Happy Birthday Austin!

Austin turned 38!!!

The kids helped make him a cake and bought him a new shirt to wear to the Ole Miss game in Texas

Austin and I celebrated with friends in Austin, TX.  Here are a few pics from our trip.

The Driskill Hotel

Once we were back in town we jumped right back in to school and sports. Ebbie brought Woody and Jessie home from school for a play date.  Bo swam in his first ever swim meet.  He did a great job!

Soccer and a long Labor Day Weekend

The kids had 2 days off from school for Labor Day so we did a few fun things.

We went to Russell C. Davis Planetarium....

Austin showing the kids a few things about the solar system.

Part of Ebbie's cute soccer squad.  They're pretty fierce too!

Part of Bo's wild soccer team.

We went out to dinner and Bo loved the fried pickles.... a boy after my own heart : )

With all the extra time, we cleaned and organized our house and FINALLY got our fountain fixed out front!

Ebbie fell in our driveway and had to get stitches in her knee (for the second time). She still looks pretty....even while in pain.

And her bff, McClara, got to come for a visit and cheer her up afterwards.

These are older pictures but I wanted to post them of Ebbie and her cousin Meg.

Love y'all!

Starting School

I was kind of sad for the kids to start school.  We had a fun summer and I enjoyed spending time with them. And honestly, 7 hours and 8 minutes is too long to be away from Moma!! Luckily Ebbie is only going to Kindergarten for half days so I still get lots of time with her.  Here are some pictures of their first day of school in their uniforms.  I wish I could freeze time....just for a little while.

Ebbie and her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Smith

This is Bo's report card from 1st grade....Smart Boy!

Love y'all!

Chattanooga

We had a fun time in Chattanooga. We went to visit Nettie Taylor who is on the road to recovery and is back home in Yazoo City. Afterwards we went to Rock City to see the 7 states from the top of Lookout Mountain, went on a carriage ride, and visited the children's museum! Ebbie loved it so much that we got in the bed Friday night she said "Ahh, this is the life"!

The kids love being silly in the hotel room

 Out to eat at my favorite restaurant. Fish Tacos are my fave!!!
 The kids were watching them make pizza in their brick oven and the cooks gave them pizza dough to play with.

Rolling down the hill by the river in downtown

All the kids loved the carriage ride!

Bo enjoyed the music room

Ebbie liked playing nurse from the cvil war
