FIFTY

We’ve got some celebrating to do this weekend! Our favorite guy turns a half a century old! We sure do love him and are thankful for all the ways he loves us. I’d say these three are a pretty good example of living right at 50!

I am beyond grateful to celebrate our 20th birthday together! Our first birthday together on your 30th in NYC…

Robert, you make 50 look good – but we know you can’t see without your glasses anymore so you’ll just have to take our word for it. 😉 We can’t wait to celebrate you this weekend because you deserve all the good things in life!

We love you!

October! My favorite month. How about a throwback of some pumpkins with my little pumpkins on October 1, 2016…

I miss those babies!

Hoco Game

After the dance Wednesday, the parade Thursday, the pep rally Friday at school, it was finally the Hoco game! MB played Oxford and it was a really great game with Mountain Brook coming out on top! Maxwell and all of his friends had a giant after game party to go to but I did force a photo on the field before he left…

He’s still on injured reserve with his fractured hip but hoping to be back out there in another week or two. The after party was a success – and a very late night pickup for me! A good ending to a very fun Hoco week!

Hoco Parade

After the fun night Wednesday, there was more fun on Thursday with the parade! Everyone got out of school early and I took a crew of girls to go watch the parade…

I love living in Mountain Brook! Go Spartans Go!

Hoco

We had a very full and fun week of Homecoming! The fun started on Wednesday with dinner and the dance. Thankfully the boys got out of football practice in plenty of time to get cleaned up and pick up their dates…

Maxwell and his friends then met up at the Norwoods to take more pictures…

Pretty sure this convo is Maxwell being annoyed with me trying to get so many photos and Robert telling him to chill out….while I took another photo. I apologize for nothing! ha!

Just a few sophomores there!

Proud of my handsome sophomore!

They then had dinner at CCB before heading to the dance…

I think they only stayed at the dance about 30 minutes and then they had a little “after party” in our backhouse. What a fun night! Happy Hoco!
