Lake Conroe

I forgot these pictures when I did my Summer Wrap up post. 

In August, we took a trip down to the Woodlands to visit DD. JJ, Barrett and Madison were in town so we met up with them and spent the day at JJ's parent's beautiful house on Lake Conroe.

It was such a fun day!!

They had a wave runner 

and a fun tube we got to ride on.

Carson was in heaven!!

We had a yummy lunch.

And spent lots of time in the pool!

Thank you Kinley's for the super fun day!!

First Day of school 2013

Carson and Avery are in "older preschool" this year. That means a new hall with new teachers and no naps (at school that is).

We also made the decision to separate them into different classes this year. It made me a little sad, but it definitely has been good for them. 

Carson is in Ms. Bass' class.

And Avery's in Mrs. Ricken's class.

They both had some friends in their classes this year. So hopefully they won't be missing each other too much.

Double trouble!!

Summer wrap up 2013

I am finally finding some time to catch up!

We had a fun summer this year.

I've never been a huge fan of summer, but this year was actually pretty fun!

I think partly because I wasn't pregnant, nauseous and tired like I was last year. And partly because I made the very wise decision to sign my kids up for the "summer camps" they offered at our church. It was Tues/Wed/Thurs from 9-2 for 6 weeks of the summer. Each week was a different theme and the kids loved it! And so did mommy!! One week they did a "busy bee music camp." They learned songs during the week then did a performance for the parents on Thursday. It was really cute!

Avery also took a ballet camp for a few weeks with her friend Jillian.

Practicing her arabesque.

Other than our trip to Destin and the summer camps, we just spent a lot of time playing. 

There was lots of bike riding,

lots of swimming,

a couple of sick days,

And lots of creative play.

We went to the "Summer adventures at Fair Park"

And had lots of fun playdates!

We also spent a little time at DD's while daddy was out of town for a wedding!

What a fun summer!!

Cade 7 months

Hi, I'm Cade!

And I am 7 months old now.

I'm such a happy boy,

And a busy boy! I'm almost crawling now. I scoot and army crawl all around the living room. I don't like to stay where mommy puts me. There's just too much to see!

I love to swing outside

And, I love taking baths

I really love when my mommy wears me. I like to be held a lot. You could say that I'm a little spoiled!

I'm doing a great job with solids. So far I've had oatmeal, sweet potatoes, peas, bananas, avocado, and pears.

I love to eat!

I have my two bottom teeth (finally...after what seemed like weeks of teething)

I still nap in my swing, but I'm starting to get a little crazy in it.

I'm still wearing size 3 diapers and 6-12 month clothes. My favorite things are my muslin blankets, my hands and my feet, and of course my mommy! I love to watch my crazy brother and sister run around, and I love to put everything in my mouth, especially things I'm not supposed to eat (like paper and plastic). I am one happy boy!
