Exploring the Orchards in Ellijay, GA We drove up to Ellijay, GA and explored a bit. We ended up at R&A Orchards. While there we rode on a trailer behind a tractor through the orchards, picked our own apples, and had some goodies. The area was beautiful and it was nice to get away
More Fourth of July Fourth of July was rained out, so instead it never seemed to end. We did our own fireworks on the 4th and so did some of the neighbors. Then there were more fireworks the next day. And the next. And the next weekend. The excuse: 'it was raining'
Fourth of July We went to a friend's house for the holiday. We were invited to come and swim, and socialize. We met their sons and their families and another friend of their family was there. Lots of kids for our kids to play with, and even though it was rainy
The Ranch Today My Grandma Nona and Grandpa Albert's house, Christmas Day. It was built in the early 1900s. Upstairs, on the cracked linoleum. Loving the musty smell! Confused, and a little afraid..... of the crack in the corner of the room! There it is! Isn't it creepy? It
Christmas The Scheel's Santa, Carson had a private chat with him. Can you find Woody in this picture? Savannah let Santa have Woody for a little bit, but she wouldn't go sit with him! These are our 72-hour kits, bought with our Christmas money. We are
Halloween I'm not the best picture-taker, so this is what you get from our trick-or-treat night! Carson was a miner/prospector, Tucker was an astronaut, and Savannah was a monkey. We went out with Haven, who was a horse. You can see in the couch picture

Joy to the World Merry Christmas from the Knight Family! Comments Andrea (Dec 18, 2011): Oh and Tucker's face in the second Christmas picture is a 'classic Angela' face. Andrea (Dec 18, 2011): Tucker looks as old as Carson. Weird how pictures can make you look older.
Halloween Ok, picture overload. Some are out of order. Here we are at a pumpkin patch in Visalia. On a hayride. Grandma Bea with Savannah. They had 'corn boxes'. Like a sandbox, but filled with dried corn kernels. Tucker, Carson and Savannah before trick-or-treating. Tucker didn'

family Dogs Barking In the car, listening to the local station that plays christmas music 24/7, the boys are making lots of noise, Savannah is crying. THEN the dogs barking "Jingle Bells" comes on the radio and everyone quiets down to listen. Then they start to laugh. Even Savannah is
carson Halloween 2010 Here's Carson with Sydney and Owen on Friday night, just before they went to the church Halloween party. And this is Carson and Tucker with Keith just before going trick-or-treating. Tucker has this way-cool astronaut costume..... and Carson has a way-cool knight costume. But
family Pumpkin Patch We headed out to the pumpkin patch to get into the halloween spirit. It was a perfect day for it; chilly, cloudy, windy. There were lots of blackbirds pecking at the ground and flying around in the cornfield, so it added to the whole halloween-feel. The boys got to
angela Mother's Day These are just a couple of things I got on Mother's Day: a See's candy bar and a mug. Carson gave me the mug, along with a packet of hot cocoa and a little package of mini muffins, which I ate for breakfast. I think the
family So Much Easter Candy This year Carson had three easter egg hunts: one at preschool, one here at home, and one at his cousin's house. Tucker had just two, and I think that was plenty for him. He was disinterested in the whole process after finding a few eggs. Here's
family A Fish Named Christmas........and Gran.....and Pizza All the little kids participated in acting out the nativity at the Ross Christmas Eve party; Carson got to be a shepherd, and Brianna was an angel. It was good to see a visual reminder of the greatest gift of all and the reason we celebrate Christmas - Jesus Christ. . After

carson Thanksgiving is about...... So Carson came out of preschool dressed as an indian yesterday. Nan was asking for some pictures of Carson, so here they are!
family Two Little Bumblebees Here's Tucker in his bumblebee costume. It was just a tad too small for him. This is the only time when he actually had it all the way over his feet. Here's Carson at our Church Halloween Party, where they had games and crafts and cookies.
family Painted Pumpkins We decided to paint the pumpkins this year instead of carving, cause Carson is really good at painting and not making a mess. Here's how they turned out! Comments AuntieM (Nov 01, 2009): Wow! Those really do look great. Cool idea to paint them instead of carving. Less
family Riding Bikes at the Sparks Marina To celebrate my day off (and labor day too), we all went to lunch at Fuddruckers, then for a bike ride at the Sparks Marina. Fuddruckers had really good burgers, chicken sandwiches and shakes; but you really pay for it. The food was fairly expensive for burgers. The fries were
family Independence Day We spent the 4th of July at a family BBQ. Tucker is pictured here with Brielle and Ray; they are all just born months apart from each other, Tucker being the oldest, then Ray, and Brielle. Carson went to another Home Depot project - doesn't he look so grown
