Will's Fishing Buddy

Will took Cooper and Sara Kennedy fishing on our lake Tuesday night after dinner. SK loves playing with the worms and is ready to move onto something else after she casts the reel about 3 times (she is just like her mommy). Cooper on the other hand, sat with Will for about an hour. I'm so glad he shares his Daddy's love of fishing. I snuck out back and took this picture while they weren't looking. Will was sitting behind him helping keep his reel steady. They are my precious boys! Coop caught 5 fish and I didn't get a picture of any of them because SK and I were chasing the hot air balloon that was flying over our house. I finally got inside to get the camera and got a shot of it. It flies over about once a week! Good times!

Happy Birthday Memaw

Happy Birthday to Memaw (Aug. 12). She and Pepaw came over for dinner Thursday night and the kids loved singing Happy Birthday (and opening her present for her!)

Ballet/Jazz

It's been so nice to get back into a routine! Dance started back last week and Sara Kennedy and Blair are in the 6/7 combo~ ballet/jazz class. They wear big girl outfits now, no skirts or tutus :(

First Full Day of School

Sara Kennedy and our sweet, neighbor Zan on the first day of school. SK rode home with Zan today and wanted to play at his house for a little while. When she got ready to come home, he brought her home on his Powerwheel 4 wheeler and had her backpack on the front! What a gentleman!

First Day of First Grade and Coop's MMO

Sara Kennedy (first day of 5K on the left and first day of 1st grade on the right, she looks like she shrunk~ I guess I zoomed in last year :)I can't believe Summer is over and school is starting. But, I am excited about getting back into a routine and even more excited that we're getting closer to our new addition's arrival! We had an awesome summer, we stayed on the go! The beach, Kansas City, Jellystone, and Tupelo visit with the Wiltshire's. This morning was Cooper's first day back to Mother's Morning Out. He loved it! He wanted to stay for Lunch Bunch AND wanted to leave his "snuffy" (blanket) in the car. What happened to my baby boy? Sara Kennedy had Meet the teacher at school and goes for a half day Thursday, and her first full day is Friday. She has the sweetest class (8 boys and 8 girls) and an AWESOME teacher, Leigh Luby. I know she'll have a great year!

Kansas City Visit

We had a blast visiting Aunt Amy and Uncle Michael (and Mudd and Mollie) in Kansas City. The first day we went to the park and had pizza for dinner. On Friday we went to the Crayola Store at Crown Plaza and the kids played in the fountains. We had a fun lunch at Fritz's. They have trains that bring your order, it was really cool! Friday night we went to a BBQ joint (can't remember the name- but boasted as one of the top 10 places to eat before you die :) Saturday Will and Michael hung out with the kids while Amy and I went shopping and Saturday night we went to the BEST Mexican restaurant I've ever been to and then for frozen yogurt. Sunday morning it was time to leave. We miss them already! What a super, sun trip!!!
