Carving Those Pumpkins.....2008

The best part of the carving for my boys.....removing the "guts". Must be a boy thing!!! They did all their own carving this year :) We are so ready for some serious trick-or-treating!!! We will decorate the golf cart tomorrow. We have friends coming over and the dads will take all the boys while us moms sit outside and hand out candy......

Tiger Football...."Practice like animals....Play like CHAMPIONS!"

Well, if you are looking for us from now until Dec. 6th.....we are at the football fields :)

Shawn is the 3rd grade quarterback #1

Reid is the 1st grade safety and running back #44

I cringe everytime Shawn takes a hit! I guess at quarterback he has a big bulls eye on his back!!

Hope everyone is settling in to the routine of school and the fall season. Like I said...we live at the football fields! Until next time.......

Good Times...............

Good times indeed...........me and all the Hartsfield kids. I came to Fort Smith for my 20yr reunion. I drove up to Farmington to see Lauren's new house. I cannot even believe I am saying that.....Lauren old enough to have a home?!?! We also found out that she is having a GIRL!!! Blakely Lynn will be joining the family at the beginning of January 2009. Oh is she going to be spoiled :)

What can I say about Veronica.........if ever in your life you are lucky enough to find a TRUE friend like I have, count your blessings!!! Miles and/or time does not hinder us! We have been through more together than I ever thought possible!!! She is the kind of friend that would move mountains for me without me having to ask. I love her with all my heart and our friendship will never be broken. Who would have ever thought that we would each be where we are today with beautiful families and wonderful lives! You could have never told us that way back when .... when we were sneaking onto the football field in the middle of the night or sneaking cars out to go to Grand Ave :) I hope everyone has at least one friend like I do!!!!!!!!!

First Day of School ..... 2008

3rd grade and 1st grade...time sure does fly!! Watch them everyday or you just might miss something :)

It is a Girl.........

Lauren is due January 9, 2009. She is having a girl.....Blakely Lynn.

Alec...looking a little too comfortable :)

I couldn't believe his father let him take his toy! Hey, I got Alec and our house in the same pic :)

July 4th Fun In the Sun........Hot Springs Village

July 4th..........Hartsfield style! We go t Hot Springs Village every year....all the Hartsfield's from all over. We all rent houses in the Village and enjoy time with the family. This year, we spent some time at the lake and then grabbed our seats and our snow cones and waited for the spectacular to begin!!! All 7 of us were there!!! John, I, Lauren and Vince, Alec, Shawn and Reid. Good times!!!!!

Girls Road Trip

Can you believe your eyes..........Nana made a road trip to Texas
Pat and Nin brought her! She has never been to any of my homes.
Now she can say she has seen where I live :)

Happy Valentine's Day.....

OK....I asked John to not send me roses this year because even though I love them, they are so expensive this time of year and the practical side of me kicks in :) So.....see what I got instead!! I laugh every time I come down the stairs and pass the formal living room :) It looks like a huge hot air balloon!! We had a GREAT day. We took the boys to see Spiderwick Chronicles and then went to the club and met some friends and their kids for dinner. All the kids played tennis and tag on the golf course while we got to eat and visit inside. Happy Valentine's day .......

Shawn being Shawn......

Watch out....they sure grow fast :)

Reid's 100 Day Parade

These kindergarteners sure know how to party!! The Mansfield police came and blocked off the roads so that the classes could have a parade lead by golf carts for their big celbration!! Henry and Reid a buds!! Henry live across the fairway from us :)
