The Grove...What An Experience!

A few weeks ago we ventured down south for the Ole Miss vs Texas football game.  I had been educated prior to leaving as to what a unique tailgating atmosphere I was about to experience.  An experience it was...sea of tents and people covered The Grove.  We were joined by Sarah and Brant and some great friends...a fun time was had by all!

The Square

Oxford is such a quaint little town.  We enjoyed dinner at a little pizza place on Friday night and then were able to shop a little on Saturday.

The Grove

These boots were NOT made for walking! After a hike to The Grove, Sarah started a new trend...carry your boots instead of wear them (don't fret...she had my extra sandals on)!

Texas Exes tailgate!

 It was a whirlwind of a trip with a 3 hour drive + 9am flight after an 8pm game the night before (momma's not cut out for that anymore). 

Oh, and we won!! Hook 'Em!

Bubble Party!

We celebrated Finley and Zane's 3rd birthday with a bubble bash!  It was a gorgeous morning and were able to enjoy it with friends and family!

Thanks to all our friends for coming to party with us! It was a bubble blast!

First day of pre-school--2012

The first day of school this year was better than expected! Zane shed only a few tears as I walked out but I know those didn't last long at all.  Both were happy as can be when I picked them up later that day.  They are already talking about their new friends and teachers...it is so cute to listen to them sharing their daily experiences!

Meet the Teacher--2012

We moved over to our Church preschool this year and were anxious to meet our teachers at our new school! They wer so nice and are looking forward to a great year!

Last days of summer!

We squeezed in some summer fun during the last days of summer...some pool time and splash pad fun! Until next year!!!

On this particular morning, this is what I got from Zane! He wanted to go on the playground first and was not happy!

It didn't last long...there's my happy boy!!!!

Grammy was able to join us for one of out last swims of the summer!

Grammy and her grandkids +1!!! Our friend, Charlie wanted in on the fun too!

Meeting an Olympian!

We were a little start struck at the pool the other day when former Longhorn/Olympian Brendan Hansen walked by in his speedo! Some of the tennis coaches encouraged us to go say hi...so we did...and I brought along my trusty camera, of course! 

He could not have been nicer! 

Hook 'Em and Go USA!
