48-45 AU!!

What a game...what a game!

The Iron Bowl is always a great game...NO matter what the season has showed up to that point!

Tonight didnt disappoint!

WARRRR EAGLE!

Whoop whoop!

48 to 45!

Such a great game!

These Auburn cuties had so much fun playing with each other the entire game! They stopped to check out the score from time to time...but overall, they didnt have a care in the world that there was a game on!
We also let some Alabama fans eat and watch the game too....they just weren't allowed in the picture! :)
We enjoyed dinner and the game at the Messer's. Always a good time!
AND...then that was it! Game over! War Eagle! Look at allll of them who rushed the field! Such a great game!

State bound!

For the 1st time in school HISTORY {which is crazy to think} JHS is going to STATE!

Those boys have played a great season!

We didnt make it to the round 4 game last night but we still cheered from home!

Way to GO boys!

And...so next Friday, they will be heading to AUBURN to fight it out for the STATE win! School is cancelled that day! The whole city will be cheering on the Eagles!

GO Eagles!

ROUND 4! Whoop whoop!
They played the Anniston Bulldogs in the regular season and beat them but then had to play them again in the play-offs!
WHOOP WHOOP! We drove past and the line was 5 miles long trying to just get to the stadium! There was a huge turn-out! I hate we missed it but so glad they won!

Thankful 2019!

So much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving!

Truly blessed and grateful for what God has chosen for my life! Friends, family, work, happiness, love and more!
We had the best lunch with the Law side at Garfredricks in Oxford! YUM-O!
Then we headed to Birmingham yesterday afternoon to LaLa's house for more Thanksgiving YUM! ALLLL the food!
Meg is a pro at her cookies! I love taking pictures of them because they are just toooo pretty to eat!
This crazy crew!
The guys didnt want to be included in the picture taking...so I took a picture of them...around the TV watching football! :)
Then..I laughed SO hard! Lily decided to open her very own hair studio! Meg did her's first and then the rest of the time..Lily did everyone else's hair! :)
The deep concentration face as she worked hard to 'make it beautiful!'
Doing a 'perfect' messy bun! :)
Blake's home! Whoop whoop! We missed Margie but enjoyed seeing him! Lily enjoyed fixing his 'surfer boy' hair! :)

Lanier Islands~ Part 2!

So, bright and early the next day...we headed to breakfast and then spent the entire day at 'License to Chill!'

The kids had a BLAST and the day was perfection! The weather was so nice...the views were amazing and we had the best time making TONS of memories and sharing TONS of laughs!

'Tis the Season!
We loved our buffalo plaid!
Love these two!
We had the best time playing in the snow!
Love this little girl with no front teeth!
They kept wrestling in the snow! Calhoun didnt know what to think! ha!
And...off they went!
She is just toooooo cool for school! :)
Snow girl!
Having so.much.fun.
Ice skating! OHH...Alexis...she is not so talented at ice skating! ha! She was happy to push that 'helper' around! ha!
Bahaha....look at Alexis in the back! ha!
Cassell has been requesting me to take her ice skating for a month now....so was SO excited to finally get to skate with me! {I have NO idea how she got it in her head to want to do it with me...but I was excited that we got to!} :)
Lake Lanier was so pretty!
Gorgeous!
THIS was SO much fun! We loved going down soooo fast!
We rode this contraption like 15 times!
They would just sit on it and stay and the guy would start it again! The area wasnt crowded at all so we rode allll the rides as many times as we wanted!
So fun!
THIS....I just can NOT describe! So, Tyler, Alexis, Lily and I rode this and it was something! We spun SUPER....SUPER fast around and around and the faster it went the more 'stuck' to the sides we became to where we could not move a muscle! Literally it was the oddest feeling! I was laughing soooo hard but then I got stuck that way because of the pressure. It was hilarious!
Bumper cars were a big hit!
This was my driving partner! :)
The largest snow tubing ride! They loved it!
Ready to go!
Racing down!
Tyler and Lex raced...Alexis blew him out of the water!
Lily rode and rode and rode!
So...I did this! Yeah...NObody else would ride with me....AND....when I rode...there was NO one else on it. Just me. JUST me. ON this! See that white blob up high in the air...that was me! This ride was amazing! Oh my goodness I have never flown in the air like I did on this ride! It was crazy!
We went back to the lodge...rested...cleaned up and then headed to a great restaurant for dinner! We made a Starbucks run before all piling into the ole minivan and driving to see all the Christmas lights together!
While we were looking at all the lights...we were singing Christmas songs! Well..Calhoun said he wanted to sing 'Away in a Manger' by himself. So...we all stopped to hear him. Well...he started singing..'If youre happy and you know...pull your ear!' And would not stop signing it! We were all laughing so hard! :)
They had some beautiful lights!
Then we finished off the night like this! Notice the little head by 'Joe!' Calhoun wanted him to teach him how to 'hit the balls!' Such sweet memories made and cant wait for our next adventure with the Rays! :)
The next day..we loaded up and headed home! We enjoyed the beautiful afternoon at home before heading to meet Gran and Ben for dinner at the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Gadsden!

Lake Lanier life ~Part 1

We had the best little getaway with the Rays over Thanksgiving break that got us all in the holiday spirit!

We set out Monday morning and spent the day shopping, enjoying Buford, GA, watching the new Mr. Rogers movie {A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood} before heading to Lanier Islands to the Lodge!

The Mall of Georgia is right by Lake Lanier so we shopped until we dropped and marveled at how HUGE the mall was after our movie!
They had it decorated so pretty for Christmas already!
Alexis refused to speak to Santa...thus us explaining to her that means she gets nothing for Christmas...but Lily was ready to take off to him! :) This is her getting ready to leave him...but still explaining what all she wants! :) He was a beautiful Santa!
Then the Ray's made it to the Lodge so we enjoyed the beautiful night by the fire!
These four had so much fun together!
Joe....or how he was called 'Joe Joe' this trip.....just loves Tyler so he just HAD to get in the picture with him! Look at that smile as he sat with him! Tyler looks like he has the Star of David on top of his head in this one! ha!
My little family!
We came in and curled up! Our room was so cozy and the view of the lake was beautiful out on the patio!
So quaint!
