More Fun :)

Here are some more pictures of the kids :) I am finding that I am bit perturbed by the image quality Blogger presents... these pics look a bit grainy, but they are in fact some of my clearest pictures!! Annoying!!!

Out On a Nice Day :)

Since it has been SO beautiful over the last couple of days, I have been taking the kids to the playground a lot and going on "explorations". I've brought the camera along and have gotten some fun shots of the kids.  These were taken in the woods around the neighborhood. Preston made a TP out of sticks and Lila just had fun picking up random sticks! I wish this weather would last forever, but I know it's so short-term!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch last weekend in Va Beach. It was a great day- a bit brisk at first, but then it warmed up some. They had free hay rides (free is alwys great!), pumpkins, lot's of animals, moon bounces, food, and playgrounds. The kids had so much fun :)  The pics aren't that great, b/c of the dust I had on my camera, but they still tell our story! (I have since gotten the camera cleaned!!)

Preston's First Day of Kindergarten

OMG! Preston started Kindergarten!! I swear, I really feels like I was just dreading his first day of preschool- and here I was, dreading his first day of Kindergarten!! He did a great job though. He was all afraid and sad, like I thought he would be. He braved the morning, held his haed up high, and got on that big, yellow school bus!!

Here he is in the morning- you can see just how sad and scared he was....

Daddy, Lila, and I went to stalk the school! We were waiting for him there when he got off the bus to say good-bye again and take his picture! It was an awful, rainy, cold morning- but well worth the wait :)

Mommy and L.A. waitingin the rain for him.

A bit out of order.. but thi is him as he was getting on the bus :)

Here he is- big man on campus!

Daddy and Pres after a long first day :)

Lila Anne Turns 2!!!!

On August 31st, my baby turned 2!! Where did the time go? We had a wonderful day for her birthdya party, which was at Grandma and Grand Dad's house! The kids had tons of fun with squirt bottles, the sand box, and just being kids, running in the yard :) Here are a few favorites from her party!
