Life :)

Walking along Turkey Creek :)

 Seriously, the boy has issues.... :)









 So, after forcing him to eat carrots....and then finding out he was actually having problems swallowing them (Mom of the Year award goes to me), I let him pick out a new hat :) He chose this awesome Batman fedora. In my defense, he doesn't like a lot of food. Meals are ALWAYS an issue in our house. I always have to put a timer on for his meal time. So, when he started telling me (seriously after one tiny bite) that he just hated carrots and couldn't swallow them, I told him to take smaller bites and try a little harder. Then his eye started to swell shut. Way to go me. I didn't actually buy him a hat because I felt bad, but we did happen to be in Target the next day. And he has been really wanting a new hat for awhile :)
 We love building tents! Is there anything better than watching a favorite movie in an awesome tent??
 Our first day of kindergarten!!!! She was SOOOOOO excited!!! She got to ride the bus and everything :)



 It wasn't too difficult letting her get on the bus........
 But when the bus pulled away, taking my baby girl with it....I might have welled up just a bit!!!! She was sitting in the very front seat, just beaming!!
 I had to make these cute owls for one of my classes :)
 They turned out pretty cute!
 Alex loves dancing around singing polka dot afro!
 We went over to Jacksonville this past weekend to visit Cousin Erica. Her baby, Abigail, is so fantastically cute!!!

 While we were there, we went to a cabin on a lake. The kids had so much fun. I was really happy the snakes didn't decide to come out and play!!!





 My baby girl lost her first tooth the other day!!!! Let me tell you, this was one fabulously excited little girl!!!!!
 We see this guy almost every morning as we walk to the bus stop.

 We had our annual cowboy night last night. This year, only Alex was involved since Cara no longer goes to the same school. He had such a blast!!!

We have had a very busy, but successful, first three weeks of school! Cara is adjusting to Kindergarten quite nicely. She loves going and loves her teacher. Her teacher is focusing on a lot of writing, which I love! Cara has homework she does every night...she doesn't like this as much, but it is life!! Alex is loving PreK. He got a new teacher this year, and she is fantastic!!! I was a little worried because he has been with the same teacher for the last two years. He gets a little wonky when his routine is messed with, but the new teacher is so awesome!! Alex has actually made his first friend too!!! He is kind of a loner, but he has actually made a friend that he loves and just waits for him to arrive at school :) My school is....well....school :) The bachelor program is filled with a ton of group projects and homework!! I, thankfully, only have class one day a week, but that day is a long day 9-6. I will start student teaching in the next few weeks too. Blake is super busy at work as well!!! Between all of our schedules, I see why people don't get a lot done during the week!! Life is busy, but it is good.
