Grandparent's Day Celebration

Krispy Kreme Field Trip!

Ana's Pre-K class went on a field trip this week to Krispy Kreme! Sweets for a sweetie!

Yummy....donuts....everywhere! Learning how they make all the different donuts.

She even got to make her very own!

Excellent Job...LOTS of sprinkles!

How sweet it is!

Knouf Visit!

My Uncle Tommy and Aunt Judi came to San Antonio for a quick visit from Virginia Beach. Tommy and Ana having breakfast.

Marc gave the a T-6 sim ride!

Both did an excellent job flying the plane.

HOT HOT HOT

Tommy and Judi got married in the SAME church we did 34 years ago!

What Do You Do When a Hurricane Comes Your Way?

I Think His Tractor is Sexy-HA!

We have a great big fun yard...but after 6 months of Marc mowing the yard with a push mower he was ready for a riding mower. :) The heat had been horrible and it took him a good 4 hours to push mow the yard...taking away so much family time on the weekends! Some great friends of ours gave us a great deal on this snazy mower. HOWEVER, it took 3 weeks to get it up and running properly. BUT (drum roll please)...it is working great and it only took him ONE HOUR to do the yard!

Concerts!

There is a FABULOUS Military Apprication Concert program here! Every month or so the base gives away free tickets to great concerts. San Antonio is a wonderful military town who takes great care of us!

My friend Angela and I went to Martina McBride together...left the daddy's at home to take care of the kiddos! :)

Last week we went to a Tim McGraw concert at Fort Sam Houston (the army post). SO fun! No, Faith didn't show up... :)

Funny story...Tim was talking on stage and the military guys were throwing their name tags up to him and he was thanking them for all they do and then all of a sudden someone gave him a prosthetic hand and he says, "What the hell?" kinda freaked out like. Then it clicked and he said, "WOW, thank you for your sacrifice" then he signed it and gave it back!

Biker Babe

FINALLY...we got a bike for her! This was her "having a great first week of school" present! She wanted the purple princess bike, of course. She has a "bike rodeo" at school 19 Sept. and the Pre-K kids are leading the parade so it was time. :) She was pretty cautious, which I was really surprised about. Normally she has NO fear!

The "braking" concept took awhile to get. She kept putting her feet down instead of keeping them on the pedals and pushing back. BUT she got it! :)

I don't think the training wheels will be coming off anytime soon...but she's got the basic concept now! It's still too hot to be out too long during the day and by the time it cools off at night, it's bedtime. She is still pretty cautious which, is fine because I have a feeling before long she will be flying down the streets! :)

Faster, Faster!

Ana's first time tubbing! She was CRAZY! We were at my aunt and uncles lake house last weekend and had a very relaxing (besides the tubbing) times. Everything started off smooth and calm... Then I'm watching and Ana has HUGE smiles and Marc seems stressed...
Finally, We pull them in and Ana is ALL smiles and Marc just kept saying she had a great time but gave me "the eyes" that he was sweatin it!

She got on the boat and said she wanted to do it again...faster!
