Apple Picking!

We are all off this week for Fall Break. We decided to head up to the North Georgia Mountains to go apple picking with our friends. There ended up being over 35 kids, 12 cars, going up!
These are the kindergarten girls from the neighborhood that rode in my car up to the orchards. All I can say is they can get very loud!!

This is Braden with his best buddy Spencer and Spencer's little brother Collin. When they are together it is trouble!!!

While we are at the orchard there was a small brush fire, it was controlled by the workers but the fire department did come. All the kids were so excited to see the men come and use their hoses to wet everything down.

The Firemen gave all the kids hats and stickers. What a great treat for them all!

The wonderful thing about going up to the orchards is that we are on the mountains, and it is a beautiful site.

Braden was so determined to get his own apples. He would not let me pick any and put them in his bag!

He would dig into a tree to pick the perfect apple!

Caitlin with her good friend Ellie. They were in PreK together and now they are in dance together.

B testing out an apple!!

I tried to get the 2 together a few times for pictures.

My sweet boy! He is such trouble!!

This is just a small portion of the kids that went with us.

Summer Times

We spent yesterday at the Rego's house for Isabella's fourth birthday. Braden had fun playing in the fort that Uncle Jim made for the kids.
The birthday party was at the dance studio that the girls take class at. The girls dressed up and Braden insisted to dress up too, thank goodness Sam had a costume for him!

Caitlin and Emily love playing together! Emily was so good and took care of all the little kids.

Braden said that his costume needed a sword. We had to take it away at one point when all the princesses got here.

Princess Bella! Happy Birthday!

Caitlin loved dressing up and dancing.

Both kids has so much fun in Columbus, they love playing with their cousins.

Braden and I are at the same school this year, Transfiguration. He loves going, a complete change from years past. He actually asks to go and does not cry!! And he is learning so much, it amazes me!

We had the fire department come and talk to our classes. The good thing is that all the three year old classes go together so B and I get to see each other!

There is a new skating rink in Cumming. They had a grand opening day and we took the kids skating. Caitlin is just amazing, she can do it with out help from James.

Braden wants to wear all his hockey gear when he skates, such a difference from his sister!

Both kids love skating and keep asking to go back!

This is my pretty princess!!
