Fall Odds & Ends

Here’s a few random IG photos…

On Mondays and Tuesdays we have to be at school before we even usually get out of bed!! We don’t like it!

 

Two of Gray’s favorites… his iPad and fire helmets!

 

Gray figured out that Halloween was about candy.. he loved it! And, look at those goldilocks.. I get told at least twice a day that SHE is just the prettiest baby! ha!

 

Trunk or Treat

 

 

 

Oh, these bracelets! They are EVERYWHERE!!! They remind me of the slap bracelets that we all had in elementary school!

 

Obsessed!

 

I love getting to attend school activities with this boy! Field trips and fall parties… the best!

 

Chris was out of town for most of October. He finally came home on Halloween Day! We were so excited to have Daddy back!! We quickly put him to work carving pumpkins and going trick or treating.

 

Loot for the Troops at the dentist office! We had over 6lbs of candy!!! Gracious!

Foul moods!

 

Well, I managed to get myself super sick a few weeks ago. I had flu like symptoms and was basically dying for a few days. I even ended up in the ER. All my tests came back normal (and yes, I felt like I may have jumped for joy with that big ole NEGATIVE!! HA!). No one was ever able to tell me what was wrong with me. After about a week and a half though, I was on the mend. Whatever it was, it was awful. I’ve never been so sick in my life! to Gray took full advantage… like suckers for breakfast. He knew I didn’t have the energy to take it away. Smart boy!

 

And OF COURSE I managed to get sick on the ONE weekend that we actually had super fun stuff planned! It was heartbreaking!

 

Chris is loving his birthday gift! And, Gray… no words!

 

This little girl took wonderful care of me though. She hung by my side and watched our favorite movies with me. Love her sweet heart!

 

Since I had to miss my Oxford fun, Uncle Michael sent me his tickets for the following weekend! Love that amazing man!! (and love his 50yr line seats too!)

Another thing going on while I was sick… Ethan was Star of the Week! This is the poster that Daddy and E came up with! Makes me giggle every time I see it.

He cleans bathrooms for me… true love!

 

Love these sweet kiddos!

The #1 trick to parenthood… pick your battles!

Patriots Show Night

This year the girls had a pre-competition show night at Memphis Elite. It was a little “warm up” of sorts. All of the Memphis Elite squads were there along with several of the big high school groups since their regionals were that coming up weekend. It was fun for all the little girls to watch all the big girls. It was nerve-wracking for all the mamas to watch. OH MY has cheerleading changed since I was in high school. The stunts are WAY bigger and WAY WAY WAY more dangerous and the tumbling is out of the world! WOAH! I’m seriously hoping LK goes more the pom route!

 

These are the sweetest girls!

They did GREAT!!! I can’t wait till competition!!

                                                        

Fall Photos {2013}

I absolutely LOVE our fall photos this year! Molly did a fantastic job! We met up with her early on a Friday morning at an old abandoned building near South Main. We took a few pics there and then headed down this little walkway to a spot overlooking the Mississippi. It was perfect!! Of course, Gray would NOT cooperate at all! I was convinced that she didn’t manage to get a good family pic. I even told her half way through the shoot to just not worry about Gray being in the pics anymore. She still gave it her best shot and I was COMPLETELY surprised when I saw our images. Girl worked some magic, I tell you! MAGIC! She did an amazing job!! LOVE them!
