Aunt May-Nay

We all love you!!! These are HOT glasses, we see why you liked them!

They WON!!!

School has been in for two months now and the girls just love. In the last few weeks both Maizie and Madie have won prizes at school.

Madie was a lucky winner of a poster at her book fair. Of course she picked Hannah Montana and her name was called over the loud speaker. She was the only one in first grade to win. She was telling me that she was keeping her fingers crossed and was so excited when the principal called her name.

This past week the girls had a costume contest at school. You had to dress up like you were from another country. Maizie was so happy that her Aunt Kristy let her borrow her hat from London. It is one of the hat the the men wear at the changing of the guards. Her Aunt helped put the whole outfit together, I only cut out a few paper buttons to put on her shirt. When I went to get the girls from school Maizie came running over telling me how she won the contest ( and still wearing the hat in 100+ weather) She also won a poster, she picked horses. ( Ha!)

Preslie is Here

Preslie was born August 12, 2009 at 9:27 p.m. and measured 7 pounds 15 ounces and 19 1/2 inches. We will write more later with details, but we are so grateful that our sweet little girl is finally here. Thank you all for your prayers, love, support, and help with the other kids.

Times almost up!

So in the morning we head in to have little Preslie. Wow, time is here, I am ready , but not ready to bring a new baby home. Holy Cow. This is way more frightening then having my first, because when I get home I have 5 others who are going to need me. It will all work out, right? Well, we will let you all know when she gets here. I am excited to meet and see this new little baby!!

Trip to the Dentist

The three younger kids had dentist appointments this week, and, between the three of them, NO CAVITIES! Lillie's expression probably best depicts how the rest of us feel about the dentist. Cooper is just happy to not have to get knocked out and have work done again. And Rylie's "cheese" pic was taken right after she got done with the dentist. Rylie is very conscious about food getting stuck in her teeth and often will go searching for floss around the house, then lays down and opens her mouth wide to have her teeth cleaned. Funny little girl. Overall, the kids are pretty good because they love their dentist and it is usually painless.

First Day of School!!!

M and M started school last Monday, July 27th, which seems a bit early for school to begin, but they get 2 weeks off in October and two weeks off for Spring Break. And with it being so hot outside, why not be inside learning, right? The girls love their teachers and their new school, Patterson elementary. Maizie has taken it upon herself to start drafting book reports now because she will be required to submit reports to her teacher later in the school year. Since she read about 40 chapter books this summer, she should have plenty of books to report on. Madilyn really likes the technology class she has each week and has also taken a liking to math. We are all excited for the new school year!!!
