We had a great time at Cowboy Day with Cooper's class today. They went to different stations, had hotdogs outside, and smores. I loved spending the morning with my little guy and his friends.
Sara Kennedy LOVES horses. She has adored them since she was a little bitty thing. Today we went to Aunt Shirley and Uncle Gary's house and she & Cooper got to ride one of their horses, Goldie. We had such a fun day visiting with them, Nana, Dede and Aunt Ann. The weather was beautiful and I loved seeing the huge grin on SK's sweet face when she was with Goldie.
WOW~ what a busy day we had at CA today. The 1st and 2nd graders performed a cheer and dance at the pep rally this morning. Then, at 2:00 the 1st and 2nd graders had a tailgate party on the playground. At 6:00 we tailgated before the CA football game and at 6:45 they performed on the field. We had a fun day! Go PANTHERS!!!
We are so blessed to have two AWESOME teachers! Sara Kennedy is so excited to be in Mrs. Strong's class! And to say Cooper is "smitten" with Mrs. Hammett is an understatement- how cute is she? The pics of the kids with their teachers is at Meet the Teacher. The pics to the far right are the first full day of school. The kids were fine- I, on the other hand, cried like a baby!!

We had a blast out on Will's Dad's (Pepaw's) pontoon boat today. The Webbs and Ellises came with us. The kids are fearless. They've been unjoying the summer on the boat and had a blast with Mary Brieten and Zan. Even Jean Elaine, Noel and I got in on the action. Jean Elaine showed off some stellar standing moves until Pepaw threw her off. What a fun day!
Will and I took Sara Kennedy and Cooper to New Orleans this past weekend (thanks Memaw & Pepaw for keeping Harper)! We went to the Aquarium, Cooper loved the sharks and SK loved touching a stingray. We went to the Louisiana Children's Museum where the kids got to shop in a kid sized grocery store (complete with real cash registers) and load cargo onto a kid sized barge. We walked around Jackson Square and ate at Cafe du Monde, swam in the rooftop pool at the hotel, went to the Insectarium (Cooper ate a chocolate covered worm & SK ate a chocolate chip cookie with crickets on top) and took the St. Charles trolley (my favorite part) down St. Charles and got to admire all of the old architecture and see some really pretty homes. It was too hot for the zoo and it started raining and we didn't get to ride the ferry. We'll have to plan another trip soon!
