Go Big Orange!



Today was the home opener for our beloved Tennessee Vols.  It was the first sell out for TN in 7 years!  Our friends from NC came over to attend the game with us. 

 We started tailgaiting around noon



 Duane and our redneck oven - we cooked the potatoes on the engine of the van!

Lost Another One

Right after his soccer game, Cooper pulled his tooth.  This is his 5th lost tooth.  He's hoping the tooth fairy finds him at Gigi and Bubba's house!

his cute new smile...pretty soon, he's going to be on a liquid diet!

Soccer Saturday

It's soccer time in Tennessee!  Today was the first game of the season for Cooper and friends.  This session, Cooper is on the Lightning team.  Although they didn't win, Cooper did score two goals!

 he loves this game

Football and Swimming Friday

It's Friday, so that means it's time to break out the orange to support our favorite team.

the kids looked so cute in their orange

 Tonight, instead of having our regular Bible study group, we decided to have an end of summer/back to school pool party.  The kids swam until almost 10pm and the adults could have talked all night!

 We had the pool all to ourselves
