Halloween Parade

Today at Keira's preschool we had a Halloween parade..All the kids in the class dressed up and they put on a parade for all the family members in the big room..it was really cute...

Disobedience Class

Last night our dog (horse) graduated basic training..it was a 6 week course that I took with my mother in law and her dog, "Martina"..What is really good for us, you graduate no matter how well you do..lol..oh well, she's at least a little better behaved..now we are deciding on whether to sign up for the next course

Pumpkin Patch (Again)

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with the family..Peepaw and Meemaw met us there and we got to pick out the kids pumpkins..they had a blast..I can't wait to carve them..we are gonna do that next weekend so they don't go bad before Halloween..As Shane said this was so much better than going to Kroger and buying a pumpkin

Monkey Definitely Fits

Ran to the mall today and let Keira play at the playground while I fed Monkey..well he decided he had to play too...he was obsessed with getting up on top of the "slides"..he climbed and climbed and climbed and when some evil little child wasn't pushing him off he made it..I was quite impressed..the videos aren't great bcuz they were taken with my phone..

Getting Better

We took the kids to the park today..Boy Austin is getting a lot better at this "whole walking" thing..he was walking around the park today on the mulch..We also went to visit PaPa and he climbed his stairs all by himself (that would be about 10 stairs)..I wish I had gotten video..I will try and get it next week..

And He's Off

On Monday (Columbus Day) Austin took his first steps by himself at my mom's house..On the Friday before at my cousin's house he let go of me and just stood there by himself..I was kinda in shock and worried as well bcuz I knew it was the beginning..He has been obsessed with walking since he was 5 months old..He would walk in the walker before he could even crawl..now he's off..He took three steps on Monday, walked the length of the couch on Tuesday and on Wednesday he was done..He refused to walk..I guess he proved he could do it, why bother..lol..Seriously he has been walking holding one hand for a couple of weeks, now he's on his own..he will walk if you set him on his feet and let go, he will not crawl to something, pull himself up and walk away..not quite there yet, but it won't be long..he wants to go soo bad

Walt Disney World

Keira at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Most of you know we took the kids and my dad to Walt Disney World in September. We had so much fun and have so many stories and so many pictures we would be here for hours if I wanted to tell and show them all. All that needs to be said is we had so much fun it was worth every penny (no matter what my husband says)

 

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in a two bedroom suite with my dad. Keira got to wake up every morning and bang on Grampa's door to come out and look at the giraffes outside our porch..

Austin got his very first haircut at an old time barber shop at Magic Kingdom and it comes with "ears" that say first haircut..

 

We did get eat dinner in Cinderella's castle with 4 different princesses..That was amazing..She enjoyed it so much..

Austin even had fun, he picked up all the princesses..

Actually Austin picked women up EVERYWHERE.. Shane taught him to wink at women and smile..oh boy was he a ham all over the parks

Keira Started School

We finally found a preschool for Keira to go to..She goes to Kingwood Pentacostal Church pre-k program..Three days a week for 3 hours and she loves it !!! I am so happy..She did have some adjustments problems especially since she went for one week and then was pulled out for one week, but finally settled down..

 

She looks so old and grown up, but she really loves her teacher and is thriving..I am glad that we did this bcuz next year she will be just thrown into a big class and not get the little extra attention she needed to adjust

 

She came home that night after refusing to tell me anything about school until Daddy got home and made us sit on the floor in a circle so we could talk about her day..Shane asked to sit on the couch and was DENIED..she said he HAD to sit on the floor..I had to chuckle over that one..

Way behind..

So I think I have this thing figured out..The videos aren't posting like I want, but that's something we can deal with down the road..I will try and catch up with everything that has been going in the past couple of months..If I skip over something or miss something, then oh well deal with it..lol

New Blog

So I have been trying to figure out how to use this blog thingy..I have two friends that this is second nature for, but for some reason I just don't have the hang of it..I need to get busy on this bcuz i have lots of family and friends that don't actually use Facebook and would like some updates on the kiddos...so we will consider this a test run...
