October 2022

 It's my favorite time of the year (besides Christmas)!!! Bring on all the pumpkins, leaves, and Halloween! I am so excited to decorate and enjoy the Fall traditions! :) 

These cuties... we stopped by the park afterschool today at school and just enjoyed slowing down and being in the moment. Look at those faces... my absolute world!!! I love them so much and I hope they know that every single day. 

One of the big things I do every year for work is Homecoming. I am so grateful that my little family joins in to help me and support me during this crazy week of the school year. We also have a little fun during it too.... 

The kids love the PowderPuff Football Game...

And Joyner and I love the Homecoming Dance! 

A lot of times we are all about Blake's sports and his things. This month we all got to enjoy one of Kinsley's Daycare Carnival events. I am so happy to see my family taking the time to support each other in all of our different things. 

We had our family pictures done this month. I am IN LOVE with how they turned out. Sometimes I wonder how lucky I am to get this beautiful little family of mine. 

My favorite Fall tradition is going to pick pumpkins! This year was fun because it was the first year that Kinsley was able to really have fun with us. Blake loved showing her all the fun at Hillridge Farms! I went there as a kid, and now I get to see my kids enjoy it! 

Look at this little "Boo Thing" 

Blake had his "Day of Awesomeness" at school and I got to volunteer! It was so much fun to see the kids running around and having a blast with all the inflatables. 

This year I think is my FAVORITE trick-or-treat costume selection! We went with the theme of 101 Dalmatians! This might be the last year I can convince everyone to dress up in a common theme, so we went all out! 

September 2022

 Ok, I think we have all officially recovered from the RSV sickness stuff that we got in August. Man, that was brutal. Now we can resume our adventures. 

Joyner and I were lucky enough to get a "date day" to an ECU football game. We had so much fun and Joyner loved being back at his old stomping grounds. 

The weather has been perfect so we also went to one of our favorite family spots - Pullen Park! Our favorite thing is the carousel. 

Blake has started his fall sports again and Kinsley is super excited about being back at the fields! She loves cheering on her big brother! Speaking of sports, we have loved going to WF Football games as a family to cheer on the Cougars! 

Blake and Kinsley continue to be absolutely adorable together. They melt my heart all the time and I am SO blessed as a mother to have children with such a special bond. I hope they will always be close together! 

Finally we ended the month with an amazing beach trip. My dad got a condo for all of us for the long weekend. We were able to enjoy the beachfront property, the pool, and most of all - Memommy! This year we have gone to the mountains AND the beach with my 95 year old grandmother and that has been a lifetime opportunity that I am so grateful for. Memories that I am so glad that I have! Kinsley loved the beach by the way - it is in her blood! We were able to use our beach tent and we look forward to more of these trips as a family in the future!
