...trapped...E found her way in and I have no idea how she did it without tipping the chair on her....I had the darnest time trying to get her out...she kept giggling while I was trying to take the chair off of her.











K being silly......











E being just as silly....this is an toy that got deflated and we came up with a new way to use it.....

1st Day of Preschool

We had a VERY excited girl this morning. We had gotten everything ready the night before and when she woke up this morning....she was ready to go...I had to convince her that she needed to eat breakfast before she went...





Here she is in the van....(yes folks...we own a van..how crazy is that)










Here she is hanging up her back pack ....
















Here she is holding her school supplies....she was soooo excited to go shopping for them.....







Here is her teacher and teacher's aide....from left to right.......

E...K....Mrs. S.....Mrs. V.....





When asked if she had a great time at preschool...she said yes...when asked what she did the response was...."I don't know"...hmmm...the answer that I will probably get on a regular basis..

Back to XC

D just started XC (Cross Country) practice this past monday at FHC. He is now coaching the girls team as well as the guys team. He has about 35-40 runners all together. He has an assistant coach that helps him out which has been great! He goes back to school soon and K will definitely be sad that she won't have dad around during the day. She is looking forward to going to the XC meets this fall....E loves to be outside so she should have a grand time as well...

Grandma came to visit

Grandma came to visit us for a week and K was VERY excited. For a couple of weeks we we asked every day when Grandma was coming...we went and did lots of different activities.




we went to the Children's museum......














I thought this was a cool picture........






E...liked the mirrors...she was hilarious..she kept looking at herself and cracking up laughing...she played in this tunnel for a long time...K just loved playing with the play bank that is there..







we also went to FM Garden's to the children's area as well.......

...and to the zoo with her friend B....B and his family just moved back to the area and she is soooooo excited to have him around......




We definitely kept Grandma busy and we played and had a blast...thanks Grandma for coming to visit...we hope that she had a great time....well...we are off and keeping busy with other things.

Happy 1st Birthday E

All in all E had a blast on her 1st birthday...and K thought all the toys were hers....

Time with My High School Girlfriends

Here is V, P and A...we had a great time with all the families.

K is such a ham..here she is having fun with one of the kids! The kids played so well together and had such a blast.....We hope to get together again sometime.....
