Track Out

We're enjoying our first track out of this school year. We spent the first 8 days in Disney and had a great time with all the grandparents and my cousins that we hadn't seen in 3 years. Just look at the pictures and you'll see that we had lots of fun!!! Now we're spending our days close to home playing with friends and enjoying the down time. We're going to Bounce U on Tuesday and I'm hoping to find a pumpkin patch to go to on Wednesday and finish out the week going to a kids halloween party with our neighbors!

Love It!

Last night Brian and I went to Jimmy V's for dinner and had a wonderful time! The kids stayed with April and Joey and had a blast playing with Oliva and Davis. We were hanging out with April and Joey when suddenly the running kids came to a standstill. Maggie and Parker ran into one another and Maggie knocked out Parker's top front tooth. So here's a picture of our Jack-O-Lantern!!!

Keep your eyes out for some exciting news!

You should see Parker, he looks like a Jack-O-Latern! One of his top middle teeth is getting ready to fall out, it looks like it's pointing out of his mouth. We keep telling him to keep his fingers out of his mouth but he seems so excited for it to fall out. Don't be surprised if a picture is posted tomorrow!! Oh yeah, he is already missing 2 teeth on the bottom so he's gonna look silly soon!

On to Maggie, this afternoon she asked to watch a movie upstairs in the guest room. She picked out Barney's Christmas, I was trying to be funny and said "your weird" and she replied "yeah Parker tells me that sometimes!!"

Another Fall Saturday

Our day started off earlier, Maggie cheered for the 9 o'clock game but had to be at the field at 8:05 for pictures. Her squad did a great job!

We ended up staying at the field all morning, Parker had pictures at 10am followed by an 11am game. His team did an awesome job, I think the final score was a tie. You can tell by the picture below that Parker was full of determination!

We were all hungry after the morning on the fields so we headed to Cleveland, NC (it's about 20 minutes from our house) for a charity lunch that benefit a young boy battling cancer. Darth Vader, R2D2, a Stormtrooper and Jengo Feit were there giving high fives to all the kids. The boy's Cub Scout Troop put the benefit together and collected $5 from each person for lunch all of which was going to help his family get through this tough journey. I am so thankful that Parker and Maggie are healthy!

And before I forget, the kids had a great week at school and this is crazy but they only have two weeks left before they track out then we're off to Disney!!!

Falls is Here

Fall is here, at least it felt like it this morning! We were up and out of the house early for Parker's first Flag Football game. He got to hike the ball, run the ball and he had a great catch that helped them gain some yards. They don't keep score but Parker said it was 12 to 12, I said oh I thought it was 2 to 2, and his reply was "Mom your still thinking about how they score points in baseball!!" Parker also told me that he needs to get heavier because at this point he won't be playing tackle football next year because he doesn't weigh enough!!!!




Once Parker's game was over it was time to move our chairs to the middle of the field to watch Maggie cheer on the football players. She did a great job and had a great time doing it. At one point I looked out on to the field at the football players and there were a few players watching the cheerleaders instead of getting ready for the next play!!! At half-time the ref came over to Maggie's coach and asked if the girls wanted to do a half-time cheer out on the field, they looked good!!! Check out the half-time show on YouTube!

Taylor Swift Concert

On May 2nd I took Maggie to her first concert, still can't believe I took my 5 year old to a concert!!!! We started off the night with dinner at Pei Wei, Maggie ate her entire dinner with chop sticks. From there we headed to the RBC Center for the show. We were a little disappointed when we arrived and found out that Kellie Pickler was ill and wouldn't be opening for Taylor Swift. Our seats were really high but it didn't matter, Maggie started singing the moment Taylor hit the stage!!

Enjoying some "Dippin Dots" before the show!

Think she's having fun!

Parker's 7th Birthday

I can't believe my little boy turned 7, it seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. Parker wanted to go to the races to celebrate his birthday, so he invited the neighbor kids and their dad's and headed to the Wake County Speedway. He came home from the race with the biggest smile on his face, he said it was awesome and a car caught on fire!
We spent the Saturday before his birthday going to the local bike shops checking out bikes and trying to figure out what type of bike to get him. He tried out BMX bikes and Mountain bikes and each time he was on a Mountain Bike he smiled from ear to ear!! So on Sunday Brian took Parker out and bought him a mountain bike, it has "7 gears". All Parker wants to do is ride his new bike!
