Pumpkin Patch Pictures

It was miserably hot this year when we took pumpkin pictures with Mrs. Betsy but the kids smiled anyway and pretended it was fall.  Ha!  This was one of the easiest mini sessions we have ever had - probably because Kate and Mason are pros by now!







Happy Fall!

Mason is Five!

Mason is now five years old!  We celebrated his birthday a little early this year because he wanted to see the Lego Ninjago movie with his friends.  Since the move came out at the end of September, we decided to have his party the first weekend in October to ensure the movie would still be playing.  

We booked the party room at Governor's Square Theater and had a great time watching the movie and then eating cake and opening presents afterwards. It was a little more stressful than I anticipated but we all had a great time!

The invitation:

Family picture!

On the Thursday night of Mason's actual birthday, we celebrated with our annual family birthday dinner at Red Elephant (Mason's pick).  We had a wonderful time and the kids enjoyed playing in the game room.  It was dark when we finished dinner and everyone started to leave quickly so we didn't get a group picture but that's ok!  

Happy 5th Bithday, Mason!

Boosterthon Fun!

This was the first year I have attended Boosterthon, the big fundraiser at Roberts!  Daddy has gone the past two years but since he had recently started a new position at DOT, we decided it would be better for me to go.  Mason and I had a great time cheering on Kate and she was once again one of the first ones to finish 35 laps.  I think this girl has a future on a cross country or track team.
 Ready to cheer on Kate!


It was hot that morning but thankfully Kate's class was the first group at 8:45am.  They put a lot of work into Boosterthon - there were tents set up with water bottles and clappers called the "VIP" section for family/friends.  Each of the classes had made signs and ran through the big blowup tunnel when their class was called.  


All done!


 35 laps - check!

Happy Father's Day!

I want to wish this special guy a Happy Father's Day!  One day Kate and Mason will realize how lucky they are to call him dad.  He coac...
