First Day of Preschool

Brooke is ready for preschool and anxious to play with her friends!

Cooper and Lance are ready for school!

Lance's first homework assignment is complete! Their teachers had asked that each student put pictures on a film strip to share with the class. I thought both Lance and Cooper's turned out well!

Here is Cooper's homework! What fun pictures!!!

The kids first day of preschool was on Tuesday. Believe it or not, they were just as excited to return to school as Mom was ready to send them back to school!!! They all had a great day with their new teachers and playing with both old & new friends!

A Day at the Park

My Little Artists Play Pictionary

Here is Cooper's Masterpiece ...

His Description: This is a big boat on the water with a lot of round windows.

Here is Lance's Masterpiece ...

His Description: There is a man fishing on a boat, and a dolphin jumps out of the water over the boat. The hook from the fishing rod catches the dolphin up in the air.

Back to School Party

What a fun group of boys!!!

Brooke sure enjoyed her cupcake!

Lance and Cooper wanted to have "The Camping Boys" over to play. We quickly decided that we should plan a "Back to School Party" for their camping/preschool friends. Everyone had a great time swimming and eating cupcakes!

Our Little Driver

Three years old going on 16 ... are we in for an exciting drive or what!?!

Brooke's Playdate with Margaret

Not sure why Brooke is squinting like that ... regardless, I thought this was a sweet picture of the girls!

Margaret came over on Saturday to play for a couple of hours with Brooke. They had so much fun playing dolls, dress-up, and taking a bubble bath!

Friday Fun

Fun-Filled Day with Friends

Cooper, Drew, Lance, Adam, Brooke, and Kyle ~ the big kids are demonstrating how to put ice on their heads and of course the younger ones were following their older brothers!

Cooper, Bo, Owen, and Lance ... they were headed to battle with their "swords"!

Brooke's 2 favorite colors ... she was finally able to capture both of them!

What a great day!!!

The boys' friends, Bo and Owen, came over this morning. They enjoyed playing inside for awhile before we all packed our lunches and headed to the pool. After swimming, they decided to build a "Boy's Only Fort" to picnic in; Mom & Brooke had their own private lunch at the "Girl Table"! Brooke also enjoyed a pedicure!

And then .... after not much of a rest ... we met some friends at the gym and then had dinner at Chick-Fil-A. The kids all had a great time!

Good Morning Friday

The boys really enjoy coloring! This morning, they woke up and wanted me to print them some color-by-number pages from the computer. They quickly made their way out to the porch to begin their projects! It's amazing how quickly they "adopt" their own system in doing things ... wonder if they will be this organized one day when they go to school?!?

Another Fun Pool Day

Lance & Cooper had a great day swimming with all their friends!

Brooke enjoyed swimming with Adam, Kyle, Max & Margaret yesterday.

Back to School Party at The Cove

Trip to Destin

We enjoyed a fun trip to Destin last week! The kids stayed with Mimi and Papaw (thank you!); and I was able to tag along with Chad to his symposium. I enjoyed some relaxing time alone, playing tennis, and shopping; and Chad managed to get a couple rounds of golf in! We had a great time!

Playdate with Blakely

Cooper and Lance both adore their friend Blakely. Isn't she beautiful?!?

Cooper finds a quiet place to relax (for a quick minute!).

Lance and Blakely .... what a great picture!

Blakely came over to play one day after the gym while Brooke went to play with Skylar. The "big" kids all had a fun time playing together both inside and out!

Weekend Visit with Family

Brooke Goes to Camp

Brooke went to camp at Gymbugs with her best friend, Skylar 7/23 - 7/25. The girls had a fun time together and both earned the "Jumpin Bean" Award!
