Relishing the moment

I relish these two precious babies! Time passes way too quickly but I enjoy them each and every day! There is nothing more precious than time!

Lots of rain but feeling a bit cooler…

We have been up to all kinds of fun stuff lately… There have been more days of rain than you can imagine but we are getting some cooler weather. 

It was such a beautiful evening the other night, the kids and I took a little bike ride around the block three times. Juliette has become quite the pro on the bike!

Buckwheat the new bunny is still a huge hit at Tessa and Doh's house. Doh found a special leash to walk a bunny around with. As you can imagine Juliette would be ecstatic! That was her big treat on Saturday.

The Gamecocks had a terrible loss Saturday evening. It was nice to see that someone in the house was unphased...

We have found a few rainless days and during that time have been busy making "acorn cakes" in the pool...

And not even the rain could keep a smile off this sweet girl's face!

Boosterthon

Juliette had her big school fundraiser today, Boosterthon! The children had a blast over the past week. It is a great fundraiser in that the students get sponsored by laps that they run. They have pep rallies for a week before and talk about friendships, being good friends to each other and other really positive messages to kids. Juliette ran 32 laps today and we were all very proud of all of her efforts.

A job well done to "Ms. Clair's Classy Rockers"

His favorite…. the hungry caterpillar jammies!

Does the little guy look proud of himself?

Exhaustion hit

We did an all day road trip to Myrtle Beach! Look who both just crashed on the way home! Such a fun day at the outlets shopping for my little people.

Why does bath time always become so comical?

Hilarious little fella...

This hilarious little fella last night while jumping on the couch told me…. 

"Mommy, my toot had a burp…"

I just almost died laughing out loud! Boys are the funniest!

Speaking of a funny fella, Tripp is loving little school. He is so social and cannot wait to get into the door to play bulldozer, blocks, and kitchen. 

He is almost 100% done potty training which has been wonderful! Two weeks of solid work and bribery with m&m's, gummy life savers, and other little treats and this guy now means business. He is enjoying wearing all of his big boy pants!

I took a picture of Juliette on her first day of school with her first little masterpiece. Look who came on the first day of school with the same masterpiece. "A" is for alligator!  Look how happy both of them look!

Love to see my little ones so happy! Happy babies make a happy Mama!

First morning to be dropped off...

And on the first official morning to be dropped off… I walked Tripp in, he wanted to go and pee pee and then he was off like a champ! No tears, no one upset and he was ready for a super fun day!

Tripp's first piece of artwork!

When Tessa picked him up on the playground, he was pushing a shopping cart around! It is so funny, at this age kids have no sense of playing with others! Each plays independently of the other! They develop playing together as the year goes on. 

I know he is going to have a super year!

Happy Boykin Spaniel's day

Love from Gypsy, Gracie and their sweet cousin Ashley Bell
