Anna Grace 4 months old

I got froggy this morning and decided to have my own photo shoot. Ashton was my assistant, he helped keep her attention where I needed it. I thought these turned out pretty good.

Pumpkin Patch

Anna Grace, her first trip to the pumpkin patch.

Pumpkin Patch

We all had a great time! We went to Flower Mount to the pumpkin patch. We went with Amy and her crew and the kids played for about 2 hours there.

Anna Grace and Aunt Nole

Aunt Nole was in Dallas visiting Sandy and we were able to visit with her 3 times while she was here. It was so awesome... She is 83 years old and still moves her own grass. It was great to spend time with her and my cousins.

Ashton's game

Ashton plays on a really good team. He has played with this team for 3 seasons. He is usually a defender or mid fielder. He has played goalie the second half of most of their games. They are in 3rd place.

Ashton the soccer star

Ethan loves soccer

This is Ethan's first year to play soccer and he loves it. He has a smile on his face the entire game. It's nice to have an older brother that he has watched to learn from.

Ethan's first day of School

Ethan is off to school again this year and loving it. He was very excited about starting schol. He has on of the same teachers from last year Ms. Shelley. His best friend Sydney from last year is in his class again. They could pass for twins.

Sydney and Asthon

Sydney and Ashton became good friends right off the bat.

Ethan, Sydney, Baby Max

We played at a great park in Houston. These are a few good pictures

Our short trip to Houston

We had a great time visiting our friends from South Carolina in Houston. It was a very busy weekend but we had a blast.

Smiling!

Anna Grace is such a joy. She has been smiling and giggling. She had fun at the park today also. She loves to be outside!

The Park

Our trip to Johnson Road Park

A friend told me about this great park! It has trees, which is not the norm for this area. Ethan and I had a blast in the "forest" (ethan called it) We collected acorns.

He loves his sister!

It is truly a blessing how much Ethan and Ashton love their sister. They both love to hold her and spend time with her.

Our first hummingbird after 2 years of our hummingbird garden

I was so excited this morning when I looked outside to see a hummingbird enjoying our plants and feeders. I need more food for the feeders. I asked Mark if they sold it at Cabelas. Then I said, "of course not, you can't shoot hummingbirds".

Ashtons first day of school

Wow did summer go fast! Ashton was very excited about his first day of school. He has two teachers this year. The teacher seems to know what to say, Ashton came home and said "Mom, Mrs. Cervantez gave me a compliment, she said that I was thinking of others." We are praying for another great year like last year!

God has sent us family close by...

This is my cousin Sandy and her sweet family. They lived here 10 years ago before moving to NY and now they are back! They live in Carrollton which is 31 miles from my house. We had dinner together along with her sister from Houston. It sur feels good to have them so close.

Leigh Leigh

I can't belive that I only got one picture of Leigh while she was here for a week. Leigh is my best friend from South Carolina. She came to help me while Mark was out of town for business. Wow, did I put her to work. I had a list of things that I wanted her to help me with and we greatly exceeded that list. She organized my files, pantry, closet and scrapbook closet. We were two girls with hand tools for the week! It was scarry. It was very sad to see her leave! I have had enough of taking loved ones to the airport and crying!
