14

Just like with the other two I took Jared down town to take photos of him.:)

All I really want to say is, CAN WE STOP TIME, PLEASE!!

It does not feel as if he should be 14! But he is.

And we are blessed and honored that God chose him to be our son.

 

Mr. Cool dude. Ha! The sun was in his eyes and I told him he didn't have to smile in this one. Well he ended up looking mad...Lol 

ahhhhh it's my birthday. I get to be lazy... (He wishes;) )

His choice, donuts on the way to school, Chicken in dumplings for dinner

and chocolate cake!

 

Happy Birthday, Jared! We love you!

First Football Game

And Grace was ready to cheer on her brother and the Bobcats! (How much is that doggie in the window....ruff.. ruff) Ha!

My friend Mandy did an great job on her first Mum!

Their first time to march and they all did an awesome job! It was neat seeing Jared out their on the field...I can't believe he is this old. :(

 

But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7

3 weeks down and lots more to go...

Well we have made it through the first three weeks of school and all is going well! Jared had his first football game last night and  they did an awesome job! (I will post pictures soon!) Caden is just glad he has had no homework, yet. Grace loves it and has stayed on Green! Which is such wonderful news! This time last year was not so pretty in her color behavior folder.

 

A few pics of what we have been up to

Labor Day weekend we drove to Palestine with our good friends and spent the night in this cute little rustic cabin they own.

We all had a good time just relaxing and getting away! It really was the perfect timing! Thank you sweet friends!

 

Grape picking with friends at the vineyard!

I have my wedding portrait hang in the hall way and Grace has been asking to see my dress for awhile, so I decided to get it down for her. It is really heavy so that was Jeff and Jareds' job. ;) She asked me if she could wear it when she gets married. Of course I told her yes! And, I know she may change her mind by then, but that was one of the sweetest questions she has ever asked me!

 

We went swimming at a hotel ON a school night! Wooohoo! Benefits to Nana & Papaws a/c going out! ;)

I love this pic because how big my Dad is smiling at Grace! Yes, she was being silly. Nothing new! Ha!
