Sophie's first field trip

Sophie got to help stuff a scarecrow that her class got to take back to their room.

Sophie's class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. She was so excited to go on a hayride with all of her friends and her teachers Miss Sue and Monica. I had fun getting to meet all of her friends that I hear about all the time.

Random thoughts

I am getting so excited about my trip to Vegas with Robin. Only two and a half weeks left to go. I can't wait.
Sophie is in her big girl bed now. It makes me so sad to see the crib out in the garage. John William got a new bed also and we redecorated his room. Lexie and Sophie are now sharing a room and Sophie is thrilled, Lexie not so much.
I am watching Sam in a few minutes while Kimie takes Jack to the doctor. He is such a cutie. I could just eat him up.
Big News: Kimie and Brad are having another baby! I'm very excited. Three was just right for us, but I still get cravings for another baby. Kimie's little ones give me the chance to snuggle with babies all I want. I'm hoping for a little girl this time, but another sweet boy would be great too.
Report cards come out on Thurs. We have PTF Thurs night. The kids have worked so hard!

Cheerleaders

I'm getting the carpet cleaned today. We started moving furniture around last night to get ready for today. I have a big chest in my closet that has all of my baby pictures and the kids baby books and the outfits that they wore home from the hospital. It has all of our wedding pictures in it too. Last night we moved it out and the kids wanted to see what was inside it. I had forgotten most of it. They found lots of old pictures and my cheering uniform. Lexie had so much fun trying on the uniform and my wedding veil. I started looking at all the pictures and some of them made me laugh! The kids has quite a laugh over Mommy and Aunt Kimie and Aunt Jamie's hair do's. Here's a picture of Jenn, Jamie and I right before Jenn and I's suprise sweet 16 party. That was so much fun!

13 Years

Yesterday was our 13th anniversary. I don't know where the years have gone! Ben brought home the most beautiful tulips, my favorites. This weekend we have date night. He always makes our anniversary so special. He's such a great guy.

Our Vacation

So we had a very busy trip! We left Thursday night and got to Ben's parents in Fredricksburg late. Friday we went to the Air and Space Museum and then went to the Spy Museum. Lexie had a allergic reaction to something on the headphones in the SPy Museum and we ended up taking her to the doctor. Her ears swelled up and her throat started to close. She's going to be on medicine for ten days. It was scary. Sat. we went to the Natural History Museum and had a blast. My niece Savannah who is the same age as Lexie came with us and Ben's parents. The kids got to ride the Metro and thought it was a great adventure. I thought it was gross! Sunday we went to Kings Dominion with Ben's sister and both of her girls. Lexie and her daddy rode all the rollercosters they could find while John William and I stayed pretty close to the ground. We got blisters from all the walking. Then Monday we got up and packed up and went to Williamsburg. It was hot!!!! Lexie and I are wimps and decided that we really wanted to go home, but the boys made us go on. We ate lunch at the Kings Arms one of my moms favorite restaurants. Then we headed home. My feet still hurt and we took today to sleep and finish schoolwork and go grocery shopping. Sophie had a wonderful time with her grandparents and didn't seem to miss us at all. Nana said she was so good. We missed her so much! Now I have to get back to the laundry :(

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids and Lexie's friend Attalie to the pumpkin patch this weekend. My camera died and I left the extra batteries in the car so we only have a few pictures. It was so much fun. My mom came with us. The kids went on a hayride and got their faces painted and went to the petting zoo. The weather was perfect! This weekend we also took the older kids to see The Game Plan with the Rock. It was really cute and I just have to say that the Rock is yummy!
