My Beautiful Children!









I took these photos at my moms house over the weekend. Sometimes I realize that I get so busy that I dont really take very many pictures anymore. These turned out so great!

Boo @ the Zoo 2010

Well, we made our annual trip to Boo @ The Zoo this past weekend. I don't know what I am going to do when the kids are too old to go! We have been going for about 6 years now and we LOVE it!!! Granted if you go looking for a bag full of free candy you will be sorely disappointed. The kids get just enough candy to make it fun, mom and dad get some good local coupons, and that free Krispy Kreme Donut is to die for!!! Abby loves to ride the carousel since it goes backward for this occasion!!! LOL I guess we are just Halloween people, we love Halloween!!!

Fall Decor at the Riggs House

I love this time of year! I am a huge holiday house decorator! I usually decorate for Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, Easter, Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!!!! For the Fall Season through Thanksgiving I usually just use my regular Fall decorations, about a week before Halloween I will put out a few Halloween decorations. So here's what I have done so far!!!








New Sink Installation






First of all let me tell you I am ALL girl when it comes to home DIY. My thoughts on a new sink was you take one out and put the new on in and its all done. WRONG! Ha! I didn't realize when I asked my husband to install my new sink that it would require new pipes and an extra trip to the home improvement store! We had a regular stainless steel sink that the previous owners had in the home. I had saw a few online photos of colored sinks and I was really impressed when I saw some of the colored sinks were on the cabinet displays. So we decided to get a new sink!! I got the black sink with the small basin and a large basin. I LOVE IT!!!! Its amazing what a difference such a small upgrade can do!!

Dollywood






So we finally made it back to Dollywood on Labor Day! We had not been since the summer BEFORE Brady was born. Brady stayed with NeNe while we took Abby. She loves it so much and he is still rather small for such a long hot day! Abby rode the elephants, bumper cars, sky rider, did adventure mountain, mystery mine, and river rampage! This was her first REAL roller coaster trip, she rode Mystery Mine and loved it but said she would never do it again!HA HA!!! It was a much needed trip with our little girl. I sometimes think when people have more than one child they tend to forget that each one needs their own special time!

A Day with Friends




Before school started we went and spent the day with our friends the Reagans. Abby and Wesley have been friends since before they were born! LOL They always have fun together and the great thing about that is while they hang out and play---I get to hang out with one of my best friends as well--Adrienne! We have been friends for around 10 years. We worked together at JCPenney back in the day!! LOL Its always fun hanging with the Reagans!
