First Day of School

The first day of school was August 18th. This year was a lot easier since both kiddos went to school here last year. We started the morning with our annual back-to-school breakfast!

Then it was time to take the obligatory first day pictures! Love this big boy!

And this girl looks so old, where have the years gone???? Love her!

We almost forgot her necklace that she wears every year for the first day. 

Outside of her classroom. This year her class is downstairs!

Miss Steinhoff and Chloe. This is Miss Steinhoff's 6th year teaching. She will be getting married next summer and moving to Dallas!

Chloe's morning work and daily agenda:

Coleman's class was a lot busier! It was hard to get a picture in front of his class.

 

          Coleman and Mrs. Seizinger

Clay needed a picture too. He needed everyone to see his new backpack and water bottle!

Coleman working on his morning work!

I got one last picture of him working before I left!

After we dropped the kids off this big boy got a haircut. I just asked for a trim, but she kept cutting and cutting!

We picked the kids up, YEAH!!!!!

And then of course we had to go to the pool to relax and unwind!

Dallas Mission Trip #2

We took our second trip to inner city Dallas to work with Cornerstone Church this last weekend. We sorted clothes, painted a house, served in the soup kitchen, worked on an apartment and visited a nursing home. 

Bubbles

Clay and I had an evening to ourselves and he wanted to take a bubble bath with lots of bubbles. Clay truly has such an amazing smile!

  

#gg14

The last weekend of June my college friends and I had a girls weekend. We wanted a very low-key weekend, so we headed to Corsicana. We had such a fun time and did lots of laughing!!!

On our way we saw a sign for the Lake and Jess said, that was the worst lake! It was great to tell her that is where we were headed. I'm pretty sure she will always win the funniest comment on every trip. 

We are not A&M girls, but Holly posed like we were!

We all brought a fave thing to share, they had to be 10$ or less.

The is Scone. Jess made her family recipe, that I would like to rename Cake!

If was incredibly windy, but we needed a picture by the lake. 

I loved my weekend with these girls! They are such a blessing to me!!!

Fourth of July

This is the first 4th of July I can ever remember staying in town. We went to some friends house for dinner and fireworks!

Six Flags

Sunday we went to church like any normal Sunday. I started talking to the one of the college teachers and he told me they were going to 6 Flags. I'm not sure he really asked us to come, but when he told me they had extra tickets and hotel rooms I said we'll go! 

We would be leaving that afternoon for a quick trip to Arlington. We rode in the church vans and got to our hotel about 10. The next morning our family had fun at 6 Flags and then drove back home. Clay fell asleep for 15 minutes from the hotel to Spring Creek. He woke up in the worst 

Mood!!!! He wanted lemonade, but they didn't have any. He then wanted root beer. I don't normally let him have the kind with the caffeine, but we were desperate to get him to calm down. The four hour trip home he was very happy and very awake. I think we got home at 12am. The root beer was worth it!!!!
