Future Aggie

Now this little girl may be a future aggie. She adores both Jamie and Kelcie, however,
she loves A&M and is interested in Kelcie going to college, what college is, etc.... (sorry Jamie:))

She asked Jeremy if A&M had a playground and he replied, "Yes, they call it the Rec Center"
Playground = Check
A&M=Check

Of course I think we have the most beautiful kids, but so does every mother and rightly so!

Kennedy is so photogenic and I could stare at her pictures for hours.
She is such a beautiful, sweet little girl, our baby girl!

Love you!

Who Wouldn't Love This?!!?!

We take pictures family pictures once a year and kid photos on birthdays. This was at Kennedy's 5th birthday shoot. Jaxon kept telling me "Momma I want the blue one and pointed to Kennedy." Blue means maroon and Kennedy got an awesome A&M shirt from Doug, Dorothy and Kelcie and he wore her shirt in his pictures. Neither one of us went to A&M, nor do we "bleed" a certain color except purple for the Bears around here, so College Station sounds great to mommy, nice and close to home!

Chillin' at Home

We have two more weekends at home until soccer starts. We have enjoyed the weather and our new home.  There is plenty to do with unpacking and repacking, but we are doing our best to not let this get the best of us. We spent alot of time in our Jammie's this weekend, colored, painted, got dirty, laughed alot, enjoyed a visit from MaMa and PaPa, and enjoyed just being at home. Our weeks are full with dance, gymnastics, and now our 1st soccer practice this Tuesday!

1st Spelling Bee

Kennedy loves TK! She is changing and growing socially and academically. It is amazing to me how much she is learning. Jeremy and I both as a teacher and therapist push her positively all the time and want her to learn about success, failure, and have the confidence to do anything that she wants to do. This week she was one of the top three in her spelling bee:)  I don't remember learning my vowels or spelling at 5!

Can you tell she is proud?



Happy Birthday Logan

Logan's 2nd birthday was a hit in our books. What kid wouldn't love a petting zoo and pony rides? Logan is I would say Jaxon's "best friend"...whatever that constitutes at 2 years of age. He loves Logan and was so excited to celebrate with him at his birthday.

Jaxon and "Bambi'
at least that is what he said

Kennedy and Brooklyn

The best we could do with two active boys:)

The joke is we always have birthday party...that's what happens when you have lots of "little friends" and a large family. I can bet I know what party Jaxon may be asking for when he turns 3!!

Grace Goes Texan

Yes...more horses but this time at church. Grace went Texan on Sunday and there were fun times to be had by all. What a great way to start the week!

Party Central

Party # 1....not really a party but the kids went to the Washington County Fair with MaMa and PaPa and had a blast which means that mommy and daddy had a free night.  Party # 2 was Ian's birthday. Fun was had by all with the pinata and Cars themed party.

Karaoke

Saturday we went to dinner and did a little karaoke at Fajita Jacks. Not I......but the kids and Tiffani. The Schramm Clan finally got to meet Mr. Keith......what a great guy! We have been blessed to have some incredible friends and I can add the Price Family to the list.  

1st Friday Night Game

Our first Friday night game. We met the Gary's at Rancho and had some Mexican food and headed to the game for a HUGE bear VICTORY!!!

Busy Schedules

I can admit that I do like hanging out at home and enjoy my three day weekends....that soon will all come to a stop. With the beginning of the school years starts Tuesday 5:15 gymastics class, Thursday dance class (which is at Kennedy's school whew:)), and Saturday morning soccer which starts up next Saturday.

Kennedy LOVES school and has her 1st Spelling B in one week---the colors- green, blue, purple, yellow, pink, orange, brown, black, white, and numbers--1 to 10. I don't remember learning that at 5! She is so excited and we are loving to watch her blossom and grow socially, academically, and spiritually.

Daddy's First Game

Getting a Ride from Mr. Jess
Coachs Kid Perk

It's game day YA'LL! Daddy's season officially started this past week with a scrimmage. The kids, and I, can admit that I enjoy football season....the night lights, time with friends, watching kids learn what TEAM means, and being apart of what Jeremy loves.

Meet Dollie and Chloe

Dollie

Chloe

Yes there are cats.......and TWO of them! Kennedy has been asking for a cat for awhile now and we decided that this weekend was the time to grant the wish. We did find out that it was National Pet Adoption this weekend. We went looking for one cat at the animal shelter and at a good price:). I grew up having a at that happened to find our home and make it his or her own. 

So, we get to the animal shelter and there are animals everywhere, most of which had been fostered in a home already looking for the perfect adoptive home. They offered us one cat for $65, then 2 for $100. A quick "no" for 2, then a deal we couldn't pass up....2 for $65 spayed and all shots complete.  It was so funny when the women holding the cats gave one to me to hold and asked Jeremy if he wanted to hold one, and he polite said "no!" and then took it.

In the end we came home with DOLLIE and CHLOE who each had a couple of name changes by the end of Saturday. We are working to have them outdoors. They have slept in the comfort of the utility room and have been so good. We took them outdoors Sunday and they cried to get in the house.....not a good sign, and after lounging out back we moved to the porta coche in which they  jumped in my car by the engine and sat:).  I am not sure what we have gotten ourselves into......the kids are in HEAVEN and the cats have been GOOD but they will be better outside in a couple of days.

Elefun

Fun with Friends

We had the Carr's over Sunday after our household had mended from a nasty virus. The best thing about being in our new home is entertaining which we like to do. We enjoyed dinner, drinks, and the kids had lots of play time. Thank God for great friends! 

And the WORK Begins

So the work has begun! We, Jeremy:), is beginning to tackle the outdoor work at the house. We had 3 loads of dirt brought in and our neighbor let us borrow his small tractor so that Jeremy could smooth it all out. He spent most of Saturday outdoors and the kids loved riding with daddy.

Gotta NEW Ride

Jaxon enjoying Kennedy's new ride and new bday shirt

Even though it is 105 outside the kids are still enjoying the outdoors. Kennedy had her 1st scooter run in the house and then we took a spin outdoors. She loves her new scooter.
