a busy weekend

early Thursday morning coffee with friends and new babies

a Phi Pi reunion

a flag football game...i didn't take any photos(this was practice)

Zoo Boo with Big D, DeeDee and Aunt Shelley

Taekwondo family picnic and a blue belt

a little soccer at the park

a date night at Sweet Grass...with the Alabama game on

and the Step It Up for Down Syndrome walk

After all of that we took baths, had cereal for dinner and watched a movie! 

"spookiness" school

I haven't posted any of our "school" work in awhile bc my boys have major camera attitude. 

Sam said he wanted to do "SPOOKINESS SCHOOL" so "spookiness school" we did!

Lichterman Date with Tanner

One of our "family goals" this year was to be more intentional or to play more intentional with our boys. For me this means planning intentional 1-1 time with Tanner. Chris has always been really good about spending separate time with each of the boys. I however always seem to have BOTH of them.

Tanner and I had a date to Lichterman Nature Center last week to see the scarecrows, take a nature walk and see the turtles. I love spending time with my sweet sweet boy. His little mind just amazes me...he's figured out how to multiple and divide and he asks me science questions that stump me daily. When we were walking around looking at the scarecrows, he really analyzed how they were put together and noticed the details of construction I would have never even seen.

Montgomery Bell

This past weekend we headed to Nashville for a Taekwondo tournament and to see a great friends sweet new baby boy. The tournament was actually in Dickson, Tn which is about 45 minutes from Nashville. 

1st place 

1st place green belt and 1st place blue belt from Midtown Taekwondo

Ace Diner 

This was a really great, modern little diner in the heart of Dickson, TN. The food was excellent and so was the coffee which is much needed when traveling with 2 boys.

Family rule...no phones at the dinner table. 

We stayed at the State Park, Montgomery Bell. It was beautiful. I will admit I was a little skeptical when Chris did not take my downtown Nashville advice and booked a house here instead but it was amazing. Honestly I highly recommend it for a family or a weekend trip with your husband. We stayed 2 nights and we were able to ride bikes, run and go for a hike with the boys.
