"Down on the Farm" day at school, The State Fair, Halloween FUN!, etc!

Les & Ceci have had a lot going on lately.:) They have the busiest little schedules. Below are some pics of recent fun events!

Some funnies from the kids:

Les loves waiving and saying "hey everybody" anywhere we go.:) Patrons love it. Ha

When I rock him every night, he grabs my face and gives me kisses then hugs me.. and says "that makes you happy? I'm so sweet." Yes, he is.:):)

Ceci asked me last week... "your breath stinks. Have you washed your face yet?" ;)

Anytime Ceci smells a poopey diaper or gas, she says "does something smell awful in here or what?!" It's hilarious.

Ceci & Les were at Mam-ma's house, and Ceci said "Les, why don't you come crawl up on my lap, and I'll read you a book?" Then, after he did, she turned to him and said "Les, are you comfy??" So cute. And sweet.

That same afternoon, Les woke up from his nap with a big poopey, and after Mam-ma changed his diaper, he said, "Thank you so much Mam-ma." He is too sweet.... and funny!:)


Ceci & Les had "Down on the Farm" day at school, and it was really cute. They loved it!!

Les wasn't so sure about being squished.

Brave little cowboy!!

Checking things out...

Ready for the day!

One Sunday, we and the Hartels headed to Jackson for the State Fair. Their first fair experience. Ceci and Ella darted a balloon on their first try! Go girls!:)

Les won too!!!;) I won't tell anyone that they let him try until he won.:) Hey, he still walked away with a blow-up dolphin the size he was!

Hey Mommy! Daddy was a trooper and rode all the rides with him. I did a few.:)

Ceci and Ella on the tilt-a-whirl with Mrs. Maurie and Mr. Forrest.

Ella & Ceci loving the fair!

Daddy told Les to put his hands in the air in the tilt-a-whirl. He was sooooo cute. He wasn't quite sure of things at first but left the ride with a smile.

Baby Shower fun in ATL for Molly's sweet little boy, Camden. We can't wait for his arrival!!

Oh, did I mention in the blog yet that our little family will add another in 2015?!? A BOY! A full post to come!
OH MY! How cute are these two little witches ready to take on the town!?! We were all headed to Elleigh's 5th birthday party at ACE gymnastics! The kiddos all had a BLAST!

More hexing fun!!

LOVE!
Ceci looking as though she's casting a spell...


Cuties.


Oh my! So Daddy was out of town, and I was scurrying to find a costume for the kids that they weren't wearing Halloween night. I spotted this necklace at Target and the rest was thrown together at home... Eminem was the idea... Maybe Bieber circa 2010 when he was cool...

Love this "m&m"

Ready for some trick or treating FUN!!

Love these sweet friends!!

Superheroes!!

Getting ready!

The Witches!!

And... another costume!! Mother's Day Out Halloween parade!! Mermaid & Buzz Lightyear.

Halloween movie night fun at the Hartels. Mrs. Maurie is always the BEST hostess!!!
Vera, Ceci, Shelby & Ella

Playdate fun with our neighbor Shelby! Toys R Us, Mexican, then 32 degrees for ice cream!:)

Ceci was a flower girl in Jonathan's cousin's wedding last year, and she just posted these pictures. I HAD to document these. Our Ceci is TOOOOOO sweet. She is growing up too fast. Oh, did I mention she was the PERFECT flower girl? 

Look at that smile!

I LOVE HER.

Les at Two (and lots of random pics!!)

The kids have been busy... and keeping me busy! They really are so sweet, but Les has been really giving me a run for my money lately. He is ALL BOY --- rough, rough, ROUGH! He walks around hitting Ceci, pushing her, etc. We are working on this! He is a hoot too. Jonathan tooted the other day, and Les crawled up on the couch and pulled back his shorts to "check his pants for poo poo." Hysterical! Then, he checked his teacher at school! She said it was time to check everyone before lunch, so the teachers were checking for poopies. He went behind her and pulled up her skirt to check her!!! OH MY! She was in tears telling me the story... hilarious! He's been calling Ceci "Ceci Bug" since I've been calling her that. It's SO CUTE to hear him say it. This week, 25 months old, his teacher said he told her he wanted to teetee on potty!! Exciting! I wasn't planning to start training this early (don't ask me why; I just figured I would wait closer to 2.5 yrs)... Looks like it's time to train! Go Les!! He's obsessed with the characters in the movie CARS. Lightening McQueen is his favorite. Typical boy... his love for matchbox!! He LOVES when Daddy comes home. Immediately wants to play with him (and rough!), but he still wants Mommy to put him down every night.:)


We had a playdate at Lucy Kate's... looks like Ceci needs one of these for Christmas!

Nanny & Poppy went to South Africa and brought these cute shirts home for the kids!

Another trip to the zoo! It was HOT!

Riding the concrete ant!

And her too...

Our little man and his localized mosquito allergy! Poor Bubba!!:(

Hanging at the camp with Papa & Mam-ma!!

Lunch date with Meredith Shook!! 

Getting clean!!

She writes so well!! Almost got them all right.:)

Daddy went to the US Open for work. C's cute tee!

Ummm, Les got hand, foot & mouth disease. His reaction was more severe than Ceci's. Poor boy! It took DAYS to start clearing up. Sweet boy still as handsome as ever!!

Les got his first award in school!!!:):):)

Ceci fell out of her bed face first (second time this month). First it was a goose egg to the head, now a busted lip. Her convertible crib is like a foot off the ground. And has a rail! She just gets tangled up in her blanket (we think)... Geez!!

We took family pics a few weeks ago! They turned out great!!









Playdate with Shelby!!

KAPPA DELTA BID DAY!! Ceci went with me to Bid Day this year at USM. She absolutely loved it!! This is an active, Lindsay Carter.

Fun in the photo booth!!

She was being SO silly. She only had 6 glasses of bright blue punch to get her going!!

Hanging with Mrs. Lynds who came in town!

My girl!

Having fun with another future little KD, Katie B.

She's a natural!!:)


Celebrating Uncle Josh's bday at the camp!!

Aftermath of another vicious mosquito attack

Ceci loving on Aunt Leah & Aunt Sarah!!

Being sweet:)

Ceci helped brush teeth while Les was getting checked. (When it was Les' turn to play with the big brush, you will never guess... YES, he put it in his mouth. I'm sure it's totally germ-free.)

Sweet, sweet friends waiting for dance class to start. Ceci, Vera & Lucy Kate
