Super Spellers

Today was ECS' Lower School Spelling Bee, and Edward and his "friend" Emma represented their class. I think everyone's nerves were on edge, but we made it through. Edward came in fourth place and Emma in third. A good showing for two seven year olds. Way to go guys! We are proud of you!!!!

Cowboy Bob???

William's imagination has been running in high gears lately. Tuesday night he was a cowboy riding on the range. Tonight he is Bob the Builder fixing everything and everyone with his tools. Hopefully tomorrow(Halloween) he will be a fireman. We'll see!!!!

My boys

The first picture is this year, and the bottom was taken last year about this same time. Where has the time gone?

Happy Halloween!!

We were invited to a great HALLOWEEN party at Ms. Debbie's house. There was a GIANT slide, hotdogs, smores, candy and games. Both boys were tuckered out and almost didn't make it home before they fell asleep. Thanks Ms. Debbie for a fantastic evening!!

Laken

Whether she's at a ballgame, dressed up as a princess, dancing her heart out, or hanging out with one of her "boyfriends" (edward), Laken is a treat to be around! It is hard to believe she is almost three years old. Time has quickly flown by!

Party Weekend

When you are turning 85 years old, you certainly deserve 2 birthday parties. Nanny Morrell celebrated her birthday Friday night and Saturday night. Her actual birthday was Saturday but because my parents were not in town Saturday, they had a little party Friday night for her. Then on Saturday, we partied again with most but not all of the grands and great grands. Eight children aging ten years old to two. What a great time!
Nanny said she has out lived any in her family including her parents, siblings, aunts or uncles. She is an amazing lady who is always on the go and ready to help with anything ( babysitting, cooking big Sunday meals, anything!!!!)
I love her so much and I feel so blessed to be part of her family.
Happy Birthday Nanny!

We're going to the fair!

After 2 soccer games we headed to Columbia to the Sate Fair. This is not my cup of tea, but all 3 of the boys (Eddie too) had a blast. William wanted to see the animals. The horses were a big hit with him. I did manage to get him on the merry-go-round. While Edward quickly outgrew the "kiddie" rides in favor of the "adult section" of the fair. He loved the fun houses and the bumper cars! The ride home was not enjoyable however because William was sick throwing up! GROSS!!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

The boys, Nana and me went to the pumpkin patch at Wesley Methodist church last Saturday. It was hard for William to understand that he could not get a blue pumpkin.

Sunday afternoon with the girls

We spent the other Sunday afternoon in the hayfield with the girls. All the kids had a grand time playing in the hay. Even William cooperated a little for a group shot.
