A couple of years ago, Kimberly and I found this neat little gift shop and pizza place near the family reunion. We love there pizza so after the reunion was over we stopped by for some pizza and some extra time together before heading in opposite directions. Aunt Jan (my mom's sister) was able to join us this year!
Mom and the kids headed to Hilltop Lakes for the day to attend the Lott Family Reunion. We had a wonderful time! We were able to spend the day with family- remembering the past, talking about the present and looking to the future. It was so nice to be able to visit with family that we don't see very often. I love going to the reunion, but I have to admit that I always leave with a sad feeling in my heart. The day makes me miss Puh even more!
While at the reunion we celebrated Megan's 5th birthday with family. Aunt Kimmie made Megan a special Cinderella Birthday cake. She loved it! As always, Megan was spoiled rotten
We attended the anuual Fall Festival at my school tonight. As always, the kids had a blast. Megan loved the bounce houses and Dylan took great pleasure in dunking his teacher in the Dunk Booth.
I took the kids to Picture People tonight to have their annual Halloween pictures. I am getting scared that I won't have many times left where they are willing to "match" each other for mom. We had a fun evening and they took so many wonderful pictures. I could have spent a fortune!! As they were taking the pictures I watched the kids and wondered where the time has gone. It doesn't seem like that long ago that Ashley was a little pea-pod for her 1st Halloween. WOW!
Megan had another soccer game today and was she on fire. We were walking to the soccer fields this afternoon (after her bowling party)and she was saying that she was going to score 5 goals today. I was trying to tell her that she just needs to play her best and that 5 goals was a lot to score in one game. She listened the entire time and then told me she knows, but she was still going to score 5 goals. I laughed!! Once again, I had to eat my words - the child scored 5 goals!! Grandpa was even there to see it!!
