Carnival

We had the school carnival on Saturday! 

Our costumes are: A Cowboy (with a gun, that made the whole costume), Minnie Mouse, and Wonder Woman. We managed to pretty much have the costumes on hand. I bought some cheap shoes for Maggie and painted them yellow, and we had everything else!

The carnival was FUN! Kylee ran around by herself this year. She's very comfortable their, and has made some friends, so that makes the carnival enjoyable. Karter WON at the coke toss so many times; he gave one to Kylee. Maggie liked everything, and immediately ate her candy. Ha! But, her favorite was the DUCK POND, where she would pick only the yellow ducks. Yellow is her favorite color! Jaxon's just happy going where Kylee goes. 

Kylee with her friend, Emma, the Indian!! They are such sweet girls! 

Kylee and I stayed when it was over to help clean up. It's amazing how fast everyone can break it down. Anyways, it was fun! Looking forward to many more years at the carnival! Now, by the time, Maggie is in 4th or 5th grade, I may be looking forward to being DONE with the carnival! Ha! 

Staff

Sweet Maggie had to go see Dr. Patyrak last week, for a type of staff on her bottom. :( And I definitely do not win "MOM of the YEAR" on this. Back in July, I took her in because she had dots on her bottom, well after that, they came back, and have been there ever since. So, I finally decided to take her back in, and I'm glad I did! She just never complained about them, or itched, or ran fever like an infection, or anything, so I just ignored them. 

Anyways, we got a stronger antibiotic, and are bathing her bottom in a couple different things, and putting a cream on it. It was gone within a couple days of starting the medicine. She's a trooper, and a happy girl most of the time!

She looked so cute before church on Sunday, and so full of personality, and opinionated!

And the pig-tails are a MUST!! 

NNO

We sure enjoyed National Night Out last night. And I must say the helicopter leaving was awesome! Jaxon was in AWE!! But, he would NOT get in the helicopter or even close! 

It was sure fun to run around with Emma and Easton! The Sheriff talked to them, and the fire truck was fun too!! 

Pink Run

So Brianne and I wanted to run the 5K for the Pink Ribbon Run. I asked Kylee if she wanted to run in the "PINK" run, and she immediately said YES! She thought this was a color run, and this was the PINK one. Silly girl! 

Anyways, she DID NOT want to get out of bed that day, but by the time we got there, she was acting silly! My mom ran with her, I mean, kind of. :)

Here they are at the start, and then some of Kylee finishing! She did really good. There were some kids in front of her, but they were older like, 10-12 years, and only one little one in front of her. 

Then we ran the 5K, and about died. But, it was good for us, and a great cause!

And she made the newspaper!

Daily Questions

This is what our nights look like. All of them gathered around Jason playing the "question" game. We all end up laughing at Maggie because she doesn't know the answers. Ha! They LOVE it!

Questions are easier for Maggie like:

What is your favorite color?

What is your second favorite color? 

Name one of your uncles.

What color is a tractor?

Questions for Jaxon are usually like this:

What is the biggest equipment on the farm?

What color does the cotton turn?

What do we use to harvest the cotton?

Questions for Kylee are the hardest:

Who was the first president of the US?

Who is our pastor at church?

Who is the song person at church?

Count to some number.

How to spell some word from school?

The funniest was the other night, Jason said, "Ok if Maggie gets this question right, we don't have to brush our teeth!" Obviously he was going to make the question so hard that she wouldn't get it right. Ha! 

Who is the president of the US right now? She said, "Josh and Melissa!" Jaxon started crying hysterically because he didn't want to brush his teeth!

Good times. 

Goodness

The weather is glorious right now, and sharing it with these people at this time in our lives is just pure goodness. 

We stay outside as much as possible these days.

Riding Bikes. Jaxon and Kylee have started doing the weave. You know what I'm talking about. Where you weave through the yellow lines on the road. That's like a fun childhood memory of mine. I know. I was a loser! Ha! 

Jaxon and Maggie and I went to the park the other morning. 

Jaxon has learned to swing by himself, so he loves doing it at home too!

Jaxon's Bike Story. 

Jaxon left his bike behind the car, and Jason ran over it. He didn't cry or anything, but we told him we weren't buying a new one. The next week he was asking for a bike to ride, but he didn't want to ride a girl one. 

So Jason got Kylee's old Hello Kitty bike, and spray painted it silver. He really likes it.  Now, we call him the Silver Bullet because he likes to go fast!!

A Good Time

We had a good time Saturday afternoon. We cleaned up real quick from Kylee's Birthday Party, packed a cooler, and headed out with the gator for our 2nd trip to ride 4-wheelers with our Sunday School Class. 

Do I tell you we have the most awesome Sunday School Class? 

There was an extra 4-wheeler this time, so Jason decided he would have more fun on that, so I ended up driving the Gator, and Amanda rode with me!

Boys, I sometimes love how they never grow up. Sometimes. :) Jason enjoyed following Tyrel, our fearless leader that's an ER visit waiting to happen, doing all sorts of steep hills and fast speeds! And one girl did turn her 4-wheeler over sideways when she was going up a steep hill. It scared me, but she is like a hoss so she was fine! Ha! 

The best part about it to me is seeing the huge trees down by the river, and the beautiful water, and rocks. It gorgeous!!

Jason testing out the water seeing if we could ride across. Too deep. 

We had a really good time!!
