Cat nap

This picture is priceless! Caught these two catching a cat nap on the couch! Like Father like son......

Baby steps to big girl

This weekend Faith learned to tie her shoes! We have been needing to work on it for a while and just haven't had a chance too. Saturday before we went to Ricks bakery she decided to give it a try. After about 5 minutes she had it down! So proud of her! I need to get a picture of her doing it. Just wanted to write this down before it slipped my mind!

First Day of Kindergarten

So I am writing this post about 5 months after the first day of school so it’s lost a bit of it’s luster, BUT not it’s importance! I remember Faith’s first day of school like it was yesterday. I cant believe that she is old enough to be in school! The first day was a bit of an emotional day all around. I was VERY sick and hardly able to get out of bed. I was able to manage to get up enough strength to ride in the car with Lee though to take Faith to school. She had a bit of a rough start shedding several tears for a couple of weeks every morning when we dropped her off. I seem to do the same many mornings. It has been quite the adjustment for us all getting use to her being in school everyday. Even as I write this a semester in I’m not use to it, nor do I like it. Blahh!

Faith has adjusted well and has made friends and learned a TON! I always look forward to picking her up at the end of the day though! I am so proud of her accomplishments and look forward to her reading me books soon!

Pumpkin patch

Last Friday we went to the pumpkin patch. It was our 5th annual trip to McGarrah's patch. It's really a fun tradition that we do every yr. the kids love finding their pumpkins and cutting them off the vine. Judy has come with us a time or two. She was able to make it up this year. It was a lot of fun to have her here to join in the fun! The weather was perfect. It was cloudy at first but then the sun came out. It was a cool crisp day so it actually felt like fall! 

Family

Yesterday my brother and his family came to visit from Houston. It was really good to see them. They have been all around the state visiting family the past week. We only had one night with them but enjoyed every minute of it! We ended our visit with a trip to Ricks. Who comes to Fayetteville and doesn't visit Ricks. Ha!

I got to love on my sweet niece. She is growing up so fast!!!





Ian is only 7 months older than Chanie Kate. He's so much taller!!!


Showing CK how to be a truck driver!


Early morning cartoons.

UNO

Faith has been sick all week so we have tried to find some low key indoor things to do when she feels good enough to do something besides lay on the couch. She has become quite the UNO player. She proves to be a feisty card player.

The 4th

We went to our neighbors house the night of the 4th and had dessert and shot fireworks. This was the 2nd year that all the kids had assembled at one house for the 4th. Everyone had a great time. Ian ended up getting burned on the arm by a fallen ember from a mortar. Poor guy was laying on the ground and he rolled over on too of it. He was quite the trooper though and didn't let it ruin his night or ours.:)
