September in one post

Ahhh... slowly catching up! 

September is crazy busy, but crazy fun!

Auburn Football began in the ATL.

Our first game of the season was a blast and the Tigers got a big win in a stadium that seemed to be jinxed. :)

Our half-time show was themed "Arcade" and my girls were A++!

We traveled to Cullman to see our sweet Claire ring in her first birthday...

2nd cousins, Nash and Sophie.

Aunt Sharon and Uncle Bill are the sweetest!

We also got to ring in the big 9-0 for grandpa!

He was super surprised!

The kids had a blast at Uncle Greg's lake place!

Meanwhile... school proofs came back. 

lol

I asked Burke why he smiled like that, and he said "The man didn't give me time to show my teeth!" haha

Back on the Plains...

That's right... from hoop batons, to fire knives, we covered our bases. 

Ummmm how cute is this? Danielle sent me this winner.

CFA Night of Hero's, and B and HM got to visit all the first responder's vehicles on 9/11. It was a special tribute to those men and woman. We are so grateful!

Soccer started, and well, these two buds couldn't be any cuter.

Things started looking up at school. Burke began getting into a groove and doing really well. I am so proud of his hard work and kind heart for others. 

Grandparents visit means a Blue Bell trip!

HOCO week!

And sister got some time with her sweet bud, Leesl. 

She also got her first majorette costume made by Mrs. Sheryl. She thought she was so big! 

Some sweet Sunday church snaps.

haha

Ryan coached Burke's soccer team with Brooks Friday.

And Little Miss thought she had to be a part of team. :) 

Sweet days spent with my baby. Matching is a big bonus.

Last but not least, sleeping babies. 

I just love them.

August Catchall

Well, that was a super long blogging break, and totally was not intended, but keeping up the blog in the fall is almost impossible! So I am going to attempt to have five posts before the New Year for each month I missed to "catch-up"... basically a photo dump with little to few words. :)

Here goes!

AUGUST

We finished up the summer days with our new neighbors, The Jacks Family, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have such a wonderful family next door. These kids have a ball together.

I would have you all know that Burke and school have become buds. :) He is thriving and I have a lot of wonderful teachers for that. That, frequent lunch dates in the cafeteria, and lots of Kissing Hands.

It just so happens that band camp and the first day of school are on the same day, so it makes for a hard season of life. But I wouldn't trade it for a thing. 

The picture above just makes me laugh... good use of props. haha

Daddy also started his business (and would kill me if he saw that I posted this picture- haha... I couldn't help myself with the sign). The move has been an adjustment, but he is doing so very well. I'm so happy to see him living his dream.

Meanwhile, sister started a new ballet studio and is LOVING it. 

Her teachers are the sweetest and so amazing with kiddos. 

And after Chicken Salad chick with Miss Libby and "her boy" she gets some Collins time. She has inspired HM to practice her cartwheel. :)

And look at the these sweet girls!

This was Jane Paschel's 4th birthday luncheon. 

Friday night light with these Sylacauga Aggie fans!

And we even got to see our favorite Alumni!

On Tuesday and Thursday's this one started MMO for the last year (cue tears), 

 but on a few of the mornings that I didn't have band camp, HM and I got in some super fun girl time. 

Oh how I cherish these days with her! 

My little cat lady. :)
