A LONG while! I can't believe, well yes I can...that it has been nearly 5 months since I have posted a blog. So here is a brief, very brief recap of the last few months.
July- My babie girls Caleigh Paige and Claire Brooke celebrated there 3rd birthday on July 3rd. We had a princess birthday party and the girls had a blast. It was low key for us anyway, but still a very enjoyable day for the girls!! They wanted purple bicycles and got some very cute purple princess bikes!!! Love em' but still trying to figure them out to this day.
August- Baby Maggie Gean Wilson joined our family on August 5th!!! Maggie is super cute and the kids just can't get enough of her. She is double special to me, since she is my first neice (her daddy Cody and Jacob are brothers) and my second cousin (her mama Marci is my 1st cousin). And NO we aren't form Arkansas!!!
Sepetember- Colton started school!!!! We didn't enroll him before school, we thought I ought to be able to get him ready for kindergarten, but the more I heard from parents of kids in the pre-k program, the more I was afraid he might be behind starting kindergarten. So the middle of September we talked about it and talked to him about it, and he, Jacob and I agreed that we would sign him up. He LOVES it. Just this past week he has decided that I don't have to walk him into school anymore like I have up until now.
Also in Sept. my daddy turned the big 5-0!!! He had a birthday party at his house, after 20 something years he has finally got the shack he has wanted for a pool house and the party was there around the pool. A large time was had by all!!
October- It rained, and rained and rained some more....thats about all we did last month was watch it rain.
November- Jacob celebrated #28 on the 1st and we had a nice uneventful day as a family. This past Thursday he, his daddy, brother, friend Dusty, and Roger headed to Alpine, Texas to go quail hunting. I will have to make a whole other post about their trip. They will be home sometime tomorrow and I will definately have some pics to share.
The kids and I headed to Cass County to my mom and dads deer lease to spend the afternoon today, and had a very enjoyable time. I took Colton for a short ride on the 4-wheeler to the pond and we found some flat bottom boats and paddles, so I talked him into a little ride...not too sure he really enjoyed that. Then I took the girls for the same little adventure. Claire loved it!! Caleigh held on to Claires skirt the hold time and kept saying, "Claire, hold on!" They are so sweet and so different it amazes me. Claire was not ready to get out of the boat and Caleigh said, "This not fun for me, Mommy". We went back to camp and Colton and I shot his .410 a couple of times then he and Poppy road down to the deer stand to check things out then walked to another one. My little man is getting ready now to spend the night there with them, and go hunting bright and early in the morning. He has all his gear layed out and ready!!!
Sorry this is so long, and there are no pictures. I keep thinking I will try to do better, and its not that I don't have time or can't make it, I just haven't done well keeping up.
