The Hot to Cold to Hot again, now Cool

Guns loaded

Not wanting to do her very first homework assignment at all

Hey, this isn't so bad.  Thank goodness she gave in otherwise I was thinking of how long and hard these next 13 years could be

Kiera threatened to leave and not come back, I told her to pack her stuff, she dragged out my suitcase and packed herself.  She's a nut!

Kiera and James at Kaitlyn's school Ice Cream Social.  It was a fun evening except for when Kaitlyn got her leg stuck in in the playground equipment.  James and another dad managed to save Kaitlyn's leg by pulling the metal bars apart and getting her out.

Getting ready to do the Cake Walk.  Notice Kaitlyn started out with James and I walked with Kiera.  Right before the music started Kaitlyn wanted to switch and walk with me so Kiera walked with James....

Kiera won the cake walk and Kaitlyn was mad because she switched who she walked with at the very last second,  if she would have stayed James's partner she would have won.  So they had a huge table full of little toys and snack to pick from.  But leave it to Kiera to pick the biggest box of big chocolate donuts.

Kaitlyn sneaking on the other playground on our way to the truck.  This is the playground she has recess on every day.

Practicing for School Picture Day

At the bus stop on Picture day,  it makes me mad this pic turned out blurry they were being so cute that morning, ugh

Kaitlyn posing in the dress I wore on my 1st day of kindergarten.   My little clone is so cute!

Labor Day weekend was a blast.  We started off the Weekend swimming all day Saturday knowing with the cooler weather on its way it would probably be the last day to swim at the big pool for the summer so we swam from 1pm to 8pm.  The girls finished off the swimming season with not wearing any types of swimming devices like armies, or float vest at all all day.  They are both officially real swimmers, I hope they start back up next summer where they left off this year.  Great Job Girls!  The rest of the weekend was full of Wiffle ball, Frisbee,  riding the four wheeler, BBQing, bon fire with smores and playing washers.  Thanks for the Great weekend Guys!

Fred Bird and Adam Wainwright came to Kaitlyn's school this week for a huge assembly.  Kaitlyn was so excited.  She wore her Fred Bird Cardinal Shirt and she wanted Cardinal Colors in her hair as well so this is what we did...

Kiera walking to maw-maw Sharon's house.  If she could she would wear this dress all day, everyday and any place we go

Kaitlyn just got home from school and couldn't wait to tell us about Fred Bird and how silly he acted at her school today.  Se will be attending and if she isn't too shy she will be singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame with her school on the field at Busch Stadium in 2 weeks

4 in the afternoon, 75 degrees,  Kiera passed out in her swing just taking advantage of the perfect weather

Kaitlyn's class picture with a little Fred Bird.  Each class did this and all the pics were hanging on the wall to greet the Cardinal guys.

Some other decorations in the Hall ways of Kaitlyn's school

and more decor in Kaitlyn's school.  the principal is a bit of a cardinal fanatic and we like it!

Leaving school Tuesday evening.  She's officially a Daisy Girl Scout!!!

I got a call last minute to play volleyball last night for a friend and her team.  So we decided to pack up the girls and go as a family.  They had not been to the new place I play at so the white sand was a surprise.  They are used to the brown sand at the other place and the brownish sand in their sand box at home.  Kiera was a bit confused and thought it was snow, the first thing she did was take to the ground and make a sand angel.  Then in between games they got to play, race and run around.  They had a good time and it was a lot of fun having them and James there to cheer me on while I played.

Hope you enjoyed the update.... stay tuned for more blogging very soon.
