September - week 1

Here was our first week of September!
 I was working and this girl was eating ice cream with her Dad way past bedtime.
 I love this girl's imagination!  She was talking away with her purse, diaper bag, and cell phone.
 Meanwhile, she just wanted to climb in and out of the golf cart.
 I am a self-proclaimed stroller hoarder and it kills Adam.  I can justify each of those strollers for their various uses :).  There is one more not pictured.
 She started showing interest in the potty back in September.  We started putting her on the potty before or after bath time.  
 A special night when they bathe in our tub...someone might as well use it!
 For a couple months, anytime Adam got out Cheerios, he knew Pippi would be in his lap.  She calls them cheer-eery-eery-os, I need to get it on video.
 It's hard to turn her down.
 The kids are coloring all the time.
 With her own bowl of cereal.
 She's rarely short on accessories.
 He was 'fixing' the fireplace.  I love this imagination stage!!
 A visit to Mama Kelly always means sugar!!!
 Any chance they get they sleep in the same bed.  I don't know what Lola was doing-maybe mad at Adam and I??  She sleeps with us every night.
 Laney got a cool make your own snow globe kit from Mamaw and Papaw Jones for her birthday.  
 We had lots of fun putting that together.
 Never leave a toddler alone.
Like how Adam or I just kept taking pictures instead of taking the markers away?
 My sweet niece and Goddaughter turned 2!
 I feel so lucky to have these sweet little girls in my life!
 Holding strong as the Souders grandsons!

 Adam wasn't at the party because he was working at Urban Air...any of those guys look familiar?  Alex Gordon's family rented out the park for this son's birthday.  We were pretty excited to have the Royals in the park!!!
 My sister throws the best themed parties, without being over the top.
 I ate 1/2 of those M&M's...no joke.
 Yes, those are dog bones, so cute!

First week of September was a busy one!

August 2015 - that's a wrap!

August was a crazy one with the store opening, the big kids' birthdays, and school starting.  Those are  some of our biggest events of the year and they all fell in the same month!  Here are some final pictures to round out August.
 Scheels opened near us and we love it!  This winter we have gone to the store some weeknights after dinner just to walk around and let the kids play. 
 Several photo ops.


  Weather permitting, we walk to pick Cooper up from school.  Afternoon preschool means no nap for Laney so she will occasionally fall asleep in random places after school.  
 Rusty and Alli got Laney a ticket to go see Frozen on Ice with them for her birthday.  She wanted to pick out her clothes so she chose a fancy dress and then Frozen flip flops and a Frozen headband.  Those are her binoculars from Chick-Fil-A ;).

 Think she was excited??

 This is why our strollers break.  I often find the girls in them pushing each other around.
 This girl is a messy eater!
 His favorite dinner is taco salads.
 Cooper and Laney went thru a (short) phase of wanting to rinse off all the plates.
 More Frozen!

 They watched a movie in my bed the night Laney was at Frozen.
 This girl loves to cuddle with me!
 Maybe this blog post should have been titled, Laney goes to Frozen on Ice!  I didn't realize how many pics I had!
And of course a souvenir slushie!

 My walking companions...clearly we don't go very far very fast.
 Piper discovered markers and loves to color!

 The car pick up line at Cooper's school is crazy.  I am so thankful we can walk to and from school, it's officially my favorite thing about our house.  This day it was raining so we loaded up and were in the car line at 3:15 to pick him up at 3:40!!!  And the line was already long!
