Mini Mud Run

Caleb and Tyler, along with a few friends and neighbors participated in the YMCA Mini Mud Run this weekend! They've been doing some practicing running around the neighborhood, but this race added some obstacles along the way. They both seemed to have fun, especially running with their friends. They also got to enjoy some yummy cupcakes afterwards to celebrate!


The crew ready to run!

Caleb's friend Lilly that he's known since they were born recently moved back to Virginia and I think they took more time catching up than running! :)

Atlanta

This weekend we set out on our big adventure to Atlanta. While we were there we got to ride the MARTA train, attend a Braves baseball game, visit the Legoland Discovery center, swim at the hotel and we finished out our fun weekend with a yummy lunch at The Varsity. Caleb and Tyler had gone to Atlanta last summer for a Braves game and were looking forward to going again. This was the first Braves game for Garett, Sophie and cousin Lily and they all had so much fun! We had awesome seats on the second row down the first base line. It was a bit intense at some points when it came to foul balls, but we all escaped without a bump in sight, and all three boys ended up getting a ball from the game each to take home! We got to enjoy some yummy treats at the game and of course got to enjoy a Braves win! Since we attended the Friday night game, we also got to enjoy some fireworks after the game was over. While we waited for the fireworks they were showing people dancing on the jumbo tron, and Sophie and Lily got up on there dancing away! They had both been dancing away during the whole game it was so funny. All of the kids were so into the chants and songs, and especially the tomahawk chop-- so cute! It was a late night, but it was so much fun! All the kiddos slept in on Saturday since it was such a late night, but luckily got up before they stopped serving breakfast at the hotel! Once we got up and moving, we went to the MARTA station again to catch our train to our special surprise. All three of the boys absolutely LOVE legos, and Sophie loves her princess duplos, so Mommy knew they would love the Legoland Discovery center. It was a very cool place with a few rides, huge play place, places to build legos, a HUGE display of the fun attractions in Altanta, and of course a store. ;) We spent a lot of time going through every inch of the legoland, and then once the kiddos were satisfied that we had done everything we could, we headed on out to the store for the kids to pick out a treat. They were so excited to pick out a new lego to take home from their trip! Saturday evening we hung out around the hotel and we got to swim. This is one of our favorite activities anytime we stay in a hotel, so we got very excited! We all slept well again Saturday night and got up on Sunday ready to head home. We had one more stop to make before we headed out of town. We went to The Varsity for a yummy lunch. It never disappoints and we left with happy tummies for our drive back to Nana & Paca's. We had a wonderful trip to Atlanta, and hope to do it again next summer!! It will be even better if we can take Daddy along for our fun-- that would've made it even better!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Tyler man is officially 6 years old! The kiddos were on the tail end of an adventure in North Carolina and heading to meet Mommy in Atlanta for a special birthday weekend on the day of his birthday. Tyler got to celebrate a little early with Grandma and Grandpa and a trip to the lake. He then got to have another celebration with dinner, presents & cake at Nana and Paca's. On Friday, Tyler's actual birthday, the monkeys piled into the car with Nana, Paca & Aunt Katie and ventured down to Atlanta to meet up with Mommy, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Richard and cousin Lily for a special weekend!


Happy birthday Tyler James!!

Summertime!

The monkeys have had some great adventures this summer! The boys got to venture down to North Carolina for another visit with Grandma and Grandpa. Sophie stayed behind with Mommy to help her get ready for their big trip to Atlanta. The boys got to go to the lake to celebrate Tyler's birthday and had a great weekend away! On Monday, Mommy and Sophie headed down to pick up the boys and head to Nana and Paca's house. They had a great couple of days visiting and celebrating Tyler's birthday again with a yummy spaghetti dinner and cake. On Wednesday, Mommy left on her big adventure. She was heading down to Atlanta early for the 31 conference, and we were heading down later to meet up with her. We got to ride to Raleigh with Aunt Katie to drop Mommy at the airport and see all of the airplanes. We got to have a couple of more fun days at Nana and Paca's and spent Thursday getting ready for our trip!
