Soccer Saturdays

We got to celebrate Grandpa’s 76th birthday last week! We are so blessed to celebrate each year with him and are so thankful for all he does for our family!


Got a hair cut!
While I was at the dentist, Eli knocked his teeth on a 1/2 wall at our school. I rushed back to school to give him cuddles until Grammy could pick him up and take him to the dentist to confirm his permanent teeth were in tact! (Linds and Boom were out of town). I am still cavity free since ‘83!
Zander’s 7th grade school picture 
He loves PawPaw’s bomber jacket! He wanted to send a picture to his social studies teacher.
Last Saturday we headed to Charlotte for a full day of soccer! We got to see the Cantrell kids for lunch and then EC and Ethyn joined us for Zander’s second game of the day!


On Sunday, we got to cheer on Maddox on the pitch! He played goalie for the first half and an offensive position for the 2nd half! They won their first game 5-1 and Maddox would want me to let you know that no goals were scored on him!:)

He got to see a friend after the game!

More Soccer Saturdays! Both boys played local on the same day…. Which meant we had a big fan club…Grammy, Grannie and the Kennedys!

Three Day Weekend

We enjoyed an extra day off from work/school responsibilities due to Labor Day. While we were productive on Saturday and Sunday with chores around the house, we headed out Monday morning for a hike with all the boys (I’m always outnumbered)! Beau was a trooper for the 1.6 mile hike. We had great weather and great views! It was a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday!

Zack and I fit in a date night last weekend, allowing the boys to stay home alone while we were gone for about 1.5 hours! The dinner was delicious and the company was even better!
I love the extra time I get with my niece and nephew each day before school. It is such an incredible blessing to spend my mornings with three of my favorite kids (including Maddox). 
Today, we headed to Huntersville for a soccer game. While Z’s team didn’t bring home a win, we had a yummy lunch/dinner complete with bottled root beer!
