October Birthday Celebrations!!

The weekend of fall break, we went to Clarksdale to celebrate all of our October birthdays with cousins. Kendall's birthday is 10/10, Annalyce's is 10/12, and Cash's is 10/15. We all got together and cooked spaghetti and celebrated with birthday cake! It's always crazy but so much fun when we get the whole family together!

Pumpkin Patch Farms!

The kids had fall break on Friday and Monday, and Kathryn's class was going to the Pumpkin Patch in Blue Springs that day, so we made a family trip out of it! It was fun and luckily the weather was nice and the kids had a blast! The kids loved the animals, but Kathryn was scared to feed them, even though she wanted to so bad! They loved picking out their pumpkins in the patch, even though poor Kathryn fell down numerous times! They loved going down the slides and jumping on the big trampoline. It was a fun day and a great way to spend fall break!

16th Anniversary with Bruno Mars!

So Chet and I celebrated our 16th Anniversary on September 15! We celebrated by heading off to Memphis to see Bruno Mars in concert! It was an impromptu date and thankfully Mimi came to stay with the kids so we could spend the afternoon on Beale St before the concert! We ate some good Memphis BBQ on Beale, and then headed off to shake our booties to the awesome moves and sounds of Bruno and company! The concert was amazing. The only problem was that we had seats on the VERY TOP ROW of the FedEx Forum. We still had a great time, though!

I made Chet his own mirror card!

On our way!!!

Beale Street Fun!

We ran into lots of folks we know at the concert, including Summer!

Here we are on the top row...heads against the wall of the top of the forum!

Bruno was fantastic

Go Rebels!

We got to head over to Oxford to cheer the Rebels on to a victory on their opening game of the season! We had a great time, even though we only lasted 1.5 quarters at the game! We enjoyed a little time on the square with the Kahlstorfs before heading over to the Grove. We caught up with Aunt Scott and Uncle Billy before we went to the game. The kids had fun and the weather was perfect! We are so thankful that Mrs Andrea was sweet enough to let us have their tickets!

Here Kitty Kitty!

Well, so I finally caved in and got the kids a pet. They've been dying for a dog and I felt like that was too much responsibility for them and I would be the one taking care of it all the time. BUT... I felt like a cat would be much easier to take care of for them. A friend of mine had a stray kitten that she couldn't keep so I surprised them with a kitten. They were so excited!! They named him Milo, and so far, they've done real well in being responsible. We are letting him stay inside for now, but I've told them that he can't live inside all the time.
