Softball season has started! Maddie had her 1st two games this past Saturday. I have never seen her to excited about something! She absolutly LOVES it. And, as clumsy and spastic as she is, she is a real natural.....moves her feet and stops the ball at all costs (face included)! Makes her momma proud! Her team is called the PopTarts! How cute is that??!!

Been a long time coming...

Obviously school has started and I don't have tons of time on my hands. It has been a crazy year, but I have a good class and enjoy their personalities. Maddie and Colton are still loving their school and actually get upset with us when we pick them up earlier than they would like.

I also started selling Pampered Chef in September. It is alot of fun and we are enjoying all of the great kitchen gadgits in our house, especially Adam! If you ever need anything just send me an email.

Here are some pictures from this week. Mindy came over and helped carve a pumpkin. They loved doing this and were proud of it. We are excited that Mindy is moving into the neighborhood and will be so close to us. Thursday is the "big day."

This year we were Transformer Bumblebee and Thumbilina Barbie. We celebrated the night with Pete, Diana, Colin (Robin) & Ava (Catwoman). We started with a pizza picnic in the front yard and wend trick or treating and got tooooo much candy. It was a fun night and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We will be turning 5 in 10 more days! That is CRAZY!!!! Time is flying by and we are LOVING every minute of it! Enjoy! :0)

This and That

Today was our 1st day of "big kid" school. They are in a program that has 1/2 teacher's kids and 1/2 special needs kids. It is a really neat program and they loved their 1st day! I was the one crying when I left the room. I am so proud of them!

They got to pick out their own backpacks (Hello Kitty & Dinosaur Train) and shoes. Yes, they both light up and Maddie's have alot of "bling", just what she wanted!

Last week Maddie finally started ballet/tap and had a blast (not that you can tell in the picture). I guess she is finally old enough and really liked it. We shall see how it goes. Adam is trying to talk Colton into doing karate. They are going to visit a class next week.

Summer Wind at the Beach

Last week we made our annual trip to the beach for a Martin Week at the Beach. This was our house we rented this year, Summer Wind. It was perfect for our entire family! Thanks to MawMaw for a wonderful week! This is a long post....too many great pictures. Thanks to Katie for taking the first couple even though C & M weren't interested in being models today. Bribery didn't even work!

Craft time: headbands and coloring wooden race cars.

Trying our hand at crabbing. We did pretty good, but no keepers.

These are our cousins Will and Emma from Arkansas. We ate at The Purple Cow, where everything is purple, even the toilets!

One night we got to go to the local putt-putt place, where they only accept cash!

Flying a kite with PawPaw. Too bad we chose the only night with no wind.

1st Tube Ride

Last week Adam had to work in Dallas so me and the kids got to tag along. We stayed with family and got to spend lots of time with our cousins who we only get to see a couple of times a year. We had a great time and thank you for letting us invade your house for a week! On Friday we got to go out on the boat and ride the tube. Madilyn didn't care for the tube riding, but loved swimming in the lake while the boat was stopped. Colton loved riding in the tube, even by himself!

This was hilarious, Colton held on for dear life! After they fell off the tube, Colton was still holding on to Adam's life jacket and was proud of himself.
