One more busy week!

Max and Calli started 4 year old preschool this past week.  They are in different classes and both love their teachers!  I am excited to hear about all of the things they are going to learn and do this year!


First day of school

Calli and Boo at dance class

Max and Calli got to visit the Halloween store with Boo while we were at the rehearsal dinner.  They thought it was so cool and a little bit scary.  This is how Max greeted me the next morning~he thought he was so scary!

Craig was in a friend's wedding and Max and Calli got to go (which may have been the first actual mass that they attended).  Max thought it was "unfair" that he didn't get to go on the alter with Craig.  He also asked if "daddy was going to marry that girl" (the girl he walked down the aisle).  At the reception, Max danced his shoes off with an 11 year old that he thought was so cool.  Calli had a blast too, mostly because she caught the boquet (thanks to a friend's daughter). 




Then we went to an MS fundraiser where we won a toy basket full of stuff!  Max said we would win it and low and behold we did!  It has been a great source of entertainment since then.

We have another busy week with tball starting (2 rain outs last week) and another wedding this weekend.  More to come.....

Labor Day weekend

Max and Calli at the Aquarium


We just returned from a very fun filled weekend at Pigeon Forge.  We went with a friend Kristi and her husband Wade and two girls (Annie Lynn and Kendle).  We had a great time!  We stayed in a cabin that had an awesome view of the mountains and a few attractions for the kids (hot tub and pool table).  We visited the town for go-carts, bumper boats, putt putt, rides and of course good food. Those kids sure are full of energy!!! 
We also got to go up to Gatlinburg to go to the Aquarium.  Max was initially a little scared as he thought the sharks could "get him", but once he had confidence in the glass, he was all for it!  This was our first trip to an aquarium, so it was a cool experience for all of us!!! 
We had a small malfunction with the storm that came through (lost power for about an hour), but thankfully the power returned and we didn't have to "rough it".  It was a great weekend~love making memories with our family and friends!
