Wade's New Toys

Wade-o got some new toys yesterday. He got an ambulance and police truck that have sirens and make lots of noise. He is loving his new toys!! He has started to really love cars of all kinds. He has a truck and ambulance at his school that are ONLY HIS while he is there. I think it is so cute to watch him play with his cars. Such a little boy thing. Luke was never really interested in cars so this is new for us. Luke's tractors and fire truck are finally getting some much overdue love!!

So sweet....

I even got a smile for the camera!!

Wade is really changing. He is becoming more a little boy than a baby. He is talking a lot more. He really enjoys his school. He wears superhero pjs to bed. I just have to say all super-heros should be red-headed two year olds because they would be SO.DARN.CUTE!!!

Rachel and Luke Get Baptized!!!

Rachel and Luke have made the most important decision of their lives!!! They have accepted Jesus as their Savior and were baptized last night as their public declaration of faith!! Their Momma and Daddy are so proud of them!!

They got to be baptized together!! This was very special to me. I am so glad they let them go together. Luke has a huge fear of crowds and being the center of attention. I was really wondering how he would do. He did great!! He did not hesitate at all!! God gives you courage when you need it most! I knew Rachel would have no problem at all. She is a natural in front of a crowd. I wish I had her confidence! At our church your family and friends get to crowd around you and watch from up close. This makes it a little more personal and you don't realize there are 500+ people watching you!

Officially been baptized!! They wore those smiles all night!!

This was their cheering section. We were so happy everybody came to share this special time with us!!

RAIN Day!!!

There is no school today because of RAIN!!! Have you ever heard of such? The rain is very welcome, so I hope it stays all day!!  Kate decided to go jump in a few puddles while the rain died down for a bit.

Love the ponytail!!

Our part of town really is not flooded so bad, but the down town area and east of us is really bad. Midland floods really quickly with just a little rain. It had rained 2 1/2 inches this morning and they expected more to come today. We are just going to enjoy or RAIN Day. It may never happen again!!

New Favorite Pictures of Wade

I just love this little boy's smile and laugh!!! He is smiling and laughing most of the time when things are going his way. I was so excited when I actually caught one of those smiles on camera. Usually when the camera comes out he refuses to smile or look at the camera. 

He did not just give me one good smile but lots of them. Running down the little hills at the football game this past weekend made him very happy! In these pictures his hair looks like a torch!

Well yesterday Wade got a hair cut. Now he doesn't look like the little boy in the pictures. His last haircut was a disaster with lots of tears, so we have been putting off giving him another.  This time around there were no tears and he did great!! He ate candy, suckers, and cheese balls until she finished. I like the results!! The curls are still there just shorter.

Fall Soccer

Yay!! Soccer finally started!! We have been practicing since August, but Saturday was our first games, we had two. 

Before...

After... Just look at that ball!

Kate even enjoys the soccer games and practices because of all her soccer sister friends. She is more excited to go than Luke I think.

Fancy foot work.

 This is Luke's buddy since Preschool. They met when they were two and were best friends until Kindergarten. We were so excited they ended up on the same soccer team this time!!

Memaw Linda and Granddad Bob came to cheer Luke on during the second game. They even got to see him make a goal!

We had two soccer games and a football game to cheer for on Saturday. That is a full day!! That is how it is going to be for the next several weeks for us.

Varsity Colts Cheer

This Saturday we kicked off the football season for the Varsity Colts!! Rachel has cheered for the Colts since third grade. This will be her last year as Colts Cheerleader. :0( But from the looks of it Kate will follow in her sister's foot steps in a couple of years.

Right before the game started.

And the game begins.

Most of these girls have been with the squad since it started. They have really grown up in the past few years.

The little cheerleaders watching their sisters cheer.

I don't know how many times I told Kate to get off the fence. She just wants to go cheer with the big girls.

Wade was released from the stroller for a little while. He did really good at the game. Mama was relieved.

Wade could have a little girl friend if he wanted one, but he wants no part of it. He thinks she just wants his toys. She was so sweet to him. She would try to hold his hand and play with him. Maybe he will come around next time.

Fun stunt picture!!

My Cheerleader!! Go Colts!!!
