Labor Day Weekend Trip to the Safari!

We have had the opportunity to see several of the Safari animals in the last year and half. Mr. King, one of our principals, family runs the safari so the animals show up at a lot of school events. However, we had not taken Addie to the safari. If you have not been you should go! The last time I went it was winter and it was so much better this time. Well and now that I have a child to enjoy it! This picture is of Addie throwing bread into the monkeys!











She loved feeding the goats. They were a little aggressive so we found that it was best to feed them through the fence instead of being in there with them.
















This is Jeremy and Addie looking at something while I drove us through. We did let Addie out of her seat for the drive-thru.

















Okay so normally blogger auto flips pictures but not this one. This was the baby monkey Chloe we have met her many times but this is the first time she ever jumped on us. She made many jumps onto me and Addie. I couldn't figure out who to protect Addie the monkey or myself!

Labor Day Weekend!

We made a quick trip to Mansfield on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend for the Henson girl family reunion. I believe we are all in this picture except for Jeremy and the Newman family and Uncle Kenneth who had just left.
We had a shrimp boil by Uncle Davo and it was yummy!








This is Addie with Annabelle! Jordan and Susan's baby! Addie was completely in love with her. She loves all babies and wanted to keep her.

Just a few fun shots!

Everyone in this picture is making a silly face! Addie, Daddy and Bella playing in the yard!











Addie playing Tea Party at her table. She is putting something in her mouth here granola bar or fish or something!










Addie playing outside making a camel face!

Our First Day to Mrs. Lora's House!

This year Addie is going to Mrs. Lora's in-home daycare/preschool. Jeremy and I had to start school on August 12th so on August 10th and 11th, Addie went for a half day to prepare her for the routine and for getting up in the mornings while Jeremy and I worked in our rooms.

These pictures are of her wearing her backpack. The mini Elmo backpack was the last one that Target had and she loves it! Addie of course cries for a few minutes at drop off but is quickly adjusting and has usually stopped crying before I leave!

Baby Kate Shower- August 1st

Addie and I hosted Tracie and baby Kate's NWA shower with friends and coworkers on August 1st with some help from our friend Lisa! We can't wait to see you Baby Kate only 8 more weeks!

Summer Update!!

First of all apologies to all three of you who actually read this blog! It has been summer and I have not been very diligent in posting! We started off the summer with a bang! Jeremy had inservice and I had began working seeing kids privately! I have been very busy with that more busy than I wanted to be! But summer is over and we made a little extra cash for vacation and such!

We traveled to Florida for our summer vacation and had a blast! We took 1500 pictures so we will not be posting those! But maybe a few here and there.

This week we started back to school! Addie is going to a new in home daycare preschool setup with 8 other children between 17 months and 3 years. She is one of the younger ones! It was a hard week last week but she is doing well or so they claim. Mrs. Lora seems really great and has a curriculum for the children to follow. I am super excited to watch Addie learn and grow this year! We will keep you posted with updates!

First Baseball Game

Last Friday night, we traveled to Springdale for the the Naturals vs.Travelers game! We had not been to a game but had a great time. Jamie and Matt were suppose to go but had a change of plans so they passed their tickets to us! Thanks guys!

If you haven't been you need to go! It has beautiful facilities! T-shirts, cotton candy, beer, food anything else you need at a game! It was Strike's birthday! So they had a lot of kid friendly things like the petting zoo was there! We sat with Alix (who also works with Jamie) and all of their work friends who had all bought tickets together! They were super nice and accepting of us and Miss Addie.

She made friends with all of the people around us and was able to run around a little bit. The stadium is very child friendly and has a playground in the outfield, a grassy area to sit in the outfield, and an outdoor restaurant setup with picnic tables.
