Never will we forget....

Sept. 11, Patriot Day. We dressed in our most patriotic wear, Bracken went to school and we stayed to watch a special assembly, where 2 flags were given to the school that where flown over a base in Iraq last year, by a father and soldier that just returned after a year of serving. The kids all sang My Country Tis of Thee, bringing tears to my eye, and memories of that day 8 years ago. Bracken does not fully understand, what freedom is, but he sure made this mommy proud as he taught his brother to sing with him. Bracken gets so much joy from saying The Pledge, and gets rather upset when they forget. He is my little Patriot, I would not be surprised if one day he was president. Here is to the memory of that day and to all the people who gave there lives and continue to give there lives to keep us safe and free.

For those days when you just need to smile!

Bracken's 1st day of Kindergarten

All is excited, can't wait to pick him up and see how it went.

Kindergarten Orientation

After we dropped Camden off at preschool we had Bracken's Kindergarten orientation where we get to meet his teacher and see his classroom. Bracken is very excited about starting big school but was a little worried about not knowing anyone is class but that was quickly fixed when he found out that 3 other kids from preschool were in his class, one of which was his buddy. Bracken has AM Kindergarten with Mrs Davis, and we think it is going to be great.

A boy and his toys

The little boys have been asking all about GI Joe with the movie coming out but since they are too little to see it, Matt told them he would bring home his GI Joe toys he had as a boy. Let me just say I don't know who was more excited.

Camden's 1st day of Preschool

Where has the time gone that my little Camden is starting his first day of Preschool today. He says he is going to Bracken's old school. I did have to bribe him a bit with a new toy and ice cream if there were no tears, but he was otherwise happy to go until we got there and it was time. After 2 minutes of the look of terror on his face he was a happy boy and was all smiles when I picked him up 3 hours later. Next we will see if he really means it when he says he will go back.

Random pictures the kids

Baylor's 8th Birthday. Let me just say the kids love their Baylor, especially miss Ainsley.

Vegas Aug 2009

Last year we bought tickets to the Sean Hannity's Freedom Alliance Concert, and as it so happens it coincided with Matt's trade show weekend. So we made it an outing, and took some friends with us. The concert was great, Charlie Daniels Band, Lee Greenwood, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the ever so hot Michael W Smith. It was so cool to see so many conservative in one place for a good cause in Vegas. It was a nice weekend getaway that we extended by one day for Matt to do more business. I can't wait to do it again next year.

We got teeth, well tooth really!

Ainsley had finally done it. She got her first tooth, just took about 16 months but who is counting right. Hopefully more will follow soon.
