A morning with Austin

Lowe's Build & Grow Fire Truck

The kids have really loved going to the Lowe's Build & Grow workshops.  This Saturday we made a fire truck.  Austin loves fire trucks and was super excited about this project!

Lowe's even had a fire truck come by so the kids could check it out!

The firefighters were so nice and explained all about the truck.  Austin and Kelly loved it!

The kids have talked about this workshop all weekend.  I say it was the best one to date!  

I highly recommend doing this with your little ones!

Labor Day weekend Wild Animal Safari

We wanted to do something different with the kids, so we set off for Pine Mountain and took them on a wild animal safari. http://www.animalsafari.com/Georgia/ 

We drove our own car through the park (twice) and got to 

see and feed all kinds of animals.  The kids loved it.

Some of the animals came right up to the car...

And some came in the car!

This is a Zedonk- half zebra, half donkey

This guy did not want to move, and didn't let us by for a few minutes!

When we got through going around the park the second time we found out that there was a part for you to walk around that was more like a zoo.

This baby giraffe was so cute, she was only a few days old!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

This past weekend we celebrated Grandpa's birthday.  We made him German Chocolate cupcakes 

 

 and decorated with streamers because it's not a party without cake and decorations!  

Grandpa loves to cook so the kids made him special oven mitts.

Grandpa's Helping Hands

I think he really loved them!

Happy Birthday Grandpa! You're the best!

We love you!!!

Kelly's first day of kindergarten

I can't believe the day has come and our little princess is in Kindergarten!  She was so excited she got up and was ready to go before Daddy even went to wake her up!

All ready to go with new outfit, shoes and her Lalaloopsy 

lunch box!

What a difference a year makes

She had to have her picture taken with all of us :)

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the book bag!

Our little Diva!

Kelly's new room is actually her old Pre-K room.  Her new teacher is Mrs. Parmer.

She was so excited to find out that her best friend from last year, Ramsey, is in her class!

She had a great first day and can't wait to go back tomorrow!
