August Revisited!

I keep forgetting to download pictures off

of my phone...

and if you are anything like me...

that is where most of my 

day to day

pictures live!

So I downloaded today...

and came across some

worth sharing.

You know you live in a little town,

when you see someone making

homemade

cracklins

and 

pork rinds

at the local farmer's market!!!

Little brother holding

his big sister.

My sweet babies!

These next few require a little background.

We have a decent pool in our neighborhood,

with a baby pool.

For whatever reason,

Mr. T was NOT interested 

in the big pool,

with or without a life jacket.

He was VERY content to stay 

in the baby pool.

In August,

we hit the indoor pool at the YMCA.

So even though we had nice

neoprene life jackets for him,

somehow...

the good old trusty orange

life neck thing...

was like superman's cape!

This kid

ASKED to wear one...

then did this!!!

And this!

Then finished up with 

this!!  

Mommy was so shocked! 

And SO proud!!!

Then...

behold...

what the Martinez Family

LIVES for!

NC State Wolfpack Football Season!!!

We have phenomenal seats

for having young kids...

our guys are able to 

hang out 

down by the field

and get up close and personal...

with

the football players

the mascot

the cheerleaders

and 

the dance team.

And Rico's goal...

every game!

Is to get on the big jumbotron!!

Its typically just

mom and dad

and

the big boys...

we typically 

leave the littles 

with my mom and dad.

BUT,

we always take them to 

at least one game a year...

We took them to the first game of the season!

And they jumped right on in like they are 

born with the love of the Wolfpack in their bones!

Mr. T cheered so hard...

he passed out!

Post game photo op!

Yep,

this is where my boys sit...

every game!

(except on their knees

and

facing the other way, of course!)

And the annual family

football photo!

(thankfully this football
season is almost over now though)
