| Jaymon with some of his preschool buddies. |
 |
| Our zoo is not the greatest, so one of the highlights is this big giraffe slide! |
 |
| Ray got to come along for the trip. |
 |
| Nice ears, Buddy! |
 |
| Look what just hatched! :) He's so cute! |
 |
| I don't think I would want to be the mama bird for this nest! :) |
 |
| Jaymon's class |
 |
| This was Jaymon's first time playing on a soccer team, and he has just LOVED it! Every week he looks forward to Saturday so that he can go to his soccer game. |
 |
| This is a shot of one of the many goals Jaymon made this season. He has been SO fun to watch because he is so passionate about playing and has such a great time. |
 |
| This particular game he scored 6 goals (which is about the average for him!). :) |
 |
| Coleton also loves playing soccer and plays every chance he gets. All the extra work and practice he puts in has made him into a good little player! |
 |
| One of the goals Coleton scored (he is in the red). |
 |
| Look at the concentration on T.J.'s face! I am not a big sports fan, but I sure do love watching these boys play! |
 |
| Go T.J.! |
 |
| T.J. scoring a goal! :) |
 |
| Our little Jaymon is growing up and (as he will remind us) is not so little anymore. He started preschool this year with the same teacher that all of his older siblings had for preschool. This lady (Danene) teaches in the basement of her house and the kids just love her! Jaymon has been watching as his older siblings would go to preschool in past years, so he was very excited that it was finally his turn! |
 |
| My big boy! |
 |
| This is his preschool room complete with lots of toys - every kid's dream! :) |
 |
| After his first day with his hat that he made. It is going to be a great year! |
 |
| Tylor decided to try running cross country for his middle school this year. He enjoyed it and improved his time at every meet. These pictures were taken at the District Meet on a very cold and rainy day. |
 |
| Quite the mob! |
 |
| Go Tylor! |
 |
| So proud of him! |
 |
| Tylor and his good friend, Brayden. |
 |
| Ray has had quite the love affair with these boots. He wore them nearly everyday last Fall and Winter and would get so excited to put them on (because that would mean that he was going to go somewhere). Ray wore these boots until they were falling apart and starting to smell a little funny. :) I even tried to Super-glue the soles back on so that he could keep wearing them, but eventually I had to give up on the beloved boots because his little feet had grown too big. We tried to put the boots away, but Ray found them and was trying to wear them again (even though they totally didn't fit). So, I do this post so that someday when Ray is older he can remember his favorite boots and maybe can find a bigger, similar pair! |
 |
| We let T.J. open his gifts from our family on his birthday to celebrate the "actual" day, and then we let him have a party with his friends and cousins about a week later. |
 |
| You have to love Jaymon in his Halloween costume! (I bought it early to try to be prepared for Halloween, but Jaymon will probably change his mind and want to be something else by the time the end of October gets here - that is the way it goes with kids!) :) |
 |
| My good buddy! I love his kid! |
 |
| I wasn't really wanting to make a cake after doing 2 wedding cakes in August, but T. J. really wanted me to make him a pirate cake, so how could I refuse? |
 |
| The kids played on the waterslide and had snacks at the party. |
 |
| Blowing out the candles (except they were the kind that re-light by themselves, so he had to blow them out a few times!). :) |
 |
| The pirate pinata |
 |
| Presents from friends |
 |
| Coleton really wanted to do a fishing game for the party, so he and Taylie set one up. |
 |
| Some of the kids' cousins also came over. These two little buddies are our nieces, Savannah and Sorelle. |
 |
| Taylie ran for 6th grade Senator for Student Council at school and was so excited when she won! Taylie and Tylor are trying to run the school I guess! :) Tylor is the 8th grade President, and we are very proud of them both. |
