Colbie 11 Months

I've been putting off this post because I cannot believe Colbie is approaching ONE!!  Where did the year go?  She is taking about five steps now and she will be walking before I know it (pretty excited so she can wear all the cute dresses that make her scream when she crawls).  This picture pretty much sums her up.

Friday Night Football

Every Friday night Don takes Cadynce and Donnie to a football game.  They wear their same football jersey each week.  They love their time with Daddy and I enjoy a quiet house.




















We went for a hike on Saturday morning to the lookout tower.  Cadynce and Donnie had a blast.  When we got to the bottom they asked if we could hike the trail again.

Cadynce's First Day

Cadynce is attending the 5 year old preschool at our church.  I have heard such great things about this school, and I like that it's still only three days a week.  She was really excited and unsure about her first day of school, but she was all smiles when she talked about her day.  (Daddy is out of town with work so that's why he's not in a picture).

Papa and Namah Visit

Papa and Namah came out for Labor Day weekend.  We kept pretty busy with a football game, a baseball game, shopping and Donnie's first day of school.  View Album for more pictures.

Donnie's First day of School

It's Donnie's turn to go to school this year.  He was so excited to have his own tote and own name tag.  All the things he watched Cadynce do for two years...and now it's his turn.  We took some pictures before school and he was dancing on the picnic table with excitement.  I am so excited to see school through his eyes this year.

Summer Family Pictures

The photography from Jill's wedding also took our family pictures while we were in town.  She got so many great pictures of us.  View Album for more pictures.

Birthday Boy

Don took the day off work so we could spend the whole day together on his birthday.  We had a great day, and had our babysitter come over so we could spend the evening out together.  Happy Birthday !

Colbie 10 Months

Colbie is 10 months old and constantly moving.  She is cruising the furniture and letting go for a few seconds.  It's cute watching Donnie and Cadynce get excited when they see her let go.  This was the most challenging monthly picture to take.  She just wouldn't sit still!

Summer in Indiana

We headed back to Indiana a little later in the summer than we usually go because Aunt Jill was getting married.  The wedding was beautiful and completely Jill!  The best part for me was watching Cadynce and Donnie.  I was holding back tears as I watched them walk down the aisle (until Donnie started picking his nose).  My other favorite moment was watching Cadynce and Donnie (sitting in the front row) singing along with the girl Jill had sing in their wedding.  They heard it for the first time at the rehearsal...my heart melted.  The reception had great food and fun.  The kids entertained us all as they danced while we ate dinner.  Again, I just enjoyed watching Cadynce and Donnie have the time of their lives.

We spent the rest of our time just hanging out.  We had a great visit.  View Album for more pictures.
