Pep Rally

 With another home game this weekend, there was a Pep Rally scheduled on the square.  We decided to take the boys and see what they thought!  I probably haven't been to a pep rally since high school, and this was a little different!  Much more fun that I remember....  They boys had a blast!  I'm not sure if I've ever seen H this happy where there is not a bounce house involved. 

 

 The pep rally was at the courthouse on the square.  There were a lot of students, families, and Ole Miss supporters. 

 C loves his hats!  He wanted to bring a bicycle helmet, but we settled on a different hat.  Somehow he ended up with Daddy's hat on.  He didn't quite get high enough to see the band but seemed to enjoy the music.

 H had a tight grip on Daddy's hair!  Oxford knows how to support their team!  The double decker buses were out in support.

 Go Rebs! 

Watching the cheerleaders in the background.

 Us and Colonel Reb.

C wasn't too sure about him!

 We met up with our friends and neighbors (Baby Lee and his parents) and then headed over for a bite to eat.

The boys all kept us entertained at Irie's.  I'm sure Nathan's colleagues weren't expecting the under 4 crowd to join them tonight, but they were good sports and actually seemed to enjoy making the boys laugh.  But, nobody was too sad when we had to leave for bedtimes!  

Maybe we'll make it out to the Grove again on Saturday.  

Go Rebels!

Let's go for a ride!

 "Aye, aye, aye, aye!"

(Come on guys, let's go for a ride!)

 Let's go this way!  Let's go zoom!

 With his helmet on backwards, one of the ties was tickling his lip.  He didn't seem to mind, though!

 We only went down the block, but probably stopped about 10 times to check out rocks, sticks, leaves, flowers and seeds!  It's okay though, we weren't really going for any destination.

He doesn't like it if you buckle the helmet on, he just likes to hold it on his head.  He looks very serious, but I know he was having a good time!  I also know he'll be happy when he can ride his own bike!

 

Watch me ride!

Precious Angels

 They don't look like they'd ever do anything wrong...

Do they?

At the Grove

 Today was a home game at Ole Miss so we headed over to the Grove (Oxford's version of tailgating) for a little bit of fun!

 

 H "helped" arrange all the chairs together "so we can all sit next to each other!"

 

 C had his eye on the food! 
This boys loves food!

 H didn't move too far from the bbq chips - we don't have these much (ever) at home, so he was pretty happy to munch on them!

 C was also pretty happy to drink some juice straight from the juice box!  Special treats today!

 A little makeshift art studio

 Riding in Henry's wagon. 

 Hey, you!

 C, trying to pull H in the wagon...

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

We had a fun morning!  C and I came home for a little nap and then will head back over to get Daddy and brother from the Grove.  Good day!

 

My Morning Helper/entertainer

C and I keep each other company on mornings when H is in school.  This morning when I was getting ready for the day, C was in the bathroom with me 'blowing' his nose and putting the tiny scraps in the toilet.  I'd noticed we were going through toilet paper a little faster lately....  This is the hat that C likes to wear around the house.  

(Sorry for the sideways video - I took it on my iPod!)

Really?

 I was cleaning out the memory card for my camera today....

 

 It's hard to imagine that this little one:

really looked like this:

not very long ago!

I can't even imagine where we will be in another year!

Maybe the years last swim?

 We've been gone or too busy, or it's been too rainy the last few weekends to get the pool out, so we really wanted to this weekend, and then I think we will probably dry out the pool and store it until next summer!

The boys really enjoyed having it back out!  They both even figured out how to use their floaties to create pretty big waves in the pool.

 H:  "Cheese!"  C: "Eeeee!"

 This little guy is looking a little more mature these days.  He has also become quite the charmer!

 Swimming break!  

H was walking the "balance beam" and C was trying desparately hard to climb up too!

 Back in the water!  It was a little too cool for me today.  H was going round and round and round and round....

C was really enjoying laying back and dipping his head in the water.  We were worried he would tip over, but he never did.  Just enjoying the sun and the water!
