Wednesday 5 year old Field Trip

Vanessa and Grant

Lorie and Copeland in shades Copeland and Grant

Well, Vanessa and I decided that really the children NEEDED a field trip... some time away...a road trip. Being the Moms of the Year that we are, we took them to the Round Rock Outlet Mall. It had nothing to do with the AnnTaylor Outlet......I mean come on, they were in dire need of new sunglasses for goodness sake!!!!

Field Day

It was a GORGEOUS afternoon and a perfect day for the Live Oak Field Day. It was held at the Baylor track and we had fun!!! The second picture of Ran is him doing the long jump backwards...his idea...maybe his strengths lie elsewhere.....

Weekend Company

We had company on Saturday afternoon. James, who works with Steve, and his wife Angie came down with their 2 girls, Shiloh and Caroline. The kids had a blast playing in the sandbox and eating watermelon.

Copeland's Pre K Graduation

Yes it's true...Copeland had Pre Kindergarten Graduation last week. My baby......It was very sweet...they each got a bible and they sang songs and did tricks...Copeland is on the top row 2nd from the left...in between bff Brooklyn and bf Conner (who IS going to the same school in the fall!)

This is Copeland and her best friend, Brooklyn. They will be going to kindergarten in the fall AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. Oh no!!! Aren't they cute??!!!

Our Day At The Race

Well we did it. Vanessa and I did the Race for the Cure last Saturday. It was COLD!!!! We came , we saw, we walked...then we left! It was way crowded and we did not have a clue what was going on...but it was fun! Maybe next year we will do the 5K!

I Am FROM...

I found this template on another blog and decided it would be fun...I love it! Hope you do, too!

I am from hot, humid summers and the smell of freshly cut grass and honeysuckle.
I am from mornings made of Carnation Instant Breakfast and Cream of Wheat.
I am from the big house on Dogwood Drive with the huge magnolia tree out front. My grandfather and I built a bird's nest there once...it was never occupied.
I am from the backyard filled with fireflies caught and put in a mason jar with holes poked in the lid.
I am from nights upstairs with the sliding glass door open and the sounds of tree frogs and Johnny Carson lulling me to sleep.
I am from Christmas mornings and red hair, from Ron and Sherie and Mama Ag and Daddy Jim and the Paynes and Greenfields. I am from the stubborn and the faithful and from racing home after church with my grandmother to hide in the same spot every Sunday...and my grandfather pretending to not know where we might be!
I am from Church of Christ and believe the bible is God's word and nothing shall be added to or taken away.
I am from animal lovers who believe all God's creatures deserve to be treated with decency and respect.
I am from America and points prior, though I I don't know where.
I am from roast with carrots and potatoes and tacos.
From the bull who chased my grandmother and the mad dog under her house, the shortcut my grandfather took across the railroad bridge to school and sandcastles on the beach. I am from my father who used to call me Scooter.
I am from boxes in closets filled with family memories and stories told time and again.
