Emma went POTTY!!

Yesterday, Miss Emma Kate & I went to the store to pick out a potty chair. Of course she wanted the one that has a crown lid and plays music after you pee in it. ;) Then this morning, she pee peed in it for the first time!! HOORAY!! Let's hope she keeps up the good work!

BALLOON FESTIVAL!!!

This weekend we went to the Plano Balloon Festival, Ben & Emma have been SO excited about this! We had such a blast! We had GREAT seats, the weather was so nice and the company was even better! Emma's favorite balloons were the Energizer Bunny and the Panda, Ben's Favorites were the Pirate and the Tree. Mommy's Favorite was the big 'ol Cow, I had never seen a balloon that big before. What a Great time we had!!

Playing Dress Up

Miss Emma Kate wanted to play dress up this morning while Ben was at school, and she was just too cute not to snap a few shots...

Now mommy just needs to figure out which one she's going to wear for Halloween...

More T-Ball!!

Here's some pics of Ben's T-Ball game last night, they did such a great job yet again!!

The Aquarium

Today we went to the aquarium with our Moms Club friends. We practically had the place to ourselves, what fun! We got to see all of the animals up close! Emma's favorite parts were the Sharks and the River Otters. Ben's favorites were the Tamarins, Sharks and the Jaguar. The kids were SO cute especially when they were looking at the River Otters. What a fun time!!

Fun on the Farm!

We went to visit MiMi, Lou Lou & Papa today in Lucas. What fun we had seeing their horses and running around their yard!! Thanks PaPa for taking Ben on a tractor ride as soon as you got home, he loved it!!!

Ben's 1st T-BALL Game

Last night was Ben's first T-ball game!! I went into it without very big expectations, boy was I wrong. They were all really good!! Ben played his little heart out. I couldn't believe how good he did hitting the ball and fielding!! After he fielded the first ball from the pitching rubber, he did a little victory dance (uh oh, we may get penalties later in his sporting career ;) ).
Thanks to Mr.Ed for teaching him"baseball ready", he kept repeating it during the game ;) All in all, the whole team did great!!

Ben's 1st day of PRESCHOOL

My little boy is growing up, today was Ben's first day of preschool. He was SUPER excited!! Here he is getting ready to leave the house:
When we dropped him off, he was fine, I was SOO proud of what a big boy he was!! When we came back to pick him up, he couldn't wait to tell me about his day. He loved playing and getting to read and going to the inside playground. He also really liked spanish. He asked me if he got to go back tomorrow, I'm SO happy he loves school!!

Is this Right, what are Your Thoughts??

After seeing this on a couple of Friends' Blogs, I had to try it out to see if what I thought was what the computer thingy would say...
Well Guess what?!? It didn't match what I thought AT ALL ~at least not for Ben, he's always looked SO much like his Daddy!!

Emma's I do agree with, I've seen pics of me as a kid and we do look a lot alike! ;)

Birthday PARTY!!

Tonight we celebrated my birthday with ALL of the Fam (well most of it anyway). Chris grilled awesome hamburgers & hot dogs and we had tons of yummy sides ~ especially my Fav Ole Dip!!

My Awesome friend Narci took me out to lunch to celebrate my Birthday and then She took me to Sam Moon (it was my very first time ~ I know, BIG Shocker ;) )...What a blast we had!!!
