Happy Holidays!

Visit with friends!

We enjoyed a visit with the Parks family this weekend. We met the twins for the first time! Jaxson loved holding both of them, until they cried :) Carter really enjoyed quality time with Madie and they had fun cheering on the Pistons at a game with Paul and Travis Friday night! They took megaphones and Travis said they screamed and danced through the whole game. Except for half time, when they got their books out and read. They are 2 peas in a pod!

Carter's Holiday Dance Recital

Check out Carter dancing with her Hip Hop class!

Jaxson gave Sissy flowers after the show. It was so sweet!

Toronto - Niagara Falls Vacation

We vacationed in Toronto and Niagara Falls, Canada. The weather was great, the sites were beautiful and we just enjoyed some quality family time together. We went to the top of CN Tower in Canada, walked on the glass floor, which was scary (at least for Mom)!! Carter and Travis drug me across, while my legs were physically refuses to let me walk on it :) Jaxson and Carter ran around the windy observation deck and loved it. We enjoyed Chinese food in Chinatown. Travis and I made time for a couple wine tastings. And we all enjoyed looking at the Falls! It was breathtaking...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!

Daddy Daughter Harvest Hoedown!

Carter and Daddy attended the Harvest Hoedown tonight. Carter was so excited and loving it in her new Cowgirl gear!!

Jaxson's field Trip to an apple orchard

Mommy helped chaperone Jaxson's field trip to Erwin Orchard. We all had a blast. When we got home, he helped me make apple crisp with our freshly picked apples. Yummy!!

Hip Hop

Carter is taking Hip Hop dance this year as well as taking Intermediate Tumbling/ Gymnastics. I know I am biased but she is doing very well in both. She has mastered high kicks, some groovy dance moves, one handed cartwheels, back walkovers, and is just having a lot of fun!

Carter's big bass

Carter caught this bass at our friend's pond. Her first cast out with her Barbie fishing pole and the bass was all over it :) We let him go so we can try and catch him again sometime.

Happy Birthday Jaxson!

Jaxson with his birthday treats at school and with his teacher, Mr. David. Happy 5th Birthday Jax!!

1st day of school

Jaxson started a private kindergarten program this year. He's our big boy! Because he is just turning 5 in September, we thought this was a better option than starting him in public school so young. He loves it so far!!

Carter is in 2nd grade. She has a couple of old friends in her class, but many new kids so she is excited to make new friends! We couldn't get the camera ready in the morning on the first day - dead batteries :). So we took a picture after she got home from school and was soaked after playing in the rain!
