We moved Bentley from Coosa Christian Daycare to Southside Baptist Daycare in August. It was a very hard decision, but I am 100% confident we made the right one! He walked into the room on his first day & sat at the table and ate his breakfast like a big boy. Not a single tear was shed!
Every year, we have the Habitat for Humanity Dragon Boat races come to Gadsden. This year, Kip was on Exchange Bank's team. They won 2nd place!
We cherish every moment we get to spend with Graison & Evelynn. As Bentley gets older, he enjoys being at their house that much more. He LOVES Graison's hot wheels cars! These 2 are going to be the best Role Models and "big brother & sister" to Bentley. They already are....and we love them SO much. They LOVE their Bentley too!
Football Saturdays are our FAVORITE!
We had the honor of attending the 2017 Etowah County Republican Dinner in September. It was a wonderful event. We had a delicious meal and an awesome guest speaker, Cliff Sims. He is the Special Assistant to the President & Director of White House Message Strategy. He founded Yellowhammer News and is from Alabama. You can read an article about that here.

Bentley went to his first Alabama football game & his first NFL game! We spent the weekend in Nashville in September & went to the Alabama vs. Vanderbilt game on Saturday then to the Tennessee Titans game on Sunday! We also got to explore Nashville on Friday! Bentley was a CHAMP the whole weekend even though it was extremely hot.
SEC Nation was in Nashville for the game, so we got to see the set for that and got to watch them film! We even saw Tim Tebow!
The game was at 2:30 & it was SO hot. Alabama won big, so the game was pretty boring. And it didn't help that we had a squirmy toddler with no room for him to wiggle around!
The Titans game was the worst. It was SO HOT and we were miserable. I am not a big NFL fan anyway, so I didn't care much about going to the game. It may have been more enjoyable if Bentley had not been with us. I was mostly worried about him getting too hot or sunburnt. PS. Nissan Stadium will not let you take spray sunscreen in. We had a throw away a brand new bottle.
It ended up being a really fun weekend, but we were ready to get back home!
We carried Bentley to the Sand Mountain Pumpkin Patch. He LOVED it. He loves "kins" as he calls them.
Halloween 2017
This year, Halloween was SO different! It was FREEZING. Bentley was Chase from Paw Patrol, and his costume was pretty thin, compared to last year! We carried him to the First Responders Trunk or Treat then Goodyear's Trunk or Treat on Saturday. Sunday was Southside Baptist & East Gadsden Baptist Fall Fests.
