GO PIRATES!!!

College football has begun and brother could not be happier!!!

Daddy and Brother spent this afternoon in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium wearing purple and cheering on the Pirates!!

After the game brother got up close with the players.  He is so cute learning their names and numbers so this is extra cool for him.  They players are so nice too...giving fives, posing and he even got a wristband!  Pretty cool stuff for our guy! 

The two most handsome Pirates there!

(I can say that because Granddaddy and Uncle Lewis weren't there!)

NY Mets

Brother started fall baseball this month and tonight was his first game.

His new team team is the NY Mets.

Our Little Slugger

Up to his first bat of the season.

On first with the best assistant coach around...pretty cute too!!

He was proud that he got on base every time up to bat!

He even got to be catcher!

The girls had a blast too!

My Sunshine in the Sunset!

It is fun to have these family times together!

Jump, Jump!

Lil sis brings us joy every single day. We are also having fun taking her to the same places and activities as big sis and brother have gone. This month she started taking gymnastics in the same gym as they did with the same instructor. This is an awesome opportunity for our little monkey!!! We pull up and she starts saying "jump, jump, I jump, jump!"

She is still figuring out the reason for sitting at the beginning...Mrs. Jeri is so sweet to her!

This is all new to us because big sis and brother just did as they were told!

Here she is jump, jumping!!

Loves the foam pit!

She so strong and good on the bars...this was not a strength for the others!

It is also neat to see their unique personalities emerge!

This was supposed to come up last...so tired and full of sweetness!!

Again look at her go...this is the bear walk.

And of course she had to have the biggest ball in the gym!

So thankful for this time with her and the healthy habits she is forming!

Motivation!

I cannot remember a time when big sis set out to accomplish something that it didn't happen. Once she sets a goal she quickly achieves it!

Her Y Tribe is going to do a fall bike ride and she didn't want to take her Disney Princess bike. So daddy told her to learn to ride without training wheels and we'd see about a new bike.

Well she did it! Not only did she master the riding part but also the "take off."

We will now move to braking and bike searchig!

Brother and lil sis had a great time watching and playing!

Preschool

Today lil little sis followed big sis and brother's footsteps to preschool.

I pray she can have a wonderful experience just as they did.

Our preschool is Christ centered and provides an awesome learning environment!

I am honored to join her! I am so thankful that we get to go together!

God is good and always provides what we need in His perfect time!

I tried for the traditional driveway picture...she just get so distracted!

She was super excited!!

And apparently had a busy day!

SO thankful for this season of life!

Meet the Teacher

Lil sis has had a busy week. While mommy has been getting her classroom ready, lil sis has been with her teacher from summer camp. So today when we went to meet her preshool teacher she was a little confussed...as this picture shows! I love the eyes!!

She go very excited to see babies. She loves to "play babies" so this is perfect for her!!

And yes the little distroyer went straight to work!!

Bringing mommy something special!

She sat for a long time listening to books! I might need to bring these ladies home!

I am excited to see what God has in store for lil sis this year! I have a feeling its all wonderful. She brings such pure joy to our family. Her smile is perfect and she loves with her whole heart! One of the best feelings ever is for her to put her arms around my neck for a hug and then feel that gentle pat on the back...sweetness!!!
