Throwback Thursday

Rebeka sent me a flash drive of the pictures from her wedding and oh how happy I was going back through her big day!  Here are a few of my favorites with my girls:)

Random September Photos

This month they had family fun day during Bert's drill weekend.  The kids thought it was so cool to see their daddy on base.  They had so many games and activities.  Now the girls think that the military is all fun and games!  HA!

Go Big Orange!  I had to bribe the girls to wear their smocked Smokey dresses 

We had our own tailgate with the neighbors.  So much fun!

The girls spent a Sunday afternoon at Pope with me while the SGA kids decorated the halls for homecoming.  

The theme was "Decades" and they did an amazing job.  This was one of my favorites.  The seniors had teachers recreate the Brady Bunch.

This was my all time favorite painting done by one of my students.  So talented!

All the kids ride their scooters through the halls on decorating day.  My girls thought it was so much fun to join in on the fun!

Labor Day

Our neighbor's mom owns a beautiful lake house on Lake Lanier.  It stays rented almost year round, and since we can't afford the $8,000 it costs to rent it, we've never gone.  Well.....she let us know this weekend that it was empty and ready for guests.  All we had to pay for was the cleaning service.  We were up there within two hours of her telling us!

Three families went and we had plenty of space since it sleeps 25 people!  It was the perfect getaway and we felt so spontaneous!

Elizabeth loved the tubing.  Caroline wouldn't even try it.

She was nervous at first, but Caroline quickly fell in love with riding fast in the boat.

Baby Aubrey's first time on a boat.  She liked it too.

Sunset skiing

The big girls all enjoyed jumping off of the dock.

Worn out!

The game room was packed with old games.  Bert had a blast with the Star Wars pin ball machine.

So much for a restful weekend.  These girls partied hard!!

Catching Up

So I've gotten a little behind, so I decided to do a quick phone dump of my pictures.

Caroline started dance.  We went with the Hill girls to an open house so they could meet their teachers before we started practice.  It was so fun.  The girls were able to see the company dancers perform as well.  

Bert's dad passed away in early August.  I can't imagine losing a parent.  Bert was heart broken, but handled it with so much grace.  He also experienced so much love from family and friends.  It was definitely a blessing amidst this heartache.

I was so grateful to be able to promise my girls they would see their Grandad again.  He was  a Christian man who loved Jesus. What a blessing!

I went to my first Matilda Jane show and bought way too much for me and the girls.  I let the girls pick out their own outfits, and they did a great job (too good actually, which is why i spent too much).  

Friday Night Lights

Friends who are more like Family

Bert and I went to Chastain for a concert.  Fun, much needed date night!

Since Reese and Caroline have dance on the same night (even though it's a different class) we decided to have a standing dinner date with the Hills every Tuesday night.
