Sledding

The kids were out of school on Friday because we got a dusting of snow.  I seriously think the school system just wanted to use a snow day because the roads were completely clear.  The snow was gone by mid morning so the kids didn't get to play in it too much.  Then we woke up Saturday to another dusting of snow.  This time we took advantage of it and did some sledding.

The snow was gone again by lunch time, but at least we got to have a little bit of snow fun.  

Fun at the Circus

We went to the Circus a few weeks ago.  Here are some of the photo highlights.

Cousin love....

The elephants never disappoint.

That guy is blindfolded. Crazy, huh?

Ouch!!!

Can you tell we had a great seats?  

Fall Fun

We raked up the last of our leaves yesterday.  Of course all the kids wanted to do was play in the leaves.  It did make for some nice photo opportunities though.  I have been horrible about taking photos, so it was fun to spend some time snapping photos of the kids.   Be prepared for photo overload.
 

 

 

 

Happy Monday everyone!!
 

University of Tennessee Football Game

Mitch and I both graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  We have made it back for a few football games over the years, but have never taken the kids.  We decided they were probably old enough to enjoy a game.   So this weekend we took them to their very first game.  We all had a blast.

Here's Harper sporting her new UT shirt courtesy of her Grammie. 

 

We got to Knoxville early enough to see the band make its way to the stadium.
 

We walked around a little bit before the game.  Harper was able to participate in a demonstration by the Physics department.

 

Then we made our way to Neyland Stadium.
 

The day started out a bit cold, but warmed up as the day went on.  We all had a great time. I was surprised that the kids never did get bored at the game.

 



I think we have decided to make this an annual tradition.

Labor Day 2012

 

We spent Labor Day on Center Hill Lake with family.  My youngest brother is getting married next Saturday, so we did a little celebrating.

 

 We caught some really small fish......
 

 

 

We tubed....


 

 

That girl is crazy.

 

The slide got a good workout. Miller must have gone down the slide 100 times.
 

My daredevil daughter jumped from the top of the double decker pontoon boat.

 

 We played until we were all pooped out.
 

What an awesome day!!

Fun At The Fair

We spent Friday night with family at the fair.  The kids were so excited to get to hang out with all of their cousins at the same time, plus they got to see Spider-man too.

Cute looking bunch, huh?

 

I can't wait until we get to do it again next year.  Fun times!!

Weekend Fun

Here are some snapshots from our weekend.

We played and watched some baseball...

played with cousins...

picked some blueberries from the yard....

and did some Taekwondo.  Harper was very excited that she got to spar one of her isntructors.

We also picked up our first CSA share of the season, but I forgot to take a photo.  This week we got lettuce, kale, strawberries, squash, sweet potoatoes, and green onions.  Mitch has been working like crazy on the living/dining room, so I will have photos later in the week of our progress.
