We got to do lot's of "touchdown Alabama's" this weekend!! Rollllll Tide!!

City Festival

Our hometown had a little festival to celebrate their 60th anniversary this past Sunday. Joe and I took the kids to enjoy all the festivities and they had a blast! Lots of balloons, ice cream and playground fun -- made for a perfect Sunday!

Putting their order in for balloon animals!

Charlie requested a black cat

Reese got a pink poodle -- she is "blowing it up" in this pic

I am Charlie, hear me roar!!

Yes, that is my husband climbing the playground equipment. And yes, he's 31 years old!
Charlie thought he was hilarious!!

Roll Tide!

Saturday, Joe and I headed down to Tuscaloosa with Jennie and Ingram to watch the Tide beat Penn State! Yayyyyyy! We had such a good time. We had lunch at MugShots (yummy) and then walked around campus and visited old friends. We even stopped into Gallete's for a Yellow Hammer (my favorite!). A big thanks to Patti for watching the kids for us.....they had a good time too. They went to the zoo and played in the splash pad! LOVE football Saturdays!!

Our handsome boys throwing up what looks to be gang signs.....really Joe and Ingram??

On our way to the stadium!!

Fall First Day of MDO

Yayyyy, it's back to school time for the kiddos!! Today was their first day of Fall MDO and all went well. Reese pranced into her class as if she owned the place and Charlie did good too. He wanted to cry so bad when I was telling him bye, but he didn't. He held his blankey as tightly as he could, puckered his bottom lip out, and got just a little teary eyed, but held back, and I'm so proud of him. His teachers said he had a fabulous day, played well with all the kids and even ate his lunch.....yayyyyy Charlie! Reese did great too.....she was in her big girl panties with no accidents and played great with her friends. A successful day at school for both kiddos, now that's what I call a good day!!!

They weren't feeling too photogenic this morning!

Let's go!!

This is a little keepsake they made in Charlie's classroom today. It is so cute......something I will hold onto forever!!

Family Bike Ride!

This past weekend, we decided we wanted to go on a little family bike ride....problem is, our kiddos aren't big enough to ride bikes just yet. Soooooo, we loaded up the bikes on the back of Joe's car and went to the local bike shop to purchase kiddie carriers for our bikes. When we got there, we discovered my bike wasn't cut out for a kid carrier (something about the frame for the kid seat wouldn't fit to my bike), so I got to pick out a shiny new one (score!!). The kiddos each got to pick out a helmet and we were off. We took the kids riding a couple of times this weekend, and they honestly love it. Lots of little giggles and "faster, faster Mommy" requests! On Labor Day, we didn't have any major plans, so we loaded up and took the bikes out for a stroll. My sister came with us, and I must say it was quite entertaining. She hasn't ridden a bike in like 10 years, so she had some "getting the hang of it" to do and I got to laugh a lot!!! Hope you guys all had a great Labor Day!!

Time for some Football!!!!

Fall is almost here and it's that time of year again......time for football!! The kiddos put on their Bama gear and we headed over to some friends house to watch the game. I love football Saturdays - you can always count on good friends, good food, yummy drinks, and a good time! Love my little cheerleader and football player too! Roll Tide!!

Reese and her buddy Scarlett.....how sweet is this picture??

It's so hard to get a group shot of these kids.....Reese is screaming to hurry up, Philip is looking off in the distance somewhere......

.....Scarlett is making a mad dash to get away from the madness, and Charlie looks just plain bored. At least we tried......

Roll Tide anyways!!

Meet the Teacher

Today we had Meet the Teacher Day at Reese and Charlie's school. They both have WONDERFUL teacher's this year, I could not be happier!!! I took this opportunity to have a little photo op this morning before we went! I've been slacking on picture taking lately, so this get's me somewhat caught up!!

Oh I could just squeeze them!!!

Charlie comforting Reese.....ha! Yeah right. She is fussing because I told him to put his arm around her.....such a drama queen!

The loves of my life! Don't ask why I am trying to take pictures this way!

These 3 little cuties all got in the same class.....yayyyyyy! I don't know what we're going to do when they get separated one day, and I know they will......oh, that's going to be a sad sad day!
