New Preschooler!

My baby girl went to preschool this week!!!

Isn't she the cutest?

She cried a little when I dropped her off, but in the words of her teacher, "after a few minutes, she was the belle of the ball!"

And, even though preschool is old hat to Walker, I have to include his first day pic:

Sooooo handsome!

They are so sweet together!

CHEESE!

Protective big bro!

Beautiful babes.

Big smiles!  Ready for the first day!

Both of them go to school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  So, I'm happy to report a successful first week!  It's great to see my kids interact with other kids.  I'm very hopeful about a fantastic year.  I know they are both going to learn a lot and have a great time!

August Catch Up

I've been bad this month.  It's time to catch up!  It was fun going through the camera and finding cute pictures!

I'm not sure what they are looking at, but they are cute!

My three favorite people... EVER!

Walker and Everly hanging with their cousins, Anna, Aidan and Kyle!

So, for some reason, blogger isn't working with me.  So, here are a few captions about the photos above! Love my sweet babies hanging out together.  I really don't even know what we were doing that day, but Walker and Everly were just too cute sitting by each other.  They are tan and happy.  What a combination!

 Debra (Walker's girlfriend) came over this week and brought both kids HUGE lollipops!  Oh my.  They loved them!  She's so sweet!  We love her.

And, finally, Blair and Lily were in town, visiting from California.  Walker and Lily have known each other almost all their lives!  And, Lily is a new big sis.  Caroline wasn't thrilled with getting her picture taken, but we have proof that all four kids played together!!!!

I promise to TRY to not get so behind again.  I hate it when it's been weeks since I blogged.  But, at least I do finally catch up!!!!

Our Beautiful Babes

We couldn't be more blessed!!!!

Could they love each other any more?  NO!

So, so sweet.  This one will be framed in our house forever!

Sly smiles!

I love my big brother!

Such a sweet girl!

Handsome boy!

Love them.

Truly the sweetest!

Goodness, I love my babies.  They are so precious and sweet together.  These are some of my favorite pictures ever!!!!

Our Little Fish

A couple of videos from our swimming fish!  It sure is fun to have kids and a pool!

Bentwater Resort

We are so excited that Bunny and RayRay have found really nice friends in Bentwater.  More exciting....  that they found friends that have an amazing house.  Really exciting... that their friends are kind enough to invite the Wood children over for a playdate!

Clark was in Bermuda last week, so I took Walker and Everly to Bentwater to spend the night.  Everly has to bring a lot of stuff.

We had a fun evening, then got up the next morning for an exciting day.  We got to go to Bob and Michele's house......  Mom and Ray call it the resort.  I see why.  It is an amazing house on the lake.

With a FANTASTIC pool!  The kids got to swim with their grandchildren and everyone had a great time.

Playing in the fountains.

Bunny and Everly are cute!  And, check out the view!

Everly loved the fountains!

Under the bridge!

So fun!

Walker's swimming skills get better everyday.  I'm so proud of him!  And, Hurricane Everly is very brave!  She's not really swimming yet, but she's improving, as well.

I sure hope we get invited to the resort again soon!

More Ryder

Silly me.... when I did my Ryder post, I forgot to pull stuff from my phone!!!!  Everly was all about her cousin!

And, here are a couple of videos of Ryder being the "bedtime police!"

So cute.  I'm so glad they all had such a good time!

Cousin Ryder

What a fun summer..... Savannah came to visit, then Carson, and finally, Ryder!!!  He spent the week with Bunny and RayRay and got to go to camp Bentwater.  We went to visit one afternoon and he asked if he could come to our house.  Of course, Aunt Deana was thrilled.  Even more thrilled.... Walker and Everly.  They got Ryder all to themselves for an entire weekend!

Ryder is such a sweet boy.... he's great with his younger cousins.  I think they all had a great time playing!  Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow for swimming.  So, video games and glow in the dark putt putt worked for entertainment.

Here are lots of pics from our fun time!

Ryder didn't wear a shirt, so guess who decided he didn't need one either!

Shuffleboard fun!

Bunny helping Everly play.  She's surprisingly good!

So sweet.

Love this one!  The little cousins want to be just like Ryder!

Silly times at the table!

Arcade time!  Yep, Ryder's mini me right with him.

Notice a trend?

All three sweeties playing!

Putt putt!  They loved it!

The boys with their gorilla friend.

What's in here??

Love that they love each other!

He's such a sweet boy with a sweet smile!

Using chopsticks for the first time!  He's a pro.

We really enjoyed having our little buddy hang with us!  Can't wait until next time!
