student star

Addison was the Student Star yesterday!

She was more than excited.  She loved having the chance to tell all her friends about her favorite things.   

First up was an interview by her teacher.  Next up her friends got a chance to ask her their own questions.

After the interview the students then wrote Addison's name (she chose to have them write Addison instead of Addy) and drew a picture of her. 

And then she gets to keep them in a book.  Look at that cute picture her friend Max drew of her.  Yellow shirt, black and white striped skirt, blue eyes, brown hair and even got her glasses!  Too cute!

grandparents day

Friday we celebrated Grandparent's/VIP Day at school.  It was nice that even Mr. B had his grandma there.

 Great Grandma J. came to see her great grand-daughters and her grandson.

 And Mawmaw and Pawpaw took the afternoon off to come visit as well.

 Nana and Papa left at 8 in the morning to drive down and visit also. 

My girls are so lucky to be so loved.  Thanks everyone for making today special for my girls.  It means a lot to them (and us).  We love you!

Labor Day

One last trip to our favorite camp ground for this year.

Presley surprised us by going down the straight down body slide.  She liked it, but only enough to go down twice. 

We got both girls all day slide passes this time.  It was a hot one...close to 90 degrees.  Reese spent most of the day in the pool and at the splash pad while the girls went up and down the slides.

Addy enjoyed the tube slide.

Sunday morning we went to picture time with the Bears.

We were able to catch the Boo Boo Express after pictures.

Later that afternoon we went on a wagon ride.

Boo Boo tried to sneak off on someone's bike.

We took the girls fishing.

They were all able to catch a fish with help.

Gabi was nice enough to let Reese reel her catch in.

There was a lot of bike riding.

And leftover 4th of July sparklers.

The weather had cooled off quite a bit by the time we were ready to leave.  Almost a 40 degree difference!

Instead of our normal routine of getting ice cream before leaving the park, we opted for a hot chocolate instead.

We had another great weekend, with a few scary surprises that turned out ok.  Until next year...
