Another time at Grammy and Pappy's

This is another weekend we spent at Grammy and Pappy's. We all go together to celebrate Dylan, Drew and McKenna's birthday. There was some pinata fun! I am not sure who had more fun, the kids trying to hit it or Pappy trying to make them miss! Either way, the pinata lost!

This is how Glade got to be called Log Toe...he got a really big splinter in his toe. My dad and Tim had to work really hard to get it out.

Addison was super sweet trying to help Glade be still.

Sprinkler fun at Grammy and Pappy's

Awhile back...like in October...we spent some time at Grammy and Pappy's house. The kids got to enjoy playing in the sprinkler.

I have been falling down on my job with this blog! I am hoping to get caught up. Check back to see more of me playing catch up!

Soccer

Glade played soccer for the first time this year. He did really well and enjoyed playing so much. He is actually going to be starting indoor soccer for the winter season. He will get to play with a good friend from preschool so we are excited about that. He scored a goal in every game and there was one game he scored 9 goals...so he says...I think it was more like 5! He just needs to remember to go after the ball and not wait in the goal to try to block it. I am so proud of Glade's ability to play and his love for the game, no matter what game he is playing.

The first day of school~two months later!

Oh how I can't believe this day has finally arrived. My babies have grown up and are going to school. I am so proud of the these two. They have grown into two pretty incredible children. We have been praying for them and their school experience. I can say since we are two months out from this first day that they have been great! Addison cried on the second day of school and crawled under the table and wouldn't come out. Her teacher had to get the counselor. Who then brought her by the room I was subbing in and I had to talk her into to going to class. That was the only day! Thank goodness. I couldn't handle many more days like that!

My sweet Glade. He is such the easy going child. He walks right into class without letting any anxiety of nervousness show. He has grown to love school and has made some great friends. I love seeing his sweet spirit come through!

This is how Daddy and the kids kept me from breaking down and crying. Silly pictures!

They came home to balloons and we made special cookies. Kissing hand cookies!

Let's play catch up...

I cannot believe it is almost halloween and I have not even put the first day of school pictures up yet. I have a good excuse...well, at least I feel a good excuse! I had all these kinds of great intentions the first week of school to get the blog updated, the house cleaned and organized and several other thing done. It all started off great. We got the kids off to school, Tim and I spent the morning running some errands and enjoying a good lunch just the two of us. Then I got a call from the school asking if I could sub the next day. I couldn't say no. So here starts the reason I am so behind. I have been subbing in a third grade class for almost the entire school year. I think there have only been 5 or 6 days I have not been in this class. I have to admit, I really love it. The class is great, the curriculum is fun and Glade and Addison are loving school. I only have a week and half left before the teacher will be back. I am dreading it. I really enjoy the class and have come to love it while I am at school! The problem is when I get home...I am having a hard time adjusting to full time work. It is such a balance that I have to get worked out.

So, stay tuned for lots and lots of pictures. Starting with the first day of school, then Glade's soccer games and trips to Grammy and Pappy's house.

Back To School Party

Last night our sweet friend Kinsley and her mommy, Holly, hosted a fun back to school party for the preschool gang. These kids have all been together since they were babies! My kids started in the nursery at preschool when they were 5 months old. They had a great time getting to play with each other. It was bittersweet for all the mommies as we said good bye to our preschool days and all go in seperate directions to our schools. We made plans to keep getting together!

The group of friends. There are a couple missing, and we sure were sad they could not make it.

Of course Addison would look down!

Best Buds!

Fun with Cousins

Last week we went to spend a few days with my sister and her family. We went to the swim club with them and the kids had a blast! They braved the high dive and then spend the whole time jumping in the pool. They were exhausted!
