Game Day

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit

We were very blessed that Grandma and Grandpa could come out almost a week early. They kept the two little boys all week which relieved so much stress.  We were able to work, and I was able to check on Mom without worrying about the boys. I could not have asked for anything better, and I can't thank them enough.  Plus the boys LOVED getting to spend all that time with Grandma and Grandpa. They spent lots of time playing outside and eating Chick-fil-A.  We also spent a lot of time on the soccer fields.

Susie and Emma arrived Friday night. We headed up to Sky Top to pick apples along with 10,000 other people. We ate at the Smokin' Pig or Mokin Pig according to Brooks. We also spent lots of time hanging out at home and playing. The boys loved having Emma here even if Brooks did refer to her as he or him the whole time.

We all rode to the airport to take Emma and Susie. Jackson had an episode with the escalators which was quite funny. Life was so crazy when they were all her that it really feels like we didn't spend that much time together, but it was so wonderful to see them.

Hard Week

This past week has been really hard. My mom had a biopsy, and the results were not what we hoped for. She has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time (17 1/2years later). This time it is more serious. She had a MRI, and we meet with a surgeon this week to get the results and get a plan together. This. Has been really hard. I've been in this situation before, but it's so much harder this time. My mom is my best friend and the only person I trust my boys with on a daily basis. Waiting on results is so hard.  I have been praying so much that it was caught early and that she can beat it again.

Sky Top 2016

Today we headed up to Flat Rock to pick apples at Sky Top Orchards.  We got there around 10, and it was already crowded. We finally found a good tree and a wagon. Jackson climbed that apple tree like a pro. I was so proud of him. He has really turned into a risk-taker since starting kindergarten. Brooks loved running around and putting the apples in the baskets. Walker liked looking around.

We enjoyed the tractor ride. Brooks stood in line with me to get apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies.

We enjoyed lunch in Greenville before the big boys spent the afternoon with Noni. Then we enjoyed yummy lasagna.

Brent's Birthday

We celebrated Brent's birthday Wednesday night at Your Pie. The boys love that place. They love playing with the dough and the gelato.

We celebrated again on Sunday night with lasagna and cake. Walker was excited about his first lasagna. He looks so much like Jackson in his picture with his first lasagna. Poor Brooksie. I don't think he has a picture with his first lasagna.

The boys tried on some Halloween costumes after dinner. It was hilarious!

Reed's Birthday

We took a quick dat trip to Charleston along with Noni and Papa Jerry for Reed's birthday party. We left early and ate lunch at Red's in Mt. Pleasant. The weather was perfect so we ate outside. A tropical storm came through yesterday, so it really cooled things down. The boys were really good at lunch and loved watching all of the boats.

We stopped by Hollipops to look at the toys. Jackson loves Playmobil, so he loved all of their stuff there.

Downtown was busy, but we did walk down at White Point Gardens. There was lots of debris leftover from the storm. We did manage a few pictures that really captured the boys' personalities.

We had a great time at the party visiting with family. The boys had a blast playing with Brynlee and Reed. I wish they got to play with each other more.

We headed home and had to stop at a big truck stop to burp Walker. The big boys loved it. We listened to the beginning of the Clemson-Auburn game.  Walker and I dozed through the rest of the game once we got home. We were excited about our first win.
