Lunch Bunch at the Park

Well, the clouds had us worried for a little while this morning, but by the time we arrived at the Park, all was well!!!

It was actually a beautiful day for being at the park---overcast and a little breezy...the kiddos had a great time!

They played and I snapped pics like a crazy camera lady! Kate was the first to eat her lunch because, yes, we took her "bun-box" (lunch box in Kate jabber)....so once she saw me get it out of the van and put it in her stroller she decided it was time to eat! She was quite the prissy little thing walking up to the park area all by herself..my my my she thinks she is sooo big! Then there were the big kids...Princess Kathleen and her knight in shining armour,Connor, who later became the prince and went on to be the King all in one playdate! David was the Castle dragon for a little while, then decided...nah, that wasn't for him...he was having more fun climbing and making faces for my camera! Our littlest ones in the playgroup are all showing their personalities now, and they are adorable! The youngest in the group is already 1! Happy Belated Bday Miss Karissa! Where does the time go??? Pics are of Connor and his gal pal Kathleen...Kate and her buddy Jason...Best Buds Jason & Daniel...David's Special Trick....The Big 1 yr old-Karissa.

Do we have some cutie pie kids or what????!!!

Bugaloo Supper

I think most of you know, we joined MOMS club when we moved to Pilot Point, and through it we met some really cool familes...which we then created our own playgroup with and branched off from the main big club. Our playgroup is called the Bugaloos...(can you tell how old all of us moms are? that was the name of a kid show when we were little)...we meet when we can for lunch and/or let the kids play...and when we can get our schedules together we have family dinners and the dads come too. Saturday night our family hosted the cookout..originally another mom had planned to host, but her family ended up with a yucky stomach bug, so we invited everyone to meet at our house. We sure missed having Ceci's family there but....We had a blast! Everyone brought a dish, and we grilled dogs...we stayed outside til the moon came out and the bugs started biting..then we headed inside where the little kids played in Kate's room and the bigger kids watched a Jimmy Neutron movie. 5 families including ours were there,which each have a child about Connor's age and a child about Kate's age. We were all pregnant with the second babies together! Anywho, we had a total of 19 people there, 9 adults, 10 kiddos! 2 of our youngest, Jason and Jorja are turning 2 in the next few weeks so we sang Happy Bday to them and Ms. Leslie made cupcakes for everyone...Yummo! One of the hardest things about moving in the future will be leaving our great friends...wahhhhh....but it will give them all a place to visit for summer vacations though!!! =)

Pics are of Connor and his buddy Matthew watching Jimmy Neutron; Jason, Sam, Jaret and his little sister Jorja; Kate and Willow "Wiwwow" as Kate calls her; and the last one is just an awesome Pic of Sam--Kate's buddy who was born 3 days before her.

Til next time~Kan

As Promised................

Here are the pics we took Friday morning before school...Connor Bonnor with his lunch box trying to catch the last few minutes of one of his shows before leaving for school, Miss Priss with her lunch box, yes, I know, it is as big as she is...but she is sooo proud to carry her own, just like Bubba. Plus, she is VERY aware there is FOOD for her in there so she won't let anyone touch it! The last one is just too cute of our little princess cheesin' for the camera. If you've noticed, its a little hard to catch her smiling...she smiles a lot, but when you try to snap a pic she has this totally solemn face and you can't get a smile out of her! Diva in training?! Lord, help us!! haha ~Later, Kan

First Day of School...Preschool that is!!

Connor and Kate's first day of preschool for the Fall Session was today! They both did great! Connor was so excited to see his friends, he missed the last 2 weeks of Wacky Wednesday Summer School because of busting his chin open...so he was really happy to go back! Kate had a hard time when I handed her off to her teacher, but Ms. Kim is wonderful and Kate did really well to be such a little one! She even carried her own pink Scooby Doo lunch box like a big girl! (Of course, it was as big as she is and looks somewhat like a suitcase...but it made her feel big to carry hers like Bubba does.) The batteries in my camera died, so I will try to get a pic of them on Friday before school so everyone can see them with their bags and lunch boxes. Chad has meetings in Louisiana today and tomorrow, so say prayers that all will go well for him. I talked with him this afternoon, and so far so good! With both kiddos at school today I actually got some work done for Chad at the office, ran a couple of errands, and bought a few groceries, its been QUITE a while since I got everything on my "to do" list done for one day...and that I actually remembered the list at all!!!
Maybe I DO have a FEW brain cells left after 2 kids..LOL~Later, Kan

Happy Labor Day!!!

Hiddy! Its Labor Day...and I should be washing clothes...but I thought I would update our blog, especially since I was told this past week that there are actually people that READ it...haha! The past few days went something like this...the kids and I went to Paris on Friday afternoon (just for a few hours) to see Nana and Papa--Aunt Cin Cin made a pop in visit so we got to see her for a little bit which we were very glad about since we missed her Birthday/

Well wishes party today---then the kids and I met Chad at Lake Fork on Friday night to spend the weekend at the Lake. Chris and Monica and their gang met us on Saturday. The kids had a complete blast! Riding PaPa's gator, tubing, swimming and playing under the deck in the dirt were the favorites this trip. Since Connor's allergies are giving him fits he wasn't his usual rough and rowdy self but he still had a great time. I think his meds are kicking his tail a little. Kate and Cody decided to learn how to navigate steps and camper trailer doors this trip so they kept all of us hoppin' to keep up with them! Everyone had a great time and hated to part company--but now its back to the old grind, work, school...and LAUNDRY! Yucko! Oh, well, it just makes us look forward to the next time even more. Maybe this week we will know a little more about moving to Baton Rouge and we can start planning what we all want to do for the holidays! Sure would help to know if I am driving 1 1/2 hours or 7 hours to see everyone so we would know how many events we will be able to make...maybe soon we will know! Keep praying for us..we want to make the right decision and find the right house and place for the business! Better run for now before Chad catches me playing on the computer instead of getting all of our camping stuff put up! Til Next time...Kan
