Murray swagger wagon

Here is Leia in her very own "swagger wagon" video. :-)

Swagger Wagon

It's official. We have a swagger wagon. Cue video:

Aaron spent many hours at the dealership with all of the kiddos while I was blissfully unaware and enjoying a day of reading at Barnes and Noble. So far, the magic doors are my favorite feature.

Lincoln is a Bull

Lincoln started his first season of Tball last week- he is on the Bulls. He did great at practice on Tuesday, and it was fun to see Landon in "big brother" mode- showing Lincoln the ropes and even running alongside him and cheering him on as he ran the bases.

school lunch

Leia and I joined Landon for lunch at school on Friday. Colton's family was also there, as well as Ava G's mom, a friend from church.

Swim Test

Last week we went to the YMCA with the Ostendorf and Ferguson clans for a swim date after school. Both Landon and Kale passed their swim test for the first time and went down the water slide for the first time. It was a great day!

First Day of School

Landon has not been very excited about school. He is a smart cookie and I think he realizes that his days of carefree video gaming are over (until college...well, and maybe summer breaks!). :-)

Today was his first day of kindergarten as a Teravista Tiger. He woke up right on time, and after only telling me once or twice that he wasn't going and he was too tired and seven hours was too long, he got dressed in his new Batman shirt, gathered his things, and I took him to school to eat breakfast. Our little friend, Madison, met us in the cafeteria, and we took her to her classroom first, and then went on to Landon's room. His teacher, Mrs. Goertz, greeted us, and had playdoh out on the tables for the kids to play with. Landon went right over to his table and sat down. My "Mr. Independent" was ready to go....see ya, Mom...thanks for five years of fun....now it's off to the "real" world to learn to read and write and all that other good stuff. ;-)

Lincoln, Leia, and I picked him up after school and he was in good spirits. He said the best part was free time where he got to play with blocks and playdoh. He also liked PE and recess. His teacher said, "it was an okay day for the first day of kindergarten." Hah! She has a challenging job, to say the least, and I'm already trying to show her we appreciate her by bringing her treats. The boys helped me make cookies tonight that we will bring tomorrow, and today we brought some Avon treats and a Sonic drink after school. I'm all about bribery and giving gifts and treats is my preferred way to encourage others and show them I care.

addicted to instagram

it's so fun to play with...and I check the app way too often to see what other people I am following have posted (this is just another confirmation for me that I would waste way too much time and be way too voyeuristic if I had a Facebook page).Here are some recent pics.
