JV Game

Part of Callie Grace's cheerleading camp included them cheering at halftime for the first JV game.  OH MY GOODNESS, it was HOT!  Caleb suggested us going home and leaving CG at the field. :)  The children did a great job.  Callie Grace definitely knows how to shake her booty!

Look at my baby's pink cheeks!

more pink cheeks - We left right after she cheered!

Many thanks to Mimi for coming to see Callie Grace cheer and bearing the heat with us!

Alleluia

We started Alleluia at our church last night.  We will meet each Wednesday through Thanksgiving (I believe).  Crystal and I are in charge of the little ones.  We had 12 children in our group last night.  Crystal did the lesson and it was wonderful.  The children were so good.  Crystal talked about Joseph and how God had given him the gift to interpret dreams.  She talked about how the governor wanted Joseph to interpret his dream about the skinny cows and the larger cows.  She had everyone say the word "governor".  A 6 year old little boy in our group said, "Nikki Haley is the governor".  We all laughed.  Pretty impressive from a 6 year old, I would say!!

My pictures aren't the greatest but I wanted to capture a few.  The children were lying down saying, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep" while one child was standing up showing their favorite thing to do (eat, sleep, run, skip).  It was like the children were interpreting that child's dream.  The children loved this activity!


CG's was running

Moira's was hopping

I'm not sure that Caleb got it - he just said "I choose Morna".


They had cow masks as well which went right along with the governor's dream!

Yummilicious Take II

Caleb has been talking about Yummilicious so much that Callie Grace started begging to get to go.   After dinner last night we went to get some yumminess again!  Caleb loves cake batter yogurt with strawberries and blueberries.  They were out of vanilla so I told CG that the New York Cheesecake was vanilla.  I need to enjoy this while I can because she is going to be reading soon!  She chose sprinkles as her topping which made Caleb want sprinkles as well.  Caleb ate his yogurt up but CG was not a fan.  She said that it was the sprinkles that she didn't like!  What a picky eater.

Weekend in Review

We enjoyed a great taco dinner (for the adults) and pizza (for the children) dinner at my brother's house on Friday night.  It was a belated birthday party for my sister and a good-bye summer, hello school party as well.  Everyone had a lot of fun!!
All the cousins minus Andrew

Here's the little Andrew cutie now with his mimi (my sister)

On Saturday morning, Caleb and I went to celebrate Brock turning 4 at Monkey Joe's.  Tiffany had a family party on Saturday evening but she wanted Brock to have a little play time as well.  Caleb and Brock had a ball together.


Riding the bus together


Fun times at Yummilicious (this was Caleb's first visit)

Caleb wanted the picture to be of his yogurt only but I managed to get him in the picture almost all the way! :)

We had a nice weekend.  Yesterday was Rally Sunday at church so we stayed for a cookout of hamburgers, hot dogs and homemade ice cream.  It was so good.
