Josh's 30th Birthday!

My wonderful, fabulous, awesome, incredible hubby turned 30 on Sept 11th! He didn't want to do anything big......well..........because if you know Josh, he's pretty low-key! Me, one the otherhand, not so much! I decided to surprise him with a bday party at Carolina Wings. I think he was VERY surprised and enjoyed the party even though he was against it! :) Thanks to EVERYONE who showed up to support my sweet hubby! We both are so blessed with great friends. You guys are wonderful! (I didn't do a good job of taking pictures so forgive me!)

First Day of School & First Soccer Practice

Today Price started his first day of 3 year old Preschool. He did great! He woke up and asked if he was going to see "Miss. Ta-wa" and "Miss. Wiz" (his preschool teachers from last year) and I reminded him about his new teachers, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Dunlap, this year. He actually got to go to his class and meet them yesterday. He went in with no reservations and had a good day. Hopefully the good days will continue....

He also had his first soccer practice today. He is playing for SOAR and is on the Koala's!! It is his first time playing an organized sport and I have been so excited about this!! I'm officially a "Soccer Mom"!! :) I really like this team because they do a devotional at every practice and really emphasize sportsmanship. His first game is Sept 12th but I don't even think they really keep score at the games. Josh isn't going to like that part, but I'm sure it's better for all the 3 year olds to end the game as winners! :)
He did terrific at his first practice. He learned to dribble and stop the ball pretty good. We just have to work on his pushing the other kids out of the way.....

Roomie Reunion!

This weekend Steph and I went to Greenville to stay with Suzanne. Steph, Suz and I were college roomies and it was so nice catching up with them and spending quilty time together. Since we have each gotten married and have busy schedules, it's very hard to find time to get together and catch up. As times change, your friends seem to change but it's amazing how close we have remained since college. It seems as though no time has passed when we get together. I think that there are few things in life more important than great friends and I am so very blessed to have these girls in my life!!

While I was in Greenville I also got to have lunch on Sunday with 2 of our very special couple friends; Maria & John (& Porter, too!) and Frankie & Steve! They used to be in our Sunday School class but both moved to Greenville so it was wondeful to meet them for lunch! It brought a great ending to my fabulous weekend. Thanks guys!! (I have no clue why we didn't take a photo opp. but hopefully next time! :))

Halloween Help

I'm trying to figure out what to dress the boys up for Halloween. I want them to coordinate so I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of cute costumes I want to get. Here are some ideas I've thought of:

P-Cowboy, O - Horse
P - Police Officer, O- Prisoner
P&O - Baseball Players
P- UPS Man, O- Mail Man
P-Pirate, O- Parrot

Please let me know what your favorite is or offer up some good ideas that I can use!!
I will totally appreciate your help!!

Most of you would probably just tell me to ask Price what he wants to be........but then he'd say something that I don't want to do, like "Lightening McQueen" or "Thomas the Train" and then he'd get mad when I said no! I'm just mean like that!!

Back to Reality

We just returned home from our last Summer Vacation of the year. We spent the first part of the week in Surfside with my family and then headed on over to Edisto to be with Josh's family. We had a great time. Owen still doesn't care too much for the Beach but Price LOVED it! He's a total Beach Babe! We even got to go to our cousin, Benton's, birthday party at Wild Water and Wheels. Price had an absolute blast....except for the one little time we waited in a super long line for a super long time and got to the top for them to say he was an inch away from being able to ride down the slide! You can imagine the fit he pitched and the walk back DOWN all the stairs. It wasn't pleasant. Other than that, no major melt-downs.
Owen got a little fever (okay, a high fever: 104.4) while we were in Edisto. We took him to the doctor there and she pretty much said to wait it out which seemed to work okay. Luckily he didn't act like he was too sick and we got to enjoy our week without anyone else getting sick. I love that Price & Owen have such a large family and so many cousins to play with. It made for a great week with our wonderful family! I'm already looking forward to next year.

Good Bye Beaches!! See you again next year!!

Price is 3!!

Can you belive my sweet baby boy is 3 years old. He had a great bday party at the birthday barn. This year he understood that it was HIS birthday and wanted everyone to sing "Happy Birthday" to him. He loved opening presents and kept telling me how much fun he had at his birthday party "yesterday". (Anything that has past is yesterday to him!) I'm so glad he enjoyed it. I love seeing him get excited!! It was a great day and the weather held out just for him!

My little boy is growing up so fast!!
