Sadies first field trip

Sadie's preschool had a field trip to the local library today then they went to the big play park behind it to play and have lunch. When I showed up to get her she was soaked head to toe! There is a water spicket that she was playing in, can't say I'm surprised:) Good thing we were on the golf cart! And she actually ate her entire lunch! She is usually distracted when we try to do picnics or eat with other people so I was very proud of her! She said she had fun but she missed her classroom:) I got a few shots of her with my phone next to the fountain outside the library and they turned out better then a lot of my actual camera pictures....

Never a dull moment

Just thought I'd share how easily kids are entertained sometimes:)

Sadies first haircut

Since the only curls I ever had were thanks in part to my mom and pink sponge rollers, I never thought my little girl would have curls! I really wanted to wait for Sadie's hair to be longer before her first cut so we could get a great first curl for her baby book~yeah I'm weird! Sadly to say she doesn't like me to fix it or clip her hair back out of her face so it was time for a cut to help clean it up. It was just not looking cute in pictures! I took her to see my friend Secret who does my hair and the boys and Sadie did pretty well considering she's Sadie!



She just got a trim but I decided to give her bangs. I took her home and we played with it for a bit. I'm still not sure about the bangs but I do see her pretty eyes now which is great!

Papa's quick visit

My dad and step-mom came down for a visit Saturday. I took the boys and picked them up from the airport Then, of course, had to hit up dads favorite chinese buffet....
Then it was back to the house where they took all 3 kids on a golfcart/ bike ride while Justin and I got a few things down around the house! I couldn't help but think that some kids are actually lucky enough to have grandparents that come by, take them to play for a little bit and give the parents a brake at the same time! Dad you need to move closer!! All the kids have such a blast when he comes to visit:) I mean look how much fun they have!








So dad noticed his hair in this one and Ethan tried to help him fix it....

Then Sadie wanted to try....
Much better pops!
After many failed battery attempts, the kids held on long enough and got a good shot with Nina:)


It was way too short of a visit but we'll take any papa and nina time we can get! Sadie's still talking about not being able to go to Kentucky with papa! hehehehe

Farmers Market

We have a local farmers market that comes every other Saturday or so and we still haven't been to check it out. So yesterday morning we loaded up on the golf cart and went to see what goodies they had! When I told Gage where we were going he got so excited, ran upstairs and grabbed his tooth fairy money that he's been saving. We were hoping for apples.... Unfortunately, it must not be the prime of the harvesting season because there were no apples. We did get some Georgia peaches and are waiting for them to soften up a bit. I'm sure they will be delicious! The last stand we saw was pumpkins so of course Gage go so excited, pulled out his very own dollar and got a pumpkin!


I had to spring for Sadie's and Ethan's, neither have been visited by the tooth fairy yet!


The kids love their pumpkins but I'm afraid its going to be a huge task keeping them in one piece until it's pumpkin carving time!

Boys Night Out

Justin's boss got him and the rest of his employees tickets to the Emory Healthcare 500 last Sunday. It was at Atlanta Motor Speedway which is only like 30 minutes away. There's just something about loud, roaring cars going around in circles like 500 times that boys absolutely love! Justin was able to take his dad and both Gage and Ethan. They had a blast! They got there early and Papa Anthony bought the boys there very own '10 race car! (looks the same as the .97 cent matchbox cars at Wal-mart but according to the boys they are way cooler!)
Here's Justin, Gage & Ethan waiting around for the race to start!

I love Ethan's face here!

Great shot of the night race....

Thanks to Papa Anthony for taking some great pictures! I'm lucky if Justin gets me 1 picture when he goes out with the boys....
