Catch Up

Emma Grace had her first cross country meet a week or so ago.  It was in Birmingham on a Saturday morning.  The team had to leave Opelika at 5am...yikes!  We followed her down there with the other kids to cheer her on.

 Here is the entire team.  The middle school and high school teams are combined into one.  They have a really good group of kids who all cheer each other on.  They practice 5 days a week for about 2 hours after school.  Dedication!

EG competed with all the other "middle school girls" (probably about 175) in a 2 mile race.  She did great!  It was a true cross country course with some hills, woods, and even a creek crossing.  It was also hot and steamy that morning!  Here she is on the home stretch.  Yeah!

This is the high school boys "start"....it is so much fun...talk about get your adrenaline pumping!!  And...yeah...the guy in the front....yeah he is on our team...and he won easily.  Oh yeah!

She has her next meet in 2 weeks.  We love it!  Here were 2 of the best fans!

Here is Caroline shaking her cow bell.  You go girl!

Too funny.

To celebrate Brett's 37th birthday....(August 30th) we had our best friend's over for Brett's favorite meal.  Ribs and tortellini...strange combo I know, but that is what the birthday boy wanted.   It was delish.  Then we had Leanne's key lime cupcakes.  Perfect.

Here are some random pics that we have taken over the past few weeks.

This past friday we met out the King's and Bobby Cannon for some fun pizza.  Here were the kids burning off some energy while we waited for a table.  Silly.

One morning I woke up to take the dogs outside to use the potty and I realized Sadie was wearing some "jewels".  It looks like she was playing with the girls the night before.  Hilarious!  She is such a good sport.

Before tailgating at her first Auburn game this year.  Isn't her Auburn football dress too precious?!?
