Fall Fling

This weekend we attended the Fall Fling in Wise. Everyone had a great time, we ate fried oreos, Taylor and Peyton played the games and rode the firetruck, Aaron and I were more excited about looking at all the crafts on display. Only Aaron's motive was to find the one person that was selling movies, I did however find some cute crafts that have a new home at my house! Here are some pics of all of the happy faces, Aaron's pic made him look like he was in pain so I spared him this time.

Gator Game

Oh boy what a Saturday!! First we were getting soaked by all the rain at every turn and as you know this was the BIG GAME Saturday so rain was not good. Allen and I drove a little more than three hours to watch the Florida Gators crush the Kentucky Wildcats and they did! YAY! First the good stuff: We drove in a down pour the whole way to Lexington and about 10 minutes before the got to the football stadium the clouds disappeared and there was no rain the rest of the night. Second, parking was only 2 dollars and for all you exercise pushers I walked 1.5 miles one way to the stadium and another 1.5 on the way back. :) Lastly, this was my first college football game and I really enjoyed it, the best part was sitting with the Kentucky fans in my Florida attire and screaming the whole night, that was great!

The not so great part: My favorite football player in the whole world got hurt, not some silly pulled hamstring but a severe concussion that made him vomit on the sidelines. This is not good for a man nicknamed Superman! The worst part was I have watched him a hundred times on television and he tackles guys twice his size (that's unheard of for a quarterback for all the none football readers) and he got hurt at the one game I attended. Well here are some pics I took to for everyone to appreciate the view I had.

Toes.........

No this is not the movie premiere poster for "Where's My Hairy Toe!", it's just my new nail job to root for the Gators this weekend!! Yea, go Gators.

Words of Wisdom....

Okay you know the weight of the world must show on your face when your seven year old daughter says this, "Mom I know we are mean sometimes but we still care". This is just one of the many reasons I love her, what seven year old thinks like that?

On a lighter side her six year old brother was having his soccer picture taken and the photographer said okay now just relax and he lays his head on the ball and closes his eyes like he could just take a nap while the other 300 people waiting in line watched on in the merciless heat yesterday evening.

It's funny how the same gene pool so obviously made a distinct split in the creation of these two children.

Happy Birthday Aaron!!!!!!!!

One of my favs!!

Aaron turns 20 today!!! !

The Streak!!

This is Taylor trying to go incognito in the dryer so her dad won't find out she had a highlight put in her hair. We discussed the purple and red but luckily mom had the final say and the color is caramel and in a discreet location in the back underneath her naturally beautiful hair. You can see it when she wears a ponytail which is her style of choice. Good lord what comes next......?

Soccer Time!!!

I have important news to report, Taylor has scored her first goal in soccer!!!! She was so excited we could hear her screaming from the other end of the field! It was great Peyton ran up to her and gave her a big hug and Allen yelled so much that he lost his voice. Peyton was also a hero by doing his claim to fame "goalie" role. He kept several balls out of the goal which wasn't easy when your team has six players and the other team has 8!! The score was 4-4, a great accomplishment for the Purple People, the kids got to pick the name for their team and the jersey's are purple. We battle on this Saturday, wish them good luck!

Sorry I don't have any recent pics Allen forgot my camera at home!
