MSU Homecoming

Saturday we woke up and headed over to Starkville bright and early for the 11am Homecoming game.  The weather was perfect for football and we had a great day!  The kids were so excited to have their cousins at the tailgate!!  I made CeCe's skirt and Winnie's jumper, they love to match!  Winnie asked me to french braid her hair like CeCe's.  She's so fun!!  

The three younger kids.  The two older boys were way too busy playing football!  

 Finally corralled them all together for some pics.  Cutest Bulldog fans I've ever seen!  

More Fall Break

Monday we moved over to my parents condo for the rest of the week.  

 Going crabbing one night!

Tuesday we celebrated Cappy's birthday!

 Wednesday Cappy and the kids and I drove to Pensacola to spend the day.  We went to the Naval Aviation Museum and spent over 3 hours there!  Bryce LOVED everything about it.  CeCe enjoyed most of it but was ready to leave at the end! 

After the museum we went to eat lunch at the Fish House, one of our favorite restaurants of all time! After lunch the kids wanted to see our old house so we drove by there before driving back to the beach.  It was fun being back in Pcola for the day! 

Thursday we went to a nature center in Gulf State Park.  CeCe loved this turtle named Homer!

After that we met our neighbors at The Track in Gulf Shores and the kids had a BLAST!

After The Track we went and had lunch at Lulu's.  Another one of my favorite places to eat!!

Friday morning we rented bikes and rode for about 8 miles on some great trails in the Gulf State Park.  I was very proud of the kids, especially CeCe!  No pictures of us riding but here are two from some fun boulders they stopped to climb.  

Friday afternoon the kids and I packed up and drove back to West Point for another MSU football game!

1st part of Fall Break

We had a fun fall break this year!  On Saturday we drove to West Point to see Kiki and Papaw Duke and go to the Mississippi State vs. Troy football game.  

After the game we tried a new to us restaurant in Starkville that all of our friends have been talking about.  It was yummy!  

Sunday the kids and I said bye to Anthony and drove to Fort Morgan beach (Gulf Shores)!  BEACH!!!!  We stayed that night with our neighbors from Germantown and had a great time.  

Monday Melanie, Liam, Luci and Mel's mom came over to spend the day with us.  Love our October catch up trips!  

Melanie made some delicious and beautiful cookies for Cappy's birthday

Lately

The 1st graders had a program a few weeks ago.  It was "A Year with Frog and Toad".  It was really cute and CeCe loves performing! 

National walk/bike to school day was a few weeks ago and we biked from our house to the school!  It took about 20 minutes and we all really enjoyed it.  We will do it some more but not every day.  We have to cross 2 busy streets and it makes me pretty nervous! 

Looking good on a Maroon Friday!

Bryce's math teacher is a big Cardinals fan.  One day Bryce, Jack and Mrs. W all had on their Cards shirts and she sent me this picture.  

DRAGONS!

Bryce is playing on a different baseball team this year and he is LOVING it!  He's always been so shy with teammates and coaches but something about the make up of this team has him coming out of his shell!!  He's had practice everyday this week getting ready for a tournament this weekend and he's been so excited about each practice.  It's fun watching him love something so much.
