My Big Announcement...... (No I'm not pregnant)

I have decided after much thought and prayer to go back to school and finish getting my degree in Early Childhood Education. So, please be in prayer for our family during this time of change and transition. I am going to be working full time and taking classes. I am going to have classes both during the day and at night.

I am both nervous and excited to get this new adventure underway.

What better way to end a trip to the pumpkin patch than with a snow cone?

CCA Pumpkin Patch Trip

Pate and Bella's school took a Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Here are some pictures of all the excitement.

Family Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Larry and I decided to take the kids to Schaefer's pumpkin patch. Randel, Valerie and Hayden came along for all the fun. Bella was not in the mood for pictures. As you can tell, Pate loves his sister. He espescially loves to irritate her. We played on all of the playground equipment, visited the animals, and took lots of pictures.

Pate wanted this to be his pumpkin

As you can tell I am way behind on posting to my blog, so over the next few days I am going to try to catch up.

Pate and Bella's school decided to have a pumpkin decorating contest between all the classes. Since their room theme is "Under the Sea" they decide to decorate a Nemo pumpkin. I went to help out with the class while they decorated the pumpkin.



Ready to get started

Bowling Party

Ok I'm behind this was from September. One of Larry's friends from the fire station, invited us to his daughter's birthday party. Whenever we go see Larry at the station, and Katie Belle is there Pate and Bella love to play with her. They had her birthday party at the bowling alley, this was Pate and Bella's first time to go bowling. They loved it as you can tell!

Happy Birthday Katie!!

Look its a Firetruck

Pate and Bella's school had the Conway Fire Department come for a visit. Well Pate and Bella automatically assume any firetruck is "daddy's firetruck". So they weren't the best about obeying the rules when looking at the firetruck. Pate even asked one of the firemen "Do you know my daddy, he's a fireman?"


Bella didn't like the fact that she couldn't ring the
bell, she said my daddy lets me.

Plant a Tree

Last friday, Pate and Bella's school had a tree dedication. Since it is a new school they were planting trees on their playground. I went to help out and meet some of Pate and Bella's friends.

Here are some pictures of the festivities.


Digging holes is hard work

Soccer

Pate has started Soccer for the fall. Conway offers a soccer program for kids 4 and under called the Mighty Mites. They have practice one night a week. Where they do little drills and at the end they have a little scrimmage against other players. So here are some pictures of our little soccer pro.

First Day of School

Well, Pate and Bella have started preschool. We have been so blessed to have a wonderful Nana and Papa that have kept Peyton and Bella, ever since mommy went back to work. But Nana and Papa need some time of their own, and Pate and Bella needed more structure in their lives.

They go to Central Christian Academy and they love it. We have been really happy with the school, and Pate and Bella love their teachers Ms. Misty and Ms. Kathy. They go monday through friday. Of course, Nana picks them up in the afternoon and keeps them until I get off work. Nana still needs her time with Pate and Bellla.

Mom, I just want to take a minute to thank you for everything you do for Larry, Peyton, Bella and I. You are an absolute God send. Thanks for taking such loving care of all of us.

First Day of School

We are still here

Ok, so I have neglected my blog for a while. We have been really busy. Pate and Bella finished up their preschool gymnastics class for the summer. Pate has decided he doesn't want to do gymnastics anymore, he wants to spend time with the boys. Which I will admit makes me a little sad, he is growing up so fast. So here is some pictures of our last gymnastics class.

This is Pate and Bella with their teacher Ms. Chelsea

Bella has decided to try something new this year she wants to do the Gym/Dance combo class. Daddy isn't really excited about this I think it's because there is a recital at the end of it. Daddy is more of a sports guy not a recital guy. We decided to let her try the class for two weeks before we signed up for fall. She really likes it alot. Here are some pictures and videos of her in the class.





Bella loves her Ballet class

But I think she likes Tap the best.
