First Day of School

How is Harper starting kindergarten today?  We was so brave and no one cried!  His school does have uniforms.

Looking a little nervous

 There's a smile!

We are so proud of Harper and so excited for his first year of school!

End of Summer

I am sure this is the first of many times that I will say, where has the summer gone!  But seriously, I can't believe that summer is over. We were trying to cram in some more fun, but we had somethings come up that I will talk about another time.  But we still managed to have fun!  I had bought a box full of random stuff incase we needed some boredom busters this summer, but we never used them.  So I got them out one day and we did lots of crafts!

Window crayons!

Holden was really into the dry erase

For the very last night of summer, Harper wanted to go swimming after dinner.  We didn't get to stay long because we had to get to bed on time for school!

I just can't believe that Harper will start kindergarten in the morning!

Brothers

We had a mini photo shoot after baths tonight.  Man, it is so hard to take a good picture of 3 kids!

But they sure do love Hudson!

 

 Holden was running around and hiding from the camera.

 Hudson wouldn't look at the camera.

 I was trying to recreate this one.  Holden about 8 months and Harper just over 3 years old.

Busy Week!

We are trying to squeeze all the fun we can out of summer.  I am not even sure I can remember everything we did this week!

 We brought this awesome new bike back from Michigan.  Thanks Aunt Amy!

 Wednesday we met friends at the beach there were 10 boys and 1 girl!  Everyone had a great time!

After the beach, Harper went crabbing with Curt and Coleman.

Thursday was the waterpark.

Friday was Jake's birthday party.  Again lots of boys!

Waiting patiently for the cake

Then Friday afternoon Emily, Grayson, Laura and I headed out for our girls weekend.  We went to St. Simons to enjoy some kid free time.  We went shopping, to the beach and ate out.  It was so relaxing and just the perfect amount of time to miss Allen and the boys!  Sorry, we didn't take any pictures!

Allen was truly amazing while I was gone and took all 3 boys on several outings, even to the pool twice and to church including parking duty.

He met the other husbands and kids at the Dispensary

 

And a bike ride 

Waterpark

This was the last week for the waterpark.  It was open late tonight, so we for some nighttime fun!  We had a great time and I definitely think nighttime is the way to go!  I will post more pictures when we get the water camera developed.  It is much harder to use the real camera while watching 3 kids this year!

Harper just missed the bucket dump

Ware Visit

Mary Lou came down a few days before the baptism to play with the boys.  Then Jim, Meredith and Sawyer came down later.  We had a great visit, but I didn't take many pictures.

Hudson's Baptism

Hudson was baptized in the May River today by our church.  It was a beautiful service with several people being baptized.  Thankfully it wasn't as hot or as long as it was when Holden was baptized!

After the baptism we had some friends and family over for dinner.  It was such a special day!
