Another birthday celebration...

Today we went to the Petty Ranch to celebrate the 5th birthday of Jett and Judd.

 Sloan spent a good portion of the day on Grandma Cretia's lap.

This face.

Truman and Amelia made cards with Grandma Pat for the boys.

Truman was telling Ashley all about the card.

Truman was very excited to put on the boys new football pads and pants. He kept saying "I'm powerful!"

Looking at his reflection in the door.

These 3 were caught eating frosting.

Clint took us on a ride out to see the cattle.

A man and his beasts. Or pets.

Terrible selfie.

Travis got the boys Lego sets. He and Judd had a great time putting it together.

State Fair

I had to work the first 5 days of the state fair at our booth this year. Travis brought the kids up Friday after work and we stayed the night with the Barkleys. Saturday we did the fair together.  Truman loved the train ride. Amelia loved the dragon roller coaster. I loved coming home Tuesday night. 5 days of the fair is way enough for me.

Building a Birdhouse

Tonight the kids and I went over to Papa Bob's shop to put together a bird house.

First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was the first day of preschool for the year. This is the 2nd year for Amelia and the 1st for Truman. He goes in the morning and she goes in the afternoon. I think they both had a great day. Truman said his favorite part of the day was playing with Thayer and Lochlan and snack time. Amelia said her favorite part was snack time. I thought Truman might have a hard time letting me go when I dropped him off, but that was not the case at all. He barely said bye to me. As soon as he saw Thayer and Lochlan he went right over to play. It took Amelia a little longer to warm up, but she was fine. She didn't want to play with the other kids, but sat and colored by herself. I sat with her for a bit then left.

The first picture is the beginning of a project I hope to complete for both of the kids for each year of school. I plan to take their picture with the picture from the previous year. So it will be a picture inside a picture inside a picture, etc...  We'll see if I keep it up year to year :)
