Jace- St. John's Preschool

Is this a handsome little guy or what?!  Here is Jace's 4 year old preschool pic along with his class pic.  Not sure it gets any cuter than this! 

Kendall Assembly

Kendall wrote a story and it was chosen to be published in the school wide book called "Gold."  She was 1 of 2 Kindergartners who were chosen to have their stories published.  We are so incredibly proud of her and what a confidence boost for her to be chosen to read it in front of her entire school at the Monday Morning assembly.
Keep up the outstanding work Kendall!  You are amazing!

Pumpkin Farm Fall 2012, St. Louis

Our last Fall in St. Louis was topped off with a wonderful day spent at the Pumpkin Farm.  Kids  picked a pumpkin and enjoyed pony and barrel rides.  Fun times had by all!

 Watching the Bulldogs play.

A few random pics.....

Jimmy and I in Vail, CO. Amazing!  Can't wait to be close enough to visit regularly.

 My mini me.....Just being silly

 Welcome home Daddy!!!  Kids welcome poster and balloon.

Just a pic of us I love....an oldie....from our 7 year anniversary trip to Vegas.

Birthday Party Fun!

 Birthday party fun at Hi NRG Gymnastics!  

We invited lots of our school friends and had a blast doing gymnastics and eating cake & pizza.  Jace chose a Hot Wheels cake and Kendall chose Tinkerbell.  Yum!

 6 year old Princess Kendall for the day

 My favorite little people :-)

 Jace and his preschool buddies....the little guy at the end really did have fun! ;-)

 Our Happy Birthday Medals!

Happy Birthday to my babes!

 Look at my beautiful 6 year old girl!  I am so proud of my Carolina girl.  My lover of all things purple & pink, American Girl, Mac-n-Cheese, dress up clothes, french braids, polka dots, Fancy Nancy, earrings, the School Bus (seriously!),  riding bikes, and anything crafty.  Kendall, your sweet spirit, fierce determination, full face smile & nurturing soul make me the proudest Mom around.

 And now to my handsome little dude.....simply put, life would be boring without you.  In your 4 years,  Jace Man, you've made me laugh out loud more than I thought possible.  Your wit, your spunk, your mannerisms might just make you the coolest little 4 year old around.  My little Texan.....You make my days sweeter, my worries greater, & my proudest moments grow by leaps and bounds.

 As we say, "I love you more than a million bucks!"  Or they may top me and say, "a billion."

Papa's Boat

Kids had a blast on Papa's boat.  Not a fish in sight, but they didn't care. Thanks to Gammy and Papa for a fun morning on the boat!

Quite a driver!!

Gammy & Papa's in Georgia

Home sweet home!  I always love going back to GA and especially now with the kids, so they can spend time with Gammy and Papa and of course, Nate and Wesley.  We are getting a niece in December who Kendall has fondly named Rosabeth.  Ha ha!  How exciting to be adding another girl to  the family.  Congrats to Brad & Kim! We are blessed!

 Watching the Steam Engine Parade....the kids loved it!  I think they especially loved the candy  they caught! :-)

Getting a little exercise in at Catch Air....the kids always love going to this place when we visit GA.

Hilton Head Island

We got the kids over to the beach while we were at Mimi and Pap's.  Kendall and Jace were trying to hang with Zac, Kenz, & Ty on the boogie boards.  :-)
