Even though it's sooo hot, summer's over....

We took the kids to the fair for our summer finale.  We all had a blast....
The girls are growing up.  We took them two years ago and they were content on the calm and "baby" rides.  Two years later a different story.  They were all about the thrill rides--still age appropriate of course.


It's a sad moment for parents when you have to persuade your children to ride the once loved and now "too slow and babyish" carousel.

Houston joined in the fun on a train ride.

We ate some yummy and healthy fair food.

Notice the always stylish Houston is wearing a smocked fair scene on his outfit.

Of course we had to take time for silly pictures.

Our big girls fed an elephant and weren't afraid.


This is our elephant friend.

It was an appropriate ending to a wonderful summer.  We're all ready for Fall so we can have some relief from the heat!

Houston's first day of school

Houston has been in school for 2 weeks now and he is really enjoying his class and teachers.
He was very proud to show me his new backpack.  

Complete with his name monogrammed of course--the school provided this treat so his mama didn't have to do it!

He is going two days a week and goes to music and movements classes.  They are already working on his letters--they work on 3 letters a month.  In movement class they are learning balance.

Catching up

I don't know why I find it so hard to find time to update this blog!  I'll try to do a post in the near future of some random projects that have been taking so much time, but in the meantime.....

There has been some cheering for the Tide....

more fun on the Lake Martin....
and more visits from our "deer" friends.  Hopefully more updates coming sooner rather than later.

In case you didn't know.....

Fruit snacks will always make Houston happy.....

Seriously, they go with him everywhere he goes!

Also, you needed to know that these are the cutest ballerinas ever!

Can they strike a pose or what?  They are back in ballet for the year and loving it already!
