The poor bike accident that could've been so much worse. Halle was flying down a hill and crashed into a trashcan and obviously met the pavement at some point during the fall. What a trooper. The poor girl had to walk home w/ her bike and blood oozing from her face and arm. It broke my heart. Her cheek was huge along w/ her lip and I took her to the doctor just to be sure she didn't break anything or have anything damaged internally. Thankfully she was fine! I know what you're thinking: WHERE WERE YOU MOM? Well.....she has gone around the small loop in our neighborhood a handful of times and this was one of them. It's not something she does often, b/c it terrifies me, and this is why. She begs saying "I'm almost 9," and she is right. When I was 9 I was across the neighborhood on my bike, playing in the woods, jumping in creeks, climbing rocks, etc. and I lived to tell about it. SO, I was letting go a little I guess. So much for that......But, she has managed to ride her bike, play soccer, do Girls on the Run, and gymnastics. Nothing brings this girl down! She amazes me with how much she has grown up just over the summer. It's like talking to a little lady sometimes! I'm sure that may change on a dime, so I'll count my blessings now!

GO COCKS!

I'm not sure why we cheer for them sometimes, but we do! Cade is all about some Gamecock football, or any football for that matter. He will watch the game, keep up w/ the score, listen to the commentators and repeat, "YES, 1st down." It's so cute!

Cade going long!

T-Paw and Cade planning the next route!
The girls in the mix!

Gamecock tattoes to really show off our spirit!

Cade is actually trying to catch this. I'm not sure if Halle is playing defense or what, but it looks girly to me too!

Soccer is in full force and I do have some pictures. Never mind I'm WAY late. I've been busier than every this year with school and the fact that I'm even blogging is amazing. BUT, they are only young once! Soccer pictures coming soon!
