Fall - baseball, dance, and soccer!

The kids all enjoyed their extracurricular activities this fall!  

Rhett is quite the little soccer player.  We loved watching him run up and down the field!  

It was fun for him to get to play with one of his preschool buddies, Callan!  

Reid played his first season with his new baseball team, the Texas Dawgs!  We love watching him do what he loves.  It was fun for him to get to play with his school friend, Mitchell!  Their amazing teacher, Mrs. Saenz, came out to watch a game.  

Georgia Kate decided she wanted to go back to dance this year!  She is taking ballet and jazz classes and is really enjoying it again!  The girls did such a great job at the Christmas recital.  Her class did a toy solider dance!

Happy 6th Birthday, Rhett!

Our baby is SIX!  It's hard to believe that our family's baby is so grown. 

6 things about Rhett at 6...

*Rhett is a "gentle giant" with his friends and a rough and tough little brother at home.  

*He is sensitive, affectionate, and loves his snuggles.  He wants one of us to fall asleep with him every night and because he's the baby, he gets that. :) 

*He is extremely athletic and strong.

*He loves dinosaurs, dragons, cars, fishing, horses, and anything that is a "battle".  

*He is a candy monster!

*He LOVES school and his friends, which makes me so happy!  I love having a front row seat to his kindergarten year.  

We celebrated Rhett's birthday with donuts and presents before school and dinner at Alicia's that evening.  Chris also got to be the kindergarten guest reader that day, which made Rhett's birthday extra special!  

Rhett was excited to have his party at his favorite place - ninja!  

 Happy birthday, Rhett Michael!  We adore you!! 

Pumpkins and Trick-or-Treating!

Rhett lost his first tooth!

Our baby lost his first tooth this afternoon!  Rhett has such a great smile and I'm a little sad that it's starting to change!  He sure was excited though! :)

He's growing up too quickly!

Back to School at BCA!

We are now a month into our new school year at our new school!  4th grade for Reid, 3rd grade for Georgia Kate, kindergarten for Rhett, and 1st grade for ME!  It's been a great start for all of us, despite a few bumps in the road.  

Meet the Teacher x4!

Rhett and Mrs. Black

I'm pretty sure Rhett might be the first kindergartener to pass up his teacher in height by the end of the year. ;) Sweet Mrs. Black got Covid a couple of days into school, so she was out for two weeks after that.  We were all happy when she came back!  

Georgia Kate and Mrs. Peeples

GK has known her teacher for a few years!  Mrs. Peeples' daughter and Georgia Kate were in the same kindergarten class, along with a few other of her 3rd grade classmates! 

Reid and Mrs. Saenz 

We are SO excited that Mrs. Saenz is one of Reid's teachers!

I'm sad that I didn't take any before pictures, but here is my home away from home!  Well, it was my home away from home until the AC broke in our area and I had to move out 2 weeks into school. ;) The AC has been a complicated situation, but I hope to be able to move back into this space soon!  

The Night Before Kindergarten

Well, in true Rhett fashion, he woke up with a fever on the first day of kindergarten. :( He has a history of getting sick the first week of school. It threw us for a little bit of a loop, but thankfully Chris was able to work from home and Reid, GK, and I managed to get to school on time for our first day.  

First day of 3rd and 4th grades!

After a year of homeschooling, we had two very excited kids!  

At last... our baby's first day of KINDERGARTEN!  

As we move into this next chapter of all of our children being in school, I'm so thankful that I get to be there with them and be a part of their days!  

We are looking forward to a wonderful year together!
