Davis and the Tigers

We all went to Greenville for the weekend. Davis and Dad went to a Clemson football game--his birthday present for us. Davis was thrilled to have a day one on one with his Dad. Maggie, Brooks, and Mom had some girl time (sorry Brooks) with Aunt Kiki and had a ball too!


Davis and Dad ready to cheer on the Tigers


We went to tailgate with Aunt Elle and Uncle Kent


That's me with the tail!


In the stadium

Mags making salad with Aunt Kiki
We played at the park, painted our nails, went to the toy store, and had a lunch date. Dad and Davis just had the camera! :)

Davis's Birthday!

It's official! Davis is 4! It's hard to believe. He is doing so many things independently these days and such a great helper. He had a camping birthday party and we all had a blast!

Even though we were doing s'mores, Mom wanted to do a little campfire cake.


Our family ready for friends to arrive

My cousin Avery giving me my present early so I could wear it to my party. It was a cool vest!

We had a bug hunt and the kids were super cute! We are still finding bugs everywhere! :)

Aunt Elle wrote everyone's names on the bug catchers as they arrived. She did a great job!
Enjoying a little hotdog dinner with my friends

The kids got to eat out of aluminum pans

Loving everyone singing to me!

Brooks slept through most of the party

Blowing out my candles, then ready for s'mores!

Chuck had fun playing with his cousin Reedy, Aunt Elle and Uncle Kent's new puppy.

It was fun having Aunt Elle and Uncle Kent with us all weekend. They were a huge help!

Celebrating my birthday at school. I have been really into pirate stuff, so mom made gold coin cupcakes on pirate plates for me to share with my friends in my class.

Who's Who

It's crazy how much Brooks favors Davis when he was a baby. Dressing him in Davis's clothes makes it even more obvious! In person they look so similar. It's tough to capture the expressions on camera.
Here are a few comparisons...

Davis, 3 weeks

Brooks, 3 weeks

Cousins to visit

We were excited to introduce Brooks to Uncle Andy, Aunt Kristen, Alexis and Claire. They came to visit from KY.

Alexis was such a natural holding Brooks

Uncle Andy enjoying having a turn

Aunt Kristen checking me out

Claire and Maggie were such cute little mommies playing together. We somehow didn't get a pict of Claire with Brooks. Sorry!

Halloween Fun

Throughout the month of October, we read Halloween books, created Halloween snacks, made Halloween crafts, and worked on Halloween costumes, so we were all ready for Halloween to finally be here!
Davis loved pulling the guts out of the pumpkin

Maggie wanted Dad to help her with her guts :)

Fall Farm Fun



Loving the cow train

Checking out the piglets before their race


Shooting corn husks



Catapulting gourds

This is a fun adventure!

Going through a corn maze...kind of

This slide felt like a rollercoaster to D.

Maggie loved it too.

Maggie loved petting the chicks "like Uncle Mark has"
