Christmas Card photo shoot

12-6-07: Christmas card photo shoot. I remember last year went much better even though you would think at 3 and a half she would cooperate more. She just wanted to be goofy and do silly faces and play with the ribbon on her dress. These were the best ones. Somehow managed to get a few decent ones. Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas card!

The Bee Movie

Our friends, Kate & Chad, were in town for Thanksgiving. We went Friday night with them to see the Bee Movie. This was Cailey's 2nd Movie at the theater. She liked it alright. Me & Richard didn't think it was that good, but Cailey did I guess.

Thanksgiving 2007

Was a very cold, windy & dreary Thanksgiving day with some sprinkles, but it was all good!
After lots of baking and preparing we headed out Thur morn to my parents house for lunch.
Then we had dinner at Richard's parents.


Just arrived at The Bates house. I had to get a quick picture of Cailey in her Turkey shirt that I made her before she got stuff all over it! And I'm glad I did!


Carson & Cailey playing

Paw-Paw & Nonna with Cailey & Carson

And Minnie of course.

Getting ready to have dinner at the White House.

Here's a video clip of the kids with Paw Paw. Carson's question & Answer just cracks me up every time I watch it!!

Cheaha State Park - November 17th '07

On Saturday, the 17th, we decided to ride up to Mt. Cheaha and do some hiking. And I really wanted to get some good Fall pictures of Cailey. We haven't really explored much of the Cheaha state park and all the trails yet. We hiked down the Chinnabee silent trail to "devil's den" I believe they call it. Has some small water falls. Was a nice hike & the trees were beautiful.
Cailey loves the outdoors so she enjoyed every bit of it!! She did a great job hiking over the rocks. We only had to carry her a few times over some really rough stuff and at the end when she got tired.

First attempt at some cute pictures. What's up with these faces she's making!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Too funny!

Here's a good picture!!~~~~~~~~~Me & Cailey

Cailey & her daddy.

Love these shots of them messing with their hair. The look that Cailey is giving Richard in that first picture is sooo cute!!

Precious!








A baby snake we saw on the way back. Not sure what kind it was, but it was an aggressive little thing. Was not afraid of us and when we got close he would put that head up. If anyone can tell what kind he was, let me know! Richard was holding Cailey and we're always on the watch for snakes.

Almost back! Was a fun adventure!

TMBG Concert - Nov 2nd

Friday, Nov 2nd, me, Richard, Andrew & Katie went to the They Might Be Giant's concert in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse. Richard & Andrew saw them last year without me, so this year I made sure I went along! Lots of people are not up on TMBG music. They do some disney songs (the new mickey mouse club songs, Higgly town heroe's), Also did the Malcom in the Middle tv show song "You're not the boss of me now". I'm not sure if that's the name of the song, but that's what I know of it! =) Of course they do more than kid songs, but this is just what I can think of that people might recognize. I've posted some videos at the end.


The opening act was Oppenheimer. They are from Ireland and were very good.

They Might be Giants




I think they were singing "Alphabet of Nations" in this first pic. Cailey has their Kids ABC video that it's on. Our camera batteries died right before they played it or I would have posted a video of them singing it, but here's the Video from the DVD, check it out!!
