Lacy is 8 months old!!

Lacy is a very happy baby! She's always smiling and giggling, especially at Lily & Dillon. She grabbed anything and everything she can, and puts it all in her mouth. This past week, she got her first 2 teeth (bottom)! She's close to crawling too. She get up on her feet and hands. Here's a few pics from her 8 month birthday!

Crooked little smile!

Two bottom teethers!

Fall Photos of the Kids

We took the kids to Portrait Innovations a few weeks ago to get their photos taken together. We needed to update the photos on our mantel above our fireplace :) Here were some of the best ones.

Lily's First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Lily's first day of preschool! I got to go with her. It was a shorten day from noon to 1:15. She did great and I had so much fun watching her. Here are some photos and videos from her first day.

Posing with her new Pony shirt, new shoes and new book bag.

Outside of the school. Waiting to go in.
Hanging up her book bag by her name badge.

Playing with her teacher, Mrs. Gibbons, and a classmate until all the other kids arrived.

She had no fear. She immediately started playing with other kids and forgot I was even there. Bitter Sweet moments. I was so proud of her.

The apple tree. I see a cute green apple!

Hard to see...it was hanging up pretty high, but this is Lily's artwork from her first meeting with her teacher last week. She was supposed to draw a picture of herself. She drew a flower, but later said it was a spider.

Lily's carpet square with her name on it.

Lily putting her name in the "Who's Here Today" pocket.

Getting ready to sing a song.

Circle Time

Arts & Crafts. Making a stop light.

Mrs. Gibbons helping Lily glue her stop light together.

Lining up for bathroom break.

After they go to the bathroom, they get a snack and some water. Here they are saying a pray before they eat their snack.

After I snapped this photo, she said "I couldn't smile, Mommy. I had cookie in my mouth."

Showing me her finished stop light, which is now proudly hanging on our refrigerator. She couldn't wait to show Nana, Papa, Pickle and Daddy.

Here are some videos I took while we were there.

She goes back tomorrow all by herself. Papa is going to take her and pick her up for us since he is off of work right now. I'm sure she is going to have a blast. The library bus is coming tomorrow and she gets to pick out a library book. She's excited for that.

She starts her dance class again tomorrow night, too. She is going to be one tired cookie tomorrow evening.

Visit with Family & Labor Day Weekend

On Sunday, Aug. 28, Anson and I had his family and my parents over to our house for a cook-out. Below are some photos from our day. The kids were in heaven having all of their favorite people (minus Uncle Jamie!) in one place all at the same time!

Lacy's 7 month photo - we were a little late with it. We kept forgetting! Ah, third child... LOL!! She is such a happy baby!

Video of Lacy squealing.



Lily & Dillon eating their lunch at their picnic table.
Playing corn hole. I think Anson was explaining the rules.

Sampson was so happy to be running around outside with us all afternoon. Look at that smile!

Sweet Lily!

Sweet Dillon!

My Sweet Parents!

Family Photo - Dillon was blocking Lily, though.

Me & My Baby

Lily wanted to fly a kite so badly that day. We couldn't find the kites we had, so Uncle Jeremy & Heather ran to the store to look for one. They couldn't find one, but they bought these big bubbles instead. The whole backyard was filled with bubbles. The kids loved it!

Papa to the rescue! He went home to get their kite. We weren't able to get it up, though. Not enough wind.

Nana & Baby Girl

We had the bubble machine going too!

The next photos are from Labor Day weekend. Saturday was the last hot day of the summer. The kids were outside playing in their pool.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture!

And this one!

New Thomas and My Little Pony shirts!
