My little skeletons...

I sure do love these spooky guys!

Family Day

So glad we made the trip down to Alexandria today for a little family time!  I am literally exhausted from our 2:30 AM bedtime last night after the AWESOME Tech game--but we all still had a good day.  Preston was having the time of his life with Read, and was NOT wanting to leave.  John Cole was loving all of the attention he was getting. I was proud to get these pictures...and know I will treasure them always.

Hope you have a great week!

Saturday at the Joe....

Even though I think it may have been the COLDEST October 6th on record, we made the best of it yesterday for the Bulldogs home game.  I did, however, decide at Preston's CHILLY soccer game yesterday morning that John Cole just did not need to be out in the elements and scrambled to find a sitter at the last minute.  It was the right decision because P lasted into the 4th quarter before leaving the game--which Tech won to go 5-0 for the season.  How 'bout them DAWGS!  The true test, however, will be next weekends test against Texas A & M  in Shreveport.  I can't wait!  Hope you are enjoying this chilly weather.  I sure am :)  More later....

Getting in the game...

Sorry I don't have more pics--but since it rained the entire time we were at the soccer field this morning I found it more challenging than it was worth to hold John Cole, an umbrella and take pictures.  So, this is what I got :)

What a difference a week makes!  Still don't know why P refused to play last week but he seemed to enjoy it this week...so THIS was our first soccer game :)  P even got in at goalie for a brief period. We rewarded him with a trip to McDonald's after the game.  (We NEVER do that!!) All in all, I think he had fun and that is the whole point.  Go Spartans!

Nursery Rhyme Parade

What a fun Friday morning we have had!  We started our day with the whole family (Daddy too!) attending LPECC's nursery rhyme parade.  It was so much fun and I really enjoyed seeing the creative costumes.  Preston was the mouse who "ran up the clock."  He waved at everyone on the "parade route" through the parking lot and was EATING UP the attention:)  John Cole enjoyed the parade as well, and was waving and clapping to the music.

Afterwards, Mrs. Donna's class went in and the children were to say the rhyme for the character they were dressed up as.  I was SO PROUD of my P as he stood and said "Hickory Dickory Dock" with gusto!  After we left, John Cole and I attended MOPS then had lunch with Daddy at Counter Culture.  John Cole has had a fever virus this week but is doing MUCH better :)

Happy Friday Everyone!

A magical day....

Think I hear the iPhone5 calling my name because pics from my phone just DON'T transfer well to my blog. I have and old-school 4 and Jeff has a 4S and his look better than mine so I bet the 5 would look really good.  I digress....

Jeff and I took a WHIRLWIND trip to Orlando for him to attend a conference one of his clients was hosting.  Even though we were staying at the Disney Swan, I had no idea we would get to go to Disney...but we DID!  It was just one day, but we went as fast as we could and saw as much as we could.  We had so much fun and I've got the Disney bug REAL BAD!  The rest of our time was spent having meals/attending socials with his client and we very much enjoyed our getaway.  THANK YOU to Nana who kept the boys when she was sick herself.....feel better NANA!!

We got back to reality really fast yesterday as poor John Cole was at the pediatrician yesterday with 103.4 degree fever when Nana first arrived with him and was feverish through the night.  His fever did break once last night in the night--he was cool as a cucumber--and although it did not last I was glad I could least get it under control.  He drank 8oz of Pedialyte this morning and is resting so that's all I can do until we go back to the Dr. at 1;15....thanks again Nana too for taking such good care of my sick baby until I could get to him!

Hope you are having a great week!

Maybe next time....

Preston was raring to go this morning to his first soccer game.  He was digging his uniform.  He was kicking the ball in the yard and driveway with Daddy.  He even didn't throw a fit leaving a birthday party when it was time to go to the soccer field.  However, when he saw the LARGE crowd of spectators his demeanor changed instantly.  The sidelines is the closest he got to the field.  Here's hoping next week goes a little better.....happy weekend!
