September Round Up

Here is a recap in pictures of our September.

Uncle Bo and Aunt Jackie got married in Atlanta.  We left Friday morning at 4:51am and made it to Atlanta by 4pm.  It was a long drive but we were all excited about the weekend.  The boys were most excited about the indoor pool.  

The Holman grandkids 

First time in blazers and bowties for Hughes and Banks.

A quick pic before the rehearsal dinner.  Sadly I did not get one of us before the wedding.

Messing around before school one morning.  All three of the boys have liked their teachers but Collins is definitely the most excited on MWF mornings.  He runs into the school smiling :)

I am Hughes' den leader this year for Wolf scouts.  I have 7 boys in my den.  We'll see how it goes!

Playing around before church one morning.

And, soccer has started.

Banks plays two 24 minute games every Saturday and Hughes plays two 40 minute games.

September was fun but I'm ready for October.  I've put our Halloween decorations out and am ready for the Fall.

First Day of Preschool for Collins

Last child to start preschool!  I'm not sure whether to cry or smile.

Collins started Aldersgate Day School in the Pre-3's Class today.  He will go three mornings a week and his teachers are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Allen.  He was very excited this morning about his backpack and going to play with his new friends.

Collins barely gave me a wave over the shoulder before jumping right in and playing with the trucks.  I had no doubt this is how it would go down.  Homeboy knows I'm going to come back for him and he loves to play.

Shot on the steps before we leave and a big brother shot.

All three in school - 2nd, Preschool, K5

This is the same outfit and backpack that Hughes and Banks also started preschool in.  They both started when they were 2 so bear that in mind when looking at the bottom pictures.

Happy 6th Birthday, Banks!

Birthday season is upon us and it started off with a bang with Banks' 6th birthday!

We started the morning off right with a dozen Krispy Kreme.  I mean, what says Happy Birthday more than a dozen of these sweet, sugary delectables?

Banks was a huge fan.  (so were his brothers)

After this healthy breakfast, we got dressed and turned on GameDay.  Banks loves sports so he was all for it.  And, then it was time for a few presents.

Banks were super excited about his new Wii game.  This boy has an addiction and it's bad.

 

Excuse the sideways shot but this is his reaction to birthday cash.

After a few family presents, we (by we I mean I) continued to get ready for the big birthday party we were having the next day.  

It was a baseball party down at the park by our house.

Now, it was time to hit some water balloons.  This ended in a water balloon fight with David taking one directly to the back.

Cupcake time!

They were like savages.

The party was a hit.  The birthday boy had a great time and loved his baseball party!  This mama is glad to have it behind her - 1 down, 2 to go.
