Foster's First day of Preschool

 

Foster is going to preschool this year for 2 days a week.  He is going on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 to 1.  He is loving every minute of it.  He was definitely ready to start preschool.  He has some of the sweetest teachers, Mrs. Debbie and Mrs. Alyson.  They are precious and he talks about them all the time. We are excited for a fun year! Yes, his hair is slick back but it doesn't stay that way long...it is such a mess when he wakes up.  It looks much better when it dries.  And yes, he does have gum in his mouth.  Oh well!

 

 

Visiting with Aunt Julie and Aunt Kim on our way home from VA

 

On our way home we stopped at Aunt Julie's house.  She had a nice lunch prepared for us.  Aunt Kim and Mckenzie were also there.  We really got to see a lot of family and enjoyed every second of it!  Eric's cousins Heather and her little girl Addison, Megan (her little boy Tyler), and Thomas were also there.  We only left because we had to get home.  If not we would have stayed there longer just visiting.  We are very close to all his family!  On our way to Aunt Julie's house we stopped at a Cavern.  The boys really enjoy doing the cavern's when we are in Virginia.  They think they are so cool.  Over all we had an excellent trip!  We can't wait to go back next year!!

 

 

Not sure why this picture is so big!  It wouldn't let me change it but its cute anyways!

Our weekend in Virginia

This is our home away from home in Virginia- at Aunt Jenny's and Uncle Mike's house.  We stay with them once a year and love every second of it.  Our family loves going to Virginia and spending time with Eric's family.  We always stay at Aunt Jenny's house and we feel so welcome there.  My kids walk in and feel like they own the place.  It is such a nice break from life when we go there.  It is one of my most favorite places to go.  I could move here in a minute and my boys would too.  As you will see from the pictures below why we love it so much!  Thank you Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike for always welcoming us with open arms!  We love yall!!!

 

 

Their backyard...so peaceful and beautiful!

 

It rained and their creek was flowing and this is what the kids decide to do....So much fun!! Oh of course Lindsey's gang comes over and always hangs out with us!  They have 4 kids with another on the way.  Their boys are my same boys ages.  My boys love their second cousins!!

UVA vs BYU at UVA

We meet Eric's friend from College Chris and his family at UVA to cheer on the Cavaliers!  It was such a fun, hot, wet day at UVA.  We did make the most of it.  We had a picnic on campus and went on to the game!  We also got to hang out with their other roommate from college, Vu.  He came and had lunch with us.  It was great seeing him.  Eric's uncle Matt has a brother who is the Mascot for UVA.  We were able to meet up with them before the game and get the boys picture made with the horse.  They loved that!  His uncle also gave the boys new UVA shirts to wear!  We really enjoyed spending time with Chris, Elizabeth, and their precious kids, Tommy and Olive.  They live in D.C. and we wish we could see them more often.  It was a great day!  The game was delayed after the first quarter due to lightening and so we had to wait out under the concourse for right at 2 hours.  We decided to go ahead and leave because the kids were definitely getting a little crazy.  We were staying in Virginia for the weekend anyways to visit Eric's family!  Such a great day at the beautiful UVA campus!

Foster's Preschool Open House

 

Foster is starting Preschool this year and this was at his open house celebration.  He had such a great time and Loved meeting his teachers!

 

Weekend at Pop and Gran Jan's

We wanted to go to Mom and Dad's one last weekend to go on the lake before it got too cold.  We had a wonderful time even though the weather was much cooler this weekend than expected!  Of course the water wasn't too cold for the boys!  We all still had fun and as always I love being back "home" at my mom and dads!
