Lately

We have settled into fall quite nicely around here. We carved pumpkins with neighbors and were pretty proud of ourselves until we saw how good everyone elses were. Whoops!

I had my last Heart Walk as the Events Director. It was bittersweet. I love doing event logistics but am really excited to just be focused on fundraising for this cause I feel so strongly about. It was incredible day that went off without a hitch. I am proud and thankful for all 12K that attended and I hope the experience was wonderful for everyone!  

J.Ed and I went to our favorite concert venue, The Ryman to see The Lumineers. It was awesome! My favorite moment at every concert in this historic place is when the artist take a step back and take in all that is surrounding them. The stage, the legends that have played before them all are really overwhelming for people and then they all stand on the edge of the stage for an acupella set and the place just thunders with people stomping and clapping along. It really is incredible.

My cousin Ollie got married in Moulton, Al last weekend and it was the perfect first wedding for the kiddos. beautiful, laid back and VERY kid friendly.

It was a legit cowboy wedding and captured the bride and groom perfectly. It was rustic but elegant and really special.

How pretty?!

Thought this was so sweet. Love this verse and the intention of bringing the two families together.

It was in my cousin's backyard and the lights were so pretty in the tent.

Robbins LOVED the calf roping.

 The bride and I. She was so relaxed, I love that she went in the house and threw on a sweater. It was really cold! This one holds a special place in my heart along with her mama, they have always been two of my favorites. To see her grow into such a Godly woman and find a man pursuing that same goal is such a privilege for our family to be a part of. I am seeing more and more marriages crumble around me and seeing these two with such a strong base in the Lord doesn't make it foolproof by any means but a nice place to start.  

This was so sweet. It was a memorial for Cole's dad and Ollie's granddad's with their cowboy hats and boots.

More fun had by the kiddos.

How amazing is this? Our cousin Audwin is an artist and made these for her.

Well fall weather is definitely here and we welcome it!

Made our first pot of chili for the Bailey's.

How cute are these two?

We love S'mores! Fall is off to a great start!



Pumpkin Purchases

In West Nashville there is a really cute pop up shop every fall with the most beautiful pumpkins and cutest vignettes set up to take pictures. We had a great time picking out our (10!) pumpkins and hanging out in the beautiful weather.

4 Year Stats

I am still blown away that he has been 4 for two months. Took him to the Dr. a couple weeks ago and...

Height: 45.5 inches-99%

Weight: 45 lbs.-95%

Shoe Size-no the Dr. didn't measure, I just want for my records. -Size 13

Put simply, still huge.

Taylor

Those who know me well know I call celebrities by their first names like we are besties or something. Well, to say I am a fan on Taylor would be a bit of an understatement. I know I'm 31 and she can be a little annoying but honestly, I would rather she be who young girls are looking up to over all the Katy Perry's and Miley's of the world.

She was awesome.  

My friend Alicia came in town from Memphis and we had a blast!

Fall So Far

I know I am behind with this post, but here is a picture from the first day of school. Robbins is in Room 7 with Ms. Samantha and Mrs. Whitney and Landry is in Room 3 with Mrs. Karen, Gay and Kristie. We are so lucky to have such a great place for these kids to be loved on and learn everyday. Working outside the home is a hard and very personal decision for everyone and we are SO grateful for BMCC making it a much easier decision for our family.  

Sadly, we haven't made it to Lexington for a game yet but Lexington made it to us! UK and Western played each other at LP Field and we had a great time tailgating.

Cousins!

Sporting his Auburn t-shirt Mr. Lee gave him. He loves Mr. Lee so this gets slept in about 3 times a week.

They were really into the football game.

with fall comes lots of outdoor birthday parties! Here the kids are walking the plank at Lila's pirate party.

This picture just makes me laugh because she is straight chillin while she eats her cupcake.

Selfie

and of course more sleep overs with McCartney. This time it was at our house and the boys camped out in the playroom while the adults had patio time. It was pretty much amazing.
