Under/Over

A fun school week with me in the dunking booth at my school's Big Bash Thursday night and Kinsey jumping verticals Friday night in her lesson.

It's a W!

Finally got a win today for the Bulldogs. We had a fun time with Kelli and Judd eating, drinking, and talking horses and football.

Don't Stop Believing!!!

Had an AWESOME night celebrating Jack and my dad's birthday at the Journey and Foreigner concert Friday night!

All in a day's work

What a busy school year it has been so far. Today was a peak in craziness as my students presented their Biome Fashion Show projects and after school I traveled with my cross country team about 30 minutes away to a 400+ runner meet where my boys team took home first place! Is it the weekend yet?

My two favorite costumes for the Savanna Grassland biome group


Me not very excited to hold a snake, which was part of the Deciduous Forest biome


One of my students cleverly convinced the Chick Fil A cow to come be a part of our fashion show!


Way to go boys! Beat all the other teams by over 50 points!

Fall Ball

We decided against another season of soccer this year and instead, Max showed an interest in baseball. So, Max is now a Volcano and is playing Coach's Pitch and loving it. Jack texted me from practice tonight that Max had hit a home run. Of course, I was shocked and asked for the details of the miracle and Jack replied "Don't be too impressed, it was only a 24" hit, it's just that no one got to it before Max ran all the bases!" Too cute!

It's Saturday in Athens

So it's the weekend that we have been looking forward to for almost 9 months--the first home game of the Georgia football season! To add to the fun, it was Kinsey's last home horse show of the season as well and Nanny, Papadad, and Granny all came south for a little fall fun.

The weather was beautiful with a hint of cool autumn in the air. After a fun dinner and dessert outing Friday night, we rushed around Saturday morning getting Kinsey all geared up for her show. She had a great day, scoring Reserve Champ yet again in her Pre-Beginner class as well as raking in a 1st and 2nd in Jr. Beginner (which would have been enough points for at least Reserve in that class, had she been eligible.) She's really coming along in her jumping, but unfortunately, she won't get to jump in any shows this year so she can hopefully end up finishing the year in 1st place of her Pre-Beginner class (you can't canter or jump in a show and still be considered a "pre-beginner").






After her show, Jack and I had some fun adult time and a marvelous tailgate RIGHT next to the stadium and in the middle of the Dawg Walk. We had such fun with our pals and enjoying the beautiful weather and yummy food. Too bad the Dawgs had to blow the game at the end, but otherwise it was awesome!

Labor Day Getaway

A quick little road trip to Charleston for the holiday weekend was filled with pool time, seafood, Blackbeard's Cove and The Children's Museum. Thanks Nanny, Papadad, and Granny!
