HOTTY TODDY--ITS COLLEGE GAME DAY!!!!!

 Jim and MaryAnn came out to watch Carson play a few football games and sadly they were both rained out.  So we decided to head down South to Oxford, my favorite little Southern Charm!  We had no idea but we happened to visit on ESPN's College Gameday.  It couldn't have worked out better. Jim and Dave were in heaven with football and cute sorority girls haha!  We had so much fun and hope they enjoyed their southern football experience.  It's always nice to have visitors....just hopefully next time they get to watch Carson play a little ball.

 CHS FOOTBALL 2014 SEASON

GO DRAGONS AND #21

 This is our life in the fall....nothing else.  We love Collierville football.  Carson was now playing with the big boys....high school football is a whole other game. He always holds his own and proves he has heart and a passion for the game.

 CHS FRESHMAN

 Playing for a Cure-Breast Cancer awareness

 These boys went undefeated.  What a great season and team to watch.  They have so much talent and it showed!

 These are my people!  I spend almost every night at the field with these guys.  They are my football family.  I love being part of the CHS booster club!

 Carson did so well that he was asked to play Varsity at the end of the season.  He only got in for one play but just being asked as a freshman and being able to dress and stand with the big boys on a Friday night was all he needed!

 Super fans!!!  Been watching games with this crew for almost 8 years now.  (Fowlkes and Johnsons)

Love that these boys always thank their Heavenly Father on and off the field.  Carson is truly blessed and has been such a great example of what he believes in and always strives to do what's right on and off the field. So proud of him!

CALIFORNIA COUSIN STYLE

 2 DAYS AT DISNEY, 1 DAY AT THE BEACH, 1 DAY OF HOLLYWOOD AND 4 DAYS OF COUSINS ONLY IN CALIFORNIA......PRICELESS!!!!!

WHEN WE DO THESE FUN COUSIN TRIPS WE GO GO GO.....AND I LOVE IT.  WE TAKE IN THE SITES, FOOD AND LOTS OF TALK TIME.  I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE THESE GIRLS.  THEY ALL MAKE ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON.  KELSEY, GINGER, EMILY AND ALYSON-I HAD A BLAST!!! LOVE YOU ALL

THE WARNICK'S TAKE ON MEMPHIS!!

To say we had a blast would be an understatement.  It was so much fun to have family in town to celebrate only the best in the South....family, food and football. We took in Ole Miss, an airshow, Carson's football game, a little Memphis BBQ and lots of laughs.  The kids have so much fun together....They might not see them often, but their cousins are everything to them, just like mine are to me.  We're so blessed to have the Warnick's.  P.S. There was never a shortage of "fart" jokes and laughter.  Love ya'll!

EVAN TURNS 4!!!!!!

 A big Happy Birthday to this little character of ours.  He is quite the entertainer. He is the funniest, smartest most talented little guy.  He never ceases to amaze me with his passion to learn and create.  We love our little caboose!  

Evan has a passion for construction cones right now.  It all started when he was introduced to the movie "Cars".  So he was so excited when he saw his birthday cake and got to share with his buddies at his bowling party.  

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR THIS GUY

AND BOY IS HE READY!!!!! (OR MOM MAYBE)

Evan is so smart and I'm not just saying that because he's mine but he really is a very smart little boy.  Preschool is so good for him.  It gives him a chance to challenge himself and learn new things.  He's my quirky little guy and I'm so proud of his growth thus far.

BACK TO SCHOOL HAIRCUT

The pictures speak for themselves haha!!!

DELTA FAIR

It was as hot as it could possibly be but the girls had a great time.  We were excited to have AnnaGrace Brietenberg and Rebecca Schweitzer join us. Both friends of Ryleigh's from dance.

 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL-AUGUST 2014

The summer fun has come to an end.  We made some great memories but Mom is ready for some routine back in our lives.  Carson is headed off to the big High School, Cara 5th grade and Ryleigh 4th Grade.  Cara will have Mrs. McCallie and Ryleigh was lucky enough to get the new male teacher, Mr. Asbury.  Here's to a great school year!

UTAH SUMMER VACATION-JULY 2014

Ryleigh took us (and his dog Ellie) on a hike up to a water hole.  My girls were heaven.  Not a whole lot of hiking in Memphis.

My Mom was able to get us tickets to go see the Mormon Tabernacle choir summer concert.  So fun to be able to take my girls to temple square for such great entertainment. One of their favorite parts was sitting on the exact bench that Dave purposed to me on.  Pretty cool memory for them.

Cousin time is the best time......We took a trip down to City Creek and Temple Square.  I love being a tourist in my own home town. 

Grandma Shauna took the kids to Cowabunga waterpark.  It was a hot day (no humidity though yay) but the kids didn't mind.  All they need is a little water and eachother.

We were so lucky to be able to spend the 24th of July weekend up at Bear Lake with all of our Hooper family.  We had a blast!!!  My mom and dad rented a cabin, we went boating and played on the beach all day.  It was so fun to be able to catch up with family that I haven't had the chance to see for a long time.  We even got to celebrate Ryleigh's 9th Birthday at the lake. 

These two........

What's a summer vacation without Lagoon!!!  Grandma and Grandpa treated these kiddos to a super fun day.  We had a little rain but not enough to damage our spirits.  And I must certainly say that these kids looked pretty darn stylish.....It's like an Under Armour ad haha!

My Utah girls.....I've been blessed with some great friends.  I love getting together with my old Bounty Cove girls and High School friends.  Nothing ever changes!

We had an amazing summer vacation.  Thanks to grandma for always treating us to the best!
