This and that

Kennedy and Kaitlyn are loving volleyball! They are doing great, but it sure does keep us busy! They have practice daily, games twice and week and this weekend they have a volleyball tournament.

They dressed up little sister! Too cute!

Scooter loves those bananas....she watched Josie's every bite. :)

Trixie is doing great! She is able to not have any accidents in the house while we are at school each day (a small miracle considering she is a puppy and we are gone 10+ hours!)
She is healthy and happy! She isn't much of a snuggle dog, but she is getting there. This past week for the first time, she jumped in my lap and snuggled while I watched TV. Sweet girl.

She sure is cute! :)

Jr. Cheer night

Last Friday was the Eagle Extravaganza and Jr. Cheer. We arrived after school ready for the fun.

Love this pic of our family!

Josie loves the Eagle!!

She sat on him this time! (But didn't look at the camera...oh well!)

Josie tried the bounce house, but it only lasted about 5 seconds. She didn't like that she didn't have socks on.

Popsicles make it better!

Jillian won the hula hoop contest!

The weather was very dreary and it rained off and on, but finally it was time for the game.

Watching the game

At halftime, it was time for Jr. Cheer. Jillian had fun doing the cheer and dance.

Her little group for Jr. Cheer

It was a wet, late night, but the kids had fun! (Parents were tired!)

Dentist and Doctors

Josie had her first dental check up a few weeks ago! As you can see in the picture, she wasn't super excited about it. Her reaction is much more like the twins at this age. I was remembering when Jillian had her first dental check up.....she ran to the chair, put on the sun glasses and LOVED every minute of it! Ha! Not the case here.

They let me hold her which helped a lot!

Healthy teeth!

Josie has been having an awesome time at school, but on Tuesdays and Thursday, she doesn't get a nap. This is what usually happens on the way home.

So tired.

Poor Josie....with the start of pre-school, comes lots of sickness.

She had a cold that she just couldn't kick. After 2 dr visits and some medicine, she finally got well. (Minus the reaction to the antiobiotics!)

My sick little girl.

She is on the mend now and is having a blast at school! I love to see all her little art projects that she does!

Josie's first day of preschool

Our little Josie started preschool at Sugar Creek this past week! She was soooo excited (and a bit nervous). On Tuesday, she had meet the teacher day. Grandma and Pa took her to meet Mrs. Judy and Mrs. Sarah. I got a quick picture in the morning before work. (She just wanted her backpack in the picture)

Here's her basket!

Her teachers!

The next day was her very first day. I took off that morning from work so I could take her myself. It was so nice to be able to get her ready and see her first day.

Adorable!

New shoes! New backpack!

Big smiles!

At Sugar Creek

She found a toy to play with while we were waiting to go into her class.

Her class!

She was sooo excited about all the tents! She was so happy to be there that she gave me a quick hug bye and went back to playing. She will be going 3 days a week and I think she will love every minute of it!

First day of school 2018-2019

The first day of school has come and gone! Kennedy and Kaitlyn are in 6th grade this year!!!

Jillian is in 3rd grade! They were all excited about starting and so far the year has gone very smoothly. So glad our girls love their friends and our school.

Group photo!

The twins tried out for volleyball this year and made the team!!! They have practice every day and games at least twice a week! Our life has become super busy, but they are loving it and the games are fun to watch! :)
