Addie is Walking
This is going to be short and sweet...I have been meaning to update. Just wanted to share with everyone that Addie can walk. She still prefers to get around by crawling, but she took her first steps about 3 weeks ago. I will get a picture up when I take one (yes, I am a horrible mom for not already capturing this. But when I run to get my camera, she usally will not get back on her feet:))...

McCade's great since of humor
We have been in revival at church this week. It has been an amazing time with the holy spirit!
On Tuesday night (this was our healing service)...Doug and I snuck out because the service was going on past 10pm and we needed to get the kids to bed. Earlier that day, I had told McCade and Anna Claire that they would see gigi and pappy at church. Well, Doug and I picked the kids up and tried to get them to the car without causing too much of a scene. Anna Claire told us that she needed to wait for pappy and gigi...so mom told us that she would bring Anna Claire home. I went on to explain to McCade that he had school and we needed to get him into bed. He then proceeded to tell me that he would just say that he was sick and did not need to go to school in the morning. We about cracked up. Where had he heard this before??? He then showed Mimi a little scar that was on his neck. "See Mimi, I am sick. I can stay and wait for pappy and gigi."

Addie Is ONE!!!
Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl (September 18th). We celebrated with Mimi and Papa. Mommy was under the weather, so we had to postpone the birthday party for a later date.
Mimi was so nice to host us yesterday!!! Anna Claire and her made strawberry cupcakes and a little cake for Addie. Papa grilled chicken and we had a wonderful salad, green beans, and rice to accompany the meal. It was delicious! I will post pictures once Mimi sends them over.
First Day of Preschool!
McCade and Anna Claire are attending First Baptist Weekday Education in Georgetown.
McCade is in a 3 day, 3 year old class. He goes to school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. His teacher is Mrs. Dockal. He is really enjoying his teacher and classmates.
Anna Claire is in a 2 year old class. She goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her teacher is Mrs. Earp. It is so cute to hear her say Mrs. Earp. She loves her days in class.
Here are some pictures of their first day!
Pictures, Pictures, and more pictures. Here are some from our summer!
All of the pictures you will see our from our trip to San Antonio. We stayed at the Hyatt Hilton with the whole family! It was so much fun!!! McCade and even Anna Claire both went down the slides (they were not suppose to)...Doug and I got some great quality time tubing down the lazy river. Mom and dad were gracious to host all of us (including Uncle J and Uncle Nate). We had so much fun. The trip was way to short. Another fun thing that we did included a movie night outside.

This Summer In a Nutshell...
Obviously...IT HAS BEEN FOREVER!!!
Here are the happenings of this Summer.
WEDDINGS HAVE BEEN PART OF OUR LIFE! We have been to a wedding ever since March. We are still going and it is August. I think that October will be our last:)...for a little while. Happy Weddings to the following couples!
McCade is 3 1/2...He is a big boy! With that comes ATTITUDE AND OF COURSE SUPER HEROES! The list of his favorite friends include: Superman, Spiderman, Tarny (his name for Ironman), and of course he is fantatic for pirates. We have been trying to plan birthday 4, but he can not decide between Super heroes and Pirates. I continue to be amazed about how smart and sincere he is. McCade has a great imagination!!! Words you will hear from McCade's mouth are: oh my gosh, look mom, that is amazing!Friends I pray for are: Kaden, Ethan, Ryan, and Preston.
Anna Claire-the progress she has made. Her favorite book is Brown, Brown Bear (Eric Carle). We are learning colors and shapes. Anna Claire is ready for Preschool! McCade and her will be headed off in a few weeks to preschool. We have been working on respect, obedience, and sharing!!! I am praying that they will show God's love to those in their classes.
Addie Grace will be one in three weeks!!! YIKES...my baby is getting so big. Addie is so sweet. She still has no teeth. This amazes her momma (and probably still those who are breastfeeding)...I am hoping one will poke through. Addie is talking (or should I say babbling momma, dadda, bubba, baba (bottle)). She is great at climbing the stairs. This began in June. Addie loves to hang out with her sister and brother and play with them in each of their rooms! I usually get the scream to come and see what Addie is doing.
I have officially jumped backed into a paying position...I TRULY FEEL BLESSED AND AM FINALLY FEELING/SEEING GOD'S VISION FOR MY LIFE...It has been an amazing journey over this summer.
I have fought with postpartum. So, my body has literally been to HELL and back. While researching where I/Doug would like to see our children educated, I stumbled on to a school that has a vision of mixing Charlotte Mason (homeschool education) with Classical (the basics). Sterling Classical has been such a God sent to our family...I get to pray with my students every morning!!! I am learning so much with regards to History, and the English Language. My students are sincere, eager to learn, and excited about being at school. I just love my Tuesday and Thursdays!
My children have loved their break from the discipline enforcer (me)...they have gotten to be with their gigi, pappy, and mimi during these days! It has helped me value the sweet time that I do get to be with McCade, Anna Claire, and Addie...
Doug...is as usual, busy! Work is steady...PTL (praise the Lord)! He is getting to spend a little more time with the kiddos on T/Th am to help get them situated for their day. The kiddos have loved this! Doug is involved with softball at the church. He is really having fun getting to know the guys and also getting to have guy's night! We also have been getting back into a workout routine! We are loving spending time one on one (he is training me)...we count it as our date time and it has been great for our family!

MY ROMANTIC HUSBAND
It has been five years together...Doug surprised me with a wonderful date back to the place that he proposed. He put together a wonderful plate of appetizers, beverages, and did it all by surprise (Again!!!)...It has been such an amazing ride these last five years...excited to see what the next five bring:)...
Our trip to Cameron Park Zoo (Waco, TX) in early May...
I was the crazy lady with three kids under the age 3 trying to video tape and take pictures. This was Addie's first time at a Zoo...it was a fun filled day. We were all exhausted when we got home:)!!!
Happy Birthday to...
Cheri, Becky, Eliabeth, and Uncle Jonathan!!! June is a great month for birthdays...
Our Kitchen Remodel!
I decided I was ready for a change...here are our new painted cabinets!!! I was going for a country french theme. We still have to add hardware, but it is looking better. Doug is so awesome about getting things done. I started on the project and he had it done in no time.
Trip to Kansas for Rachel's wedding (end of May)...
I have been really behind in the picture gallery:)...I just realized when downloading pics that I have not posted May info! Here are some pics to Kansas. We made a pit stop in OKC to see Mom/Dad's college friends (Larry and Nancy). Thanks to Tod and Bekah for hosting the kids and I. We had a great time!!! It was so wonderful to see most of the family.
Trip to Kilgore to see Grammie
This was our trip to East Texas back in May (right around Mother's day)...here are some pics. We had a great time with Margaret and enjoyed getting to see Scott, Lori, Conner, and Brailey!
Of course, I had to include our stop on the road...we had an emergency bathroom break and everyone thought they needed to go:)...and what would a trip to see Grammie be without getting to make cookies! YUMMY...
