And Soccer Begins

Soccer season started last week, and Walker couldn't wait!  It was a little wet for the 1st game but the boys didn't mind at all!  

 Chip, Christopher & Walker getting ready for the kick off.

 Vic and Walker were so excited they were on the same team this year. 

Good Luck Guys!

Boys

Jared spent the night with Walker a few weeks ago and they had the best time playing football in the front yard with Charlie.  I was really surprised they stopped and let me get a picture.  I'm thinking this picture is going to show back up around high school graduation!!

Two BIG days

The kids and I were able to go to Brandon a few weeks ago for Lily's 4th birthday party and Ann Thomas' baby dedication.  It was so good to be with everyone for an extended amount of time.  Anna Grace and Lily had a great time at the party - especially holding Ann Thomas!

 The Birthday Girl with her Mama!

 Anna Grace painted nails one night. She and Lily had multicolored polka-dotted nails!

Baby Dedication was Sunday afternoon at Pinelake Ridgeland Campus. 

There were 9 precious babies, but Ann Thomas was definitely the cutest!

Growing up (too fast)

 Anna Grace is growing up way too quickly for Scott and me.  Her favorite thing to do when she has free time at home is to play school.  One day she said she wanted pants like mine because I had "teacher pants."  (i.e., trouser pants)  So, we ended up finding some for her and these really cute ankle boots (for dress up only!)  So she dresses up in her "teacher outfits" and plays school for hours!  I even heard her fussing at one of her imaginary students in the hall!  She'll be a really good teacher one day!

Anna Grace also likes to help in the kitchen.  She helped Scott make homemade pizzas last week and did a really good job!  It was delicious!

Flag Football

Walker is playing flag football again this year.  He really loves it - even though they haven't won any games yet. 

Labor Day at the Beach - with Tropical Storm Lee

We we so excited to go to the beach with Josh, Miley and Meg for Labor Day.  Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Lee was on its way to the beach too.  We didn't get much beach time, but we had a great time anyway.

Friday night we was a beautiful night at Baytowne.  The kids loved the big checkers.

  Anna Grace finally got a feather.

 Walker rode the bull, and stayed on longer than anyone else that night! 

 Acme is always great!

 AG rode the waves.

 And Walker rode the motorcycle.

He really wanted to ride the waves at the beach but the 6 foot waves and double red flags got in his way!

 So he opted to build a sandcastle.  Meg helped a little...

 but mostly she hung out with Anna Grace.

Later in the day, Walker decided to try his hand at fishing.

Unfortunately, the rain started as soon as we got set up.   

Sweet Meg wanted Anna Grace all weekend! She didn't want anyone else, and AG loved it!!

Lots of Fun in Brandon

We visited my family in Brandon, and the kids had the best time.  Anna Grace always loves to hang out with Lily.  Most of the time they play baby dolls and wear Nana's high heels!

This is one of the rare times I got a picture of Walker and Reid - they are usually too busy playing outside for me to get pictures.  They only stop for food!!

The hit of the visit was the zip line!  Nana and PopPop had been promising to put on up, and they finally did.  Walker wasn't too sure of having to sit on top of the ladder to get on it, but after he did it one time, he was hooked!

Anna Grace LOVED the zip line right from the start.  She wasn't at all scared to get on top of the ladder.  She even went down backwards!!!

Reid had a great time on the zip line too, but Lily wouldn't have any part of it!

Even Nana got it on the action!!!

Sweet cousins!

A few weeks later the kids stayed with Nana and PopPop while Scott and I went to New Orleans for a wedding.  They loved the gifts we brought back for them from NOLA!!
