Learning Football

Last Saturday we turned on the Alabama vs Ole Miss football game and if we could have recorded the last 7 minutes we would have in a heart beat.  A few quotes from the last few minutes...

Owen-
Owen yelling back to Katie, giving her updates about the football game. "KATIE, they just got a home run!"

Seriously talking to Justin, "Daddy, don't you think that is really nice for that guy to hold the ball (for the extra kick :) while the other man kicks?

Owen looking afraid and amazed, "Daddy, if we were on the first row could we jump the fence and run onto the field???"

Katie-
Laughing hysterically as people rush the field after Ole Miss won, "Daddy, what are they doing? They are trying to jump and push down the poles!"

Fall Break Fun

Racing cars, forts, Pinterest boards about apples.  Loving our two weeks off from school!

kids, food, camera

My helper

Love the time I get with this handsome little man while Katie is at her classes. His choice? Energy bites and organizing my baking supplies in the order of correct size.

Todays Experiments

To make her own bread...and his own bottle creation that needs shaken a lot! :)

School

Determination

Its raining kiddos and yet you insist on a picnic.  It'll be fun you say! Pack our salads and toast and please can we eat on the front porch? Finally, I say sure and off you both go.  We are so happy you enjoy fun adventures like picnics in the rain. And that you enjoy it together!

Saturday Morning Hair

Field trip. Marbles Museum

Basically Katie and Owen we stayed in the Ideaworks area and you both created away!  Lego's, sawing/screws, fashion and race cars...and we also squeezed in some Workout Zone.  We'll be back!

New bakery fun

Trying Boulted Bread...conclusion-We love it! Pastries and bread are both winners.  And if you are in the area go buy and try a Bialy....such a good pastry like bagel.  :) It is such fun finding great local spots! 

Our Adventure to The Outer Banks

Whew...I have been behind in chronicling this adventure which happened in July.  It seems when I take a lot of photos I don't post because they overwhelm me.  I want to add them all!  So this time I am going to post a lot of them.  I like them all.  :)

We had the best time in Manteo NC.  It was simply fantastic.  We went to the beach everyday, shopped and toured around Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Duck, Coralla and Manteo.  We explored the Wright Brothers Memorial and also ran up and down Jockey's Ridge.  We read and found bookstores, we talked at home and at coffee shops, we took naps, we laughed...we had a wonderful time.  I'm not sure why we haven't ever been to the Outer Banks, but rest assured kiddos we will go back!

These are Owen's beach friends.  They had a blast.  It's amazing kiddos that you all found friends  by the weeks end.  These boys were the owners of the big shovels and dump trucks. We basically had spots for three of our days next to a couple from PA, VA and then Raleigh. We are thankful you all are able to befriend others in such a short time!
