Random Fall Fun!

As I am trying to organize the very UN-organized pictures I have taken over the past few months, I found a few that were "random" pictures that I just like to call Fall Fun!


New School Shenanigans:
Benny's running towards me while waiting on J to get out of school.

Jonathan and Gage on Green Shirt Day.

J and Me eating lunch at his school!

Ben loves to play in the car while waiting on J at school.

Be is an official HEBISD volunteer! And he is pretty serious about it.  

Generations Day! Ben and I got to have lunch with J!

Just general randomness:

Sweet Brothers!

Jonathan pretending to have a Book Fair in his room. Please excuse the messy room.

Throwing leaves with friends.

Bad to the Bone.



Splashy!
 
A Fall Shower!


The boys made "soup" in the bird bath. Jonathan said, "Everyone in the whole world is welcome to come eat our soup. And maybe no one will be hungry any more."

Dirty!
The Fam!
Jonathan joined the children's choir and had many singing engagements over the Fall.
Muffin's with Mom at Ben's school.
Fire Station Open House!

One of my favorites from the a recent trip to the Zoo.





 


I got an new APP on my phone that I liked playing with:




We celebrated 8 years!!! Yay!

Welcome to Texas Colleen

My youngest cousin Colleen decided to come to TCU, located here in Fort Worth! She has lived up in Princeton, NJ most of her life, so it is so cool to have her down here with us! The boys and I came up to the TCU campus to walk and around when she first moved here. They loved being on the campus and look forward to more visits. She has been super busy this first semester with school and her sorority and is loving living in Texas! WELCOME COLLEEN!!!


Colleen and Kathy under the welcome Freshman banner!

The boys loved the water fountain.

Ben and Colleen.

The boys playing outside Colleen's dorm.

We couldn't go in just yet, she got the keys the next day, but we enjoyed sitting outside her new dorm.

On another visit we got to come see inside Colleen's dorm room. The boys LOVED it!

Ben found her roommates cowboy hat! :)

They both had to try it on! They think College life is pretty fun!

A visit at Daddy's work

The Friday before Jonathan started school, we went up to see Michael at his work! The boys love seeing daddy at work and talk about it all the time! We got to take a tour and have lunch at the new park across the street from his building. The new park is really cool, it has been built over the freeway.

In Daddy's office, looking at his maps that he makes.

In the map room. Michael is explaining how they file the maps.

Looking out the window.


Window washer! So crazy for the kids to see!

Looking out the window on a different side of the building. That is the new Perot Museum above Jonathan's head.

On another side of the building, looking down at the new Clyde Warren Park. You can see the Food Trucks. We went down there and ate and played.

We are now on the top floor of Michael's building in the cafeteria.

You can see the Reunion Tower behind Benny.

Now we are eating in the park! It was lots of fun!

My yummy lunch! Steak and Mushroom Quesadilla!

Michael's building.

Playing at the park!

Ben's First Day of the Two's Class

I know, I am sorry, I am WAY, WAY behind on posting. Life has gotten so busy since Kindergarten started. I thought I would have more time to blog, craft, paint...CLEAN, turns out I have less somehow. I am still figuring it out. But I wanted to start where I left off, and try to catch up!

Ben started at the Pre-School Two's Class back in September! It's the same 2 day a week class that Jonathan took. It was very nostalgic for me to go back there with Ben. He LOVES school and I love it for him! I am good friends with both of his teachers, so I am very comfortable with having him there. He is such a social kid, he loves all of his friends, class mates, but especially his teachers! Ben is off the charts smart, in this bias mommy's opinion, so school is perfect for his little mind to keep growing!


My little ham!


This is him every day, he just takes off, no looking back! I am totally fine with, the alternative is not fun. And to the right is one of his teachers, Ms. Jill.

Showing me his locker!

Playing with his friends and one of his teachers, Ms. Lindsay.
