Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
As you know, we love AL football around here…Roll Tide!
The boys got to go to their first real game on Saturday and LOVED it!
Yes, they loved the football, but they also loved the popcorn, cookies, chicken fingers, pizza, and everything else they ate! ha!
Pretty sure Spencer’s favorite part was using the rail as a slide!
What a treat for these guys. Huge thank you to Ronnie for the box ticket hookup!
Roll Tide Roll!
After all the fun Halloween lead in, Halloween itself finally arrived…on a Monday! Not the best but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. It was unseasonably warm but at least it wasn’t raining like last year. Spencer and Samantha wore their Ghostbuster shirts to school to keep away all spooky things…
and Spencer’s teacher even had the same idea!
After school and naps, we headed over to the Crestline parade just in time to see some fun floats and collect some candy.
We then went to our neighborhood party where everyone enjoyed the train, bouncies and food.
We finally headed out to go trick-or-treating at about 6:45 or so…it was getting very dark and we did a big loop before our crew was worn out.
We got home to examine the loot…
and then all fell into bed exhausted! It was a great Halloween for my Kylo Ren, Darth Vander, and Little Miss Sunshine!!
Have a great weekend!
Last weekend I headed over to beautiful Nashville for my 15 year Vanderbilt reunion. I saw lots of familiar faces and got to spend time with some of my favorite girls! It was a glorious fall weekend and we walked around campus, went to the tailgate, ate some good meals, and, of course, hit up the honky tonks on Broadway.
Before the class party…
Dinner at Le Sel…
Walking around campus and the Tri-Delt swing…
Lunch at Pinewood Social…
The tailgate…
Robert’s!!
and, finally, some random bar after Robert’s that I’m too old for!  🙂
Nothing beats Nashville in the fall! Robert ditched me and Nashville to go see Phish in Atlanta and had a great time with his friends. The kids didn’t miss us one single second because they were at home with GJ and Daddo eating candy all weekend. Well, maybe not all weekend but they did make a Halloween candy house and I’m pretty sure Baby ate as much as she decorated with!
A fun weekend for all involved!
For Robert’s big birthday this year, I planned something that actually turned out to be pretty great, if I do say so myself! We went out to Pursell Farms with Ronnie, Jenny, Mary Beth and Holland for some golf (for the boys), spa (for the girls), and shooting (for all!). It really was a fun trip and, coupled with a blowout win for AL over TN and it was the perfect getaway for the birthday boy!
It was a bluebird day and the guys had a fun (albeit slow!) game of golf while the girls got a massage…
and then we headed to our awesome cabin to watch the game and hang out…
and then into our golf carts to head up to the clubhouse for dinner!
The next morning, we all went out to do 12 rounds of clay shooting. The guys LOVED it! Jenny had to leave a bit early so passed on the shooting but MB and I had gave it a go. Mary Beth is a sharpshooter! Me? Not so much. I did hit 6 clays though…out of 100. ha!
Regardless of anyone’s score at the end, we all had a really fun time. Thankfully, Susan was keeping the crew safe and sound back at home so we didn’t worry about them one bit.
It was a very special trip for a very special birthday for a very special person!
We love you Robert!
We did some really fun stuff around here last week and, unfortunately, many of the photos I took drowned with my phone in the potty! I was able to recover everything except about 5 days of photos so, overall, I was very lucky! Plus, I was still able to get a few of the photos back because I had texted them to GJ so she could just text them back to me!
On Thursday Maxwell had picture day at school. I didn’t fight the clothes battle because clothes don’t matter when your hair is on point!
Mr. Hollywood Hair himself!
That night we also had the IPC Open House. I took so many cute photos of Samantha with Mrs. Laura and of Spencer with his classmates but…they’re gone. I did text this one to GJ though which I’m very happy about!
Later that night, Robert and I got dolled up and went to the Gala at the Garden – the annual black tie gala supporting the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. We had gotten the tickets for free so figured, why not?! It was actually really fun and I’m glad we went!
On Tuesday night of this week I had a little party inviting all of the MBE Kindergarten moms over. The house was looking party ready!
I was especially glad the kitchen is nice and big because everyone stayed crammed in there all night. Also, note to self, don’t worry about food next time because nobody ate a bite!
Samantha had her school pictures on Thursday and she looked adorable, as always.
Spencer’s school pictures are today – let’s just hope I can get him in something besides his Hulk shirt!
Have a great weekend!
