Catching up

Well, again I am behind on my blogging. I am going to try to catch up. In October,we took a trip to the Birmingham Zoo. We love to go this time of year because of the spooky decorations. We had a blast, especially when we feed the birds. Brylee did NOT like it one bit.

Brant also did his first story board project with some help.

We went to several Halloween events, including Trick or Treating. Brant was Buzz Lightyear most of the time, but a GI Joe character for a Trunk or Treat, and Brylee was a different Princess every day it seemed.

Book Character Pumpkins

Brant had an optional project for his class. He could decorate a pumpkin as a book character. We chose to make Skippyjon Jones. Well, Brylee wanted to do the project, too! I must say they both turned out so cute. Brylee wanted hers to look like a girl so we added a tiara. I know Skippy is a boy, but he looks like a cute girl, too!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We went to the Pumpkin Patch Saturday for a birthday party and Brant's sunday school party. The kids LOVE to go there. This year they added horse/pony rides. Brant loves the hay maze and Brylee loved playing in the corn and riding on the little tractors. We rode the hay ride and then we headed for the horse rides. Brylee was a little reluctant to ride, but she decided to wait and ride the little pony that had a flower in its hair. She was so excited to ride it! They both did super on the horses.

Still Playing Catch Up!

During August, the first graders of our church are presented bibles. The preacher gives each first grader a bible. Brant got a really cool bible - The Adventure Bible. I thought the picture was so cute with Brant & Brother Mickey! Another fun thing in August was a birthday party that Brant attended. It was the cutest party. The boys dressed up in their favorite football team attire and got to learn a little football from form MS State quarter back, Tyson Lee. The boys had a blast!

Been So Long - So Where Do I Start?

So sorry! I have really slacked on the job. This is supposed to be my record keeping. Oh well, Brant is now in 1st Grade and is doing great! He just had his first 9 weeks report card - Straight As! He is doing super in AR, too - Ready Reader 3! He is doing soccer currently and taking karate. Brylee is in the 3 year old class at school and is doing super! Brylee is taking dance again but at a new place. She loves it! She is also about to start taking gymnastics again.

Summer - Making the Most of It!

We have been really enjoying our summer - meeting friends for playdates at the spray park, pool, or movies, VBS, enjoying many local bands at Sounds of Summer, Story Time with Mother Goose,swimming lessons,baseball camp, gymnastics, art camp, Brylee's first manicure, a trip to Lake Tiak'okhata, another to Mim & Pop's house, and another trip Jackson to meet a childhood friend and her family. We have enjoyed yummy cupcakes at Gigi's, visited the Jackson Zoo, and went to a MS Braves baseball game. We have really been busy doing lots of fun things. I really hate to think school is just around the corner. Oh well, we will just have to keep having fun and just make the most of it!
