Insta-Friday: September!

So before I start posting about our amazing trip to Disney World I thought I should post our 
Insta-Friday September edition.

Here's a peek at our weeks in September... 
I've been doing some painting! 
I love painting college signs!  I'm working on my HSU sign.  I can make you one if you would like! Just let me know! :) 

Playing in the lockers before our last swim at the Y.  It reminds me of IN camp with CCA!  :) Love it! 

Labor Day fun as a family! 

Sad ending... Last day the pool is open in 2014.  Boo!  We love our YMCA waterpark!  See you next year! 

Are you ready for some football???  We are!!!
Hunter is LOVING football and so is the whole family!  Go Hunter-man!!! 

This is what everyone does when going to Lowe's , right? 

Lots of mornings at the bus stop.  
We have the best bus driver!  Mr. Jim is super sweet and always honks and waves at Archer! 

Monday and Friday mornings are so sweet with this boy!  
All mornings are sweet with him, but on Monday and Friday it's just me and Archer while Maggie and Hunter are at school.  I LOVE to hear his sweet voice. 

More signs!  :)

We celebrated Honey's birthday on September 9th!  She is the best!!  We are so blessed by her!  

Sleeping babies! 
God's sweetest blessing! 

We did change up the PTO bulletin board this month!  We hope to have LOTS of support at our first walk-a-thon next week!!  

A sweet date with a sweet little lady!  We have a girls only lunch on Wednesdays since Archer is in school. :)

It did get a little chilly for a few days in September.  This was at the bus stop one morning. :) 

Our shirts for Disney World are ready!  Ben just loved the glitter!  haha :) 

Awesome pick 6 by the one and only Hunter-man!!  Now what do you want to do after that awesome win??  I'm going to Disney World! 


Lots of Disney World pictures and adventures to come! 

Yes, I'm still dreaming of this monster... Yum!!

Queen Elsa

Fun with Hunter!  He was trying to make Mickey ears! 

It was so sad.... back to reality. 

Archer is THREE!!!! 

Our little gymnast! 

Because it's officially fall, so you need some pumpkin bread asap! 

It was a Pizza Party kind of night when Coach was spending the night! 

And guess who stayed around to watch a little football??  Hunter was so excited Coach got to see him play! 

Sometimes when it is beautiful outside, you just have to put homework on hold and PLAY! 

We had an awesome, amazing, super fun September full of sweet memories!!!  
Thank you Lord for your many blessings!!  

Disney World pictures to come soon!  I've gotta start blogging about it before I forget all the fun little memories!  Have a great weekend, ya'll! 


My baby is THREE!!?! Say what???

Hello blogging world!  It's been a while!  I've got A LOT to share, but we'll start with some BIG news... my sweet baby is THREE!!!  How can that be??

Archer turned 3 on September 23rd... 

Since we had just gotten back from Disney World, we did not have a big birthday party.  I did make him a Mickey cake, like he wanted.  It wasn't my best cake... it might have been the fastest cake I have ever made, but he LOVED it and that is exactly what I wanted.  

Maggie and Hunter wanted to sing Happy Birthday to him when he woke up, but he would not let them!  He just did not think it was right to sing Happy Birthday without the cake and candles!  :)  He is so funny!! 

So we waited until Ben and Hunter got home from football to sing and eat cake!  He was so excited! 

He's been working on showing "3" and loves to tell people he is three now. 
I just can't believe it!  There were lots of tears on Tuesday... from me of course! 

So what did we do all day?  Honestly we didn't do anything big.  We stayed around the house and played with his new tools and had a fun morning laughing and building.  We have been so busy lately it was nice just to sit and play.  I think he had a fun day!  We did go to his favorite place... well besides going to see the trash trucks... We went to the (drum roll, please) Car Wash!  Archer wants to go to the car wash every single day.  He loves it, so of course we went on his birthday! :)

Archer, you are such a blessing to us!  You bring us all so much joy and happiness!  I can't believe my baby is three.  I love to watch you fix things and I love your kisses.  You are such a sweet little brother. You are a helper and a doer.  We love you so, so much!  We can't wait to see what God has in store for you, sweet boy!  Happy Birthday, Archer-man!!

Maggie & Archer's first day of School 2014

Maggie and Archer had their first day of school on Wednesday! 
Maggie is going 3 days a week at our church and Archer is going one day a week at our YMCA!  They both had a great day!  Here are a few pictures! :) 

Maggie was so excited!  She loves school!  

This was Maggie's favorite picture I took that day!  :)  
I can't believe this is the last year of pre-school for my sweet girl! 

Archer was so excited to go to school, too!  Last year he was to young to go to school anywhere and I think he missed it!  So this year he is going to Mom's Day Out at the Y.  He gets to go swimming and play in the gymnastics gym.  

Yay!  Archer!! 

Maggie by her hook. 

And with one of her teachers, Mrs. Fraze!  
She had a great 1st day!  She learned a really cute caterpillar song that she has been singing all weekend! 

Archer wouldn't take any more pictures once we got to the Y.  
He did have fun, though!  He swam, playing on the trampolines and pits and painted with ice cubes!  

Over all we had a successful first day all around!!  Praying this year goes slow... they are all growing way to fast!  I'm just going to enjoy every minute! :)
