I "Heart" Fall!

Even though it felt more like summer today rather than Fall, I felt a simple post about Fall would sum up the last 50 or so pictures on my camera card. I love Fall. It is my favorite season for many reasons. Before yesterday I longed for College Football season, but the way Clemson's season is now going, I may retract that one. I still love my Tigers, they just need to get it together once and for all. I love the smells of fall and the cooler temps as well. Along with that comes pumpkins, apples, and more! This is our first Fall to have the kids play soccer. Anderson is playing in the U6 league and LOVES it. He is really improving too! He's being more aggressive and is starting to figure the game out. Grayson is playing in the U4 league and isn't so in love with it! He gets out there and runs a little, but isn't really into it. He's still a little young though, but at least it's exercise. So now, I'm officially a "Soccer Mom"... Especially on those Saturday's Brandon has school all day and I get to do Soccer all by myself! Here's a few shots from my soccer boys.

We took Aubree to the Clemson/Miami Game and she did ok despite the game was right during nap time. She climbed the bleachers a lot and probably drove everyone around us crazy, but she had a blast. She loved the "oons".. Balloons as we would call them.

We took the gang to Boo Blast at Carowinds last Sunday and rode some kiddie rides too. Here's my attempt at capturing the Snyder and Holby's all looking at the camera..

Everyone got a baby pumpkin to bring home.

On Thursday while the boys were in school, I took Aubree to Windy Hill Apple Orchard to pick some apples, go on a hayride and have some homemade apple cider. I took Anderson here when I was 8 months pregnant with Grayson and I just have the sweetest memories of that day. I never got the chance to take Grayson by himself, but maybe one day. I'm going with him on his field trip Tuesday to the pumpkin patch so that will be our little one on one time.

Aubree loved the pumpkins!

The Girls were not loving the Hay

And of course, I had to make her an appropriate outfit for the occasion! I do have a slight problem! :) The first step is admitting the problem right?

Anderson's Birthday Party

We celebrated Anderson turning six at Mattie and Pappy's this year the Saturday after his birthday. We had a small little swimming/wipeout party for him after soccer games that morning. Anderon loves the show Wipeout so that was what kind of cake he requested this year. The pool was a little chilly, but the kids didn't mind too much.

Look who's Six!

Love this picture

Since my brother and I have birthdays one day apart in the summer as well as swimming parties, we shared many of birthday cakes on this picnic table. It brought back some old memories.

Just a Few Random Pictures...Mostly Aubree's Birthday

Well, I thought before another birthday party happened up on me this weekend I better get some pictures on here from Aubree's party and big day. Blogging has been put on the back burner lately with everything that goes on in our house. I'm pretty overwhelmed.... two kids in school, four trips to and from school for drop offs, a big kid (Brandon) in Business School two nights a week and one Saturday a month, two kids in soccer, one house to clean, five people's laundry and dishes to do, teeth to brush, diapers to change (come on Aubree...), mouths to feed and water... I could go on.... And I just completed a pretty big feat of selling things in a consignment sale. I sold almost all of the 251 pieces I put in the Upscale Weesale and was pretty happy about that. Consignment sales are a lot of work, but if you do well it's worth it... So, now that it's over maybe I can catch up a little with blogging..

I've been sewing too except I broke my machine so I'm on hold with it right now! Here's one outfit that I have made for her for the fall. Cute owl shirt with ruffle pants.

We took Anderson to Clemson for the first game: Here's a few shots of my cutie pie!

And alas... our playset is up in our new backyard. It's been hibernating in my Grandma's garage for a year.
