Celebrating "5" With School Friends!

Today Dylan got to celebrate his 5th birthday at school with all his friends.  We brought in pizza and football cupcakes and the kids all really seemed to enjoy it!

Halloween!

We love Halloween so much, mostly because Mimi comes and carves our pumpkins!  She's a rock star pumpkin carver and then she hangs home and hands out all the candy!  This year AJ was Batgirl and Dylan Batman - may be the only year I can get them to dress up in coordinating outfits!

We always love when Mimi visits and wish she'd never leave!  We shop till we drop, eat lots of yummy meals and enjoy the love only a Grandma can give!

Sharon Springs Cheer Pep Rally 2014!

We had a fun night and our girls and us coaches did great!!  Go Falcons!!

Nashville

This past weekend we headed off to Nashville to celebrate 10 years married!  We had SO much fun.  We stayed at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Nashville and do so many fun things!  First thing we did when we got there was we got some boot!  Authentic cowboy boots!  Happy Anniversary to us!! That day we took a hilarious pink bus tour - the ladies were so crude, so dirty and SO funny.  We had a nice dinner then hit up the honkey tonks which were SO MUCH FUN!  The next day we visited the Gaylord Opryland Hotel which was SO beautiful and saw the Ryman where The Grand Ole Opry was first done!  We had another great dinner and then of course went back for some more honkeytonkin!  Our last day we cheer on our Mountaineers to a big win against Baylor and then walked around a bit downtown before heading back for naps before a beautiful dinner inside the SUPER BEAUTIFUL Union Station Hotel which used to be a train station.

Nashville is such a fun city and we will be back again soon!  Hotel Indigo was beautiful and we had a incredible weekend!  I even met Elvis!

Apple Picking 2014

We had a really fun day at Hillcrest Orchards picking apples today.  Started out a bit rainy but it cleared up for a great day of fun!  There were pig races, a petting zoo, tractor rides, music, slides, pony rides, face painting and more!
