Summer of Super Heroes!

Watch out bad guys, Price is here to save the day! This has been the adorable summer of super heroes! I never now what character will come down the stairs next! He has Spiderman and Iron Man costumes, but the ones that get worn the most are the ones with a "P" on them. He makes up his own super hero names and powers. Of course no hero is complete without spectacular sound effects, and Price is NOT short on those! The pows, booms, bangs, wacks and pops flow freely throughout the ENTIRE day! : ) He is definately "all boy" and I LOVE IT! This ittle man is most certainly my hero!

Kindergarten

Price is going to Kindergarten! I feel like someone should pinch me because it just doesnt seem possible! He looked so cute in his little plaid shorts, polo and deck shoes. He took off out the door with his backpack and lunch box in tow.

Jon gave Price big hugs before school like he always does, but this time he held onto his boy a little longer. YaYa came over to see Price and then rode with me to take him to school. I was fine all morning until it was time to hug him and say goodbye. HE was fine. I, on the other hand, walked down the hall from his classroom like a weeping bafoon! I am so happy he is growing and learning and getting his little wings. I was emotional because I kept thinking "where does the time go?"

He has a wonderful teacher! Mrs. Walker is a sweet lady with a daughter Price's age. Price is social and loves to learn. He has always enjoyed being around other children. I am so proud of him. He is smart and friendly and loves structure. He is going to LOVE kindergarten!

Maggie Beth is 8 months

Maggie Beth is 8 months old! She is a little sweetheart! She sits up really well. She leans forward on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. If she tries to get something out of reach, she falls down on her tummy and will eventually get frustrated and roll over onto her back. She has one tooth and another is just below the gums. She gets excited when she sees drinks with straws, icecream and popsicles. She gets most excited when she sees Price! She says Mama, Da da, and Bubba. Though she may not know she is calling us by our "names" she has got us all covered! Watching Harley makes her giggle. She claps her hands when I say "pat-a-cake" and cries if I leave the room. In church, she sings. She says "aaaahhh" the whole time the band is playing. It is so darn cute! She LOVES bathtime, swimming in the pool and splashing her little hands in water on her high chair tray. She very much dislikes getting strapped into her carseat, but is fine once she is all buckled in. Her favorite snacks are graham crackers, nilla wafers, Gerber puffs and most any fruit. She eats best during lunch and she is a pro at the sippy cup! She naps at 9 am., 1 p.m., sleeping about 1 to 1.5 hours each time, and goes to bed around 8 p.m. She wakes around midnight and 5 a.m. to nurse and sometimes wakes between times wanting her bink (which makes for one tired Mama). Her day starts around 7 a.m. Maggie Beth is cuddly, sweet, dainty, smiley, happy and vocal. We love and adore our little angel baby!

Our pool

Jon's family is a huge gaggle. His mom is one of 8 children. Most of them have at least 3 children, so Jon has alot of first cousins. Most of his cousins have 2 children, so the family tree keeps growing more branches. Today, the Jone's clan participated in a softball tournament in Amber for a fundraiser. After winning the first game and losing the next 2, they all went to eat at Mazzios Pizza and then cam to our house to swim.

Drive in movie

learning....

Got it!

Jon took Price to see Toy Story 3 at the drive-in. I packed popcorn, grapes, and string cheese for snacks so my men could munch during the show. While waiting for the movie, Price learned how to do the "Texas stinks" sign that all Sooner Born children learn to do. It did rain a little, but they sat in the cab of the truck and had a great time! Yay for good summer fun!

Adoration!!

Maggie Beth LOVES her big brother! He will simply walk into the room and she grins ear to ear!! When he plays, she looks at him like he is the most amazing thing she has ever seen. It is complete adoration!...and so stink'n sweet to see the love the have for each other! These pics were taken while she was watching her "bubby."

I mean really....he is pretty adorable!

Over the weekend, we went to the lake with our extended family! It was a blast!!!! My mom, aunt Tam and aunt Abby; Abby's boyfriend Barry, Evva, Clint, Keelyn and Bryce. Bridget, Caleb, Joshua, Isaac and Micaiah. My dad, me Price and Maggie Beth. My mom's cousin from North Dakota, Roger, his wife Chris and their 4 children; Matthew, Aubrey, Alexa and Jaden. 11 children total! We went out on the boat, swam in the lake, and played on Jet Skiis. After Price had his first ride on the Jet Ski, he said "Mom, that was SO fun! I have to get one of those!" We laughed and had a great time! Precious memories were made this weekend. So fun!!! : )
