labor day ribs

i did not snap a pic of the rib man, but he did a great job as usual! we spent the late afternoon with a lot of our family. it was great. love seeing these sweet faces! brax was trying to read cy this book, but cy was not too interested?

we even had tay, that is a fun treat!

the pool was a little chilly, boat riding was the activity of choice for most.

slumber party

this is probably be the closest thing we will have to a slumber party around here for a while, but it was great! sweet braxton was our first spend the night friend and all the boys were so excited. they stayed up late watching cartoons and chatting. brax informed me that no he was not tired until the 3rd yawn! about 10 or 3 yawns later everyone was out. colby did not make the cut all night. he had to go to his bed. the big boys were up early ready to play legos! so much fun and a memory to hold on to for the next year or 2?

busy weekend

this weekend was super busy, but tons of fun!! we had a few friends over for a backyard cookout on sunday afternoon.
gotta get in as many gatherings with this guy and crew before he heads out on us!

they will always be good buddies!

look at this chick. you would never have guessed that just a few months ago she lived in another "world." she is as much of this crew as any one!!

baby b won't be long now!!

saturday we showered my dear friends with lots of fun baby stuff. baby baldwin should be here in the next couple of weeks and i can't wait. having a friend since 6th grade is fun, especially when you don't have any sisters. i am so excited for Bec and Nick and can't wait to meet their sweet little friend. the shower was fun and the weather was amazing. what a sweet kiss that was!

No girls at the man cabin....

friday night was all boy time.....
nate, joey and karl loaded up their mighty crew and headed to the cabin. 6 boys in all here they were lined up on the cabin porch. they finally crashed around 11 and slept all nite. i guess you call that a success!
court and i took advantage of the situation and headed to the mall. she just had bristol and with plenty of snacks we were set. while our boys made "man" memories, i made sweet "sis" memories of my own. it was great.

oh but before they camped, they had to go huntin!

this scary crew managed to kill 30 birds. oh man, were they proud!

1st day back to school!!!!

after a looong 4 month break, school is back in session! yippeee!!

the newest member of pre-K 4 class. he is so big and he makes my heart so happy. can't wait to see what this year holds for him.
this 2 year old is really coming into his own and making us laugh! 2 year old teachers watch out....

we are all celebrating the beginning of this year. we love our school, our teachers and our friends.

cheeese.....

a family affair

last thursday we headed off as a family of 7 to the titans game. dad snagged some extra tickets and we all got to sit together. it was TONS of fun. sweet Cy loves him some pep and probably chatted about the fireworks the entire walk!
tuck even made it back in town. a BIG treat for colby!

so blessed by these 2....

colby wore this helmet to the game and most of the time we were there. he LOVES the titan games!

thankyou Lord for this day!!!
