Pennsylvania trip

John, Jimmy, Emily, and I headed up to Pennsylvania one weekend for the Penn St./Al football game and to visit Parker. I had never been to Pennsylvania and was looking forward to it. It was a fun trip! The kids stayed with my parents in Nashville and they even brought them back to us Sunday night. Emily riding Parker's bike in his house:)

Parker lived in Williamsport(he has since moved to Ohio) where the little league world series is played. Alex now has three shirts and a sweatshirt and Avery has a tshirt too, all from the LL World Series.

The mascot, I believe, of the World Series.

Wegmans-if you have never been here and are ever close to one you have to go. It is an unbelievable grocery store. I love Publix but this place is way better than Publix!

Heading in to the stadium...

Little did we know at the time that this would be Paterno's last season.

With the Liberty Bell.

This was a cool place we saw the first night we were out in Philadelphia...it was so long ago, but I think it was City Hall.

We met mom and dad in Birmingham on thursday to give them the kids before we headed to the airport.

We got home about 1am Monday morning due to flight delays because of rain. Alex went to school that Monday and we picked him up early for lunch. Many people have asked me about Dad. He has gone ziplining if that is any indication to his progress:). He is also done with rehab and is out running in the neighborhood again, with his ID bracelet on.

Eating cupcakes at Gigi's.

Playing baseball with Alex.

David and Kristy's birthday!

In September we celebrated Kristy and David's birthday at Mimi's house. As always, my kids loved helping them open their gifts!

Alex and Daniel.

Happy Birthday David and Kristy-we love you!

Braves Game with the Butlers

Back in the beginning of September, we went to Atlanta for a night to take the kids to a Braves game. They were both so excited to stay in a hotel and sleep with us! Avery fell asleep right as we pulled in the parking lot and when we told her we were at the hotel she said, "oh yeah!" Hanging out in the hotel room.

Luke and Avery.

Everybody loves Mickey Mouse!

Beau pitching to Alex.

We watched more of the game than I thought we would with Luke and Avery, but then it was time to go play. Alex loved hitting in the cage. I don't think he hit a ball but he sure swung hard.

He also got to see how fast his pitches were.

Avery wanted to see how fast her pitches were too.

Avery was cheering for the boys yelling, "Go Braves!" with her pink foam finger.

Beau and Alex.

Sweet Luke!

The kids were so excited they were going to get the run bases.

Avery took off for the green grass in the infield first, but she somehow got back on track:).

With their certificate and "I ran the bases at Turner field" shirts!

Avery wouldn't stop talking about the CFA cow.

A sleepy girl after a long day...

August Fun Days!

Alex found this costume in his closet. He wore it for Halloween when he was two-he is now 4. I told him he couldn't fit into it, that Avery could barely get into it, but he was determined!


Alex's new friend from school, Giles. They love playing at the fountains together and eating snacks.


Alex wanted to invite Ryder, a boy from church, to swim with us and Jack Glyien. It turned into a big party-we had Greyson and Clayton join us too! They all loved eating ice cream!


Star gazing in Kindermusik. We are now taking it with a friend of mine and it is right in our neighborhood. Avery's friend, Henley, goes too and her new friend, Paul Phillip.

I made this for Alex's lunch one day (when I was feeling creative)-Mater sandwich!



Doing a puzzle with Abbie. They were racing each other.

Jack and Stella's visit

My kids always love when we go eat Taco Casa with Mrs. Tina. This time she brought Jack AND Stella. We had fun playing at the park and then went to eat dinner. The boys had fun playing and Avery got to hang out with Stella a little bit. Come back and visit us again soon Heberts!
