Just Chillin'

I can't get enough of seeing Aubrey sit in her Bumbo. Her little, squatty body is too much...

Play Hard/Sleep Hard

Oh the days when you could sleep anywhere and not wake up stiff as a board. Love this little guy!

Back to School

Just yesterday, Madison started second grade and Max first. They were so excited to go back. They picked out their own clothes, and woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Although, I still think Max looks quite sleepy in this picture and kind of resembles the monkey on his shirt. I was definitely one of those proud mothers, waving wildly, with my camera in hand as the bus pulled away...but don't think you'll catch me sporting, "I am a Proud Parent of a Student at *** Elementary!" bumper sticker on my car (Not that there's anything wrong with that!). I'm sure every mom feels the same when they send their kids off to school... pride, excitement, anxiety, sadness, and all the while have a little prayer in your heart that they know how much they're loved, and that they'll always be protected and watched over. It's always hard to let them go, no matter how old they are.

On a lighter note...I remember being in second grade...

*I was in Mrs. Hunsaker's class.
*I mispelled Hawaii on a spelling test.
*Had a crush on one of the Brians (We'll just leave that one a mystery!).
*I got bit by a girl...yes, I said BIT by a girl!
*Loved playing heads-up seven-up in class.
*Was scared to death to use the restroom in case "bloody Mary" was in there.

Aaahhh, the good ol' days! If only my kids can look back on their years of school with a smile on their face and hopefully the good memories will outweigh the bad!

Look what I found...

So I've been searching forever for a hat, found this one, and LOVE it!!!

First bite...

Got the bib...

Got the bowl...

Got the spoon...

Got the rice...

Got the bite...

Got the thumb...

Soooo not the best pictures, I was juggling the spoon and the camera...but ya gotta love all the firsts of babies! She was a good eater and actually didn't pull too many faces, but just preferred the thumb.

Sleepover

With summer coming to an end, the kids decided to have a "sleepover" until school starts. So they made a nest of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals and have been swapping back and forth from Madison's room to the boys room. Don't you love the smirk on Maddy's face, Max's snoring, and Chase is just along for the ride.
