september

Oh September! It was a good month. We started our month off with our annual Labor day Apple picking. We bought way too many apples but ended up eating almost all of them.

Back in May I sold our kitchen table. I had no idea that it would take me 4 months to find the perfect table! It was pretty embarrassing  having people over to our house for dinner and only having a card table to eat on. But it was worth the wait, we love the table and chairs!

We took advantage of "Act Like a Pirate Day" Krispy Kreme gave a dozen doughnuts to anyone who dressed up like a pirate. Crazy right? the kids loved it!

I turned 30!!! Drew went above and beyond to make my birthday perfect. He had the kids pick out cards and my favorite candy. Then the kids hid them around the house and gave me clues to where the treats were hidden. I woke up to notes all around the house. 30 memories of me that make him smile and 30 things he loves about me. and if that wasn't enough he got me 30 presents. they ranged from my favorite trashy magazine, to perfume to, gift cards, to my favorite candies. The whole thing was extremely thoughtful! Since my birthday was on saturday we had soccer games. but after that we went on a long date. SEriousy one of my best birthdays ever.

Annie adores Mac. But I don't blame  her. He is so patient with her, so kind and gentle. When she's sad, happy, needs anything, or just woken up she asked "Where's MAcky?" and Mac loves it. 

Uncle Pete came out and interviewed at UK Medical school. It was fun to show Pete around our  Kentucky home. We just found out they got into UK and we hope they end up living here! But if not we really enjoyed our weekend with him!

Almost every night in September was spent either watching Mac play coach pitch or Gray play T-ball. It was crazy but both boys loved it and learned a ton.

 I am so behind on this old blog! It's a combination of my phone not letting me post blogs from it and getting a new computer. Anyway, It's catch up time! Back in August Jed was doing a rotation in Ohio and came to visit on his weekend off. We loved having him! we went and played baseball his first night here. On Friday we took him out to Windy Corner for some southern food, bluegrass music and some site seeing. Saturday we had a day on the lake. Laurel Lake was beautiful and the kids were in HEAVEN! Such a fun day.

Random happenings...

Off to church 

Waiting for the boys to get off the bus 

Annie is a crazy shopper. She runs around grabbing anything in her sight. She is a true nightmare for any store employee. 

Family bike ride 

Annie's first day of joy school which I taught! We had a blast- it's going to be a great year! 

Big girl bed for Annie! She's been sleeping through the night ever since she got the bed. 

Boosterthon run. Mac thought it was so rude that everyone littered so he cleaned it all up himself. 

Visiting Kelsey at the hospital! Doesn't she look great- 2 days after open heart surgery. 

Back to school!!!

Gray meeting up with his kindergarten teacher. Mrs. William's husband works with drew and they are friends of ours so we were really excited to find out that Sarai was his teacher.

First day of school...

Annie could not wait for the boys to get home from school!

The boys have loved school. The first day went smooth, Mac ran in and made himself at home while gray put on a brave face and seemed happy. The second day drew dropped the boys off at the wrong door. The car drop ladies tried to direct gray to the right door but it kind of threw him through a loop and all he wanted was drew. So he ran out to the parking lot. Well, the ladies all started yelling " stop!! Come back!" Which freaked him out even more. He started bawling, drew got out of the car and tried to calm him down. He ended up walking gray to his classroom but poor gray sat out in the hallway just crying. He ended up going in the room and his teacher tried to comfort him. About 30 minutes later we got an email from mrs, Williams saying gray was doing fine. It was a traumatic experience for both g and drew.
