Game Day

Saturday started out with our usual Saturday morning soccer game.

It was a good game and the team we played gave us some good competition! This was the "official" last game. Next week we'll have the jamboree finale with trophies and a few short games back to back. We love our little team and our coach is the best!


We had a little team party afterwards at the park with pizza and cupcakes.

We LOVE the new park (Doty Park).


Then, it was on to another game....GAMECOCKS and GATORS!


Gooooooooo COCKS!!!

Ge Ge and Pa Pa had a little get together for the big game.

Unfortunately, we do have Gator fans in our family.



Poor little Haven, she doesn't know better.

But Tiffany does!!!


The rest of us are GAMECOCK fans....
so we had fun picking on those Peckham's!



Pa Pa and his cheerleaders!
We may not have won, but it was a GOOD game, and pretty close for most of the game!

Halloween

My two sweet hearts look adorable for Halloween...



Cowgirl Princess




Dale Earnhart Jr.

This family LOVES Halloween. We have a tradition of cooking chili for the family and trick or treating. I love that all the cousins are so close in age. They are going to have so much fun growing up together and making memories together. Brinlee really "got it" this year. She knew she was getting candy, and as scary as she is, she didn't get scared once! She only walked to the first couple houses, then opted for the wagon ride.



Brayton went as Dale Earnhardt Jr...his new hero and obsession. He wanted to ride his bike, but after he kept throwing it down we made him put it up....I was afraid someone would trip over it! It was hard to walk with Brinlee and the "babies" and keep up with him. He wanted to be with his friends, and they were RUNNING from house to house. So...I am sad to say, he left us! Frank went with Brayton and his friends while I stayed behind with the gang.

Look how cute! Triplets as the "Little Einsteins".


After Trick or Treating we came back home for some partying! We bobbed for apples and jammed out to "Monster Mash". We had a great time and the kids were exhausted!!

And we still have waaaaaay too much candy in this house!

Oh, and did I mention we didn't want that Michael Jackson costume to go to waste??
HA! HA! I think Brayton made a better MJ. Someone told Frank he looked more like one of the 3 Stoogies! HA! HA!

Who's BAD?!

Oh yes, he did!


He did go bustin' in to Knightsville Elementary School just like this!!

As I mentioned before, it was Red Ribbon spirit week at school last week. Thursday was "A Drug Free Life Rocks". Dress as your favorite rock star. I bought the whole MJ kit thinking that he would only want the glove. Boy was I wrong! My son is just like his momma...it's all or nothing with him :-)!! I have to admit, Frank and I were both a little nervous about him getting picked on....but he was excited and ready to strut his stuff!!!! Come to find out, he was the hit of the school. He said his teacher took him for a walk to show him to everyone...wish I could have been a fly on the wall, ha! ha! I can only imagine him 10 years from now in high school!! That child is a character, and I love every ounce of him :-)


Cousin Kylee chose to dress as Taylor Swift. She was too cute about it. She said she only had to wake up and get dressed because she already had the same kind of hair as Taylor. :-) When we picked them up after school I couldn't help but crack up. There was Brayton standing decked out in Michael Jackson and Kylee looked sooooooo embarrassed standing next to him. She is so serious, it's funny!


And while Brayton was having his MJ debut, Brinlee and I had some fun ourselves! Aunt Tiff had a Halloween party for all her munchkins, so we went over to crash the party! She hid candy like an egg hunt and the kids loved it! We're so happy she stays home now, we have lots of fun doing things with the kids!


My little cowgirl. She is missing her bandana and would NOT
keep that hat on....still adorable, though!



Little Bunny Fu Fu...isn't this the CUTEST?!?
Cousin Haven



I can't believe and I didn't get a single picture of me and Brinlee together. I was too worried about getting a good one of her...that always happens! Oh well, I was dressed as a witch...I'll get around to posting pictures from Halloween night soon!
