Kaitlyn's 6th Birthday Party

I can't believe my little girl is turning 6! Time goes by way too fast! She wanted a Little Pet Shop party for her birthday this year. The kids all had alot of fun playing, doing crafts, & eating cake! Kaitlyn asked me every five minutes "Is it time to open presents yet?!?" She has been so excited about her birthday party! And it was our first big party at our new house, so she was proud to show her room to her friends! Right after her party was over she told me next year she wanted to invite boys from her class to her birthday - uh oh! I am not ready for that yet!!!

We went to ride the train and play at the park with some friends from church! Noah was so excited, he loves having things to look forward to for himself, since Kaitlyn is in school. The weather was perfect, and the kids all had a blast!

Run for the Rings

Who is the fastest kindergarten girl at school? Kaitlyn is! Can you tell I am a little proud?!? Kaitlyn had a run at her school. She woke up that morning and told me she was going to win, and I told her she just needs to do her best and have fun. She took off a little behind the other girls, but when they rounded the corner we saw her in the lead! She won a medal, and they had a really neat ceremony to announce the winners. Future track star maybe?!? It was a great day. It was alot of fun to see her playing with all her new friends! She has some of the sweetest kids in her class!

Homecoming

We had a great time at the Homecoming Game this year! Burleson was playing Mansfield, which is where my sister and her family lived. It was funny! We all wore shirts to show our school spirit :) Kaitlyn was a little confused! She told me she was going to cheer for Mansfield since Emma goes to school there, isn't that sweet? I quickly helped her changed her mind but she just loves her cousin! We met alot of our friends there. By the end of the evening the kids were totally sugared up (we brought candy from the parade) and exhaused but we had such a fun night!

Rivals!

Homecoming Parade

We took the kids to the Homecoming Parade downtown. It was alot of fun, definately a new tradition! Noah loved the football players! He's decided he wants to play next year! Kaitlyn loved the Homecoming Princesses. They waved as everything passed by. Alot of the people in the parade threw candy to the kids, so I told Noah to yell Hello so they would see him and Kaitlyn. He was hilarious! He was so excited he stood up the whole time, waving really fast and yelling Hello at the top of his lungs! Kaitlyn looked a little embarrassed at first, but she loved the candy being thrown to them so she didn't complain! They each left with their own bag FULL of candy! It was a really fun night!

a stranger to take our picture, at least one of us gets cut in half!)

Kaitlyn - I LOVE this picture!!! Beautiful!

Rare moments :)

In the meantime, while we waited for
the parade they found a tree!

These two little monkeys had a blast climbing...

and hanging!

The Parade Begins!
(Aren't they soooo cute sitting there waving?!?)

And they're off! Yes, I realize they are barefoot -
its kind of gross but we are from a small town!

They got every last piece thrown!

Noah - so proud of all his hard work!
