Growing Up!

My lap top had to be fixed, so my blogging has been out of commission for a while. Since my last post JJ started Kindergarten, Eva started preschool, and Cy now smiles and coos. I've been taking lots of pictures, here is a group of pictures of Cy from oldest to the most recent, see how big his cheeks have gotten!

JJ got to go fishing with Dad. Here he's cooling off in the reservoir.

JJ reading to Eva! I love this picture!

My nephew got married on Aug 20th. Congrats Preston and Megan!

Kindergarten here we come!

Waiting for the bus...

JJ was really excited to ride the bus, I ended up going to the school to make sure he got on the bus home. Watching it all go down gave me anxiety. Then I had to hurry and beat the bus to the stop. JJ didn't get off where he was supposed to, so I stopped the bus. I called for him, he stood up in tears, he knew he missed his stop. Poor guy. I had a hard time sleeping the first week of school, I worried about the bus so much. Thankfully he's getting comfortable taking the bus, he enjoys hanging out with his bus buddy Alex.

Roasting marsh mellows in our fire pit! Yeah! The landscaping project is finally complete!!! I will post before and after pictures soon.

Eva hanging out at JJ's soccer game, literally!

Eva's first day of preschool!

JJ hustling after the ball. 

I told him that he was the best player on his team, but not to tell anyone. We've tried to teach our kids not to compare, and now we get in trouble if we do, but I told him that no one would feel bad since they didn't know. :) His first game he scored two goals, and his team won. The second game they lost.

JJ has been so cute lately. When ever he like what he eats he tells me, "Thanks for your world famous (fill in the blank), Mom!" (carrots, ribs, burritos, banana bread) He's a pretty good eater, I just wish meal time didn't last an hour.
