And we're off

....to Kindergarten that is!!


Here is Carson at his table first thing when we got there. He was so cute. He spent some time with his hands in his pockets walking around the room, just checking things out. Maybe he was rubbing that shiney new quarter Nana gave him to rub if he was feeling nervous or sad. It was to help him remember that Nana, Papa J, mommy and daddy were all thinking about him and praying for him on this special day! He didn't seem nervous or anything when we left. He seemed ready to learn!!


Mommy trying to hold back the tears realizing I am fixing to have to let go!





Carson gettting one last hug from little brother who is really going to miss him.


Nana came really for mommy, but loved getting to see Carson on his big day!
What a great help to me she was. We went shopping all day, one of our favorite things to do.
Thanks Nana! We love you!


This is day 2, this morning and still smiling!!


We were so lucky to get such a great teacher and a friend of mommy's from college. Miss Spindle is going to be a great teacher for Carson and makes mommy feel so good about leaving him. He is in such great hands. Thanks Miss Spindle for being YOU and having a heart for kids!! We are so blessed this year. We prayed and prayed to get the transfer and then we prayed some more for his teacher, whoever it was going to be. God was faithful again!
Also on the week of meet the teacher after we got the transfer we found out that Daniel's sister from Michigan and her family had just moved back to Denton that week after 20 years, and guess where his brother in law got a job teaching 2nd grade? Yes you guessed it, Pecan Creek. The Lord does work in mysterious ways. Now Carson has an uncle at the school to look after him too. When we were praying this prayer we had no idea God was going to bring family back to Texas and uncle Brian so close. WOW!! What a testimony to God's love for us and his timing.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phillipians 4:6 NIV
I love what The Message says too!
"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."

The Old Fire Truck

These pictures are for our favorite fireman(JK)! This was an old 1970 truck donated from the Dallas FD! The boys did not want to get off.


The Old Caboose and the Tractor


Carson was checking out the underneath and we talked about how Mr. Kenneth rides on lots of trains for his job. What a cool job!





This was an old tractor at the museum that the kids got to play on. These pictures were all for Mr. Kenneth.



Tyler Trip

Well as most of you may know my grandmother had major surgery a few weeks ago. She is getting some rehab in the hospital and will probably be going home soon. We decided to get away one last time before Carson started school, so we headed to Tyler last weekend. We booked a hotel with a pool and planned some fun activities for the boys. We also got to spend some great time with Aunt PheePhee, my parents and meme. Meme loved getting to see the boys again. Here are some pics of the boys at the Brookshires Wildlife Museum. What a neat place it was and it had a great park too.














Cameron found some leaves and was carrying them around. It was so cute how he did not want to loose them. Every time he dropped them he would find the same ones and pick them up again. I just had a get a picture of his cute little chubby hands holding them.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Daniel got tickets to the Ranger game this week. Carson got to spend some quality time with daddy and my dad(Papa J). The seats were great and they had a fun time.
