Heart of an Artist

Ryan asks to "paint" nearly every day. I can't and don't always say yes, it has to be relatively calm in the house, which doesn't happen all that often. But since he and I share a love for art, I can relate to his need to fulfill his inspirations, and so, he paints! His favorite medium is fabric paint and tee shirts ;) Wouldn't be my first choice.
Some of his other works of art are on display behind him on the fridge.
His love for animals, specifically horses, is growing. This week we learned about pregnant mares and their babies. Ha! This wasn't planned, just happened during a nap-time story, from a more realistic than I expected, children's nonfiction library book. So glad I didn't give birth to a 100 lb baby!!

Hopefully preschool will help fulfill his need for painting ;) He met his teacher yesterday and has since asked a dozen times, how long till his first day. He won't have to wait long, it's tomorrow!

Fly Eagles Fly

Football season is upon us again. I haven't much luck recruiting a Bronc0s fan :) With 4 males in the house, I guess I had better just embrace it.

 There was no communication between poses ;)

Whether she likes it or not, she is an Eag1es fan, at least until she outgrows this size 18 mo onesie from Owen's days. Did I mention she is officially on the growth chart? 2%, go ahead, girlie!

And just for fun, 9/2008

So Funny

God has such a great sense of humor. Owen has been wanting to play football for a long time. He finally gets to play (flag) and his team is the Cowboys, his NFL arch-rival. He is cringing under that star ;) Oh and the handsome assistant coach (in the background) isn't eager to wear the star either.

It gets better, his buddy, Joshua (out of town) who LOVES the Cowboys was placed on the Eagles. Ha! At least they can trade jerseys when it's all over ;)

Owen's first practice was Sunday afternoon. His remarks, practice was way too short." :)

Hanging with the Boys

She is watching their every move.

She tries on their clothes.

 She tries to play their games, dressing the part, of course. This time it was soccer ;)

  She eagerly wears (very retired) eagles attire.

This little Miss keeps us on our toes.

Fountain Fun

The Littles and I met Grandma and Tripp at a nearby water fountain. The temperatures have been much hotter this week, we were spoiled with a cooler summer.

Avery played it safe, unlike her cousin ;)

 

It was nice to catch up with my mom too! I am so blessed to have them nearby.

One more week before preschool starts!
