Swim and S'mores

As it's the end of September, this is probably one of our last swim days. Having a heater in the pool was a great idea so we could stretch our pool days out a little longer. We invited a few friends over and did some swim and s'mores. An excellent combo! 

 There may have been dancing on the wall. With Rhett around....yeah, you can be sure there will be dancing on the wall!

 S'mores in the fire pit. 

S'mores on the face:)

Bye, bye summer! We've loved you!

Flag Football

 Both Cade and Rhett decided they wanted to play flag football this fall instead of baseball. So, every Saturday we spent a couple hours out at the field to watch. I actually like flag football as a break. It's not too serious and the kids have fun. They both ended up being on teams with their baseball team buddies. Cade's team did pretty well but they were by far the smallest team in the league. Some of those kids looked like grown men.....I mean, who has legs full of black adult hair and makings of a mustache and a five o'clock shadow in a 10-14 year old flag football league? Oh yeah. It's the 14 year olds. Woah. What? Are there really that many hormones in the chicken we've been eating? Anyway, Cade had fun. 

He ran the ball a couple times....

 made some good catches...

and called it a day. Good season.

 This was Rhett's first time to play flag and he was pumped. That's all he and his friends do at recess and half of his recess crowd was on his team. That made for a pretty stellar little team! 

His baseball bud Garet was on this team and those two....you've gotta watch them. It seems that every time they're together they end up in some kind of wrestling match or something. 

Rhett's competitive nature takes over in any sport so he was full force this whole season. 

Pulling flags....

playing a little QB....

and ending their season undefeated. 

We had a ton of fun watching this crew take everyone down. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

Family Pics With Wendy!

Bobby's sister was ever so kind to take the time out of her busy schedule to do some family photos for us. They were all great but these are some of my favorites:

This is my most favorite one of all because it cracks me up! I told the kids to act like they always do for this shot and this is what they came up with. So true, so true! 

Just an Inch Off the Bottom!

After 3 years of hair growth I thought it was time for Elaina to have a little trim. I took her to my friend Jodie's to get her first cut. She was SOOO excited! 

She was a cutie pie sitting in the big chair with the hair cutting cape on. 

Jodie went to work trimming off that bottom inch......

and voila! All cut (and not looking any different:) ) except for that perfectly straight across the bottom hair. I love her long locks and until she tells me differently she's keeping them:)
