August 2022

 August...the longest most jam packed month of the year (except maybe May)!

Everyone is off to a great start in their brand new schools.  They have all made some friends and are enjoying their teachers and new routines.

Hudson is in middle school now - big 6th Grader!


Sullivan is in her last year of Elementary School - big 5th Grader!


Thomas is settling into Elementary school now with real grades and real tests and quizzes - big 2nd Grader!


And the Twins are in their LAST year of PreK!  They are really loving their new school!




August also means we are in full sports mode.

Hudson is LOVING middle school volleyball and has learned a lot and improved so much!  She is also well into her travel soccer season .  This year she is playing ECNL RL and State League so she will be traveling all over - Memphis, Columbus OH, Cleveland OH, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, etc!  It is going to be a busy tough season but so far her team is really starting to find their groove.



Sullivan is well into her soccer season as well.  Her team is playing up an age group and in State League for the first time.  So far they are playing well and we are excited to see how this season goes as we added a few really talented players to the team!  Our one roadtrip so far this year took us to Knoxville for the day, so of course we had to stop at Buc-cees!


Thomas is back out on the baseball field.  He had to move up an age group to 8U which means a bigger field and bigger opponents but so far he is loving it!  


The twins are pulling double duty and playing both Baseball AND TSC Pre-Academy soccer!  So far so good for both!  


Hasil is still living her best life.  Going for runs, chasing bunnies and snoozing on every piece of furniture she can find!


Other than sports and school, we were able to squeeze in a day at the Williamson County Fair!  Of course it wouldn't be a fun plan without someone getting sick, so Conner and Tom stayed home while Conner had the stomach bug all day!  The rest of us spent way too many hours in the heat riding sketchy rides and eating all the fair food!  Tinsley is an adrenaline junkie and did every ride she was tall enough for!  No fear in that one!







That is about all for now.

September brings us weekly baseball games, the end of Volleyball and several soccer trips (Columbus OH, Cincinnati, Memphis, and Cleveland).

Here are pictures from the rest if our August Adventures:

July 2022

 We crammed in as much as we could in July and finished out our summer strong!

It all started with two weeks at the Lake for lots of Cousin fun!


We did all the things..tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, paddle-boarding, kneeboarding, swimming, top jumping, and even snuck in some zip-lining and horseback riding!















We enjoyed some time at the Rodeo and ran the Ramble Ramble!


We made it home just in time for Overnight soccer camp at Lipscomb.



Played in one more 3v3 Tourney and battled to a tough second place finish in the 2010/2011 bracket!



The big three then headed off for a week at Camp Widjiwagan!  They all loved it so much and can't wait to go back next summer!




With all our summer activities finally over, that left us a week or so to get fully back into the swing of soccer season and back to school prep!

Both girls started soccer again and Hudson made the Middle School volleyball team!



August brings us the start of a new school year at a new school, soccer for Hudson, Sullivan, Tinsley and Conner, volleyball for Hudson and baseball for Thomas, Conner and Tinsley!

Never a dull moment!!

Here are the rest of the pictures from our fun filled July:

June 2022

 

A little late posting but June flew by and we rolled right into July - which is almost halfway over!!!

June started off with a bang with Sullivan turning TEN years old!  Two whole hands!  She celebrated with some friends with an Escape Room (which they escaped from...with a little help), swim time and sleepover at the new house!




Thomas got to play in an All-Star double header against some Franklin All-Stars to wrap up his baseball season.


We rolled right into volleyball camp and basketball camp.

Sullivan played and won a 3v3 Tournament against 2010 and 2011 girls.



We enjoyed our first ever NSC game thanks to my very giving boss for letting us use his amazing tickets!  We were on the second row, basically sitting on the bench with the opponent!



And then we headed off to the lake for an extended July 4th visit!

Summer is flying by for sure!
