Halloween

Two thirds of the Jackson kids came with us to take Audrey to Zoo Boo. We had a cheerleader, Harry Potter and a computer hacker. Rose was not amused when someone handed out kids' versions of the KIND natural bar instead of candy:). 

Then for Halloween, Emmy dressed as a zombie motorcyclist. It poured rain so as soon as there was a break in the weather, they hopped out for five minutes of trick or treating. Elly and Lily were superheroes and I was lucky to be in Wynne and get to attend Dean's Halloween party at school. 

Football

My favorite players played at the same time so I got to watch them both play. Solomon and Lucas had big games and I am so glad I got to watch them. Watching Audrey be a cheerleader was just a bonus!

Beach

We took some friends with us to the beach this year and managed to pick up another friend (Nick Saban!) on the way. I am certain the Alabama football coach enjoyed his time with us on the beach. When we returned to Memphis, I put him at the desk of a coworker who loves Alabama.

San Diego

John joined me in San Diego for my conference. He really is the best. Cathy came and stayed with Emmy so that we could go together. It's our first trip for the two of us since we met Emmy. We missed her terribly and she may have missed us.

Yo Gabba Gabba for 43!

Emmy found some YGG decorations once and insisted this was my birthday party theme this year. I am not sure the other adults knew what it was but we did and loved it. We had Burton Olympics and announced winners on the podium.
