This family get-together was a long time coming! Both our families were so busy during the summer the weekend we finally planned to get together, I came down with the flu and had to cancel. Rescheduled to the weekend of September 13-15 and we were honored to celebrate with Maddox's first lost tooth!!
Nancy and Brian had a cool door hanger where to leave the tooth for the tooth fairy so as not to disturb a sleeping child! The fairy then could leave a present in a built-in pocket on the hanger!
Maddox showing off his gap on the bottom row!
What an opportunity for a special tooth fairy book - Brock got to listen too! (Past Kade's bedtime)
After breakfast done the only way we know how - EPIC - it was time for Maddox's machine-pitch baseball game!
Maddox had a pretty good hit on his first at-bat, but his second at-bat was a PERFECT bunt - found its way nested right on the foul line between home plate and third base!
It was lovely to spend some time with Suzanne and Mike while watching Maddox play too!
Silly sun - it always gets in the way!
How cool - their team even has names on the back of their jerseys!! I love it!
Right after Maddox's game, we swung by the house to change into Green & White University of North Carolina at Charlotte wear! I loved that Brian and Nancy had a full wardrobe of different size shirts for us to try on!
Brian found us a parking pass too so we could join them in their parking lot for a fun tailgate - Brock and Kade's FIRST football tailgate and football game! They loved all the food and games - pizza, chips, tater tots, & hot dogs while playing soccer or catch in the parking lot.
Almost time for game time! We opted to try to walk to the bookstore because Kade wanted a UNC-Charlotte hat. We got to walk right past Nancy's dorm when she was a freshman on campus!

Asher was a bit unsure of this bus ride!
Yay - we arrived! These were great seats! So glad the boys had their glasses so they could actually see the expansive stadium, the football players and the scoreboard!
We worked REALLY hard to get on the jumbotron! Asher was the star sitting on Brian's shoulders!
(Look at the blue fish in the Harris Teeter logo - we are directly on that line! Brent's blue hat and my head is right behind Asher! Nancy is holding up the phone to take a picture right beside Brock!)
Awww!
Ice cream break!! And we found Kade his hat!
I like this candid photo of Nancy and Asher - his little hand on her lap is so endearing!
Kade really was mesmerized with the football game and everything going on! I loved that he loved his Charlotte hat!
I wish Maddox made it in these cousin pictures too! (he was getting a dessert with his dad)
A late night for all the kiddos - and adults - we all slept good that night! The boys were treated to French Toast and bacon early on Sunday morning at Sassy's house! No wonder we got to sleep in a little bit - it was quiet! As always, thank you to Nancy and Brian for a wonderful jam-packed, non-stop, but immensely fun weekend!!
Kade and I capped off our time in Charlotte with a trip to Ikea.
