October 2011

It is hard to believe but not only has October come and gone...so has November!!  I can honestly say that I feel that if I am still in August!!

Anyway, Jordan is a freshman in high school this year and he played football. We went to all but one of his home games to support him. He did a great job, and I honestly couldn't be more proud of him for choosing a sport and giving it all he has. They actually did not lose a game all season, so I am really looking forward to watching their team grow over the next 3 years.....even if that means that I am actually facing the fact that my baby brother is in high school!!

He is #53, and he is in the middle of the field in this picture.

Watching defense play....

Uncle Jordan's #1 fan....and always scamming Pawpaw or Paran out of food and drinks!!

 At the beginning of October we headed to Gulfport/Biloxi, MS to meet Ryan. It was the annual Cruising on the Coast Rally. For those of you who do not know...that is a huge hot rod show that my husband has ALWAYS wanted to attend. We couldn't be there for the whole thing, but we got to go and see old cars....thats all he really cares about! 

We met after work on Friday night and headed out to the show on Saturday morning. We went to the auction and to the part where they have all different kinds of things for sale. There is a name for it....I just can't remember it. :-\   I had my camera but also had a 3 year old around very expensive antique cars that were for sale, so I didn't get many pictures at all. 

Like I said, we attended the auctino....WITHOUT a buyers paddle!! It was definitely interesting to witness a live auction and to watch people spend crazy amounts of money in the blink of an eye. Cullen wasn't extremely interested in it of course, and I was in charge of him while Daddy took it all in!

Looking at a Camaro....or drooling....i'm not sure which one.

We were walking through the auction beforehand and looking at all the cars and I was talking about how my Grandpa would have been so excited to be there as well. Especially if he could have checked out the red convertible mustangs.....as soon as I turned the corner this is what I saw....

Someones grandpa looking at a red convertible mustang.....My grandpa may be in heaven, but i'm pretty convinced he was in this showroom that day!!!

We headed back to the hotel later that afternoon and let Cullen swim in the indoor pool for a few hours that night. He was worn out....WE were worn out. The next morning we headed to the outlet mall, and I got some retail therapy in during boys weekend!!
