FIRST test...

Easton had his very first spelling test...well, his VERY first test ever. We practiced the words all week and he got better and better each day. He wasn't nervous when Friday{test day} rolled around, but I was. I couldn't wait for him to get off the bus to find out how he did. And he did GREAT...he got a 100%...I was SO proud and he was too. He couldn't wait to show his Daddy how well he did. Way to go Easton...we are so proud of you!!

ALL Girl 98% girl...2% boy

I still remember laying on the medical bed getting my ultra sound and the doctor asking Ian and I if we wanted to know what we were having. I remember thinking, no, it's probably another boy...but we did say yes, we wanted to know. I can clearly remember the words, "You're gonna have a girl!". I remember the tears flowing, I had just assumed it would be another boy, although I LONGED for a baby girl! Well, I got my sweet baby girl and I love her more today than that day I found out she was in my tummy. She is ALL girl, throws fits over shoes, claiming "I DON'T LIKE IT" when I pick out her clothes, cradling her baby doll as she feeds it a bottle...but when you have two older brothers it's impossible to be 100% girl...

NEVER a dull moment

Whomever thinks that being a stay at home mom can get a little boring, has NEVER meet my three little munchkins! There is NEVER a dull moment when these three are together! I LOVE these three so VERY much and have been blessed so much more than

I deserve!!

This princess needs NO knight in shining armor!!

Goldilocks and the three bears

Apparently black bears LOVE leftover pizza and birthday cake. We have heard since we moved into our neighborhood{a year and a half ago} about a black bear who lives in the neighborhood enjoying peoples trash. We had yet to meet our neighbor until recently. We were up early enjoying breakfast when our doorbell rang. It was one of the local builders letting us know we may not want to let the kids out to play or even walk to the bus stop, like we typically do every school day. The boys and London were excited to see the bear...momma not so much. Let's just say I drove to the bus stop that morning and we no longer put our trash out at night.

Waylon's BIG day...

Waylon started pre-kindergarten this year. He now attends school three days per week...he had a wonderful first day{which happened to be his 4th birthday}. He has a whole new set of teachers this year and is slowly warming up to them. He is blessed to have several friends from his class last year and a couple who are his BEST friends. I am praying my little man has a wonderful year this year!!

FIRST baby...FIRST grade

Easton started FIRST grade...and honestly I can not believe I am the mother of a first grader. Kindergarten last year was a half day program, so this year was a little different for not only for Easton but for Waylon and London. Waylon had a hard time the first week once he realized Easton wouldn't be eating lunch with him any more. However, I think he's liking being the BIG boy at home now. Easton LOVES school and has a wonderful teacher...looking forward to a WONDERFUL first grade year!!

FireMan Waylon turns 4!!

Sweet Waylon decided he wanted a fireman party for his 4th birthday. Since Ian and I decided this would probably be his last birthday party hosted at the house, we decided to go all out. I must say we LOVE a good party...we LOVE celebrating another year of enjoyment with our children. This year we hired a pizza fire truck to come to Waylon's party...Waylon was SOOO shocked when the firetruck pulled up{he had no idea}. It was a wonderful birthday party for Waylon but also a great end of the summer party for everyone.
