Another Year Older...

 
Well, according to the calendar, I am another year older... how did that sneak up on me so fast?!?  We had a "routine" day of playing, cooking, cleaning, school, etc. -- a fun day to spend with my sweet hubby and kiddos.  And dinner at BJ's, with a yummy pizzookie dessert!


 And, let's face it, getting older isn't so bad with these little ones at my side!  They keep me feeling young, and I am one blessed momma!

More Soccer


 Luke is having a blast playing fall soccer with new friends in Salado.  They are a pretty good little team!  Although at this age they do not technically keep score, we have won all of our games so far!
Go Mean Green!

 "Which way are we going, Green???"  Coach Robert (Daddy) always asks!
 Go Luke!!  Score!


 YAY!!!!  Great Goal!!!
 Look at that running lean!
 What the other 2 brothers tend to do at the games -- wrestle!

 Ammaw and Poppa came to visit and got to see 1 of the games.
 Daniel and Seth were checking out a little dead snake -- ewwww!  At least it was dead!
 Go Luke!!!  We are so proud of you!!!

Daniel's 4th Birthday Fun


 Our sweet 2nd born son is 4!!!!  Happy 4th birthday, Daniel Man!!!!  You are growing and getting to be such a big boy now!!  You have such a kind heart, and a uniquely "you" personality.  You give 110% of yourself to anything that you want to be doing.  You love to play outside, get dirty, explore nature and bugs, run and climb, etc.  You love your family -- your brothers are your very best friends, and you adore your baby sister!  You make us laugh with your silly antics, and you have a beautiful smile!  You will eat just about anything, but your favorite things are any kind of meat -- sausage, ham, chicken, turkey, beef, dove, fish -- pancakes, fruit -- apples, grapes, oranges, strawberries, etc -- and, of course, cupcakes!!  You have a heart of gold, and I can't wait to see all that God has in store for your life!  You are a blessing to our family and we love you very much!!!

 Daniel has been practicing writing his name -- this is a HUGE step forward for him.  He learned his ABCs before he even turned 2, but has never really had an interest in writing.... until recently.  He wants to sit and do his "school work" now, and part of that is practicing writing!
 
 
 Happy Birthday to Daniel~
Yummy cupcakes!  (He chose a Funfetti cake with blue icing and sprinkles!)
 Making a wish!

Happy Abby!


 Our little Abby girl is one happy baby!  She is smiling alot more now and loves to try to "talk" to us!  She loves her big brothers and will light up when she sees them and they talk to her.  I just love that she is so happy and such a sweet little girl!



 Playing with her little activity mat (I think we were doing school with the big boys at the time.)


 Really trying to talk!
 L-O-V-E Her!!!!!
