August Surgeries

Before Easton's birthday, Jaime had sinus surgery. Then on Thursday the 25th, Maddie had two hernias repaired and on Friday the 26th, Haylee had eye surgery. Talk about busy!!! Both girls are recovering well and I'm glad to be moving past this season! Thank you Father for seeing us through. 

Now I'm praying that the rest of this year is a little less overwhelming!! :)

Dinosaur Party

On August 13th, Easton James turned 4 years old. We celebrated with birthday donuts and a few gifts!

The weekend after, he had his dinosaur birthday party and had such a great time! August was a busy month this year, with school starting and three family surgeries, so it was a small gathering...but buddy didn't care at all! He had a blast and I'm so glad that he did! 

Easton, we love you bud! You are the best boy ever!

First Day of School

The 2016-17 school year is underway and this year, I have not one, but two excited girls! Maddie is in 3rd grade and my sweet Brooklyn Hope started Kindergarten. I was nervous earlier in the summer about how she would feel about being away from me since she's such a mama's girl but I quickly felt such peace about it. She's a social butterfly and as soon as she found out she got Mrs. M (Maddie's former teacher and our friend) we were all excited and ready to go! Maddie is also enjoying Mrs. Dickerson and Mrs. Melton this year. I miss both my girls but I enjoy hearing about their day when they get back. In the meantime, it's peaceful with just the two little ones and that's a nice change too!

Magnolia Trip

Our SS girl's trip this year was to Waco. We went to the Magnolia Silos, The Findery, Spice Village and lots of other shopping places for fun antiques and clothes. It was fun to spend a night away and eat meals without small children hollering at me! I loved buying some things for our house (the Fixer Upper show is totally my inspiration) and bought a few new outfits too. Fun, fun weekend with my friends!!

4th of July, 2016

For the 4th, this year, we did something different and went with my parents to one of their friend's house. He's a local doctor and he lives on the lake. Apparently his family throws a big party every year with a HUGE firework show (paid for by everyone on the peninsula)! We all had a blast! It was a late night but the kids loved the fireworks & enjoyed some summer fun!
