In other September news...

Jed has created a monster.  Jace turns on the water and starts shoving the hose in the ground because he is "chasing moles."

 

 

A new student at TMS!

 

Pizza Delivery!

 

Hard to believe that 3 is going to turn into 4, and then 5 kiddos in a couple of months!

 

Funny story:  Jed made a trip to Illinois to get some corn-head parts and stopped at Moline, IL on his way back.  That's the John Deere headquarters.  So they (my dad went with him) toured and looked at the equipment of course, and Jed sent some pictures.  Jace saw the first picture, and went and laid on the floor crying, "I wanted to go there too!"  Hmmm....vacation next summer?

 

Every day is game day in our house.  Nap time!  K-State blanket, pillow, jersey, and shorts.  And this was on a Sunday.  And yes, he did this all by himself.

 

Mom's new toy...that I won't be using for awhile...but with some supervision, Jace thinks it is fun!

 

This morning on our way to PreSchool.  It was the first day of "Show and Share."  He took "El Chubacabara" from the movie "Planes."  I asked him what he was going to tell the class about the plane and he said, "I'm going to tell them, Don't Break It!"

September is a BIG month in our house.

Jace starts Preschool!

At open house we could barely get him to take some time to pose with his teacher, Mrs. Stock.

 

 

The first day was FINALLY here!  Since he is now the oldest kid at the babysitters, he has been watching a lot of other kids go to school until it was his turn to start!

 

Me and my baby!  Okay, so he isn't a baby, but he is one of my two most-favorite-guys in the world!

 

Poor kid...had to duck his head to get out of the way of that belly!  37 weeks pregnant in this picture!

 

Since Christmas he has turned from Mommy's boy to Daddy's buddy...and he is super excited that Jed is taking him to school.

 

And he's off for his first day!

 

Follow the blue line to get to his room!  ("And Dad, I have to walk ON the blue line, but you don't.")

 

Hanging up his bag!  He was the first one there!  (And we all know that won't ever happen again!)

 

Ready to learn!

 

**When I asked him about his first day he said it was fun, but they had to color an apple, and "Mom, it was not easy."  When I asked him why, I finally got it out of him that it was hard because you had to color inside the apple and stay in the lines.  It is tough being 3 years old!

 

**In other news, September is supposed to be baby month...so we are anxiously waiting!  Jace thinks it's a boy, I think boy, Jed says girl....

At my doctor's appointment last week we found out baby was breech...has been head down for 9 months, and now it turns breech!  We went to the hospital Friday morning so the doctor could attempt an "External Cephalic Version" which basically means she was going to push and push and try to turn baby around...but we got there and baby had already switched back to being head down!  I remember feeling as though the baby pushed off with it's feet and flipped over to turn breech, and I had thought that it was moving so much it felt like it was moving sideways in a circle to turn back around....who knew it really did!  So, we have a few weeks until due date!

From the phone....in August

Complete randomness.

 

We. Love. Swinging.

Especially when someone gives us a push!

 

 

Looks like a full load!

 

Yep.  That's Jace running the forklift.  I walked into the warehouse to this scene.  Jed directed him which lever to push, and up he went!  And it's only the beginning....

 

During the Pioneer meeting...my two favorite guys!

 

Hillbilly Joe, ready for a ranger ride.

 

Ready for baby!  And for KSU football!

 

Our expert toad catcher....all of a sudden Jace wants to catch toads.  Too bad one of them pee'd on him after this photo...

 

Yep.  Here he is, wondering what just happened!

 

Poor Angus.  Jace can, and does do anything to him.  And for the most part he puts up with it!

 

This was our "so-long summer" swing time...the night before I had to go back to work.

 

Speaking of school...a little Duck Dynasty bulletin board.

 

And, back to school night.  Approximately one month from due date.  Yikes.

Happy Birthday, Colton!

Who turned 6 years old?

This guy.

 

 

And he is headed off to Kindergarten. 

 

And he is going to be the big brother to TWO sisters in December. 

 

What a cutie.

 

And Colton's birthday party isn't just to celebrate a birthday...

 

It's also used to practice your balancing skills and wrestle with Colton's Uncle Blaine!

 

A date with Mom

To some of Jace's favorite places! Fritz's the Train restaurant.

 

 

And the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead.

 

Rode this horse like a pro!  I was worried he would get out there and change his mind, but he loved it!

 

 

 

Want to see Jace at Deanna Rose last year?
