Vonda's Birthday

Jason had to work today. Cayson was at Granny's and Grandpa's. Jaelyn wanted us to go get breakfast at Waffle House. I called my parents and invited them. It was a good morning! The kids and I came home and they played in the water hose. That afternoon, we went to Triple B Barbecue downtown. The kids got to go down big slides and got a snow cone. Jason got home. We went to dinner at Outback. The kids were dying to tell the waitress that it was my birthday! The waitresses all came to the table and sang to me:) After dinner, we went and watched The Lorax. It was a great day with my family!!

Teacher Work Day Fun

Since Jaelyn had the day off, Daddy decided to take half the day off also. We all went fishing at Duck Pond. The kids love going there because they always catch fish there. We even got Grandpa to tag along. We all had a lot of fun!

7th Special Forces Open House

We went to the Open House on October 14, 2011. Jason was off that day, and he wanted to take the kids to see all the festivities going on. We checked Jaelyn out of school. They got to look and go inside of a lot of different vehicles the military use. They also got to pretend to shoot guns. Their favorite part of all....eating in the Chow Hall! I know, it doesn't take much to entertain my kids:)

"Suessical the Musical"

Jaelyn and I went with her class to see "Suessical the Musical" at the Maddie Kelly Arts Center at NWFSC. It was a pretty cute musical. The kids enjoyed it a lot. After the musical, we went with the class and had a picnic. I'm glad I got to have this experience with her.

Corn Maze

On October 8, 2011, we went to the Corn Maze near Milton. We had a lot of fun. We went on the corn maze first. They gave us a clue sheet to get out of it, thank goodness. If we wouldn't have had it, the kids would have started running through the corn stalks to get out. They also had a bucket full of corn kernals. The kids jumped on in! Jaelyn got to shoot corn. She loved it....Cayson not so much. He decided to let Jaelyn have his turn. Then we all went on a hay ride that was pulled by a tractor. The kids rode a train made out of barrells that were painted like cows. They went "super fast"!! I thought Cayson was going to fly out, but he held on. They ended up playing on the playground for a little while before we left. We all loved going to the corn maze, and even decided we are going to go back soon.

Curious Cayson

Cayson loves being outside. He is outside almost all day long. This particular day is was playing in the front yard. He came running inside and told me he found a turtle. I did not realize he was holding the turtle. I asked him what we should do with him. He said he needed his momma. So we took the turtle back to the lake to find his momma.

Pajama and Pancake Day

Jaelyn had a pajama and pancake day at school on September 29, 2011. The kindergarten students were studying the letter P that week. The whole Primary Cluster got to be involved with this special day. All the students loved wearing their pajamas and slippers and eating pancakes. Here are some pictures....
