TFPSA Messer Fall Ball

Michaela had another winning season on her TFPSA Messer Fall Ball Team, Medtech Forensics. She was coached once again by her Dad and Andy NeSmith. Since they had won their spring season wearing purple they decided to try it again for the fall. It must be a winning color because the girls won the tournament. Way to go girls!!!

Keel family hot dog roast

This year's Keel family annual hot dog roast had to be held on Sunday night due to everyone's busy schedule. We had a great time roasting hot dogs, eating smores, jumping on the trampoline, bobbing for apples and visiting with family and friends.

TRICK OR TREAT!

We went Trick-or-treating with the NeSmith family and had a blast!! The kids started out riding on the back of the wagon but after the first house it was just us mom's...and we had so much fun. Afterwards we went back to Nanci's parents house for some wonderful chili.

Happy 13th Birthday Micheala

HOLY MOLY!!!
We have another teenage girl in the house!!!

Happy 13th Birthday Michaela!!!

We celebrated by taking our birthday girl to Sakura's for dinner. We had an awesome time and enjoyed lots of yummy food. Our waiter was very funny and made this great dessert for Michaela. They even sang to her but had lots of problems saying her name...it was so funny!!!

Labor Day Picnic

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon sitting by the pool, eating, and visiting with family and friends. The NeSmith's joined all the Keel's for the afternoon. The kids, minus Madie (who sat with the adults and texted!) had lots of fun jumping in the pool and playing a made up "football" game.

Back to School

Can't believe the summer is over and the kids are going back to school. Madie will be a Sophomore at Leon High School, Michaela will be starting 7th at Raa Middle School and Kelly will be starting 3rd at Springwood Elementary. We've got the trifecta of schools again this year!

Fishin' at Joe Budd

We took the kids fishing out at Joe Budd Pond on Saturday morning. Although the fish weren't biting very much (we only caught 5 total) everybody had lots of fun.

Jeff caught the biggest fish of the day.

Michaela ate a worm!!!! (not really!)

We even saw a little alligator swimming around.

A day at the farm.

My brother-Justin, his wife-Amy, and my nephew-John Michael came for a visit from Pennsylvania. Jeff and I took Tuesday off from work and we all went out to Nana and Abuelo's "Farm" out in Madison to check it out and do some work.

We walked around the 55 acres and the kids had to check out the guys hunting stands.

Michaela, Kelly and John Michael had fun trying to whittle things with their knives.

Oso and Moose had fun running around the property.

We picked wild blackberries and saw the most gorgeous flowers.

Justin and Jeff had to try out the new tractor and got real dirty.

Abuelo even talked Madie into driving it and bush hogging. She loved it and didn't even mind getting all dirty too.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch together.

We all had a great day!

St. George Island beach

We spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon at St. George Island with our family.

The kids had lots of fun playing in the water, in the sand and relaxing on the beach.

The kids really had fun riding to and from in Uncle Justy and Aunt Amy's Jeep.
