Fall Portraits

I took the boys to a park by our house on Sunday and took some pictures.

Pics the boys took:

After Gage took a picture, Griffin wanted a turn, and he wasn't taking "no" for an answer. I was worried about the camera. :)

Meet the Teacher

Both boys' schools had Meet the Teacher night on Friday night before school started on Monday. We got to see their classrooms and other parts of the schools, and we met some of their classmates and their teachers.

Griffin didn't want me to take pictures of him before we left...


Gage is always a good sport about my camera obsession...

Gage at his desk:

Gage's teacher is Ms. Courtney. She seemed very down to earth and mild tempered. She was happy to see all the kids, which is a good sign (or she is a good actress). Gage liked her and liked the school, too.

Griffin just layed in the floor most of the time we were in his classroom. I'm sure his teacher was very impressed. ;)

Griff's teacher is Mrs. Pierdolla. She is so sweet, and Griffin seems to like her.

My Cub and Hawk:

New Schools

Both the boys are going to school this year. Gage is in 2nd grade, and Griffin is in Pre-K. We went to register on August 5th, and I took some pics of the boys and their new schools. Griffin is a Harmony Hills Hawk, and Gage is a Coker Cub!

Tutu Cute!

My neice turned 1 year old over the weekend, and we went to Austin for her birthday party on Saturday. She is just the most precious little girl I've ever seen. She's full of energy and so funny to watch! It's already obvious that she is going to be a social butterfly. She's precious! See for yourself!

Gage and Griffin had a great time at the party. Uncle Luke ate at the kids' table with them. :) They loved seeing Grandpa, too.

The boys got Avery a Build-A-Bear dressed in a Cowboys Cheerleader costume, and they recorded a message that plays when you squeeze the bear's paw. They were really excited to give it to her. Both Gage and Griff are so good with Avery. It's so cute to watch them together!

Gage had fun playing football with Blaine and Uncle Luke.

Dinner with Friends

Some of my dear friends in Katy took me out for a farewell dinner the week before we moved to San Antonio. We had such a great time. These girls are amazing. Love 'em all!




What is up with my hair in this picture? Why did someone not say something???

Camping

Kamie and I went camping for July 4th at Canyon Lake. We had a great time! We floated the Guadalupe for about 8 hours on Saturday, and we drove back to Lubbock on Sunday. Mama kept the boys for me. It was so nice to have a little break from reality!

The view inside our tent...

We saw Jason (Chris) Boland on Saturday night.

Tired, but enjoying the show...

The Barn Park

At the beginning of June, Kacee and her boys and my mom came to visit, and we went to the park for some stress relief. Here are some pics.
