Jett and Judd are 4

Last Saturday we celebrated Jett and Judd's 4th birthday party.  The kids and I went down the night before to play, spent the night and help Ashley get ready for the party.

A Visit with Great Grandma

Marie and Cretia were out to Greensburg the week before last for a visit. Amelia had fun dressing her up and putting a flower in her hair.

Art Classes

Last week was the first art classes for the year at the school. This is the 4th year the arts center has had this partnership with the school. We did a pointillism painting project and painted fall trees. This year the classes are in one of the new classrooms in the brand new addition at the school. It is so great to be in a real classroom complete with a smart board. I was able to show images and a video to the kids. I think the classes will be much better that I have this technology to use.

Black and white party

Football

Tonight was the opening NFL game for the season. Truman was sitting on Trav's lap watching the game. Trav asked him if he liked football. Truman said no, I like Toy Story.

Fleeting

Tonight we were reminded of how fleeting and precious life is. A special lady passed away suddenly. It puts into perspective what truly matters. More hugs and kisses, less work, fewer distractions, more quality time spent.

Fireflies and fried food

It was a great labor day weekend. Sunday night we had a fish (alot of other goodies) fry at ray and pats house. After dark, travis, gigi and the kids caught fireflies.

On monday ashley and the kids came up. Mom and dad were watching wyatt and lane because tanner and jill were working. It was fun, crazy, exhausting, frustrating and great having all the cousins together.
