More Catching Up - November

I am still trying to catch up. Well, November was very eventful. Brant was in a play at church - he was a shepherd.

During November, Brant had a field trip to the Buffalo Park. I took off and went with him. It turned out to be a great day. The temperature was perfect!

Brylee had her annual Thanksgiving feast at school. Check out my little Indian! Brant was a Pilgrim on the Sunday before Thanksgiving at church. I think they both looked pretty cute! Brant also has been taking Karate. He is now officially a white belt with a black stripe. He really enjoys taking it. I tried to snap some shots during the Thanksgiving break.

During Thanksgiving break, Brylee & I went with some good friends to see the Disney Princesses on Ice. Brylee absolutely LOVED the show! In fact, she has pretended to be a princess at home on ice while changing into different princess costumes.

Thanksgiving was spent with family. We spent most of the day with Bryan's family. We enjoyed seeing all the family we don't usually see. It is crazy that most of us live in the same town, but only see each other on special occasions. We cherish the moments with Bryan's grandparents. They are both in their 90s. It is awesome that my children get to spend time with them. After lots of food, we headed to visit my family in Meridian. We spent several days with them and then visited my grandmother in Laurel who is recovering from being in the hospital. It was good to see her doing so much better. The Thanksgiving weekend then ended great with a Bulldog Egg Bowl win! A perfect Thanksgiving ending!!

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.
