A Hiking We Will Go

We have a rather new state park in Coweta County. I had been hearing things about it now and then but it wasn't till I started driving Kayla to Carrollton for soccer practices that I paid much attention to it. I kept seeing signs for it and we thought we would take the boys over for some light hiking and a picnic.
The boys and daddy absolutely love to hike and go in the woods. You won't see any pics of Kayla on this trip because she can't stand to go. Instead of listening to her complain we took the boys while she was at a friend's house. Kayla cannot stand bugs so I guess she didn't quite turn in to the tomboy Jason was trying to make her into!!

The boys had a fun time collecting leave and acorns off the ground. We had quite the collection of that stuff this fall. They want to keep it forever and ever but we keep it until they forget about it and then I get rid of it.

Kaden showing off his collections!

Crossing over the bridge! The state park is really nice and clean. We may have to trying camping here in the spring. How convienent to only have to drive 30 min. to go camping.

The Adventures Of Friendly Frog

This is friendly frog. This is a friend that was sent home with us for the weekend from Kaden's pre-k class. Friendly likes to go places with the child and then we are supposed to take pics and write and tell the class all the adventures we took him on. They get to have friendly when they have been especially good that week at school. He was sent home with us on a busy weekend! We are off to the Georgia Tech game! Go Jackets! Bo bulldog fan here!

Kaden had a t-ball game and Friendly came to cheer him on!

We took him out to The Mix for frozen yogurt with all kinds of fun toppings!

Friendly got to watch the crazy hibachi guy cook but Kaden and Friendly stuck with good ol' chicken nuggets.

He even got to try out our trampoline and have fun with some of Kaden's friends. Kaden loved having Friendly come home with him and get to take him to some fun places. ( Jenny maybe a good idea for you and your preschool kids.)

We're Ramblin Wrecks From Georgia Tech!

We went to the Georgia Tech/ Maryland game this past Saturday.

Kaden got his picture taken with BUZZ!

Who knows what the good word is?

We sat right by the cheerleaders and the players. We had fantastic seats and it was a fun game even though it was hot.

Cheering on the Jackets!

The players are so big in person. It ended up being a close game but the jackets held on to their lead to stay undefeated. 6-0 Baby!

We tried to get Kayla's picture taken with these crazy guys but she wouldn't do it.

The Fair Came To Town

It is that time of year again! We love going and taking the kids to the fair.

This is future bribery for Keaton. He still doesn't love the fast rides and all that.

This was the school bus ride and Kadenw as perfectly happy until the ride started and then he was scared. He rode it last year but for some reason it freaked him out at first. Once he realized he was okay he stopped crying and started enjoying it.

I cannot do these spinny rides anymore since I've had kids. Jason rode this one and made everyone sick by spinning it like crazy.Kaden riding the bumper boats.

Apparently, my friend's little boy got kicked off this ride because he was splashing the other kids. Too funny!

Kaden just loved this pig and insisted on having his picture taken with it.

Flag Football, T-Ball, and Soccer, OH MY!!

Keaton played flag football this summer. His team was "The Eagles".

He had a good time playing and it gave him something to do while waiting on soccer to start.

These girls were the cheerleaders for his team. They were so cute and fun to watch. Keaton was so surprised to see cheerleaders during the first game. He got distracted watching them!!

Kaden is getting ready to play in his first T-ball game. He is so excited he gets to play sports now instead of just watching Kayla and Keaton. He has been waiting a long time.

He is so cute in his little uniform. Boston Red Sox is his team and he gets so excited when Jason is watching Sports Center and he hears them talk about the Red Sox :)

He is getting really good at hitting the ball when the coach pitches it to him. In t-ball they get 3 pitches from their coach and if they don't hit it then they get 2 tries at the tee. Unfortunately, he had bad luck at the beginning of the season and his coach has hit him twice with the ball. It is not a soft ball. Both coach and Kaden have been traumatized. His coach has felt so bad. The first time he gave hima dollar and the next time he gave him the "game ball". Kaden is afraid to stand right over the plate to hit it now but we are working on it and who can blame him.

Baseball Ready!

ISn't he cute?!!

This is the only pic I have of Kayla this season playing soccer. She is now on a select team. Basically that means she has to try out and then gets placed on a team and we travel a good bit. It also costs alot more than rec but they train during off seasons as well to stay in shape and keep their skills. Some of her games have been a couple of hours away. Not an easy feat for us with 3 kids playing lots of different sports but we felt to give her a good chance for school teams and to raise her playing level that this was the best option.

Back to School!

Keaton on his first day of second grade. His teacher's name is Ms. Fambro. He loves to learn about science and social studies and he often brings one of those 2 text books home with him so he can read it for fun while he is on the bus in the afternoons.

His favorite friends in his class is Angelo and Mohammed.

Here is the big 8th grader. She is ruling the school this year and next year she will be in highschool. We can't believe how fast the time has gone.

Kayla is trying out for the school soccer team and her fav teacher is her Social Studies teacher, Ms. Nix.

Keaton's Bowling Party!

Keaton's wish was for a Pokemon cake for his birthday party this year. His wish was my command!!

All his friends, siblings, and cousins singing Happy Birthday to him.

He is getting to be a good little bowler and no longer needs the bumpers up.

The kids had a good time bowlong, eating, running around, showing off their dance moves, and playing in the arcade.

Good thing there wasn't a ton of people in the bowling alley at this time because the kids ran around alot inbetwwen their turns.

The birthday boy showing off his moves! Happy Birthday Keaton!
