The Great Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch, appropriately named Tate Farms, to find the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. The boys got to pet the animals, jump in the corn crib, and go down the big slide. The highlight was riding in the tractor-pulled trailer into the fields to pick a pumpkin right off the vine. The weather was cool so it really felt like fall. We had a great time!

Laughter in the Lou

This past weekend I had my annual reunion with my high school friends (although we have actually known each other longer than that). We went to St. Louis and had beautiful weather and spent our time either outside or shopping. There is nothing better than laughing with old friends that love you in spite of yourself:)


My oldest friend, from kindergarten til now...

Jen and her little girl named Story (she is the only child well enough behaved to be invited:)

Go Dawgs!

We headed to Tuscaloosa this weekend to cheer the Bulldogs onto victory over Alabama. It was a nail-biter to the end and a great game to watch. We took the boys around campus before the game and Miller was given a dog bone by an Alabama fan. Luckily he didn't try to eat it! It was a fun weekend for all!

Sharks in Chattanooga!

We had a great "Friday Fun" date again with our friends Ayers and Addie Grace yesterday. We went to the Tennessee Aquarium to see all of the fish, penquins, and sharks. The sharks were the boys favorites! We finished off the day playing in the water and fountains outside.

Labor Day on the Lake

We had a great Labor Day weekend with my sister and her fam at their new lakehouse. All of the cousins swam and played all day. And, the highlight was Travis dropping Miller off of the top of the boathouse, Tate knew better than to try it:)

Highlands, NC

We just returned from a relaxing weekend in Highlands, NC with the Alstons. The boys had a fun time playing with Neely and we enjoyed the cooler mountain air!

Funny Times

Life with boys can be pretty entertaining. Just recently Miller scattered Kleenex everywhere and was quite proud of himself. And then Tate transferred the "googly" eyes from an alligator he made at school onto his own eyes. He thought it was hilarious!
