Reese Turns 3

Reese turned three this past Thursday. For her birthday she wanted a Little Mermaid party. So we invited the family over for a sweet girly party. It is nice to be back in Georgia and spend these special occasions with our family.

Ballet

Reese has started her ballet class and loves it. She has had only one class and keeps asking "can we go back!" I was scared she was going to be real shy and not do much but she wen straight in and did everything the teacher asked. I am so proud of her!!

Summer by the Pool

This summer has came and is going so fast. In the blink of an eye in the first days of summer, our life had changed. Moving back home was defiantly not on my list of Things to Do! We had many people tell us to just enjoy this time as a family so that is what we have done. Most days we have been out by the pool. The kids enjoy swimming. Walker has turned into a fish and Reese can stay under water for 6 seconds (we have to count). Ivy enjoys jumping into the water and then she kicks kicks kicks. We have loved watching them swim and are so proud of them!

Ivy....our Handful!!

Reese loves to wear her glasses!

1st day of 1st Grade

Walker started his first day of First Grade last Monday. He is attending Varner Elementary School and has Mrs. Coleman for his teacher. He was very excited to get started and has done very well in class. Two days this week he has brought home rocks off the playground in his pocket. Wayne's mom says he use to do the same thing. I guess they are more alike than we know!

Walker picked out his lunch box, it was the biggest the store had so it was what he wanted (the bigger, the more food)!!

Six Flags

This past Tuesday we got to go to Six Flags with the kids. This was their first time and really enjoyed it. Reese wasn't afraid of anything. She wanted to ride it all. Walker on the other hand did not want to go into the Monster Plantation...he gets scared easily so we didn't do it but he did ride everything else. It was a great trip(even if it was 105 degrees!)

Walker and Reese in the old time cars!

I think Nate had one to many roller coasters!

Skull Island is new at Six Flags, it is a mini water park that the kids loved. Reese went down this one slide at least 30 times!

Walker wanted to ride splash water falls so bad, so him Reese and Wayne did it! They loved it!

Braves Game

This past week we were able to go to the Atlanta Braves Game. We took Walker and Reese and went with our Sister-in-law Katie and nephew Nate. We were not sure how Reese would do but she did great. It was her first baseball game and we think she enjoyed it! She was so fun to watch doing the tomahawk chop, as the night got later and later her chop got smaller and smaller. Walker loved it all of course, he is getting into the game now and one day will be our super star shortstop!!

Katie got the privilege to hold Reese and help her with her M&M's!! It was to hot for them not to melt!!
