Our Fun Filled Fall Weekend!

Wow! It’s hard to believe this weekend is already over!!

We had a lot going on but it was so much fun!

Saturday morning Maddox had a t-ball game!  His team is currently undefeated.  He plays his last game tomorrow night…so we are crossing our fingers for a win…the team we are playing is a tough one!

Ryder has taken a liking to the hot dogs at the ball park….so he got one for breakfast!

IMG_2372

When our teams score is up…the coach switches out the infield players with the outfield players.  Maddox gets to play pitcher!  He is really catching on this season.  We are so proud of him!   He did get a player out on 2nd base!

IMG_2376

This has been such a fun team!  The coaches took them out to McDonalds after the game to celebrate their season!

We played the Braves.  Maddox and his buddy Zayne!

Kaeden, Maddox, Dayton, Ryder and Zayne…..I got so tickled that the boys posed like this….this was all their doings…not mine!! lol!

McDonald’s with the team!!

After McD’s…..we rushed home…changed clothes and was off to Elynd’s Birthday Party!

IMG_2405

It  was on a farm!!!

And miss E had a Strawberry Shortcake theme!  She is seriously the cutest!!

IMG_2408

Since I had the honors of carrying Elynd around to see all the animals…Donna carried Ryder!  Checking out the rabbits!

Ryder’s expression in this photo cracks me up….can you tell he wanted nothing to do with feeding the horse!!

Maddox LOVED feeding all the animals!

Ryder petting the chicken

We finally talked Elynd into a little petting!

IMG_2436

I’m pretty sure that if Elynd doesn’t marry one of my boys….they will be her best friend and bodyguards for life!!

IMG_2444

I’ll take you for a ride on my big green tractor!!!

IMG_2450

We can go slow or make it go faster!!

Maddox got to ride a horse!!  Can you see the nervousness in his face!

IMG_2469

Off he goes!

IMG_2471IMG_2473

Ryder was my riding partner!

IMG_2480IMG_2496IMG_2499

Such a FUN birthday party once again by my precious friend Keleigh.  Keleigh is one of my dearest friends!!  I am so blessed that God  placed her and her family in my life!

The decorations were adorable also…my phone went dead after the horse ride so I didn’t get any pics of it!

Saturday night we relaxed and watched an AMAZING Gamecock game!!  Wheww…it was a miracle and Chris and I were SO HAPPY about it!!!!

Sunday we took the boys to Carowinds one last time for the season.  Today was the last day they are open for 2013.

Maddox wanted in the “car”.  I told him that was one car he did not want in!

IMG_2510

I love going to Carowinds in October when everything is decorated for Scarowinds and Fall!

IMG_2513IMG_2522

The kids section had lots of fun Fall activities added for the little ones!

IMG_2528

What a good sport Daddy was on all the rides!  He could barely fit into some of them but he did it anyway!

IMG_2534IMG_2536IMG_2547

I love that Maddox now recognizes great places for a photo opp!  He said,  “hey Mommy, take a picture of me over here on the hay”  and thankfully Ryder doesn’t want to miss out on whatever Maddox is doing so he followed right along.  Now if we could just get Ryder to look at the camera…..I’m even OK if he doesn’t smile….I just want to see his face……that’s not to much to ask…..right?  We will get there!!

IMG_2549

Me and Maddox on the roller coaster…..Maddox actually seemed a little nervous about it.  He snuggled into me going up the hill….but was all smiles and laughing like crazy once we went down!

IMG_2554

Silly boy!

LUCY!!

The straw maze!

We never play games at Carowinds but Maddox was dying to throw a football.  So we had 3 tries to get it in one of the holes….Maddox threw the first two and came really close to getting it in….impressively.  Chris threw the last one and won this Gamecocks football!!  So of course he had to play again and win another one….you can’t have 2 boys and only 1 football….not a good combination!!

IMG_2576IMG_2579

We decided to pay the extra money to see the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit.  We should have saved our money!  lol!

IMG_2581IMG_2582

This was their favorite part of the exhibit….digging for fossils!

It was such a blessed day and weekend.  Being with my family, outside on a gorgeous Fall day, having fun……it just doesn’t get any better!  Thank You God!!

Mothers Day Weekend 2013

Friday night we went to watch Tori’s Ball game!! The Eurey’s were there so we got to catch up with them!   Elan is 3 months older than Maddox!!  Wow…what a size difference!!photo119

Saturday morning Maddox had a ballgame.  I posted a few pics on the last post of him playing but I took some more and they are too cute not to post more!

It looks like Maddox started out the game needing to pee.

He is one CUTE tee ball player!!

Sunday we went to early service so that we would have plenty of time to go put flowers on Brenda’s grave.  It was a tough day for Chris…and for me, being at Brenda and Geralds house for the first time since the funeral…really hit me hard.  It has all seemed surreal and I think being at their house it sank in that they are no longer with us.  I miss them.  I know Chris just hurts everyday for them.  My heart hurts for him.  I told him we could skip celebrating Mothers Day this year but being the awesome husband he is…he still made it very special for me….including cooking me a yummy breakfast!!

A very blessed weekend.  I am so thankful that God made me a Mother and so thankful he gave me such an amazing Mom and Mawmaw. I also am rejoicing my  MIL is walking streets of gold and thankful that we will be with her again one day.
