First Day of Kindergarten!!
Colton eating his First Day of school breakfast, his favorite, bacon and eggs and biscuits, yummy!
Humoring mama for a before school shot! Isn't he cute :)
We went straight in and he sat down at his spot he chose at Meet the Teacher night.
And quickly went to work :) Colton isn't one to talk about school, but you can tell he really likes it (o.k. recess and p.e. are his favorites). But he is so smart. He acts like he doesn't know anything new, but he read the first sentence of a not sent home by his teacher today (11/11/10).

I am amazed at how quickly he seems to learn and pick things up.

Colton with his eyes open this time. He was so ready to go to the school to meet Mrs. Craig officially as his kindergarten teacher. He already knew her from VBS and his little buddy Sam is her grandson. All of us went to the school and went to see his classroom. He took all his school supplies and picked out the seat he would start school in the following week.

My Babies are 4!
My Caleigh and Claire turned 4 on July 3. Yes, I realize that was 2 months ago. But this week while Colton was at school, we decided to ride around Omaha and Naples to take some pictures of the girls while they are semi still barely 4.
Claire, always cheesin :)

One of the perks to living in a small old town....lots of good picture taking places.
I had the hardest time getting them to both look at the camera.
I have been eyeballing this old barn across the road for the past two years thinking about taking pictures in front of it. Well, I finally just did it.
I didn't even have to force them to hold hands.
pretty
Caleigh Paige, you are so sweet and genuine. You make my heart smile everytime I see your sweet smile. Your sister is definately the dominant one, but you are the care taker. You make sure I know what everyone is or isn't doing, and we are working on the tattling part, but I love your concern for everyone around you. But at the same time, I think you are going to be the sneaky one.
Claire Brooke, you are sweet too, but also SO mischevious. I won't ever have to wonder what you are up to. Your evil (but so cute) little laugh will always give you away (if Caleigh doesn't first). You have taken such a huge interest in learning recently, and want to be in the spotlight with everything you do. I love the zest for life you have.
I am so proud of the little girls my babies have grown into. They definately keep their daddy and me on our toes, and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Caleigh and Claire.

Amber Graduates!!
So, the reason we chose Stephenville as our family vacation spot was becasue my baby sister was graduating from college. Amber attended Tarleton State University and received a Bachelors degree in Animal Production.

Vacation day 3....Dublin Dr. Pepper Plant
On Friday, we drove to Dublin to the oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant. While we were there, we visited Doc's Soda shop and went on a tour to see the equipment used to bottle the origional recipe of DP using pure cane sugar instead of corn syrup. We were also treated to a nice cold Dr Pepper while on the tour.
There was a very impressive collection of old signs and memorbila from the company like the sign above.
This is part of the machine used in the bottling process. Can you see the red marker on the right hand side of the picture? We were asked to guess what its function was. After a few tries and no one in our group guessing right, the girl leading us told us that it is their dating system. How simple and amazing that this is still their method. The color of the marker is changed 4 times a year, and that is how they know when the product was made.
Here, the bottles have been filled with syrup and carbonation, and are going into these four slots for a 3 step rotation to be mixed. After they have been mixed, the ingredients will never seperate.
I don't remember what step this is.
