The kids dress up as Indians or Pilgrims and feast on muffins, applesauce and popcorn! It's so cute and such a fun experience for them. <br />

A few months ago Handley came home with information about the Science Fair at their school! Each 5th grader was required to come up with an idea for their project and they could select to work with partners or alone. Because of our busy schedule I encouraged her to work alone just because I knew trying to coordinate with a friend to get together as much as it would require would be tough. We searched online, brainstormed and tossed around a few different ideas for her project, but she ultimately decided to test several different insulated cups and water bottles to see which kept ice water coldest the longest. </div>

We love cups and water bottles in our house and it is always running joke that the last thing we need is more cups. However, it's something we all use everyday, so sometimes a new one is just fun! </div>

She was very specific and exact with her experiment, counting out ice cubes and putting the same amount of water in each cup and using a digital food/drink thermometer to measure the temperature of the water every few hours. </div>

Her hypothesis was correct and the Swell was the clear winner for this experiment! She tested it on three different occasions and Swell was the winner each time. After 24 hours there was still ice left in the cup and the water was only 0.5 degrees warmer over the course of 24 hours. It's probably my favorite insulated water bottle so I was happy to know it was the winner also because I love my water super cold! </div>

When the experiment was over it was time to create her display board and she followed in my footsteps thinking it was the most fun part of the project! She loved browsing the teacher supply store looking for borders, labels, and other fun things to add to her board. Science Fair was taking over my dining room, but she was so into it that I didn't mind. </div>

They had outside judges come to the school on Monday and judge each project. She came off the bus on Monday afternoon with the biggest smile and told me that SHE WON 1ST PLACE!!!! I couldn't believe it! Apparently the judges narrowed down to the finalist and called those students back down to talk to them again and question them about certain parts of their experiments and she returned to class. Then, at the end of the day she got called down to the office one more time. She said she thought she was in trouble or something, but really they just wanted to take her picture because she was the overall winner! </div>

On Monday evening all of the parents got to visit the school and see all of the Science Fair projects displayed. She was on cloud nine with everyone congratulating her and wanting to check out her project. She was so sweet saying, "I totally didn't think I would win because so many people were doing things like making electricity out of fruit and stuff like that." Her teacher told me she thought it as just a really original idea and that it is something really practical the judges were interested in. </div>

She's planning to try out for the middle and eventually high school cheer squads so I have a feeling there will be a lot more football games in our future!<br />

She cheered with some of these girls since 1st grade and they are all so sweet! They go to different schools, but will all be together next year in middle school! <br />

She loves cheer so much and has the best time with her teammates, cheering for the players, and engaging with the crowd. It's fun to watch her do something she loves and I secretly love that she's following in my footsteps. Some of my fondest memories of high school were cheering on Friday nights. I know she'll continue to love it more and more the older she gets and it is fun to think that these girls and the football payers will continue through middle and high school together. <span style="text-align: center;">Go Raiders! </span></div>

The kids had so much fun this year on Halloween. It was the first time we haven't all trick or treated together because Handley was invited to go with some of her friends, but we got lots of pics ahead of time with all three kiddos! <br />

Halloween falling on a school night made it tough because everyone had to get home and get to bed before it got too late, but they still had a blast and came home with more candy than we will ever be able to eat!<br />

I had a couple of people text me randomly and send me this pic of a familiar face! It was so funny that they used a 5th grade class for a 3rd grade flier, but I was happy when a copy of our own was finally sent home.<br />

The kids had early release a few weeks ago and it finally gave us a chance to have some playdates! Our afternoons are so busy with sports and practices, that it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for having friends over, but with early release we were able to. Hudson's best buddy from his class came over and they stayed outside playing every single sport you can think of the entire time! <br />

Hudson's baseball team played great throughout their tournament and although they got knocked out before the finals, he played awesome the entire time. In the first tournament game the score was tied and went into extra innings. He hit a home run to drive in 3 more runs and seal the deal for their win. He was so excited to end the game that way and get his home run that he'd been hoping for all season long! He also got the game ball that night!<br />

After the game we made our way up to the lake to get the boat for the winter and celebrated with Gigi and Papa. He couldn't stop talking about how excited he was for his big hit!<br />

The weather and the water are still so nice late September and we had the entire lake to ourselves!<br />
<br />
The kids swam, Hudson tried wake boarding for his first time ever and we just had a lot of downtime together as a family. <br />

Hudson's fall baseball season has been off to a great start and although his team has a lot of beginners on it, they have really pulled together throughout the season as a team and improved so much! They have a sweet little cheer they do before and after each game and it is has stuck for all of us. </div>

We went here a few years ago and just loved all the history. The weather was looking a little iffy and we didn't want to chance being caught out in a storm in the middle of the ocean so we waited a while until we were sure it was going to clear up.<br />
<br />
It's a long boat ride out there, but totally worth it in our opinion. The park holds Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas islands. Surrounding the islands are beautiful crystal clear waters, tons of sea life, coral reefs and even shipwrecks!<br />

The massive fort is the largest brick masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere and is made up of over 16 million bricks, which is really hard to imagine since it was built in the 1800's. It was used as a coastal fortress and later a prison and today it is part of the National Park services holding tons of history.<br />

However, then we got into a school of Mahi-Mahi and things started going crazy. We heard someone yell, "Fish on!" and then the flurry of excitement started. We actually had 4 fish on and it was crazy for a few minutes there. All the guys grabbed rods and started reeling them in. </div>

Generally the first home football game of the season the youth and jr cheerleaders are allowed to come on the field at the beginning of the game. It is so much fun for them to see the high school cheerleaders and get a feel of what it will be like cheering at a high school game. Hadley saw many of her teammates from her allstar gym and also some other cheerleaders she knows and looks up to! </div>

We survived the total eclipse! It was the talk of the town leading up to the big event and we couldn't believe all of the excitement surrounding it. Our schools were dismissing late so that the kids wouldn't be on buses and without direct adult supervision during the peak times and it worked out great because they got to enjoy it with their classes, teachers and friends! </div>

I hadn't planned very well and didn't have my own glasses (the school was providing them for the kids), but ended up getting some last minute and was so happy I did. I went to the school to watch it with the girls' classes. It was totally different than what I was expecting, but totally cool! </div>

Only 3rd - 5th grades were allowed outside during the eclipse, but all of the grades made a big deal about it. We sent in treats for the classes and the kids were encouraged to wear yellow for team sun or black for team moon. When Hudson got out of school he could still see part of the eclipse happening and he loved it also!<br />

My mom came in town to keep the kids and before we left we spent a morning hiking at our favorite trails.<br />

After a short lesson on how to properly ride a horse we headed out to the pasture and moved a heard of cattle from one part of the ranch to another. I couldn't believe we were out there! It was so much fun and I could have done it every day if we got the chance. I felt like a real cowgirl!</div>

It was so nice to get away and spend some time together and really enjoy the slower pace and simpler life on a ranch! The whole time we kept saying how much we thought the kids would enjoy it so I'm hoping to plan a dude ranch trip for our family in the next few years!<br />

Today was the first day of school and the kids were all beyond excited. I was even feeling pretty excited and anxious. SO much so that I didn't sleep very well at all. Thankfully, the adrenaline got everyone up this morning with no problems. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All weekend Hudson had been saying that he was nervous or scared about school because he didn't know anyone, but he also was very excited and couldn't wait for the first day. I was happy that his excitement won over this morning and he couldn't wait to get to school. </div>

I felt totally OK sending him into the school because Handley's hallway is very close to his room so I knew she would make sure he got there OK! </div>

When Handley started elementary school I was a nervous wreck. We didn't know a single soul at that school. No neighbors, no friends, no teachers, no one! With Hudson though, we know tons of people, I know he'll have people looking out for him, and he's comfortable at the school. I'm just sad because my baby is growing up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I felt a little sad when I watched him walk in the school, but did much better than I was expecting...until I ran into a friend later that day and then it hit me and the tears came. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All day I kept wondering how they were all doing and hoping it was a great first day. Thankfully, I kept myself busy and before I knew it, it was time to head to the bus stop. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They were all smiles hopping off the bus and Hudson came up and gave me a huge hug. They all had great days and couldn't wait to tell me all about their days. From the sound of it, everyone loves their teachers and their new class. They each gave me a play by play and Handley told me she gets to lunch just as Hudson's class is leaving and that he was so excited to see her today. </div>

Handley thinks her teacher is going to be tied for her very favorite ever, Harper loves her class and Hudson said Kindergarten was better than he was expecting, just very long. I think we're off to a great start this school year and can't wait to see all of the wonderful things this year holds!</div>

Hudson got to find out a few days ahead of the girls because our school does a Kindergarten Popsicle Party the week before. He learned that he would be a Bear Cub and have the same teacher Harper had for Kindergarten! We loved her and were so excited that he would have her also! <br />

Then last Wednesday evening we got to learn the girls' teachers and they were over the moon when they saw the class lists! Harper got one of Handley's previous teachers that we loved and Handley got one of the teachers she had hoped for! Thursday morning they were SO excited to go meet their teachers and see their new classrooms. <br />

Any sadness they had about summer being over went away as soon as they met their teachers. They kept saying how excited they were and how they couldn't wait for the first day! We are so thankful for amazing teachers and just know this is going to be a wonderful school year!<br />

It was busy and chaotic, but all sorts of fun! <br />
<br />
We started off meeting old friends for lunch and some jumping one afternoon. Our neighbors from our old hood will always be like family. We pick right off where we left off and the kids grew up together so they are all still so close! <br />

Next, Harper went to visit her BFF who just recently moved out of state. She got to stay with them for the weekend, and had so much fun that she didn't want to come back home. We all miss her sweet friend, but are happy they are only 2 hours away so it is still manageable to meet up!<br />

We ended our summer fun by spending as much time at the pool with friends as possible. The summer flew by and seems super short this year, but we still managed to squeeze in tons of fun!<br />

Since she had a fun trip for her actually birthday we didn't really do a party this year, but instead she just picked a few friends and we had a girls day. They got their nails done and we had a fun lunch at Cheesecake Factory! It was the perfect way to celebrate our birthday girl! </div>

I can't say I loved it, but the kids sure did have fun. This was the first year that Hudson was old enough to do swim team. His first practice made me a little nervous and I wasn't sure he'd be able to swim the length of the pool using the correct strokes. However, on the day of the meet the adrenaline kicked in and that boy rocked it. He did so well and we were all impressed! <br />

<br />
The girls got out of school just before Memorial Day. They both had such a great year with wonderful teachers and I'm shocked that how quickly the school year passed by. However, we were so ready for summer and couldn't wait for a break from school. <br />
<br />
Harper made lots of great friends this year and sadly one of them will be moving away in just another week or so. Makes us all sad! <br />

The girls had a fun last day of school and we celebrated as they got off the bus with water balloons before heading to go swimming for the afternoon. <br />

The week before school got out soccer also wrapped up for the season. The girls played in their first tournament and it was cut short by some bad weather, but they did amazing. <br />

Going into the second day they were tied for first place so they got awarded champion medals! Her sweet coach did an awards presentation after their tryouts for next year and all the girls were so happy!<br />

They had a few performances throughout the school year, but the biggest thing they have been waiting for all year long was to sing the National Anthem at the Braves game! <br />
