First Day of School

This year Bennett is going to the same school as last year, four half days.Brayden is going to a different preschool two half days. Bennett is 4 years old and Brayden is 2 years old. Bristol is staying home with Mommy!Here are their 1st day of school pictures...can you figure out which one does good with pictures and which one does not?

 

Bristol and I enjoyed a special trip to Target alone while the boys were off to School.

Brayden had been talking about school for along time. He was excited to go. He changed his mind on the way to school and thought that staying home was a better idea. Once we got there he did okay though. He likes his new teacher and he really likes that his class has a hamster now.

 

Bennett was a little thrown off by going to a different room with a new teacher in it. I bribed him with getting to see his BFF Reese in class. He eventually got used to the idea and was okay once he saw Reese. After school Daddy asked Bennett if he had school the next day and he responded "no school. See Reese-eee here!" That was his longest sentence to date. So proud of him and how far he has come.

Kentucky State Fair 2013

Every year we take the journey to the Kentucky State Fair. Our cousins, Mackenzie and Lynnsey typically show goats at the fair. We had lots of fun this year. The kids and Brian ( who tends to get annoyed with all the people at the fair for a whole day) did really well this year.

We played games! Brayden and Mommy won the giant purple monkey on the water gun game. The bats were won on the throw a baseball and see how fast you pitch game. Some little stuffed animals won on a kiddie fishing game and some in a little basketball game.

She loves her Daddy.

Bristol enjoyed the fair food more than anyone I think! She loved the corn on the cob (just like her mommy).

Brayden and his TeeTee with corndogs.

Bristol just loves Mackenzie!

The kids loved seeing Mackenzie and Lynnsey again.

Bray enjoyed the goats.

 

Bennett...not so much!

Bennett has an extreme fear of cows at the fair.

Nothing a little iPad and cotton candy can't cure.

We sure turned a lot of heads pulling all the kids around in the train wagon.

Bristol 14 months

Its been way too long since I updated. Bristol is a wild woman. Se tries to keep up with her brothers and does a pretty good job at it!

She is a climber just like Bennett and Brayden. She makes is all the way to the top of our playground in the backyard and climbs the ladder on her own. She can climb on the couch and several other things.

She has been in 4 pageants. We have been having fun doing this. It gives me a chance to hang out with just her and my mom and sister as well. We are starting to learn the ropes.

 

 

I took her paci away about 5 days ago. It has been hard but not too bad. She has slept great and not missed a beat on that. The car rides are harder and it's harder to have to hear the whining during e day. But I know that it is best in the long run to get this over with the younger she is. It's sad for me to think the last thing making her a baby is now gone. She is such a big girl.

She is starting to talk more. She can say: mama, dada, braybray, stinky, cracker, dog, uh oh, thank you, and tries to mimics words often. She also shakes her head no.

She understands and can follow simple instructions way sooner than what the boys did.

She loves babies and baby dolls.

She still does good at church nursery and being dropped off, unlike Brayden at that age.

 

She always is standing in her high hair and hardly will sit now , ugh I forgot how early that started.

 

Se is starting to turn into a daddy's girl, boo :(

 

Look at how well she is holding that crayon!

 

She is so opinionated and knows just what she wants!
