JW Marriott 2015

We went on our annual staycation to the JW Marriott. You really feel like you are somewhere else--not just 10 miles from home! We love it there! We went with the Warmkes again this year. The night before at the fundraiser dinner, we got to meet Willie Robertson. Ana and I were star struck. He was just so nice and friendly! We got a free hat too!

The kids had fun swimming their little hearts out!

While this was an awesome picture--Hudson got Drew (and his phone) completely soaked! Good thing he's so darn cute!!!

We can't wait to go back next year!!

Gracyn's Cheer Camp

Gracyn did a cheer camp at Reagan High School. She had a blast at the clinic learning cheers and dances!! 

 

She loved doing it with her friends, Halle and Aly!

Then, they got to perform at the football game that night. She could.not.have.been.more.excited!!!!

Her favorite part was cheering at the game. This girl loved her some props. She was either holding the megaphone...

...or a sign...

...back to the megaphone!

I mean...does she looked like she was loving it or what?

Hudson's Football

This little guy LOVES football. He did a great job at try outs!

He gets to be on the same team as his friend, Tyler. They are a dynamic duo!!

Game day pep talk!

Running through the tunnel..he loves this part!

I love watching him play sports and do something that he loves with his whole heart!!

Birthday Parties

We had lots of friends celebrate their birthday this month!

The Darter girls had their party at a cooking cottage. They made pizza and dessert!

They broke out the kareoke machine and this shy little girl busted a move and belted out when "Let it Go" came on. She shocked us all!! :)

Piper had a mermaid swim party.

Zach had a swim party and these two had a blast on the diving boards....even Daddy joined in on the fun!

 

Archer and Maddox had a swim party down the street. Who doesn't love a pinata?!

Hudson and Collin.

Happy Birthday friends!!

First Day of School 2015

Ready or not...here it comes. Gracyn's first day of First Grade and Hudson's first day of Kindergarten.

So proud of this little first grade girl!

So proud of this little guy too!
 
 I've got a smile on here...but I'm crying inside!!

 Love these three!!

Here we are outside her class...ready to say good-bye to our sweet girl!

 Gracyn's teacher is Mrs. Casanova this year.

 At her desk....

 Ready for the 1st day!!

 Here's our big kinder boy!

 I'm NOT ready for him to go in there!! ;(

 He's got Mrs. Greenwood. We're so thankful to have her a second year in a row!

 I'm trying to keep it together....

 I headed to the gym after drop off to work out with my friends and try not to think about my baby being in big school. But, the car parked right beside me was a slug bug and I got SO sad because there was no one to play our game with. Hudson would've gotten so excited to get that point!! :(

The day was a success for both kiddos! We stopped at Bahama Bucks for snow cones to celebrate the end of a great first day!! They loved their teachers and made new friends...and can't wait to go back tomorrow! I'm thankful I made it through the day too. We're all looking forward to seeing what this school year has in store!!

Hudson's First Mile!

Hudson ran his first mile!! He did SO good. Towards the end he asked about a hundred times, "How much longer?" And Drew would say, "It's just one more minute!"

He loved it when he was ahead of everyone! (Gracyn stayed put in the jogging stroller.)

Way to go HUDDY! We're SO proud of you!!

I'm Gonna Miss This...

I sure am going to miss this little guy....the thought of him going to Kindergarten makes me so sad...I don't even want to think about it! :(

He loves to help me--whatever I'm doing he wants to be right by my side. I'm sure going to miss my little helper.

Morning cuddles....oh how my heart LOVES this time every morning!!

 I just love his company. He's a fun kid to have around. I know he will do great things in Kindergarten...but a piece of my heart will be missing all day.
