September Randoms

Haircut reading.. and snacking(he did this to avoid
having to wear the mask... LOL!)

The laundry has to go for a ride when us when
we don't have a lot of time to prepare for a showing!

S and Louden killing time during C's guitar lesson

I love that C's language arts teacher appreciates
his drawings on the backs of his papers when
he gets done with a test/assignment early!

We had a dishwasher leak... sigh!

Sunsets from the back porch!

It wasn't raining when I left for the run, but it
certainly did rain after I got going! I was soaked!

C and M joined the Mays family at the lake one day!

First Nutcracker rehearsal - two of the party kids!

Clemson football is back!  Whoop!!

C decided to switch back to playing soccer this fall!  First practice
was great!

Dishwasher is fixed, now just have to fix the floor!

 

The floor sage just gets better and better...sheesh!!

We are into the Greek alphabet for hurricanes now!
It is 2020 afterall!

Beautiful sunrise!

Lake Keowee - Last of 2020

 We've spent a lot of time at the lake this year!!!  It's been good to us!  Today the kids attempted surfing for the first time.  C was able to get it and ride for a few seconds, S is still working on it, but she'll get there!  C also did some crazy wakeboarding and they both got on the tube!  

First Soccer Game

 C had his first soccer game this afternoon!  He played great and is on offense for the first time in his soccer career!  It's fun to watch him jump back into soccer and play so well and enjoy it so much!  His team got slaughtered, but he still walked away with a smile on his face:)

S's 13th Bday at Dollywood

We were able to celebrate S's 13th birthday today!  Because we are pass holders at Dollywood, we had some bring-a-friend tickets that we could use this month, so we chose to celebrate a month early - but not a soul cared!  The weather forecast threatened rain and storms for the entire day, but we didn't get a drop of water until right as we were leaving at 5pm!  And it poured!!  LOL!  We ran to the car and were soaked!  But, the forecast also kept the crowds way down so that we were able to ride the rides with essentially no wait and sometimes we just stayed on the ride and rode again!  Nice!  The kids had so so so much fun!!  They rode every ride and conquered their fears of the bigger roller coasters!  Such a special way to turn 13!!

Opened presents before we left;)

S, Anna, Louden and Halle - besties from church, new school and
old school!

C hung with the girls like a champ and everyone
got along perfectly!  Made for a great day!

Dippin'  Dots instead of birthday cake!

Gigi at the Campground

 Gigi was able to come visit us this week and the kids thoroughly enjoyed decorating the table(S) and building the fire(C)!  It's always a good escape to go to the campground!

Dove Hunting

M and C went hunting with Elliot and Daven this afternoon! Nobody went home empty-handed!  

I continue to ask why gloves are not used!?!?
