A weekend of football

Mason and the boys went to Spartanburg for a boy's weekend. I was in Kentucky (see previous post) for the weekend. They started out at the Byrnes High School football game. Larry went to the game as well. They sat near Amber (her blog http://thedaysofkatiejo.blogspot.com/) and her family, they went to high school together. Thanks for the pictures Amber!






The next day Mason, Pop and John Lawrence went to see the South Carolina Gamecocks play in Columbia. Mac stayed with Mammy for the day. Thank goodness! They had a great time; however, our team lost.








John Lawrence loves to find Cocky-always a
highlight at the games.







Notice the score-SC was winning at the time

Mason saw this shirt and could not resist-
Grateful Dead and Gamecocks together.

By the way we are not Georgia Bulldog fans!!! Don't ever wonder if we are just because we live in the state. It will never happen. We pull for who ever they are playing on Saturdays.

Kentucky

I was out of town last weekend in Kentucky for my step-mom's surprise 50th bday party. We had a great time and my dad pulled out all the stops for Diane. It was a wonderful party with catered food, open bar and their favorite musician! I even danced a couple of times!

We also got to see Bob and Carol (step-grandparents). I love them and don't get to see them often. I will post a picture later after we get them back. Gregory had a professional photographer friend take some pictures of us all. It was great because it has been years since we had any taken. Thanks Gregory!!

Another treat was hanging out with Allison and Gregory. It has been such a long time since the three of us spent time together without kids and such...

It was a fabulous weekend!
Thanks Mason for keeping the boys....

Here comes trouble

The boys have a blast on this plasma car. Santa Claus brought it to John Lawrence last year and Mac absolutely loves it!!!!

Mac has come into our room at 3-4-and-5:00 am in the morning a few times when he first moved to his big boy bed on this thing! You could just hear wheels rolling onto the floor.

First Day of 4 yr old Preschool 2008

John Lawrence started his first day of 4 year old preschool at Celebration Academy on Tuesday. This is his second year here. He goes to school Monday- Thursday from 9-1 pm. He loves it! He had a great first week of school!

Dressing Up

I watched Walker and Henry overnight last week and the boys lived in these outfits the entire time! They were too cute!

Camping Out

Here are some pictures of the "camping trip" in the backyard. Mason asked JL if he wanted to camp out in the afternoon and all day we heard how tired JL was and how he needed to go to bed in the tent. I guess you can say he loved it. Mac and I stayed in the house, but we did go out and join them for some of the action.

We have grass in the yard and then some natural
area in the way back, so that is where
the tent was pitched.





JL loved the fire!!!!

Mac was a wild man in the tent. He litterally threw
himself against the sides.

Atlanta Falcons Training Camp

We went to the Atlanta Falcons Training Camp about 1-2 weeks ago. It was the first time we had been and it was very cool. The boys loved seeing the players; however, JL was wondering why they weren't tackling really hard. I tried to explain it was practice and not a real game. They saved that for other players not the guys on their own team.

Mac, on the other hand was CRAZY... He was literally trying to walk onto the field or if not walk on the field he was thowing his little white football on the field mind you in the middle of (as JL would call it a fake football game). The photographers from the local newspapers were helping me get him and his ball off the field. It was at this point I decided we had to go home.

Every year they allow a few practices to be open to the public, but I don' t think this is what they had in mind. Good thing we sat in the bleachers for the first hour and went down to the side lines the last fifteen minutes.

We will try to go again next year!

Suwanee Fountain

We went to the Fountain with the Pangles last week and the boys had a ball. It was so hot and this was the perfect day for cooling off.

Neighborhood Pool Party

Pictures from our Neighborhood Pool Party. We had a great time! We stayed until the end and both boys even did the Limbo...
