Little of This and a Little of That


Nolan had his very first eye exam so he could start school.
He did good!


One of our frequent places we stop, Chik-fil-a, had a dress like a cow day and get free food. 
So we did just that. Brittany came up with this quick idea and we enjoyed some chicken with good friends. 


These beautiful girlies all wearing Matilda Jane pretties. Ella wishes she could see her second cousins more often. 


She did it! Potty training 101 was a success! She rocked it out for just turning 2 1/2.
So proud of you Miss Ella!


We had fun at VBS! Ella's first! 


Kara talked me into training for our first Half Marathon. We had just finished our very first 9 miler!
The rain made it an adventurous run. 


Nana and Ella at Mello Mushroom.


I am telling you.... these kiddos love their daddy! I don't blame them because I love him too!
Nat, you are an awesome husband and dad!


We had some fun times at Southland pool this summer. These two really enjoyed being around each other. They both swim like fish at four years old. 


I had to sit in the very back of the van so we had room for Aunt Helen to go to dinner with us. 
Ella was not so sure about me sitting back there but holding my finger made her feel better. So sweet!


This is a rare moment these days for Nathaniel. He is almost 9 years old and hardly ever takes a nap but the lake wiped him out that day.

Kids Triathlon



Nathaniel heard about the kids triathlon and he was ready to sign up.

I wasn't sure if he would follow through because I could not get him to practice. 
He either wakes up on or off and thankfully he woke up on the day of the race. 


The race included swimming 100 meters, biking 2 miles, and running 1 mile. 


This mama couldn't have been more proud to cheer him across the finish line. 

Nathaniel you did great!
