Capital One Bowl!!

What a nice surprise!!!! Gamecocks made it to the Capital One Bowl. This bowl was in Orlando. We had a blast. Orlando is one of our families favorite places to go. We love Disney so much. Just writing this makes me want to go back. We ended up going to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. We were at the parks on New Years Eve the busiest time of year. Did I mention we are Disney experts? We were able to navigate through the parks and ride every ride. It was one of the best New Years ever. Until next time......

Christmas Time!!



So here is the yearly Christmas photo. Mimi brings the Santa hats and we all take one photo with the hats. This was the first year Bryson joined in on the festivities. I always laugh when I look back at the photo. I have several years of these to compare. this is my favorite time of the year. Family times. There is nothing better. Until next time....

The Carolina Corn Maze!!



This was our first corn maze. It was awesome. To get through the corn maze you had to answer baseball USC trivia. We went with our good friends, the Watts. Susie and I kept calling our husbands because we were lost in the field. We had to get the correct answers to get out. It took us several hours and a lot of snacks with the kids but we made it. I would highly suggest this as a family activity. The kids kept leaving a trail of corn so we would know which way we came from. You would be amazed how many times we went in circles. Once we got out we sat down in the family store and ate boiled peanuts and ice cream. There is just nothing better.....

Picking out the Pumpkins!!



It has been a while so I thought I should catch up on my posts. We went to our usual place to pick out pumpkins this year. Here are the kiddos. I wish I would have taken a picture of our pumpkins. Alex chose out the biggest pumpkin we have ever had. I could not even pick it up. It turned out awesome. Hannah on the other hand decided she wanted a small pumpkin this year. We had a blast carving them as usual. Pumpkin seeds are a must at my house. We even sent some to school for their classes to try. I love traditions. Until next time.......

First Day of School!!!



The kids are officially both enrolled in Lake Carolina Elementary. What a great feeling! I can't believe my little boy started Kindergarten. He is really loving school. I can't believe how fast they grow. Hannah is in 2nd grade and loves her teacher. She is fortunate to have a few friends in class this year and is thriving in her classroom. We are so happy with Lake Carolina and the kids look forward to going daily. That is a great feeling. We are also fortunate to have one of our dear friends pick the kids up from school everyday. They get to walk home with the Watts boys. I love them having the opportunity to be walkers this year. This is what I remember about my childhood. Until next time....

Disney Again!!!

This was a very unique experience at Disney. I had a work meeting and last minute decided to ask Mandy to come and bring her kids. We ended up going to Disney for two days. We had a blast. This was their first time going. We are officially Disney experts. I loved watching the kids faces as they experienced everything for the first time. I was a little nervous because Buzzy is always with me but we managed. We had a blast and rode each ride 2 and 3 times. Again the favorites were Splash Mountain and Thunder Railroad. I love this picture overlooking the castle. What a great experience and again memories that will last a lifetime......

July 4th!!!!



This year we were in Litchfield until July 3rd. We had a wonderful experience with several military people. They were getting ready for the the July 4th fly by. The jets fly right over Litchfield. What a need experience and a beautiful flag. We had the opportunity to thank them for what they do on a daily basis for our country. I love this picture. Beautiful....
