Happy birthday Henry! 9 years old!

Happy birthday Henry!  For some reason, Henry slept on the couch in our bedroom the night before his birthday.  I laid awake half the night worried he wasn't resting, he said it was the best night of sleep he'd had in a while.  He's enjoying his favorite snack "Pirate's Booty" just before school.  Stay back TigerLilly! Henry's not gonna share this stuff!

We had a great birthday dinner with MeMa and Papa and John Daddy and DeeDee at Yoshi's, Henry wanted sushi for his birthday!
Sweet Dan and singing and playing Happy Birthday to Henry despite a broken thumb. 
Henry is so happy to get some money for his birthday and a lifeproof case for his ipod.  Now he can video underwater!
It was cowboy day at Golden Corner Preschool.
Nate spent Saturday morning carving his very first jack-o-lantern.  He did it all by himself!  He did an awesome job!
He's awesome with a pocketknife!
It was not dark enough outside, so Bennett and Nate enjoyed the jack-o-lantern in the pantry!
Sweet Campbell had her birthday party at the tailgate!
8pm kickoff meant Bryan cooks his famous Low Country Boil at the tailgate.  It's so fun to hear people walking by whispering "wow! that's how you tailgate!"
Nate and Wright were helping cook.  and I mean really helping!
Sandy and Bobby brought crab legs for the stew (Sarah's favorite!)
Soups on!
It's always fun to have Brooke at the game.  Betty was having a girls weekend in Greenville so she got to hang with us.  Kids had a blast playing 4 square with her!
Free Soup People!  Of course, the kids ended up making their own gross concoction.  They couldn't give it away, but they sure got some attention from passerbys
Glow sticks!
Such fun! I'm already excited to celebrate Elizabeth's 40th birthday, she's the last of the group to hit the big 4-0!

Greenville zoo

Nate and Henry are quite jealous that Luke had another field trip with Mrs Becky's class to the Greenville zoo Tuesday! Luke wanted Bryan to go this time. 
It was a beautiful day and they had a great time!
Tuesday was our 14th wedding anniversary. I surprised Bryan was a massage at simplicity spa and salon. He said it was the best massage he's ever had..,,and he's had lots!
Happy fall!

40 ain't nothing but a number!

It's been a good birthday! The only thing that could've made it better is if this little turkey would stay healthy and fever free!
He's been fine since Friday but started running a fever again this afternoon. 
Had an awesome running club today!
This is the 3-5grade group. Hot and humid but this 5th grader may just earn the first 26.2 charm next week!
Thank you Bryan for picking up birthday dinner from Wendy's!
We'd planned on going out but when you have a sick child, plans change and you do what's best for your baby. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Meanwhile.......

Bryan and my girlfriends were planning a surprise birthday party for me! 
And believe me...I was very surprised! 
Such a fun night! 
I am blessed with some wonderful friends!
And a super sweet husband! 

It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown train ride

John daddy and DeeDee bravely took on the task if taking all 6 grand kids to ride the great smokey mountain railroad Saturday! 
They drove my luxury minivan so all 8 would fit.
It was a hit with all the kids!
Luke has been sick with the croup all week but he felt great and was fever free for the trip!
I'm glad I didn't witness this stunt!!!
Thank you John daddy and DeeDee! I know you had your hands full!
Making memories they will treasure forever!

What a nice day!

Luke had a cough so he stayed home from school this morning. We laid in bed and read one of his favorite books "Shark vs Train" just before lunch, I found this beautiful origami owl necklace my friend Robin sent me! It has a "B" charm, all the boys birthstones and a red heart! I love it! And I love you Robin!
Then, my sweet friend Stephanie took me out for a birthday lunch at Circa and pedicures at Soluna!
It was so relaxing! I even forgot about all the 5th grade homework we had to do tonight! Thanks Stephanie!
After school, DeeDee and John Daddy had a fall party for all 6 grand kids! Here is Silas and Luke playing "fishing."
Everybody loves vampire teeth!
Trailer ride! Thanks John Daddy!
Decorating pumpkins
Roasting marshmallows redneck style! On coat hangers! 
Doing math and spelling with sidewalk chalk! What a nice day!
