Finally Fall

A slight drop in temperature, fall displays and a few turning leaves makes just about anyone happy. We have been soaking in the beginning of Fall for the last couple of weeks. The weather has been so perfect, and it is hard to stay at home and rest :) Last weekend we went to a 1st birthday party for twins Preston and Pace Perrett. The party itself was fabulous! Not to mention we got to see lots of old friends, mostly Kyle's MC football buddies, their wives and babies. Great times.

It's the pumpkin man!

Brantlee, why don't you stand by the pumpkin man so I can get your picture??

I'll take that as a "no."

No Brantlee, please don't sit on those rocks.
(Don't act like you haven't done it to get what you want.)

What a difference children make! Here is Craig, Kyle and John Michael "supervising" their children Ryder, Collin and Charlie in the hammock.

At the end of the party, we tried to get all the little ones together for a picture. This is how it turned out. The more I look at it, it's not that bad. No one's crying. That's pretty good.


Go Tigers Go!!

Last night we ventured out with Nana and Poppa to the Northeast vs. South game. Being back in "The Jungle" (a.k.a. Tiger stadium) brought back some memories for Kyle and me. We saw lots of familiar faces and had a good time.

This morning we went to one of the best birthdays we have attended in a while! Harrison and Hudson turned 3 today, and we celebrated at Kamper Park & Zoo with a football theme. All the kids showed their school spirit. Happy Birthday boys! We love you, and we had a blast!!

After the party, we were treated to free train ride and a visit to the zoo. Awesome :)

Checking out the alligators

Cruising the zoo

Before heading home we couldn't help but stop by Laurel's annual Loblolly Festival. There were tons of people on this beautiful day. C and B stopped to decorate a pine cone from a Loblolly pine tree maybe?? I'm assuming here.

I had to pull them off of the jumpy things kicking and screaming. Literally. They were exhausted and so was mommy!

I wish these pictures justified the height of this slide. It was monstrous. But I promise no one was injured.
