More Birthday Fun

After celebrating with friends, Blake and I took J and K to see Dolphin Tale 2. They loved it! Then we met Mamaw, Papaw, Seth, Jules, and Luke at Osaka for supper. J loves it and we rarely eat there. It was a fun birthday!

We had a small family party Sunday after worship. Mom and I cooked lunch and J opened more presents. He got new boots from Blake and me. We also have been working on his bedroom. He will get to move into it next weekend! Mom and Dad got curtains and a horse canvas to go in his room. He was really excited about the work pants and coveralls from Seth and Jules. And Luke gave him a fishing rod and reel. I think he has had a pretty good birthday!

7 Years Old

My sweet boy going to sleep as a six year old for the last time. How is it possible that he is seven?!?!

After much thought and mind changing, J decided he wanted a "How to Train Your Dragon" party. It was a fun and easy party. The kids all had a great time and I love how everything turned out.

I found these bags at Target and filled them with stickers, glow swords and axes, and a little candy. They all made shields out of plastic plates too.

Our dragon cake was precious! Thank you Amanda for the idea.

Letting Dobber Go

Remember this little guy? Dobber is growing. He has gotten to big for me to be in the back yard with him because he likes to butt my belly. He needs to make some friends so we moved him to the pasture. He will still get his two bottles a day but now he can learn to eat grass and hay like the other calves. 

We tied a ribbon around his neck so we could find him easier but it didn't stay on long.

The cows came to meet him!

First Day of First Grade

I cannot believe my sweet boy is starting first grade! I think I'm more emotional this year than I was last year. He is very excited and is going to love his new teacher, Mrs. H. She is awesome!

Pancakes and sausage for breakfast

This little girl is going to get lonely! But not for long, baby sister will be here soon!

Bowling

We took our youth group bowling and out to eat. They are such a good group of kids and my two have a lot of fun with them!

We had so much fun bowling with the big kids, we decided to go again. Mamaw and Papaw came as well as Jules and Luke. Seth decided to stay home. It was a fun family night before school starts!

Master Artists

Mamaw brought over a few drop clothes and bottles of paint this morning. We squirted paint and used brushes to create some pretty awesome paintings. The kids had paint from head to toe and loved it! 

K wrote an "m" all by herself. She said, "I wrote you, Mom."

Such a smart baby!
