Practice Photo Shoot

I have a friend in Wylie who is starting up her photography business and she was asking for subjects to practice on for free! I said, "sign me up!". The kids were really wound up that day and it was hard to get them to sit still for anything but she was patient and did a WONDERFUL job! Actually...Heather Hampson's, of Heather Hampson Photography, daughter is in my class this year. I told her I have more control of my class than my own kids!

2013 Pumpkin Patch

Once again we took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum to see the beautiful pumpkins! Cason, Molly and I met my parents there. Anytime Grandad and BeBe come the kids know it will be fun! It was SUPER hard to get pictures of the kiddo's this year. I think I say that every year but each year gets harder and harder! The really good pictures are grandads!

Molly's First Haircut

If you have seen Molly lately then you know that she has A LOT of curly hair! Unfortunately it was starting to get a lot of tangles so I decided it was time for her to go get a haircut! I was thinking she would get a couple of inches cut off but when we got to Cool Cuts For Kids the lady cutting her hair told me that if we cut her curls off now they wouldn't grow back. So I panicked and had them take 1/2 an inch off. I LOVE her curls!!!!!!

First Day of Preschool

Cason started preschool this week! We decided to do something a little different this year and send him to First Baptist Wylie 3 days a week. Their hours are 8:30-12:30 and that works good for us dropping him off and picking him up. In addition to learning normal preschool stuff, he has a music and Spanish class. He came home and Wednesday and told me he learned the Spanish word rojo! He was so proud! His first week went great until he got strep throat and had to miss Friday. After preschool and on Tuesdays and Thursdays he goes to his beloved Myrna's house! I think this is going to be a good year for him!!!

Cason's Summer

Cason has had a busy summer! His biggest accomplishment is learning how to swim! He can go anywhere he wants to in the pool right now if he puts his mind to it. He is still a little scared to swim out into the middle of the pool but he will swim in the shallow areas and close to the steps. He also can dive down and get toys off the bottom of the pool! Toby and I are so proud of him!

This summer Cason also saw his first movie in a movie theater! While we were in Lubbock in July Toby and I took him and his cousin Travis to see Monsters University. He did a pretty good job! He got a little nervous in parts but other than that he did great! Since then we have taken him to see Planes in the theater too. We are officially a movie going family now!

At the theater in Lubbock with Travis

He's so excited!

Here are some other fun things he did this summer...

BeBe and Grandad took Cason and Reid to a cooking class at their gym. Cason loved it!

Grandad and BeBe also took the grand kids to the Perot Science Museum.

Feeling what an earthquake would feel like!

A tornado!

Toby took Cason and Molly to the Fort Worth Zoo while I was away on a girls weekend. They met their Lubbock cousins there!

Molly's Summer

Little Miss Molly has had a busy summer just like her brother! She has gone swimming a ton and loves it! She even took swim lessons and is actually getting the hang of it! She went to our church's summer camp 3 times this summer. Her teachers loved her and she had a good time! Her and I also went to Tiny Tot's and Tunes a couple times at our church. Molly loves to sing and dance! Right now her favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me, Baby Bumble Bee, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Head Shoulders Knees and Toes. Unfortunately I somehow did not get ANY pictures of these activities. But here are some pictures of our summer that I did manage to take...
