back to my old stompin' grounds :)

After Maryn's soccer game, the kids and I headed north to visit Grandma Spaulding.  Uncle Brad was staying with her and we were going to the Tipton County Pork Festival Parade!  I grew up going to the Pork Festival.  I can remember many years of spending the night with Grandpa and Grandma Spaulding, watching the square dancers in the Jim Dandy parking lot, eating elephant ears, and watching the parade on their front lawn.  I haven't been to the festival in years and knew Grandma would really enjoy having the kids come up for the parade.  We had perfect seats reserved for us at Horton's Hardware and the kids loved it!  

Waiting for the parade to start! 

Great Grandma Spaulding and Maryn

Theo loved the fire trucks...

tractors, and of course his sucker!

Maryn didn't appreciate the sirens so much :)

And poor Cormac just wanted to take a nap...he was a trooper!

Fun glasses they passed out at the parade!

Had to take a picture of my high school band :)

The crew!!

and we have a soccer girl!!

 We have entered the world of sports!  This past Saturday, Maryn had her first soccer game!  The Charging Cherries were ready to take the field on a cool fall morning and take on the Blazing Blueberries.  It was a great first game and she had tons of fun.  Can you tell she was excited?! 

 Let's go Cherries!!!!

Super excited for her first game!

Go Charging Cherries!

Throwing in the ball

Nice kick! 

Maryn's turn at goalie...this series of pics cracks me up!

Yay!!

Catching a break...

Whoa...this is hard work!

#11...Go Maryn!!

The Cherries and Blueberries...good game!

Cormac...7 months old!

A little 7 month recap of Cormac...he is a busy boy!!  Cormac has started crawling and he is everywhere!  He loves to be wherever the action is and quickly finds his way there.  He has decided that baby food is really not his thing and so we have moved on to trying puffs, cheerios and the sippy cup.  He still is very attached to Mommy :) He now has 6 teeth and will bite your shoulder then laugh...no so funny for the recipient of the bite.  Cormac loves being with Maryn and Theo and they can always bring a huge smile to his face.  I cannot believe how quickly he is growing!

Maryn trying to carry Cormac..."he sure is getting heavy mom!"

silly faces and smiles :)

all dressed up for a wedding!

mmm...this sippy cup thing is ok :)

what a cutie!
