Playing in the Rain

We took the kids to our friends' land on Saturday, and they had a blast getting muddy.  They didn't mind the rain at all!  Daddy took Zachary for a ride several times, and they played in the sandbox with Mr. John :)

 

Favorite Book Character Day

Today was our book character day at school.  Zachary dressed up like Buzz Lightyear, and Bethany was Rapunzel from Tangled.  Here's their 2 year old class.

 

At least two of us are looking at the camera.

Big Bikes

Who else is loving this weather?  Zachary and Bethany tried on their cousins' bike helmets at my parents' house today.  They looked so grown up "riding" big bikes!

 

Not the first day of school pictures!

These were my attempts at second day of school pictures.  Last week was so crazy, and I'm hoping things go better this week.  The kids have had a hard time with all the changes (new teacher, new house, big beds that we're not sleeping in yet).  It's hard for me when my daughter says over and over again how she wants the old house.  I guess it will just take some time for all of us to get settled!

New Beginnings

We're moved into our new house, and the kids start back to preschool this week.  What a crazy time for our family!  Here's a couple of pictures we took after church this morning.  I had to post the one of Bethany since I don't often catch her smiling so big.

August Birthdays

Yesterday was my mom's 59th birthday.  Randal, Bethany, and Katie helped her blow out the candles on Sunday.

And last night, Zachary got to help Ashley blow out her candles.  Only two more months and we'll be celebrating the kids' 3rd birthday!!!

Girly Day

Today was fun because I got to go to Abilene for my friend's baby shower.  Here's the bow holder I made.

My mom made this blanket and matching burp cloth.
