There's No Place Like Roam

To be honest, we aren't die hard sports fans. Hunter has been asking to go to a college football game, but with soccer it had been hard to fit it in. My alma mater, Jacksonville State University, made it to the semi-finals in their division, so we took the opportunity to go. They whooped Sam Houston and will play their playoff game in January. The boys had a great time and I loved seeing the Marching Southerners!

The coolest indoor rock climbing place was built in Chattanooga 2 years ago. I wanted to go so bad, but just never made it a priority. The kids begged to go over Thanksgiving, so we took the guys and cousin Patrick. Because we had to supervise their climbing...I STILL didn't get to do it!

Starbucks, Subway and a SmartPhone...yep, he's a teenager! 

Hunter played soccer again this fall. His team won all games except one. It was a rainy season, but we finally wrapped it up in November. Hunter wouldn't let me take ANY pictures until the very last game. Hunter's magic knee. It prevented a few scores in the last game.  He even tried his first Starbucks (PSL) as a reward.

Continuing the family tradition of dressing in theme, we tried Star Wars this year. Carter was on the fence about trick or treating, but we assured him that he should get in his last pre-teen year while he could!  We went to a new "employee-sponsored" event at VW and it was awesome. Trunk or treat, food trucks, pumpkin carving, bounce houses and a dance floor. We hope to decorate a car in the trunk or treat next year! Jason's spooky pumpkin!

We continued our pumpkin patch tradition after our move to TN...we are so glad to have found Old McDonalds farm! There are so many things for bigger kids to do - I even tell Jason he will have to bring me after the kids are grown.

We were able to have a fall session with our favorite Chattanooga photographer, Pleasant Vonnoh. Jason had a special request for the first shot. ;-)
