An Ode to Summer

Oh how we enjoyed this watermelon from our garden!

Happy Birthday Baby Teag! 9/19

This birthday boys' favorite part of his day was the balloons. They were everywhere - on his highchair, on the ground, floating in the air. As we got him out of his room in the morning all he could say was "eeww" "eeww" and just point and smile. He LOVES balloons!

Quin was putting the icing on the cake before dinner and Teagan starting pointing and whining. He really wanted His cake. So this is what he ate for dinner. (Look at that smile - he REALLY wanted that cake!)

Stuffing his face.

He engulfed that cupcake!

This birthday boy loves to smile. He attracts people wherever we go with that contagious smile. I am one lucky mom because I get to enjoy him every day!

Red Dogs

Ashelyn's soccer team this year is the "Red Dogs". We even had to buy her some red socks to go with her outfit:)

Ash smiles throughout the whole game (which is normal for her - but when you are running that is hard to pull off!).

But I guess I would smile too if this is what I got at the end of each soccer game.

The Ball Bandit

Lately, we have been going to the high school to play tennis. Teagan wasn't too fond of the whole sit and watch idea. Hence, the walker. Teag loved the fact he could chase those green balls around! (I know, poor picture quality - time for a new camera, right!)

Sand

It has been beautiful weather (below the 100's) the past couple of days. We finally ventured out and found our sand pile. I then allowed virgin Teagan to "dig in". It was worth the smiles I got, but his diaper would say other wise!

(Don't mind the girl in the back with her shirt off. The princess in our house tends to follow what the boys do!)

Tie Dye Fun

Treydon's school had a jog-a-thon yesterday. Teag and I stayed to watch. Treydon's teacher has her class tie-dye shirts for this event. It was pretty fun to see all the different kinds of shirts that were created.

Trey and his band of rowdies enjoying popsicles after the race!
Look at this kid fly!

This is what we found when we got to school. Shirts hanging from trees!
(What a fun teacher!)

Back to School we go!

School started this week. It crept up on me, and I actually "kind of" didn't want it to start so soon. Alas, the kids were excited so we pulled through and made it through our first day!

Treydon started 1st grade this year! All day school for him. He wasn't too excited about being at school for 7 hrs, but hasn't really complained since. He plays soccer at recess with second graders (who are on his soccer team) so that is all he can think about!

Ashelyn started preschool this year. She was super excited to finally get to go to school. She goes every day. One of her friends is in her class with her, and it sounds like they just play together and exclude everyone else! Her favorite thing is playing house, but I was informed she has to have a key to play and sometimes she doesn't get the key. Oh, the stress!
Now this kid gets stuck with mom for three hours every morning. Poor thing. Teagan loves his mom, but its really boring when its just me around. I did get some smiles out of him though. He loves water!
