Catching Up (Again!)

Once again we have some catching up to do with the pictures!  I'm already behind again but hope to catch up soon.

It's a boy!!!  We found out in August, and we were really surprised (and excited!).


Heading out for a rare date night, thanks to my mom for watching the girls.


The kids really enjoyed swimming this summer.



Sydney's ABCs


And a rainbow


BJ was out of town, so the girls and I had a fun weekend by ourselves.



We went to the Saturday classes at The Little Gym


Grocery shopping isn't too exciting, but I did get the car cart, which I never do (mean mom) because the basket is too small and they are too hard to steer.



Trying on hats at Target


Raleigh went to live with Neeme and Papa, since the girls still weren't crazy about her.  She has a much better dog life now- look how happy she is!


Potty training time!  We thought Jenna was so ready, but she has a mind of her own.  These were the only two stickers we did.  Turns out she is not motivated at all by stickers, treats, or anything else.  She just had to decide to do it.  She did great within a week, but the first few days were pretty long.


Getting serious about popping bubble wrap




First day of the new preschool class for Sydney!  She was really excited and has loved her class.


Water heater box turned into a fort!


Helping Daddy with a little landscaping



Trip to Home Depot on kids craft Saturday.  Sydney really enjoyed it, and she made this paper football goal thing.

 

Happy birthday to BJ- 35!  The girls and I decorated the house after BJ left in the morning, and I told them to keep it a surprise.  When BJ picked them up, Jenna said, "One time, we put balloons, and party hats and horns on the table!"  It will be a while til they can keep a secret.


Dress up fun



When we were in San Angelo for the weekend, it rained a lot.  We went to the mall on an errand and to get the kids out of the house.  Jenna isn't familiar with the mall since we don't really shop there at home.  She kept calling it the "meatball"!




An attempt at a family picture


We went to BJ's parents 60th birthday party- lots of fun with family, friends, and dancing.  Sydney had so much fun with her cousins.  They were in charge of the guest book, so they greeted everyone and dragged them over to the sign in book!


Chuck and Diana raised a lot of money for the food bank as part of their celebration.  Here is their canned food "cake"!






Glow necklaces kept the kids entertained for a really long time


One Sunday we were needing to get out of the house, and we stopped by Academy, which turned out to be a great idea.  The girls tried out the golf clubs on the putting green,



 And pretended to test drive the Barbie jeep.  They also enjoyed the turkey calls and the duck decoys!


Every time we got in the car that day, Jenna would take off her shoe and sing into it.  ???  Weird kid!


The girls look so cute in these Longhorn dresses, but I haven't been able to get a very good pic yet.


Sydney stopped by work with me for a little bit on a Sunday.  Plenty of candy, white boards, and highlighters- what's not to like?
