First Day of School

Today was Treydon's first day of Kindergarten. He was so excited that mom having to take a picture was almost too much for him. But he managed to pose.

Here is Ashelyn on her first day of Preschool. 8/27/09

Zoo

The kids and I were invited to go to the zoo with the van Beevers (either because they took pitty on us for not having Quin around or because they knew my kids would act up more than theirs!!!)

Here are the children trying to smile. Now my kids didn't do so well, but the others are looking!
Ashie enjoyed feeding the stingrays some fish (this girl will squish anything between her fingers), while Trey thought it was "old news".

Ashie's new smile

Ashie comes up with new stuff all the time but today it was this "new smile" that was cracking me up.

Glow in the Dark Miniature Golfing

Glow in the dark golfing CAN be fun if you DON'T HAVE two rowdy children wanting to get to the next hole as fast as possible, loud music to drown out you yelling at your kids, and a group of 10 people in front of you. That is why I always plan for the worst and TRY to make the best of it (and you better believe I can do this, I am a mother!). Quin had a "Golden Weekend" (a Saturday and Sunday off in a row - only happens once every two months around here!). So we took advantage of the situation and spent the day torturing Quin with games, rough housing, and miniature golfing (the kids have been begging for all of this)! We had lots of fun!!!!!

Pose Please!

During one of Treydon's soccer practices Ashie and I were playing with the camera. I asked her to pose, and this is the only picture I could get with her looking at me (after atleast 20 tries!). She is posing like her brother would pose with arms across her chest like a gangster! I love how she follows whatever her brother does.

I seriously think these shoes are so cute, but I don't know how she can manage playing on the jungle gym with them!?!
