Flag Football

CJ played flag football for the first time this year.  He had a great time.  Charlie was his coach and he liked that.  Savannah would tell Charlie that she was his assistant coach but only liked to help him when it worked for her.  It was fun watching the 4, 5, and 6 year olds play.  CJ's job was to hike the ball most of the time.  He would sometimes just lay his head on the ball.  Here are some pictures.

Grayson Highlands Camping Trip

We were blessed enough to be able to go camping at Grayson Highlands State Park again this year,  We went with the Richardsons, Spechts and My Kelsey.  My parents and Larry and Renee joined us this year.  Unfortunately the weather was not the greatest this year.  We had a lot of rain due to a hurricane.  That however did not stop the kids from playing in the rain or riding their bikes in the rain.  I am pretty sure I had to change CJ's clothes at least once if not twice a day.  We did not get to do the Virginia Creeper Trail this year due to the rain.  We did however take our bikes to Damascus to ride there and have a picnic at the park.  We got to carve our pumpkins again and the kids loved that. It was great having the camper there so we did not get cold this year.  Overall it was a good trip and can't wait until we go back next year.

Savannah is 7 years old!

Today our sweet girl turned 7 years old.  I can't believe where the time has gone.  She is such a loving child and is full of energy.  She never quits making us laugh.  I am excited to see what the next year holds for her.

Dollywood

This year we got to go to Pigeon Forge with Pa-Paw.  We had a great time.  We went to Dollywood and the kids had a blast.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

One tired boy!

Savannah and CJ's First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for both Savannah and CJ.  Savannah started 1st grade this year and CJ is starting 4 year old preschool this year.  They were both excited about seeing their friends.  Here are some pictures of them before school.

Not sure why CJ wanted his sunglasses on. :)

Lake Day 2016

Today we had our annual Lake Day.  We started this several years ago where we pick one day each summer that we get together with our friends from college.  It is so much fun to hang out with everyone and catch up.  Our group has grown as people have gotten married and had children.  Lake day is never quiet and the kids have a blast playing with each other.  Here are some pictures from our day.  Can't wait to see everyone again.  I also need to give a shout out to Kelsey who figures out the best day every year for us to do this.

CJ's 4 year old Birthday Party!

Today we celebrated CJ turning 4 with a Birthday party at the YMCA.  He had a bounce house party and loved it.  We invited his friends to celebrate with him.  He had a "Blaze" party and cake.  He was so excited.  We were a bit late because we were at the beach over his Birthday.  He thought he was having 2 Birthdays this year.  Here are some pictures from the fun!  

 CJ did not want to have his picture taken.
