christmas in arkansas 2014

This past weekend my whole family met at my parent's house to celebrate Christmas!

The whole gang

H was excited to open Christmas presents.

Abs was too.

My sweet Dad took the kids on a hay ride!

It's always fun to be with the whole crew!!  

Merry Christmas from the White family!

thanksgiving 2014

We are at the end of Thanksgiving week!  The kids were off all week and we spent Mon, Tues and Wed busy with playdates and fun with friends.  Thursday we woke up and did the Turkey Trot 5k in our neighborhood.  It was a great way to start the day!!

They had it rough.  

We got home from the race and started frying the turkey.

For the second time we had sweet friends join us and 

it was great afternoon of eating, playing and watching the Cowboys.

On Friday Bo and I took the kids to the zoo.  

It was a gorgeous day for it and it was empty.  

Saturday we met up with our Baylor gang and had a blast

at the Baylor/Tech game.  It was a close one but we won.

It was a fun week and breaking the routine was really nice!    Happy Thanksgiving!!

family pics 2014

We had family pics a few weeks ago and I love them!  Here are a few of my 

favorites minus a couple I am using on my Christmas card.

After a few shots, Hunter screamed "funny face pic" and we all participated.

happy halloween 2014

october

October is already about over and I am not sure how that happened exactly.  We have been busy and time just seems to keep moving quickly.   Abby had Boosterthon at her school and Hunter enjoyed it more than she did.  He was the certified hi-fiver of the morning.

The weather is finally cooling off and we love that!   

Lots of play time outside after school.

Pumpkin patches with friends are always the best.

Bo and I managed to get away one Sat for a Baylor game.

This past weekend we celebrated Abby's bday at Great Wolf Lodge.

Lots of fun things going on right now!!  We love fall!

Woo Pig Sooie!!!

The Southwest Classic at Cowboy Stadium has become a tradition for my family.  

Arkansas vs. Texas A&M

This is Sept. 2009

Sept. 2010 - I was pregnant with Hunter

Sept 2011

The Aggies decided to join the SEC so they played home games for two years.

Then in 2014....

They played back in Dallas and the family was reunited!

WPS!!

Such a FUN weekend. The game was a heartbreaker...literally but I am so proud of my Hogs.

Looking forward to it again in 2015!!!

middle of Sept?

How is it the middle of Sept already?  School started and all of the kid's after school activities began and weekends are full.  Labor Day was a blast with many friends, Arkansas games have been fun to watch this year, Grandparent's Day was last week and Hunter finally got to putt on the green since Papa was in town.  You would have thought he won a million dollars.  Seriously, it's the happiest I have ever seen the boy.  A picture of the Bain boys before a round of golf.  

Grandparent's Day at school.

While the boys golfed, the girls headed to the AG store.

And the BIGGEST news of Sept is that 

my big girl turned SEVEN this week!  

We literally celebrated all week.  

I am ready for some cooler weather but I think fall is headed our way.  I love it!

Happy almost fall!

preschool 2014

This little man started preschool today and was so excited!  He walked right in and started putting his backpack and lunch away like he knew what he was doing.  He only said goodbye to me because I made him.  He loved his day and is ready for another day tomorrow!  

first day of FIRST GRADE

Today is the DAY!!  Abby started first grade and there were no tears.  She came down extra early and told me she was nervous.  We talked about that it's ok to be nervous and that I was too.

We took a few pics and loaded up the car.  On the way there she said, "Mom, 

my eyes are watering...I am not crying."

She was all smiles this morning. No tears at all!

Abby and this sweet friend have been in the same class for the last two years.

So happy that they are together again.

Looking forward to a great first grade year!!
