Kindergarten Field Trip to INK!!

Today was the first field trip of the school year and I able to be one of the chaperons. We went to the children's museum in Gainesville, INK. What a fun place! Carley had been there before when she was younger with her meme, but I was told they had made some upgrades since then. The children were able to go from center to center and play with everything. They had everything from a library, a stage for dress-up, a dentist office, vets office, hair salon, grocery store ( by far the kids favorite), post office and so much more. Here are a few pictures from the day. We can't wait to take Collin back!

Siver City Comet Award Winner...

Carley Rae was awarded the Siver Comet Award in the month of October for Patience! When we recieved the letter last week I actually did a happy dance in the driveway I was so excited for her. She didn't know how to react to my excitement and screamed..."I'm the CHAMPION!!" It was hysterical! This morning there was a Awards breakfast to recognize the children from each class and each grade. We are so proud of Carley and how well she is doing in kindergarten. She continues to amaze us with her willingness to learn and grow more in her education.

Mickey and Minnie Pumpkins!!

Carley stayed home from school today because yesterday she threw up at school. It was totally random and out of the blue, but just to make sure she was feeling okay today she stayed home with me. We went to Publix to get some groceries and came home with 2 pumpkins!! A few weeks ago Eric's mom gave Carley and Collin Mickey and Minnie pumpin kits. They are fabulous!!! There is no pumpkin carving mess and so cute!! We are still going to make our traditional trip to Burts Pumpkin Farm but we went ahead and put together our Mickey and Minnie Pumpkins!!

Mommy and Daddy Vacation

Eric and I are very blessed to have amazing parents to watch Carley and Collin while we take a little time for ourselves. Recently, Eric and I went to Miami for a fews days and then down to Key West for a few days. It was a great opprotunity to recharge, reconnect and relax!! Here are a few pictures from our great trip!

Here is a video of Collin walking, sissy helping and Collin stopping for a quick dance!!

Fast fordwarding a few months...

Carley's first day of school!

I am going to fast forward a few months to get all up to date. On August 10th Carley Rae started KINDERGARTEN!!!! She was so excited about going to the "big girl school" and in the past 2 months has done so awesome! She has already learned so much and is making great friends.

Collin is now 16 months!! Goodness where has the time gone!!! He is walking in full force now and is doing GREAT!!!

Again...catching up and recommitting..

Like I said before I have not done so well with keeping up with our blog and I am so disappointed in myself! I really want to journal what is going on in our crazy busy lives so I am jumping back on the blogging wagon and catching up!

This video is from when Carley got her ears pierced. She was so incredibly brave and it was totally her idea.
