FIELD TRIP & FLORIDA

A little late on posting but have been busy. Week before last I went on a field trip with Brookes class to Finley park and to see Junie B. Jones. This picture of her class was taken at the park. Last Sunday Heath & I left for Jacksonville, Florida. We had a great trip & the hotel was so nice. Monday he was at his marketing booth in the hotel from 7am-5pm. I left the hotel around 9:30 & drove 30 minutes to St. Augustine to shop at the outlets. I stayed at the outlets from 10am until 4pm. It was so nice to not have to rush & to buy without hearing do the kids really need that? lol! Monday night Heath & I went to Ruby Tuesdays & to see the movie Fireproof. The movie was awesome & Heath & I are now doing the bible study that goes along with it. I would recommend this to all couples. Tuesday Heath had a breakfast & then we hit the road. We stopped at the Hilton Head outlets on the way home at got back around 5pm to get the kids. It was great to get away and spend time together but I was ready to get home to my babies. We also had another "date" Thurday night my parents kept the kids all night & we went to the Rascall Flatts concert. Brooke got her report card Friday and made the A honor roll so after he soccer game & a birthday party yesterday we took the kids to see High School Musical 3. Hope everyone has a great week.

Fair!

We got to the fair around 3p.m. Friday and the kids rode rides for about two hours. The weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded. The kids were able to just walk on most rides. They never had to wait more then a couple of minutes. We ate and looked at the animals then we went to the Sugarland concert. We had great seats. We were row 7 right in the middle. The kids love Sugarland and Brooke couldn't believe it was really them when they came on the stage. They put on a great show as always.
Brady slep thru most of it but Brooke really enjoyed it. The guy behind us caught one of the guitar picks and gave it to Brooke. Saturday morning Brooke had a soccer game (they won) and pictures. Heath went to the Notre Dame game with our neighbor and even though they lost he still had a great time. Brooke and I are going on a field trip tommorrow to see a Junie B. Jones play. Anyone with kids around that age needs to get some of her books. They are so funny. Anyways, Hope everyone has a great week. If I don't post again pray for Heath & I as we are leaving Sunday to go on a business trip. He is going to Jacksonville, Florida and I decided since it was just him going and no other coworkers I would tag along. I am a little nervous about leaving the kids but am looking forward to spending time together. We will be home Tuesday night.

getting ready for halloween

We decorated our house for fall & halloween this weekend. The kids have now decided they want to wear the costumes we bought last year. They changed their minds at the last minute. Brooke is going to be Dorothy & Brady is going to be the lion from the Wizard of Oz. Well Bradys costume still fits but Brookes is to small. I think my nephew Aaron is going to be a scarecrow & Jacob is going to be the tin man. Julie is still trying to find Jaden a toto costume. Thought these were cute picture of them in Halloweens past.

Happy 4th Birthday Brady!

Today my sweet baby boy turned four years old. We celebrated with family & friends yesterday morning with a Star Wars party. It rained all day Friday and most of the night. I was worried that the rain was gonna mess us up but by 10am the weather was perfect. We dried off the swing set and trampoline and put up two bounce houses and the kids had a great time. Brady got alot of nice presents and had a great time. He woke up this morning and said maybe my friends who couldn't come to my party will bring my presents to church with them. He is starting to act more like his sister every day. He is a sweet boy and we love him very much. He definetly completes our family and we are so blessed to have him.

On a sad note Brooke started running fever last night and said her throat hurt. Heath took her to doctors care this morning and she has strep throat. She will not be able to go to school tommorrow. She had perfect attendance last year but I figured we wouldn't make it this year. She is starting to feel a little better now.

soccer & zoo

The kids started awanas Wednesday night and Brady said he changed his mind he doesn't want to be in Cubbies because its way to long. I told him to give it a few weeks he would like it. Brooke got her progress report Thursday and has all A's so we hope she keeps that up. She also had her first soccer game Thursday night. They won the game but it wasn't because of her. She doesn't even attempt to kick the ball. Heath told her he would give her fifty cents each time she kicked the ball. They had a game Saturday morning and won again. He owed her one whole dollar for kicking it twice. Friday afternoon Julie and I took the kids to the zoo and then Friday night we went to the Lugoff Camden football game. Saturday Brooke had her soccer game and a birthday pary for one of the girls in her class. I had a bridal shower and Heath and I had a couples shower Saturday night in Blythewood for one of his coworkers so it was a busy weekend. He & one of the guys he works with left this morning for Williamsburg Virginia and will be home late Tuesday night. Hope everyone has a great week.

Cheering!

Brooke did a great job cheering at the Lugoff game Friday night. We start Awanas tonight and Brady is so excited about being in Cubbies. Last year he was in Puggles with me so I guess it just seems like a big boy class to him. He woke up Sunday morning and the first thing he said is today is the day I register to be a Cubbie. I had to find Brookes old vest and pull out the little things she earned off of it for him to use. She will be in Sparks again since its kindergarten - 2nd grade.

Brooke has her first soccer game tommorrow night. She doesn't like soccer at all and has begged us to let her quit. Told her I couldn't get my money back so she was playing.

First 5K, Cheer Clinic & Baby Shower

Heath & I ran our first 5k at Sesqui Saturday morning. It was actually fun to do that together.
We didn't actually run together since I beat him by two minutes, lol! Seriously, I am very proud of him. The kids spent the night with my parents Friday night since we had to be at race at 7am and Brooke had to be at cheer clinic at 9am Saturday morning. We went and saw what they had learned and she gets to cheer at the Lugoff Elgin football game Friday night. Sunday night the church had Julie & Chad a shower and they got tons of stuff. Money, gift cards, clothes, diapers and lots more. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLBY & CONGRATULATIONS TO RACHEL & DEAN!!
