Superheros feeding cows

During our recent visit to Six Flags, Will and Trent became the VERY proud owners of Superhero capes!  They brought their capes to Nana and PawPaw's house and wore them most of the weekend...even while they fed the cows!

These cows are along my parents back fence and Trent absolutely LOVES to feed them!!!! I honestly can't think of anything that makes Trenton happier, than feeding the cows! 

Thank you PepsiCo!

Every year  Braden's Company (PepsiCo), hosts a private party at Six Flags, for their local employees and their families.  We always look forward to this event and it never disappoints! 

My FAVORITE part of this event, is the FREE chips and drinks!!!!  They have tables set up throughout the park that are fully stocked with chips and drinks.  Our stroller was LOADED with Cheetoes, Pretzels, Sun Chips, Cheese Puffs, Funyuns, Aquafina, and G2 Gatorade!!!  I got as much as Braden would allow.  

Kelsey is not in any of the pictures and that's because she met up with a friend and was GONE! 

Notice the many bags of chips in the stroller! 

Here is one of the tables set up with chips!

Will and Trent enjoying the swings!

 Trenton was so tired...he could not stay awake.

We had a so much FUN!  We are already looking forward to next year!  Thank You PepsiCo!!!

Will's First Day of Preschool x 2!!!

On Tuesday, September 1,2009, I was fully prepared to take Will for his first day of preschool!!!  I packed his lunch, (including a sweet note & smiley face on his napkin), dressed him super cute & stylish, put gel in his hair (we usually only do that for church), put his back pack on, and headed out the door!!  Daddy made plans to go in late (to work), so he was able to join us for this memorable occassion...Thank you, Daddy!

I was delighted to find such a great parking spot but wondered why I didn't notice any other kids.  I thought maybe I was early?? (which NEVER happens).  I thought maybe it does not start until 9:30am?? 
Well, I soon realized that school did not start until next Tuesday!!!  OOPS!!!

Will was so disappointed and I felt HORRIBLE!  I'm certain you can understand that having Daddy there, only made me feel 100 x's worse!!  It ended up being a good mistake because Will was able to meet his teacher and see his classroom.  He and Trent also enjoyed a picnic at the park - to help heal his broken heart!!

Here are pictures from Tuesday, September 8, 2009.

I am SO PROUD of you, Will!  Your teacher says you are "a sweet boy" and "her best student"!  You're not even 4 years old and you know the letters of the alphabet.  One of the worksheets sent home was a tree filled with letters and the instructions were to color only the letter A.  You had all if the A's colored and no other letter...IMPRESSIVE!!!  I wish I could take credit, but you learned your letters from playing a game on your Little Einstein laptop!  You're a SMART boy and a very fast learner (just like your Daddy)!  You come home singing new songs and teaching us words in Spanish.  I love watching you grow in knowledge!

Lake Belton

My parents recently bought a house on Lake Belton. Over the Labor Day weekend, my brother stopped by (he flew in from Atlanta, to visit college friends in Austin) for one night and we were all able to enjoy the lake. It as difficult to leave...We all had so much fun together! We are looking forward to spending MANY hot, sunny, summer days, on Lake Belton.

Will and Trent slept most of the time we were out on the boat. The boat ride made them so sleepy! It was wonderful to spend time with my brother, we don't get to see him enough. Samantha and Dylan, we missed you LOTS and hope to see you next time.
Thanks, Mom and Dad for sharing your new place with us...it was fun!
