First Field Trip

Grace and her classmates took their first field trip yesterday. Every Kindergartner loves the zoo!

The students were asked to bring a sack lunch and this is what her Daddy drew up for her after she had gone to bed. Oh my goodness, she loved it! When she opened the fridge to get her lunch she gasped and said, "WOW!..why did he do that!? I said, because he loves you." 

 

The original Zoo date was today and I had planned on joining her but the school rescheduled for Thursday two days before and with me still coughing up a lung and I had already committed myself to helping out a friend, I had to miss her first field trip:( My friend would have been fine with me going, and, if she knew I missed this she would probably be upset with me, but with the temperature in the mid 30's I didn't feel this was a good idea. I am ready to get over this crud and cough!

 

As soon as Grace got into the car I said, "well how was your first Bus ride?! Did you have fun at the Zoo?!"

"Mommy! I wish you could have come with me! It was FUN! I got a feather and a penny!" Oh wow, who gave those to you?! "I found the feather on the ground, it's from a red bird and the penny is from the coin machine. J.J.'s mommy got it for me! See...it has a crockie on it!"

 

Mrs. Duncan tries to split up the kids with parents to give them more of a one-on-one experience exploring the Zoo animals, which I love. Grace enjoyed walking around with her sweet friend J.J. and her mom and I am so thankful her. For making my baby girls first field trip a success!

Seasons

Appertanly, we have gone from football season to sick season in a weeks time. :( I will take sitting in the cold bleachers vs sitting in a Dr's office 4 out of 7 days, any day.

 

 Grace has had a awful infection in her leg that will not heal. And we are not sure but may have given it to Jared so he is now on antibiotics as of last night.  I have not felt good since Thursday and ended up losing my voice but thankfully it is slowly returning.

Last Tuesday was the last game of the year and it was a good one! What an awesome win bobcats! Jared even told me on the way home that he wouldn't mind playing again next year. Wow! That was a shocker!!

 Grandparents came out to sheer them on through out the season!

Awesome season Bobcats!

We celebrated Rebecca's 16th birthday at the Olive Garden for dinner!

Nina and Papaw and I joined this little turkey for dinner!

I am so glad I mustered up enough energy to make it to MOPS yesterday. We made these there and I love it! My first burlap wreath! Lol! It took me a little bit, I wish I was more crafty. When I got home I took half of  it apart and "fixed" it. I am pretty proud of it now and have it hanging by my front door! lol

What We've Been Up To

This post is just some of what we've been up to the past two weeks.

My three drug free kidos! Kicking off Red Ribbon Week in red!

 

My Aunt Peggy and Uncle Don came from Lake Palestine to watch Jared play football! I love my family so much!

 

I took these three to the park while Jared was at after school practice one day...

It was neat to watch the kids play on the same play ground I played on as a child.

 

I had lunch with Caden and had the opportunity to meet his friends at school. I will say these are some pretty sweet boys!

 

Grace and Nathan at his birthday party. Yes, Grace is Miss Sassy pants. She is too much!

 

Nana and Grace at Caden's football game. I don't know why but I love this photo so much!

 

I took a few pics of the boys at Andrew's 13th Birthday Party. Jared had a blast of course!

I also got this cute pic of Grace and Aimee's Aunt and Step Mom! Love it!

 

Have a blessed week everyone!!

Farm Fair

Last weekend our church had their yearly farm fair! This has always been a lot of fun for the kids but now that they (the boys) are getting older I wasn't sure how they would do. After Jared came home a few weeks ago from youth group saying the youth was helping with games... I knew he would have fun. But then there's my 10 year old who doesn't want to dress up for Halloween and who also informed me he didn't want to participate in the Christmas program. Goodness.

I knew one thing though, I knew this little girl would have a good time!

Katie and Grace

Yes, she made all 4 rolls into the potty:) Jeff said, "If only she would put her toys away that well." Ha!

Love this one of Caden helping Mr. Eric with the remote control cars! He enjoyed this so much, he is still talking about how much fun he had! Thank you Eric for letting the boys help with this!!

 

I could never get a pic of Jared helping out but he enjoyed the evening even though he was going on 30mins of sleep in 36hrs. Yes. Not a smart choice on his part. He was miserable by the end of the day.

 

Happy Halloween!
