Annie Jaye turns 7!

 Happy Birthday to our sweet Annie Jaye!  This girls is all about soccer, basketball, softball, swimming, perfecting her cartwheels, jumping on the trampoline, rollerblading all over the house, eating cucumbers, fried rice and candy, drawing pictures and playing on her iPad!  What could be more fun than getting a half day at school, getting to go to Benihana for lunch and then play soccer that night on your birthday?




 She had a sleepover birthday party with 6 friends, we were all exhausted the following morning...and Annie even lost her voice!  Party was complete with painting, games, food, fun, moving, dance party and another cookie cake!






















 Gwyn had a kickball playdate on one of the half days...cute, fun girls!

 Jacob had his first baseball tournament of the Fall season...lots of fun to watch him catch and pitch!




 Early morning chilly soccer game!

School Pictures and Soccer Stars!

School pictures came home this week, my 5th, 3rd and 1st graders were all smiles.  Growing up too fast.

Everyone is biking to school and back every day.  The kids love it, and the weather has cooperated pretty much every day...only a couple of wet bike rides home!

Derby girls out for an evening stroll!
A visit to the Willards so the girls could hold their new kittens...I told them to let me take a picture, so they would have a memory from their childhood of holding a pet, ha!


A two weekend project of Brian's to relocate our pool equipment and piping so that it is out of the way of our addition to the house has been completed!  The pool water has never circulated so well!  Jacob and Brian did an awesome job and saved us a lot of money!  Jacob wanted to go eat a steak at Taste of Texas as payment for his hard work, but we haven't made it there yet, ha!



Soccer friends!



Jason got some great shots at Annie and Gwyn's games last weekend, it was a hot one, but so much fun to watch their girls in action!  They both had goals in their games!












I had Jason's camera and got a couple of cute pictures of the kids...Annie has finally learned to ride the electric scooter and she can't get enough of it...she's a wild one!

Pure sweetness and joy!

Love their smiles...
Jacob was busy in a wiffle ball game, but I got a couple of pictures of him with his buds:
