Preston's School Picture 2012

Mainly, I am posting this picture because my blog serves also as my "scrapbook" because there is NO WAY I am sitting down with a glue stick and scissors to properly scrapbook.  Maybe one day....

How CUTE is my big guy on his first official school picture day?  I am quite impressed with Tim Garlington, and will always remember this one.  If you are a family type and you would like one of these let me know :)

Annual Pumpkin Patch Pics

I am literally like a kid at Christmas when I get my files from the FABULOUS Crystal Garcia's annual Pumpkin Patch shoot.  We have been with her since the beginning...and I think she just keeps getting better! Love these pics...and love these boys!  Enjoy :)

My little skeletons...

I sure do love these spooky guys!

Family Day

So glad we made the trip down to Alexandria today for a little family time!  I am literally exhausted from our 2:30 AM bedtime last night after the AWESOME Tech game--but we all still had a good day.  Preston was having the time of his life with Read, and was NOT wanting to leave.  John Cole was loving all of the attention he was getting. I was proud to get these pictures...and know I will treasure them always.

Hope you have a great week!

Saturday at the Joe....

Even though I think it may have been the COLDEST October 6th on record, we made the best of it yesterday for the Bulldogs home game.  I did, however, decide at Preston's CHILLY soccer game yesterday morning that John Cole just did not need to be out in the elements and scrambled to find a sitter at the last minute.  It was the right decision because P lasted into the 4th quarter before leaving the game--which Tech won to go 5-0 for the season.  How 'bout them DAWGS!  The true test, however, will be next weekends test against Texas A & M  in Shreveport.  I can't wait!  Hope you are enjoying this chilly weather.  I sure am :)  More later....

Getting in the game...

Sorry I don't have more pics--but since it rained the entire time we were at the soccer field this morning I found it more challenging than it was worth to hold John Cole, an umbrella and take pictures.  So, this is what I got :)

What a difference a week makes!  Still don't know why P refused to play last week but he seemed to enjoy it this week...so THIS was our first soccer game :)  P even got in at goalie for a brief period. We rewarded him with a trip to McDonald's after the game.  (We NEVER do that!!) All in all, I think he had fun and that is the whole point.  Go Spartans!

Nursery Rhyme Parade

What a fun Friday morning we have had!  We started our day with the whole family (Daddy too!) attending LPECC's nursery rhyme parade.  It was so much fun and I really enjoyed seeing the creative costumes.  Preston was the mouse who "ran up the clock."  He waved at everyone on the "parade route" through the parking lot and was EATING UP the attention:)  John Cole enjoyed the parade as well, and was waving and clapping to the music.

Afterwards, Mrs. Donna's class went in and the children were to say the rhyme for the character they were dressed up as.  I was SO PROUD of my P as he stood and said "Hickory Dickory Dock" with gusto!  After we left, John Cole and I attended MOPS then had lunch with Daddy at Counter Culture.  John Cole has had a fever virus this week but is doing MUCH better :)

Happy Friday Everyone!
