Hi ho Hi ho It's off to ScHoOL we go....

Cole was very excited for his 1st day of Preschool!!
Sporting his awesome DARTH VADER backpack and lunch box to match ;)

One last hug for mama before I am forced to spend 5 WHOLE hours by-my-self...  
And he just ran in that "fish" classroom like he owned the place, I'd say he's ready for school!
Kindergarten already???? Really????
In preparation for the BIG day we read many books about the 1st day of Kindergarten. My favorite was The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. For those who haven't read it...Chester the raccoon is nervous about leaving his mama. So mama raccoon kisses Chester in the palm of his hand and says when you are sad and missing me put your palm to your cheek and this kiss will remind you that mama loves you! ...
...Well Miss Courtney has been begging for the Taylor Swift perfume. So I got it for her as her 1st day of kindergarten gift and when she opened it I sprayed some on her wrist and told her... 
This is YOUR kissing hand, today when you feel lonely and start missing mama smell you wrist and know that I  ♥♥♥ you.
Brother and sister love!


Welcome to Independence Elementary 

Courtney and her wonderful teacher Mrs. Trautman, we LOVE her teacher.
James thought it would be funny to take a picture of poor mama BAWLING her eyes out walking away from the classroom. He's so sensitive like that!

Big hugs for the new kicks!

Cole has a thing for jumping on Uncle Ricky's head...such a good sport Uncle Ricky, although you do antagonize him ;) 
We have WAYYYY to much fun with Spiderman and Darth Vader

Visit to the stockyards, riding a longhorn,  just another day in TX.

Where Dreams Come True!

IT's MAGICAL!!!! We were blessed enough to spend 2 days in the Magic Kingdom in Disney World! This was James and the kiddos 1st trip to Disney and they were all amazed. Courtney LOVED meeting all of the Princesses and Cole enjoyed meeting all the characters and rides. I don't know who's reactions I enjoyed watching more James or the kids. 
Welcome!
He was a little excited!
What wonderful memories we've made!
Uncle Joe needed a little sunscreen. "Silly Uncle Joe"
