busted bubby

This kid is into everything. I would rather him pull my flowers out of the pot then to mess with daddy o's new tv though ;) But, COME ON little man - this poor little pot is like the last of my living flowers (in pots) I mean couldn't he have left them alone until they die in like a month? We are really working on this NO thing - and so far it isn't working...hmmm he's the third kid...shouldn't we have this down by now????????

Haircuts and pony rides

Well...we found a horse in the park, had our last playdate with BFF Lilli and Jagger had his first haircut...The fun of FALL :) We got really lucky that we showed up at the right park that day - there are tons of parks between Wamego and Manhattan ~ it was a great surprise!!

Lilli is Ella's best friend from preschool and her family is moving out of state. These girls are like two peas in a pod if you can believe there is another one out there (almost) like Ella! We are sad to see them go. We have enjoyed their family and our playdates!

I went back and fourth on getting Jagger's hair cut....I do like it but it does make him look a tad more grown up which is hard for me.

Hope you all are enjoying your fall!!!

My babies minus one...

Justin and the little gals went to a tailgate party before one of the Kstate games. They have a lot of fun running around and eating ;) Jagger and I stayed home this time but we will all go soon. This is one of the fun perks of living in Manhattan. These people are crazy over their wildcats.  

Jagger's Day (17mos)

So now that the girls are busy - Jagger is getting MUCH more time for boy things such as exploring & getting dirty:) I didn't have to take him in a stroller & we were not looking for Ella the whole time. This trip to the park was all about Jagger!!!


He somehow turned the water on all by himself!
He really loves anything with wheels - he also liked the tractor behind him - sorry I can't get this pic to flip :(

Oh yeah - HAVE to take a drink - right?!?!? He was so wet after this that he had to ride home naked!!! He had a BLAST!

He thought about this one a couple of times before he actually went. He did it on his belly with feet first & loved it :)

I did have a hard time keeping him from throwing rocks ....I'm guessing it might take a while with boys anyway...right? Isn't that the normal boy thing to do :) I'm sure a few more trips this fall & he will figure it out!

Oh MY, Oh MY, Oh MY

Our 3rd grader with her teacher Mrs Addcock

OH MY ~ Where did the summer go?!?!? I know I have pics to share but I'm going to have to skip ahead and let you share in the first day of school with us! First of all ~ ELLA BELLA KAY WARD is in KINDERGARTEN (tear) and GRACIE GIRL is in 3rd grade (tear again!)?? This is just crazy!!! They had a great first morning. I did notice several different facial expressions with Ella: pure excitement, curiosity, and just that silly look she has all the time. I am so sad that I didn't get a pic with her and her teacher - I just had all of my own emotions going on and forgot! I did not cry (some of you might not be shocked) but I SO wish I was there watching thru a little window right now! Gracie was really cute sitting at her table. She picked the "gold" colored table for MU to make her daddy proud. Gracie is a different girl at school - I wonder if Ella will be too??? I guess time will tell and as long as the phone isn't ringing then the principal isn't calling - right?!? :)

Softball is over :(

Well I'm not sure who is more upset about softball being over, Me or Graice?!? Hmm...all though it is now HOT enough that it is kind of a blessing :) I am so happy that she had fun. I can't believe how fast this summer is going. I'm sure most of you feel the same way but if it could just slow down a tad that would be great ;)

Softball

Ok so as you know from previous posts Gracie does not like her picture taken. With that being said, this is the best I could do. She let me snap a few very quick shots. She is LOVING softball and she is doing pretty well with it! We are having tons of fun going to her games and rooting her on :) Now when it get's hot I'm not sure I can promise that we will all feel the same way...we shall see!
