Sam's Fam: Football, Labor Day, Sam's B'day, Irmageddon, etc..

I feel like the last 4 weeks have consisted of about the same things: school and football. It has been really nice being back into a routine with all three kids having school some. Taylor and Thomas are both loving preschool. Every single Mon and Wed when we go drop Taylor off Thomas cries because he doesn't get to go. Every. Time. It's cute/pitiful. Besides school Bryant has had a lot of flag football practice. He is so ready for his first game, which was suppose to be this week, but instead is going to be next week. He can't wait! A few weeks ago me and all three kids went to the UGA vs. App State game. We did the whole experience: tailgating, Dawg Walk, pregame on the field, and the actual game. The kids had a great time and did awesome. We did leave at halftime, just because of how late it was getting for Thomas, but all in all we had a great time. Then on Labor Day we had one last hoorah of summer at the pool. Josh had to work, but the kids and I had fun. Then that Tuesday, September 5th, our sweet puppy dog Sam, the namesake of the blog, turned THIRTEEN!! It is so crazy that I have had him for thirteen years. He has seriously been the absolute best dog. And even though he is slowing down some, I think he is still doing amazing to be 13! Another exciting thing that happened recently was Hurricane Irma. We got to have some unexpected family time due to Josh's sister and her two kiddos evacuating south Florida. All of the cousins had so much fun playing together. It was a good, surprise visit. And thankfully they didn't get hit near as bad as originally predicted, and we just lost power for a long afternoon/evening. Because of the storm the kids didn't have school this past Monday or Tuesday. So we had a nice little 4-day weekend. Well...nice besides the weather. ;) Anyway, I think that about covers the main stuff. Below are lots of pictures.
