Picture this...


Our friend and wonderful photographer met us downtown for a family photoshoot on Sunday evening. After taking the whole family last week for YaYa's birthday I realized that it had been a while since we had our photos taken. So I put in a call to Diane McKinney and the shoot was set! After much debate as to what to wear we went with the classic blue jeans and white shirts! I am still amazed at how great they turned out! Thanks again Diane!

Wolf Pack in da house!!!

A few months ago Caden asked us if we could go to a football game. Since we had already discussed getting season tickets this was my push to encourage Andy to go ahead and get them. Well lucky for us our sweet neighbors were selling 4 of their seats for the season! Thank you Dails! To kick off the season we tailgated with our dear friends the Hortons. We don't get to see them as much as we would like but it was the perfect time to get together. Natalie's birthday was Sunday so we celebrated with a cookie cake! Andy cooked some mean steaks on his mini egg & we feasted on an assortment of delicious tailgating treats! It was such a joy to see Alli & Ella Grace together. The two of them sat in their little chairs just chatting away like they had never been apart. Natalie made some beautiful wolfpack bracelets for myself and Alli...she is so talented! I think she could sell them for sure! After our tailgating we headed in for the big game... The kids were so excited! Our seats were perfect & I couldn't believe how into the game both of them were. Asking every detail...why that penalty?...how many yards?...and can the wolf really do that many push-ups? What a great family time. I look forward to the rest of the season! Go Pack!

YaYa's 65!












We had flamingos for her 60th so what do you do to celebrate YaYa's 65? You plan a surprise photo shoot with the entire family! Yes we managed to get 21 people all color coordinated and at the same place with smiles on! YaYa loves pictures and has always wanted to get one of the whole family! I think it was the best gift Tom has ever given to her! She made a collage of the photos and will have it hanging in her livingroom for years to come!

Sew Much Fun

After looking on Etsy for some cute skirts for Alli, I decided I could make them myself! So I called YaYa and asked her to join me at the fabric store. Of course we selected way too many projects but so far Alli has two new skirts! Hopefully more will follow in the not so distant future. Can't wait to show you the owl dress! Alli is most excited about the peace jumper that we have in the works. We also bought a pattern so we can make some matching outfits for her American Girl!



That's Amoore'

No that isn't a mistype in the title. If Andy opened up a pizza joint we thought this would be a perfect name! It was pizza night at the Moore's last Monday! Andy got a new Egg so we decided to give it a spin and cook a little homemade pizza! It turned out delicious! The kids had fun making theirs too! Notice Emma's monogrammed pepperoni! A girl after my own heart!





She's a Keeper!

It is fall...my favorite time of year! Leaves will begin to change, pumpkin spice lattes, fire pit nights, and in our house...soccer Saturdays! Both the kids are having fun and finding out their favorite positions. Caden likes playing midfield and Alli's favorite is in goal!

He'll keep Tri-ing!

Caden completed his first Finley Frenzy! We are so proud of our tri-athelete! After swimming 125 yards, biking 3 miles and running 3/4 of a mile he still had a smile on his face! He did such an amazing job & had quite the cheering section! Thanks to the Centenos, Perez', YaYa, Granddaddy,& the Treichlers for helping us cheer him to the finish line! Noah also did the Frenzy and finished with excellent time! Good Job boys!
