1st Day of School ~ 2nd Grade

Brynley started 2nd grade today, which is really hard for me to believe! 

We had her orientation yesterday.  She met her teacher Mrs. Anderson and she seemed very nice.  I think she's really going to put Brynley to work!

 First day pictures ~ notice it is 7:00 am and Mason already has drumsticks in his hands!!

 Daddy and his girl!  I like this picture because it still lets me see how little she is!

 Have to get that attitude going.

 Me and my little lady!

Mason's 1st Soccer Practice

Our little man finally had his first chance at a practice last night.  Jeff and I were nervous for no reason, it all went really well!  He was so cute I just wanted to eat him up!!  He listened to his coaches and followed directions really well.  We were super proud of him!

 

Isn't he cute!!

He was so excited to run his laps.

 Bryn was impressed with his flexibility!

 Score!

 Trying to defend his goal.

 And a little of the REAL Mason!

 Him and his buddy.  He was out there telling him about roller coasters (imagine that)!

 And Bryn kept herself busy by decorating herself with our chair bags!  She said she might want to play next year.

Family Pics

We tried for some updated family pics last weekend.  There were a few that turned out really well.  Thanks for helping mom and dad!!

 

This was one of my favorites!

 

 We had a couple from this pose where the kids and Jeff were smiling great and I ruined them with closing my eyes!

 Our little pirate!

 And our princess!

 This was one of my favorite family ones.

 Yay, we're done!!



State Fair ~ 2013

We took two trips to the State Fair this year.  The kids are so into country music and they had some great acts on the free stage, so we let them each pick someone they wanted to go hear.  Mason chose Greg Bates and Bryn chose Jana Kramer.

 

The kids and Jeff enjoy their fried deserts, they just make my stomach hurt looking at them.  Here are the kids with their fried oreos!

Checking out the inside of a tractor.

 Planting their seeds at the Helping Hands Farm.

 Driving their tractors, Bryn has pretty much out grown them!

 Some more fried food ~ corndogs of course!

 Gigi went with and got to enjoy Greg Bates, too!

 Ready for the concert.

 This was our second trip.  Waiting on Jana Kramer!

 Can you see her in the background?  The kids stood for the whole concert and sang along.  Brynley loved it!
