Dug Gap Teachers Tailgate

A few weeks ago, some of the DGE teachers supported the Southeast football team by tailgating and cheering them on at the game. It happened to be the coldest game of the season, but we still had a lot of fun!

I finally got to break out my Snuggie! :)

Benson Girls Rock Out

I know that they will probably kill me one day for putting this on here, but it is too funny not to share. As I was updating the blog, Brinlee and Josie were rocking out. I have no idea what she is saying, but I do get "rock" in there more than a few times. Sorry about Josie's attire, but at least she has a shirt on! Maybe we have some future rock stars in the Benson Family. They wouldn't be the first ones...ask Clint about his rock band days! :)

Sunday Fun

Today, we celebrated AnnaGrace's birthday at MiMi and PaPaw's house. We had a yummy Sunday dinner with cake and Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, AnnaGrace's request. Thank you MiMi for a wonderful meal! We even had enough to bring home and have leftovers Sunday night.

Ready for church!

Josie, in her new glasses!

Happy 10th Birthday AnnaGrace!!

On October 9th, AnnaGrace turned ten years old. It's so hard to believe that she is officially ten. It really just seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. We are so proud of the young lady she has become. I keep telling her to please stop growing or at least slow down, but she just laughs. We love you Gracie!!

For her birthday present, she wants to redecorate her room. She got new bedroom furniture and in the next couple of weeks we are going to try to get her room painted and fixed up. I will post pictures as soon as we finish.

To celebrate, she wanted to go to the movies to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. So I took her and Brinlee and we had a girl's night out to eat and to the movies.


Another birthday request was to make her own cupcakes. No, she didn't want to order a cake, she simply wanted to have fun making cupcakes. She is not hard to please!

Happy 10th Birthday!

Getting Caught Up...

I haven't updated the blog in a while. We have been busy with school, church, football, and cleaning out closets and moving around bedroom furniture. Hopefully, we will be finished soon and I will post pics of the girl's new rooms. Here are some pictures to get me caught up.

Southeast vs. Model...RAIDERS WIN!!

Clint's Dad, a.k.a PawPaw, came out to watch Tanner that night.

It was a little chilly at the Ringgold game. :)

Josie and Griffin having fun at the game...

Happy 35th Birthday Daddy!

Today is Clint's 35th Birthday! We celebrated by having the traditional birthday dinner at Provino's...yummy! Then, we came home and had a little family party for him. Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you so much and are so lucky to that God put you in our lives. You are a wonderful husband and father!

Josie sang a solo of Happy Birthday to Daddy :) Precious!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!!!

Circus

A dear friend at work, Terry Wagnon, was so sweet to give me free tickets to the circus. The girls have never been to the circus and it was definately an experience. Clowns, jugglers, elephants, camals, tight rope walkers, and women hanging from their actual hair...you name it, we saw it! Thank you Terry, we really enjoyed our time at the circus!

 

Homecoming and Football

Friday night was Homecoming at Southeast High. Tanner was asked by his friend, Lindsay, to escort him at the Homecoming ceremony that they had at the school Friday morning. She was one of the six seniors that was on the Homecoming Court.

We played football against Heritage High where my cousin, Dakota, is on the colorguard. Dakota is also the World's Best Babysitter...the girls love her! Kim, my sister that lives in Montgomery, and the kids came to spend the weekend.

Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Jackie, mom's brother, also came up from Cartersville so that they could see both Dakota and Tanner in action. It was a good game, but the Raiders pulled out a win in the end. The final score was 21-26.

The Hunt Cousins :)

Mrs. Debbie, my partner-in-crime and my parapro at school, and he husband Debbie also came to the game. I guess she got tired of me talking about SHS football so she decided to come check it out herself! :)

My BFF from DGE, Renee, also came with her family. Renee's oldest daughter, Hannah, is a cheerleader for North Murray High...so it was really sweet of them to come cheer for a rival team. We love you Haught Family!

FINAL SCORE...

It was a fun night of football with family and friends!

Proud Mom :)

AnnaGrace had an assignment for her ALPHA class to make a scarecrow from scratch. Well she did and she did it ALL ALONE with no help from me. Being a mom and a school teacher, it was very hard for me not to try to do it myself or at least try to help, but I knew she could do it. She did it and she did a great job! We are so proud of her. She sewed the patches and the buttons on all by herself without any help. We also got a small pair of overalls that were way to big and look what she did with them...she made it into a skirt. Something I would have never though of. I think she is getting smarter than Clint and I...UH OH!! :) WAY TO GO ANNAGRACE!!

Here is her scarecrow displayed in the DGE library.

Happy Birthday McKenzie!

While Clint was at the ballgame, the girls and I had fun at McKenzie's 3rd birthday party. McKenzie is Josie's best friend. They stay at the same babysitter and McKenzie also goes to church with us. Kelli, McKenzie's mom also teaches with me at Dug Gap. Our family is blessed to have wonderful friends like the Kaylor's in our life.

Josie and McKenzie, the birthday girl...

WAR EAGLE BABY!!!!

Clint went to his first Auburn football game for the year yesterday. The Tigers took on Mississippi State. We were happy for daddy that they won 49-24!

Here is Clint before he left for the game. :) Happy Boy!


Josie sported her Auburn apparel on Saturday and Sunday. It makes me a little sad that Anna Grace and Brinlee are too big for this. :( They are certainly not unhappy about it and tried to talk Josie out of wearing the cheerleading costume on Saturday. What else are big sisters for?

Anna Grace, Brinlee, and Josie have all worn this dress. :)
