the carve-off begins

The carve off commenced at the Kelley's on Sunday to battle it out for 1st prize. Brian's girlfriend Sara made these shirts for all the kids.


The little ones stayed busy making candy necklaces and eating the best ever pumpkin chocolate cake my sister started as a tradition probably 5 years ago. yum.




Cooper being curious


And loving the flashlight


The final contenders - Clark parents, Kelley's, Us (Clarks), Brian & Sara


And the winners this year - Brian & Sara

fall festival fun

I think this was our 7th annual trip up to the mountains and Ellijay. We always make a pitstop for apple treats and boiled peanuts. mmmm


The babies first trip here


Cooper at Burts Farm pumpkin patch, he LOVED running the aisles.


Ryder-boy and Steve looking festive

another year down

Another year in my thirties? WHAT? Yeah it felt kind of weird turning another year older but the birthdays are always great.

I requested another White Chocolate Cheesecake from the husband (like last year). Soooo good.


I had a birthday dinner and dessert at the in-laws but we had also previously had a much needed date night for sushi.


My little love loving the party.


And the snooze-man, just how Grandma Pip likes to hold them, asleep ;)


And Steve busted out some sweet decor skills on my big day as well. Birthdays will never get old.
