Watch Me Grow

Happy 1st Birthday Cooper!

Saturday, after the soccer game, we headed to Cooper's 1st Birthday Party!!

He's one of the cutest and happiest babies I've ever seen!

Check out this outift...it's adorable!

The girls still want to pick him up and hold him and he wants nothing to do with being still now days! He's ready to go...

How many flies can you catch on your birthday blower tongue...such a cute game!

Rylie couldn't play (people would be watching her and she couldn't have that)!

Musical Chairs!

Cooper with his sweet and pretty mommy, Melanie!

Happy Birthday to Cooper...Cake Time!

Present Time!!

I think he likes the car we got him...yay!!

Great party with a great little boy!!

Go Eliminators!

Katie got her goalie shirt and they allowed her to wear these funky socks that she wanted...so it must be official...she's the Eliminator's goalie!!

She really likes this position and is doing really well...

Get it Katie!! Yay!!

Oops...I guess you can't get them all!

Cute sister and MamaJan cheering them on!

They always find time to love on Maci and Remi!

Little chilly this morning!!

She works hard getting it way down the field!

My baby girl and me!

First Huntin' Trip of the Season...

This past weekend, Ryan went on the first hunting trip of the season.

Justin got a big buck...Congratulations!

Curtis got a hog...

Another cool game cam pic off Ryan's feeder camera! Two does fighting...I think it's so cool to catch this stuff!

Literacy Night

Each year at school, we have a literacy night during the book fair for families to come and enjoy activities at the school...

Kindergarten had cute scarecrow snacks!

Mrs. Trimble is helping Rylie above and Mrs. Cosper is giving Rylie a hard time below...she loves her so much!

Second Grade did caramel apples!!

Third grade did leaf head bands...MamaJan got to help the girls make theirs!

Mrs. Groom had the Smart Table and Smart Board going...the girls love both!!

Fun Night!!

This is what Rylie thinks of to do for Katie quite often. She really loves to leave notes lying around for her. This night she got her rinse cup, toothbrush (with toothpaste on it) and a note ready for her after she brushed her teeth so Katie would find it...

Rylie is becoming a reader!!

She knows many words as we're reading...she reads and I just sound out the words that she doesn't know for her. She loves it and asks to read a book or more every night! So Proud!

Game Time for the girls before bed time!

Ready for school one morning...it got chilly!

Sunday was such a good day! The girls played and played...here they are walking out to the back of the property to pick up and collect acorns for some kind of project...that I'm sure they'll think of soon!

I would love to know what all they talk about!!

Rylie spotted me taking pictures and turned to wave!

Running back in!

They got quite a bit!!

Little School Stuff...

Kindergarten got to start joining us each morning in the assembly we have everyday a couple of weeks ago! Rylie really enjoys hearing Mrs. Bowland, our school counselor, tell stories and teach about good character. She also has fun music to get everyone going! Rylie got called up to help hold signs for Mrs. Bowland...
