Posing with Monster truck

Can it be more Redneck than this??

Hayden at monster truck show

Hayden had a busy weekend. He went to Nascar racing on Saturday and monster truck show on Sunday. He was one tired boy Sunday night. Every boys' favorite monster truck has got to be the "Grave digger"

Gooo Dawgs!

UGA Homecoming

This past weekend was Homecoming at UGA so of course we had to head to Athens as we do every year. Emmie stayed at home with babysitter Alan, so Beverly, Hayden and I went to enjoy some football and catching up with old swimmers.

I have to say I only managed to have one drink at the tailgate, must be some kind of record, and I actually followed the football game, also some kind of record! We had fun and broke the bank at the book store. It was great!

Fripp fest 5K

Every fall they have a Fripp fest with a 5K running race. Gary ran this race two years ago when I was pregnant with Emmie, so I figured I had to carry on the tradition this year. There were more than 80 people participating this year so it has grown. And I have to brag that I actually won for the women and was third overall. Although one woman at the store asked me after she heard I won, if I ran or walked...hmm!

Emmie finally wanted to come down and say Hi to the buck as well. He is very nice!

Our pets at Fripp

We spent the weekend at Fripp and had a mixture of rain and sunshine. Fripp is filled with deer that are very tame. Although you are not supposed to feed them or the alligator, it's fun for the kids to do (not the alligators but the deer). This buck is always around our house, and when we first bought the house it used to sleep in the little dug out in front of our house. So now the buck is called Gary!

Emmie's first ponytail

Emmie finally has long enough hair that I managed to pull it up in a pony tail. The creation lasted until the pictures were taken. But she is cute!

The cheer leaders did a great job cheering on the team!

3 touchdowns!

Hayden is ready to get that football. In the beginning he was just standing there, waiting for the ball to land in his hands, until I asked if his feet were glued to the ground (competitive mother, yes). The he figured out how to steal the flags and run with the football, and he actually scored 3 touchdowns!

Hayden's first football game

Emmie is cheering on her brother during flag football. One gets very thirsty from all the cheering!

Lost my voice

I've lost my voice, it's gone since last night due to a nasty cold. Headache, sore throat and no voice, fun fun. I just hope the kids won't get sick. They've both have had coughs and runny noses for a week, but hopefully it won't get worse.
On Friday I'm having some girls over for cosmos and Sex and the City...so I better feel better or if nothing else the alcohol will kill the bacteria in my throat!
