Back to School and Other Stuff

We haven’t been up to much lately.  But thought I would update everyone on us.  Of course I have lots of pictures!

Royal and Amanda celebrated their birthdays.  We had a combined party for them.  Royal turned 23 and Amanda is 26!  Gosh I feel old.IMG_8483 We had a second party for Jayden on her Birthday with just the family…IMG_8649 This cracked me up…she LOVED LOVED LOVED all her Pretty Pony stuff she just piled them on her lap and sat there and held them…TOO CUTE!IMG_8656

I think it’s so cute how Payten looks through her coloring book…she props that little leg out there to hold up her book.IMG_8670

School Started and we are already back to the busy life that High School can bring.  RaLee is very busy with a heavy class load this year and Cheer.  Some of her classes include, Physics, Ag Science, Geometry, Spanish and English.  She has her work cut out for her this year!  Oh and we were so proud of her when she was named Cheer Captain Last Saturday!  WAY TO GO RaLEE!

She finally decided on a purple back pack this year…trust me this is a HUGE decision!  At one point I was considering adopting her out to a poor unsuspecting family because REALLY does there have to be that much thought behind what back pack we have?  Apparently it has to be plain with no designs so she can write and doodle upon it over the course of the year.

Second Day of SchoolIMG_8641 

Have you ever seen more beautiful blue eyes than these?  Payten is grandma’s little dolly!  I do love this little girl so much!  After going to Jayden’s birthday party Payten is now anxiously awaiting her second birthday.IMG_8687 Then Wayne decided to sneak the kitchen scissors and cut up a cardboard box.  He was trying to make a Pretty Pony house for his baby sister.  He cut the knuckle of his left pinky finger.  He went to the urgent care and received 3 stitches.  He cut through the tendon to the bone.

Then last but not least this is Bear.  He is Jayden’s BEST friend.  Bear goes every where.  Bear has been missing for three days now and it is a real tragedy.  We are asking for Prayers that Jayden will find her “Bear”.   Losing this bear even breaks Grandma’s heart.  This is Bear on he and Jayden’s Birthday.  Bear just turned 2.IMG_8646
