Connor's First Day of Kindergarten

 My handsome boy started kindergerten today! I can't believe how big he is already. He was really excited and had a really great first day.

Olivia's First Birthday Party

    August is Olivia's month, and we are celebrating her all month long. Last Sunday we had a tiny birthday celebration for her and my father in law at their house. Olivia and Pappy share a birthday and we wanted to celebrate them before the summer ended and I came back home. We had cupcakes, they opened presents, ate steaks, and swam.

A Surprise For Daddy

    Before we went to South Carolina, Levi asked Connor if he wanted to work on a special project for Aaron. Anyone who knows Connor knows he is always up for a project! This boy lives on them, so of course he was excited and said yes! When Levi asked what he wanted to make for him, he responded with an American flag. Little does Connor know, that is Levi's specialty. He makes them in his free time and then sells them.They are beautiful and as you can see in the following pictures, they are wonderfully made and very time consuming.

Their surprise all finished.

Greenville, SC Day 6 to 9

Day 6: August 1, 2018 

      Today was a rainy day. We started by taking the kids to open gymnastics. Connor liked everything about it. The foam pit, the bars, the rope swing... Olivia just liked being able to crawl everywhere. Ever since Connor was a baby and picked up hand, foot, and mouth disease from playing in a public play area, it freaks me out to let Olivia play in a place where there are tons of kids. I let her anyways and just washed her hands really well afterwards. The girls got tired about 30 minutes in, so we left a little earlier and let Connor stay with Levi. We took them to Chick-fil-A and then went home where we put them down for naps and then let them play afterwards.

Greenville, SC Day 4 & 5

Day 4: July 30, 2018 

    On our fourth day in SC, Levi and Connor had a boys day, and Morgan and I had a girls day with our girls. The boys went fishing, and us girls went shopping. Connor and Levi also started on their surprise for Aaron, but I will do a separate post on that because it was really special.

 He caught two fish total.
