Farm Day Videos

A Day at the Farm

Saturday we went to a place in Southaven called Kidz Kountry. This was for a friends birthday party. It is basically a small farm set up for kids to be able to interact with the animals and feed them, ride a pony, etc. It was so much fun! Drew loved all of it. He was not scared of any of them. It was really a lot of fun and it was a beautiful fall day so it was perfect for being outside for the party. Enjoy the pics and video!

A Positive Result!!!

 

Well as you can see from the picture we are pregnant!!!! I am so very excited. We have been trying for over 18 months now and God's timing has finally come! We will not see the doctor until Oct 14 but this is the third test I have taken and gotten back a positive result so we feel pretty confident sharing the news. We will likely have a due date of mid to late May. We have not shared the news with Drew yet. We will wait until after the dr visit so we can tell him exactly when the baby will be here. He has been praying for a baby for some time now. Please pray for us as we travel through this journey in our life. Our desire is for a happy and healthy baby and an uncomplicated pregnany. We want to make that our prayer and the one you will pray for us.

Spiderman Costume

Well yesterday we were at Walmart and they had finally put out their costumes. I saw this one and knew that Drew had ask to be Spider man this year. It was very affordable, only $13, so I went ahead and bought it. I am sure if I waited until closer to Halloween that they would not have a good selection. Of course he had to try it on when we got home. He is very cute in it. He surprised Jim when he got home from work by jumping out and yelling boo at him. I am glad to know that I have that item behind us and do not have to be in a rush to get something closer to time. We will have our fall festival at church on the Wednesday before Halloween and then we are going to have an Awana hayride on that Friday, so he will get 2 good wears out of it.

I picked up a little puppy from school!

When I got to the school yesterday to pick up Drew, this is what I saw walking to my car! Doesn't he look cute? The letter for this week has been P, so they had pet day today. The parent's could bring pets up there for the kids to see. We do not have any pets right now so I did not go, but Drew said there were puppies and even some bunnies and he got to hold them. He was excited. I could not believe he let them put the paint on his nose. He has never let his face be painted. We try every year at the fall festival and other special things where they are doing that at church and he wants no part of it. However he did insist that I take it off as soon as we got to our first stop on our afternoon of errands. It was hard to get off too, it was real paint!

First Soccer Game

Well here we are at our first soccer game. He did really good although it took him a little while to understand that you have to fight to kick the ball. In practice they all take turns and he was expecting his turn to kick there in the game! It was so very hot when we played. I ended up with a pretty bad sunburn on my arm that was due to the high wind we were having thanks to Ike. We will not be able to make this weeks game as it is on Friday night and we will be in OB cheering on the Quistors!

First Soccer Practice

Team Learning the Basics

 

Matthew, smiling at his Auntie K! I got to keep him while practice was going on.

 

Well Drew has started playing soccer this fall. It is at my sister's church and she and her husband are the coaches. So he is playing soccer with his best bud and favorite cousin, Ben! It was so much fun to see him play and I think he will be pretty good at it. He seems to be doing pretty good at kicking the ball and getting it in the direction he needs to go. I played soccer as a kid so this is special to me for him to be playing it. I will have more pics and videos to come when we start playing games. Enjoy these though!!

Labor Day

 

 

Well we are doing nothing today! We spent all day Saturday cleaning house and doing yardwork so that today we can just relax! Posting this blog is the most taxing thing I plan to do today. This was Drew in the bed this morning after 8am, and yes we all slept that late. I hope everyone else is enjoying a relaxing day today. I am heading in the kitchen to prepare us some pancake and eggs to start our day off!

Bathroom Makeover Complete

Here are a couple of pics of our bathroom. It is done! Well, all except the trim for the floor, but that is not big deal. My dad completed the grouting in this room on Thursday. It looks wonderful! Thank you dad!!
