fontanel & football...

we love getting to go back for mtsu games..& love even more that our boys will have memories returning to where daddy played..



brax, mia & her buddy paige on the sidelines with mtsu dance team..thats one of mia's dance teachers on the left


our 6 year anniversary last saturday! after driving to smyrna to take mia to dance, we stopped by one of our new fav places..the fontanel mansion for lunch..its barbara mandrels old mansion off x 40 & they have this awesome restauraunt that only uses local ingredients & free range/grass fed meat.. not to mention the live folky kinda music going on most saturdays.. its surrounded by a creek & beautiful lil hiking trail..so we love it & are actually bummed about all the advertising they've been doing lately.. hoping it doesnt get too touristy but oh well..it is great.. this weekend they just happened to have horse/wagon rides around the trail & for a mere 15 bucks we had us a good ole time :)

the first time we saw knox show this kinda fear..he squawled when brock would get close to the horse..


so glad mr. henry created that ford..this ride was super bumpy..can't imagine that whole oregon trail thing

the kids had a great time exploring & 'rearranging' (decorationing as brix calls it) all of the pumpkins..


knox so proud when he finally managed to get into this chair


love this pic..beacause its so typical of much of these two's interaction... brix being brix & knox fearing for his safety




our nite out to nashville..my one request was to be able to shop in anthropologie with no time limit(check) after passing this hat, brock sarcastically commented something about me needing it, well sarcastically i tried it on & suprisingly, i actually liked it..its really not me at all but after spending 50 bucks on it, i thought well, i might look silly & it doesnt match at all but who am i gonna see tonite anyway.. (shout out to abigail & ryan who i did run into after several years :) we wandered into whole foods (sad, i know..a grocery store on our anniversary..really?) but we really do like the place & then over to jay alexanders for a luxuriously long dinner... fun, fun..
