JR Saw JD

 JR went to the Turning Point event last night.  He had tickets to go before Charlie was murdered, and I'm so glad they didn't cancel.  Both Erika Kirk and our future president spoke.  

JR lined up at 11:00 and they let them in at 3:00 (the event started at 6:00)


He's with his friend Kaylee and she had a quote in the newspaper. 



JR said even getting in line at 11:00 they were one of the last people to get a seat on the floor.




What an honor to get to go! 



And he even made Fox News

Megyn Kelly

 My girlfriends and I went to see Megyn Kelly on Thursday.  It was very similar to the Gutfeld show, but I have to give it to Gutfeld, I think his was just a bit better.  It took forever to get in because Don Jr. was one of her guests, so we all had to go through secret service security.  I don't even own a purse small enough that was allowed, so I had my phone in one pocket and my car key in another. 

She came out to Kid Rock, so I was impressed right from the start.


She looked gorgeous.  We looked it up and she's wearing a $5,000 Oscar De La Renta dress.

First she interviewed Jesse Kelly and he was really good.

Then she brought out Don Jr. Here's his intro (it's in 2 parts because it was too long to upload as one)


Don Jr. wasn't what I was expecting.  He actually reminded me of JR.  He talks really loud, he's very animated and he does his impression of Trump every time he's telling a story about him. 

It was a fun night!

2 Picture Trip

 We went up to Oxford to see JR this weekend.  It's always a fun time in Oxford, which is why I guess I don't have any pictures.

The Official Last One

 I started tearing up when we arrived in Huntsville, and Jason started laughing at me.  We knew this would be Reed's last cross country meet (ever) and it was bittersweet.  

They had a nice send off to regionals.


Jason and I enjoyed watching him race one last time.  We laughed about how cross country is the easiest sport for parents, and talked about how amazing it was he never got sick or injured in 4 years. It was good chapter.


Reed said "Tough conditions. Tough race."  

He placed 38th out of 184 of the best runners in the region, not bad.  

Reed's Instagram posts made me cry again. 

These "boys" running yesterday

Were these little guys freshman year!


We've had a great time watching Reed run far...and fast!

Chloe in the News

 During the summer one of my friend's daughters reached out to me to do an article on Chloe.  She had an internship at one of the local magazines and obviously she knew who had the most beautiful dog in all the land.  

I had actually forgotten about it until someone sent it to me.  So, here's Chloe's in-print debut.

Not the Only Winner

 Reed isn't the only athletic winner in the family, guess who else won something?  

That's right, me! 

Ok, so it's not nearly as exciting as running far really fast, but I won 1st place and I won some cool prizes.  I did all the different work out classes that the club has to offer in the month of September.  I had to go to water aerobics and the senior citizen class, but worst of all, I had to take 3 different yoga classes!  

Here we are getting interviewed. 




And you can watch it on Instagram here (it's too long to post)

Last District

 Reed ran his last cross country district meet last week.  It was a little sad because we really enjoy watching him run (fast). 

Here's a video of the day that one of the kids on the team put together.


He finished 4th in the district with a time of 16:20 




The team was a little disappointed because they thought they had a really good shot at winning district (they haven't won in over 20 years) but they came up a little short. 



They run at regionals next week, which will be the last cross country meet.  4 years sure flew by!

#4

 The 4th of the college acceptances arrived last week, and I'm not going to lie, I may have screamed, run out in the driveway squealing to find Jason, and have scared him that someone had died. 

And Kyle wearing his College of Charleston sweatshirt is about as on brand for our family as Reed wearing his Babson shirt to tour Boston College.

Quick Trip

 Jason and I took a quick trip up to Breckenridge this weekend, and I don't even have any pictures to show for it.  But I do have a video of a mama and baby moose we saw, which is pretty cool.

Best One

 You'll never convince me we don't have the best Halloween decorations in the neighborhood, because we absolutely do.  

Reed was able to get them up on Saturday.  

I know all the little neighborhood kids that visit each day in their strollers and pet and hug the blow ups are happy!

I scored the giant cat last year after Halloween and he really is a showstopper!

It's a Girl

 If the weekend wasn't busy enough with homecoming and then Gutfeld, Kyle had pig selection day on Monday!

He did lots of careful looking




And then made his selection.

Pig squealing will never not be funny to me. 




Everyone was most excited to hear her name. 

Kyle said he "couldn't name her Megan Maroney 2" so he went with "Iris" after the 1990's song by the Goo Goo Dolls. 


So here she is....Iris.



And, as a bonus, a picture to refer to if you ever think Kyle doesn't look exactly like Jason...

Gutfeld

 MawMaw and Granny Sherry have birthdays a month apart.  They also watch Greg Gutfeld every night.  So when I saw that he was coming to Houston, I thought that would make a great birthday present for them.

He was here on Sunday afternoon, and we all really enjoyed him.  I've only seen bits of the show a few times and even I thought it was really entertaining.


Jason is in charge of taking all selfies so I'm terrible at them!


Tom Shillue sat on the stage with him.



And then they would put up people on the big screen and talk about them.  
They started with sweet Charlie Kirk.  

It was a super fun day and I'm glad we got to go.

Our Last HoCo

 I'm not going to lie, Jason and I will definitely miss things when all the kids are out of the house, but homecoming weekend is not one of them.

To be fair, this one was pretty easy, even with Kyle's group being at our house Friday night.

Friday night at our house with Kyle


Friday night for Reed (I made the 2 left mums and the one on the right)


Saturday night Reed


Saturday night Kyle
