Waiting on Daddy

Last night Daddy was on the phone and Alea wanted him to rock her. I told her to quit crying and lay in bed and I'd have daddy come in as soon as he could. When we went in to check on her, this is how we found her! In the rocking chair with bear, pillow and blanket fast asleep....I guess Daddy took too long! He still picked her up and rocked her and put her in bed! What a sweet baby girl we have!!

Back to School Open House

Last night we were able to go to the school, meet the teacher, drop off supplies and eat ice cream with friends. It was fun to be able to see Bray's classroom before the big day! Here are snapshots of the night!!

First Day of School

Today I sent my two oldest kiddos off to school...way too early in the year! It's HOT out, they should be home still, but had to send them. They both left with smiles on their faces as B starts

her SENIOR year and Braylen her 2nd grade year!!! Alea wants "somebody to play with!" She already has cried for her sissy!!! Guess it's time for some mommy and le le time!!!

Brittany Had a Little Lamb.....or 2!!

This was Brittany's first year in 4-H. She made Brad proud and took sheep to the fair! Yesterday was the Sheep show. She did a great job showing!

Rides at the Fair

This is Fair Week! After watching Brittany show her sheep and checking out Braylen's mini 4-H project, no bake cookies and Brittany's photography and vet science projects, Mamaw and Papaw took the girls through the animal barns and then bought them so me tickets to ride rides!! They were sooooooo excited about the riding part :) Thanks Mamaw and Papaw!!!!

Go Dodgers!!!

Braylen played Coaches Pitch this year. She was on the Dodgers team. They are a very young team, but made sooooo many improvements this year! Her team made it past the first round of the tournement, but lost their next 2 games. They had a great year and we are so proud of Braylen. She won the award for the Most Improved Player!!!

Little Miss Homemaker

Braylen wanted to make cupcakes for her swim party with friends.

Braylen is in Mini 4-H this year. She is taking No Bake cookies to the fair. This day she was making Rice Krispy treats.

The Past Week

This past week was spent either in the pool or at a ball diamond! Braylen had either practice or a game every night this past week. It was a hot week, so our pool was used a lot too! Today we spend most of the day in the pool! It was nice to relax at home today :)

A Special Gift

Alea's Birthmother sent her a gift for her 4th birthday. Alea got a cat, a few outfits, 2 dolls and a beautiful card. She was quite happy to open this gift. We will always treasure these special gifts from her birthmother. Thank you very much if you are reading this!
