Her first field trip ...

Today Kennedy's preschool went to one of the local pumpkin patches. She had such a good time.

She loved the hay ride ... even though she lost her hair bow!

She even got to pet a bunny!

And she enjoyed looking at the sheep and the donkey ...

Although she didn't love the noise that the donkey made!

Cohen had a ball with the hay!

Pretty

Is it okay to describe a boy as pretty? That's the only word I can think of when I see this adorable face!

Happy Birthday McKenna!

Today was SUCH a day ... Cameron had a football game. Again, he played GREAT - but more importantly he had a blast!

Then we went to McKenna's birthday party at Magic Mountain. The kids had a blast! Kennedy has taken quite a liking to McKenna's younger brother, Bryant. They are in the same preschool class this year and they are buddies. The 4 of them are SO cute together!

Check out my little gambler ... she was having a ball!

They had a Hannah Montana pinata - which Kennedy LOVED. How cute is she tracing the letters with her fingers??? :)

Kennedy saw someone playing Dance Dance Revolution and decided she needed to try! She was so cute!

Then we went to visit baby Kailee and uncle Gary was doing his best at being a grandpa!

When I grow up ...

I wanna be JUST like Kirstin!

Kennedy LOVES cheerleaders! We happen to be fortunate enough to have an awesome babysitter that is also a cheerleader! We went to see her cheer and Cam got to watch the JV football game and everyone had a ball!

He's lovin' it...

Cameron is really enjoying football. Today he wouldn't stop until he got the flag (Even if the boy already crossed into the endzone!) He scored twice and got quite a few tackles (flags) - but most importantly - he LOVED it.

At the end, his coach awarded him with the "medal" for this week. He had THE CUTEST smile on his face. He was so proud.

He promptly got in the car and PASSED OUT!

Oh yeah - and then there's us ....

I'm always posting about the kids - I totally forgot to mention that Austin starts a new job on Monday! FINALLY he will no longer be doing support ... if someone's system goes down, HE WON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!! He's going to be designing systems. And I'm so SO happy to have my husband back! (Did I mention that I'M HAPPY!!!) Yay for us. Please, say a prayer that this is a good for our family as we hope it will be ;)

My life in pictures ...

Wow - it seems like, since school started, I have even less time to post. But I still take pictures :)

I'll try to at least post pics throughout the week so you know what's going on.

Yesterday as I was running around trying to get things ready to go to the Book Fair and go see McKenna play soccer, the kids were outside doing some of their favorite things. I had to snap a quick pic - it's times like these that we take for granted but are SO precious!!!

Cameron is playing with his new favorite toy - Bakugan - he LOVES them...and will most likely ask you to buy him 1 (or 6) for his birthday ... AND Christmas :)

Kennedy is jumping on the trampoline... she LOVES gymnastics and cheerleading. She also LOVES her Hannah Montana shirt. She gets her grove on to "It's the BESSSSSSSSSSSSSST of BOFFFF WOLDDDDDDDDDDs" numerous times a day.

Then there's the babe - who is exceptionally cute these days. I just look at his face and smile. He's SO darn cute ... (and he's actually sleeping a bit better). He's sucking on the strap of the car toy. Gross - maybe - but he LOVES it!

I don't even think that I posted about Kennedy having a hard time at preschool. It was so rough the first few times. They had to pull her off of me screaming and crying. This was so surprising, it's the same classroom that Cameron is in. She LOVES it there - she's attended vacation bible school there - so what's the deal??? Well, she's getting better. We've had two days with no tears at all!!! It helps that McKenna's brother is in her class!!!

Cameron is learning SO much at school. I'm so proud of him - and so pleased with his teacher Ms. Gorsuch! He's been SUCH a good listener lately and such a big helper.

And Cohen....well, he isn't fighting his sleep as much during the day. Which is a HUGE help for me. I hurt my back almost 2 weeks ago and it's just now starting to get better....it was so hard to bop him around and fight him to get him to go to sleep for 10 days! But he's getting better ... and he actually slept thru the night two nights ago. I know, the kid is almost 8 months old, he SHOULD be! I'm going to have to up my rate for Natalie when she comes to stay with the kids when we go to San Diego - which will be here before I know it!!!!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHH. Sorry Natalie, you may not get to sleep thru the night on Thursday night, but they are adorable, hopefully that makes up for it :)

They're even adorable when their big sister bonks them on the head with the handle bar of their bike!
