Just For Fun

Nana's Birthday

The Mitchells came to town this weekend so we spent Saturday night celebrating Nana's birthday.

The kids enjoyed being able to play on the new swing set.

Grandmommy joined in on the fun too!

Carson and Hannah had plenty of entertainment with their older siblings around.

These two are growing up so fast!

Grandmommy & Cole

 "Happy Birthday to you!"

 It was a wonderful night spent with a wonderful family!  We love you, Nana!

Birthday Girls

Every year on September 7th we get to celebrate two very special ladies in our family.  We love you Nana and Aunt Rachel!  Hope you both have a wonderful day!

What's next mommy?

Our Labor Day weekend was filled with lots of fun events.  We had so many different things planned that all weekend Connor kept asking me "What's next Mommy?"  He was really enjoying all of the fun things we were getting to do!

Carson had his first taste of Friday night football.  We met up with Nana and Poppa for dinner and then headed out to the DS field for their first home game.  The boys both loved cheering them on.  Carson was so cute clapping and waving his arms all around.  He could feel the excitement in the air!

 We made it almost to half time before we left.  Wimberley ended up winning by a lot so I don't think we missed too much. :)

 Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed to SA to meet the Armstrongs at Sea World. We have seen the Shamu show several times, but this was the only time I had ever seen them just stop preforming.  They decided they just wanted to swim around and play instead.  I guess they needed a holiday weekend too! :)  

 Typical scene with my boys- Cole and Carson happy to be riding the carousel.  Connor happy to be watching the carousel.

 Carson was such a trooper the whole day!  

 Connor and Jenna checking out the baby seals.

 Love these boys!

This never happens, but on Sunday we were ready EARLY and were just sitting around waiting.  We wanted to let Carson get every last minute of sleep he could so we filled our time with a little photo shoot.  

I prefer to hold the little monkey right side up! :)

Sunday night Cole and his dad headed to the 1st A&M football game in College Station.  With all of the fires along the way I was thankful they made it home safely.  

Monday was our much needed day of relaxation!  We loved having Cole at home with us.  The weather was so nice that we even went outside and didn't break a sweat! :)

I hope everyone has a great week!

Week 2

Noah's Ark was our Bible story this week so we decided to take a trip to the Nature Center.  We meet up with 2 other families that are doing the same curriculum and let the kids do some exploring.  Connor seemed to really like the reptile room.  I even heard him tell a snake "No eat the fruit!" Can you tell that we spent all of last week talking about Adam and Eve? :)

 This was our first time out there, but they have the neatest gravel pit where the kids can "dig for dinosaurs."  There are huge dinosaur bones hidden underneath that the kids can find.  Connor left covered in dirt and dust with a huge smile on his face!  As we pulled away he said "Thank you for taking me to the science center.  That was a great day!" So sweet!

Another favorite for Connor this week was the sink or float game.

 It was fun making predictions on what would happen and see how excited he would get with each object.

Our second visit to soccer cubs had major improvements!  He does SO much better in situations when he knows the routine and what to expect.  I think I need to start bringing his sweet teacher a treat every week!  Can you imagine coaching 3 year olds while all of their parents sit and observe?  She is a patient woman!

We are off to our first football game of the season tonight.  Seeing that kickoff is not until 30 minutes after bed time we are going to be lucky to make it to half time.  Thankfully both boys are down for a nap right now!  Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!
