 Brianna's kindergarten class gingerbread play! She had to learn her line and she said it great.

 Brady's Christmas chapel at preschool. He did a great job singing.

 Both kids enjoyed their school Christmas parties!

 Making Christmas cookies for Santa.

 At Grandpa Jim's for Christmas Eve! They loved seeing family and getting presents!

 Christmas morning they were so excited to get what they asked Santa for- a microphone and an angry birds game

 Then we went over to Uncle Chris's later that day for more fun, birthday cake for Jesus!

 We also took the kids to Dinosaur World over the Christmas break! They loved digging for fossils there and going on hikes at the State Park.

November

Here are a few things that have been going on this month:

 

Here is a picture of Brianna's kindergarten class on their field trip to the Mayborn museum! Brianna was excited to ride on the school bus there!

Here we are at Disney on Ice! We loved it!!

Brady got to go on a field trip to Mayborn museum with his preschool class, he had fun with his friends!

Here is Brianna at her thanksgiving lunch with her friends Kelsey and Navey. She loves all her sweet school friends!

Brianna is 6 years old!

Brianna is excited to be 6 years old! She wanted to have a princess Leia party - she loves star wars! She is doing great in kindergarten and she loves going to school. She has lots of friends and she says the girls are her sisters. She also enjoys going to church, ballet, and choir. Her favorite things to do are creating artwork, playing with her puppy Okie and playing with her brother. She is always the first one awake in the morning and ready to go.

She got to do crafts at her birthday party with her friends Campbell, Callie, Navey, Mckayla.

She wanted a cookie cake this year and she had 15 friends come to her party.

It was a costume party and we played games in the gym. The darth vader pinata didn't last long though- Brady knocked it out on the second swing!

We love our little princess Leia and we are so proud of her too!

October

Brady had fun at his preschool field trip to the farm.

He has a great teacher and class!

 Pumpkin Patch :)

 Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker for Halloween!

 We went trick or treating at my brother's house and the kids got a hay ride on the trailer!

Having Fun

Here is a picture of Brady playing soccer - his favorite thing to do right now! He was nervous at first, but now he is playing great and he has been making goals at the last few games!

 

 Here is Brady's preschool class meeting the firemen for safety day! He is doing a great job in preschool and even learning Spanish words! He goes to preschool 3 half days. I love having quality time with Brady while Brianna is in school, we have lots of fun together.

Brianna has gotten to go to a Drill Team dance clinic and a Cheerleader cheer clinic this month! She had so much fun dancing with the high school girls! And she got to dance at the football game!

Brianna is also doing great in Kindergarten! Her teacher says she loves having her in her class!
Jeremy started his new job downtown at the Waco ISD admin central office. He is a district instructional specialist and he loves it! He works downtown and then also goes into the schools to work with the teachers.
I am still working various childcare at church, involved in MOPS, and enjoying being a stay at home mom!

First Day of School

Brady had his first day of preschool at First Woodway Christian School with Mrs. Buenger in the 4 yr old TWF class. He had a good day and he enjoyed it! On his first time in chapel his class won the award for best behaved during the service!

 

Brianna had her first day of kindergarten at Speegleville Elementary with Mrs. Guinn. She was very excited to go and she really enjoyed it! She wasn't nervous and she even got the first brownie point award from the teacher for helping a classmate. She came home talking all about it! She loved gym, music, recess, and everything. We were nervous dropping her off though and emotional! We can't believe how big she is. We are looking forward to this year! And it was funny, a reporter came by and asked about the first day of school, so I was on the local news that day, it was a good distraction and it was fun!

New Puppy!

Here is our new puppy! We picked her up July 17th, she was born on May 10th. She is a puggle, half pug and half beagle. She was born in Oklahoma so we named her Okie. She is really sweet!

 

Family Jellystone Vacation

We took a family trip to Jellystone Park in July! We had a great time, the kids loved meeting Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, and Booboo. They also enjoyed the fire truck ride, movie night, the crafts, the waterpark, and riding around in a big golf cart. The cabins we stayed in were really nice too!

Galveston

We just got back from a fun trip to Galveston! On the way there we got to stay with Grandpa Jim and Momo and we had a great time with them and Uncle Caleb too! We also stopped in Pearland and visited some old friends, Alfredia, the kids old babysitter, Heather & Stephen, and Josh! So that was nice to see old friends! Then we got to Galveston and the kids loved the beach and the hotel pool!

 They loved fishing with Daddy and seeing their cousins there too!

 Brianna and Kyler got buried in the sand!

 We got to go to La King's and get some treats!

Then we went on a fishing trip but Mommy and Brianna got sick over the side of the boat! Aaa!
So it was a fun trip minus that part!!
