First Day of School

Today was the kids first day of school. Emory is officially a second grader and Cason is in Kindergarten. Cason says the best thing about Kindergarten is NO naps!



I can't believe Emory is already in second grade. Seems like yesterday she just started school. 

Cason has on his new tennis shoes that make him jump extra high! He picked them out over the summer after seeing a commercial for them.

Silly back to school picture! 

They both couldn't wait to get to their classrooms and my wanting to take a picture by the sign was slowing them down!

Peek-a-boo

Someone was playing peek-a-boo instead of napping this weekend!

4 Month Check-Up

Eli had his 4 month check-up today. He weighs 15.4 pounds (44th percentile) and is 25.5 inches long (63rd percentile). He gained 2 pounds and over 2 inches from his 2 month visit. He smiled and talked during his exam but then got very mad during his ear exam. Apparently he does not like people putting things in his ears!

He had a good check-up and is on target or above with all his milestones. He handled his 4 month shots much better than his 2 month ones with only a few tears shed.  

He is such a sweet little boy!!!

(He scratched his eye with his finger nails which seem to grow long every night!)

Corpus Christi 2016

After our fun filled Monday in Corpus Christi Eli was worn out. He has slept with his hands like this since he was born.

The kids and I swam most mornings after breakfast while Bradley was at the conference.

Eli usually napped while we were at the pool!

Big Sis and Little Brother!

Little Brother, Big Brother and Melon (the cow).

Cason has since named her Melon, yes it is a girl.

I love this sweet picture of all 3 of my babies!

Cason riding Melon!

Emory enjoying her nachos!

Baby Eli!

The USS Lexington from the bridge.

The big bridge all lit up at night.

We visited Chuck-E-Cheese one day. We got there just after they opened and there was hardly anyone there. It was nice and quiet!!!

Cason and his new cowboy hat!!

We had a fun little vacation in Corpus Christi!!!

The Spot

Monday morning the kids were getting ready while watching tv on the couch. Emory got up to do something and Cason took "her spot" while she was gone.  When she got back they started arguing over the spot and I told them to stop fighting because no one spot on the couch had anyone's name on it. I went back to my bathroom to finish getting ready for work. A few minutes later Bradley discovered this.

She is such a mess!

The Beach

The first trip to the beach we drove over to Mustang Island and went to the beach near Port Aransas. It was super windy.

Eli was not a fan of the wind.

Going  over the bridge headed back to Corpus.

One  evening we went to a small beach in Corpus to look for sea shells.

It was still incredibly windy.

Sweet little Eli. He was such a trooper on this trip!

Attempted another group picture! This one turned out pretty good, to bad they weren't in their color coordinated clothes!

Crazy Windy Hair Picture!!
