so in order to pay for my new car...i am teaching preschool this year...the 3 year class 4 days a week. i tried to teach kindergarten on tuesday and i'm SO not teaching kindergartners! but wednesday went MUCH better. my class is wonderful and it should be a fun year!
here's a couple pics of the kids the morning of the first day - they were quite excited! and marie wouldn't stand still to save her life...but that's actually pretty normal for her!
its s 2009 mazda mazda5...the color is galaxy gray...has seating for 6...power everything (except seats and doors)...even has climate control...gets over 27 mpg...and I LOVE IT! i've never had a new car before, so its quite exciting!! hooray for me!!! we're going to take it on a road in october down to my grandpa's house for our real family vacation...i'm excited!
so for our mini end of summer vacation, we took the kids to the zoo (which i forgot my camera in the car OOPS!) and then took ourselves to the nascar race in atlanta! it was SO much fun...we just might make that an annual thing. :) it was louder than i thought - hence the nice ear muffs in our pictures, and the people who attend races (which i guess now includes us?) our quite...um...colorful?? heh...part of the fun was watching those die hard race fans consume their beverages. ;)
gearing up to go...testing out the racing equipment the night before the race
eben also tested out rhett's racing equipment (he was listening to Yo Gabba Gabba)...so incredibly priceless!! he couldn't hear a thing we were saying!
here with my hubby! how exciting!
dad and rhett - gordan vs. johnson - let's see who wins!
boogity! boogity! boogity!!!
listening to the broadcast so we know what's going on...and saving our hearing!
it was so loud!!!!!!
this was the kids' first car wash...and they had a BLAST! rhett said eben's favorite part was spraying his sister and watching her scream...i don't think that ever gets old for big brothers!! marie and i hung out inside and washed the windows...or at least i washed the windows. ;)
one of my kids' all time favorite places is monkey joes...they LOVE it! we took our friend jake with us this time. :) emily jane made him go down the slide - doesn't he look like he just loves it too? HA!
so i'm playing catch up on my blog - its been a month or so...
this is a video of when marie really started taking off walking. she's such a big girl now - no more little baby...sigh...but her age is such fun right now. :) so i'm enjoying it even if she isn't my little snuggly baby any longer.
emily jane's list of excuses as to why she can't go to bed. she comes up with a new one every night!
i have to go to chick fil a.
i need to go to walmart!
i really want to go to the fire restaurant! (i.e. japanese steakhouse).
we didn't go to the library today. i need to go to the library.
and the latest...
i'm not at grandma's house! i really really really want to go night night at grandma's house!
my little shy eben boy got up and sang into a mic up in front of the whole church during the music drama performance! i was so proud of him!
so we took our family on our first camping trip - and i loved it! we had so much fun. but i don't think i'm going again in august - it was SO incredibly HOT! i don't think i've ever been so sweaty for so long. but here's a few pictures - i'll put more up later. :)
our very first tent...we loved it!!!
the view from the top of stone mountain - i did not hike up with the kids...we rode up the sky ride tram. :D and down as well HA!
my oh so pretty emily jane enjoying the view.
so - what do you think marie is going to do next? mischief and mayhem is my guess.
riding the sky tram down from the mountain. :)
marie's separate room in our tent. :) sleeping very soundly.
the other half of our tent - kids still sleeping at 8AM - they were do tired...but happy. :)
eben: mommy, i like girls best. cuz girls are always nice.
