Fall 2010

There's something about a crisp fall day. So many exciting things happen during this time of year. Some of my favorite childhood memories are centered around the fall. I'll list a few of our favorite things about fall, but my absolute favorite is when you can still walk barefoot outside, but you hafta wear jeans because it's so cool.

We've got 2 acres with our new house and one of our favorite things to do this fall was feeding the deer. We take our bag of feed and Tanner goes to town spreading it out!!

Another thing we love about fall are seeing all the "s-hair coh's" (scarecrows)!! Tanner loves pointing them out so we decided that would be the perfect fall happy for his teacher at school. We also gave her some of our favorite fall candy - candy corn hershey kisses!!! Use one word to describe them? Yum.


Tanner also loved playing with our mums. He would pick off the buds and call them blueberries!!

How can you not love Halloween pajama's?!?! He was making the same face as his monster!!

Not sure if this would be classified as Fall or BOY!! But he made friends with a worm!!

And the "puntin' pay-atch"!!!! We love to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"
so that's where he learned about the pumpkin patch. Hillcrest Baptist Church had a pumpkin patch and that's where we got our pumpkin this year!! We also pass this church any time we go "into town" and eventhough the pumpkin patch has been long gone, he still tells me that's where it was!!

The Hay Maze with Daddy.

Granny helped us dig out all the seeds from our pumpkins so we could roast them!!

He's quite the little chef!!

Tanner was a puppy dog for his Halloween Party at school. I didn't want him to get his real costume dirty so we got this little cheap one!! Here he is with Ms. Ashley!!

And what (or who) was Tanner for Halloween? Drum roll, please.....ELVIS!!! Yeh, he was Elvis last year, but nobody in Jackson saw him!! And he's still young enough for me to pick his costume so...why not!!

We went to the Harvest Carnival at our church and the first stop was to see Granny!!

My family came to see Tanner!!

The next stop was Mimi & PopPop's booth!!

These are Tanner's Sunday School teachers - Ms. Carol & Mr. Robert Jordan. They love Tanner and have really taught him a lot. We couldn't ask for him to be with any better people!! He gets so excited to see them on Sunday mornings and talks about them all throughout the week!!

Tanner won the costume contest and here he is opening his prize!! Candy and a book!!

Then a few dance moves for his adoring fans!!

Hot dogs for dinner!!

Cotton candy for dessert!!

Just in case you were wondering....yes, pure sugar wires him!!!

Tanner, Pa & Da on the hay ride!!

After a fun Halloween night, it was time to put on the Halloween pajamas, start winding down and go to bed....but you're crazy if you thought that was an easy job!!!

Begging for just one more piece of candy before brushing his teeth!!

As you can see I love fall. But one other reason I love it is because it means Christmas is right around the corner. That's really my most favorite time of the year!!! So get ready because it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Davis house!! Time to break out the elf slippers!! (Yes, I really do have some and they're obnoxious!!) With that said I leave you with one last picture!!

Ladies & Gentleman, Elvis has left the building!!!!!!
