Pregnacy #4

Okay, the only reason I am posting this picture is because I promised Steph that if she did then I would and she held up her end of the bargain...plus my mom has been begging, so here you go! Keep in mind I am having this baby in one week from today.

Ellie turns 4!

Ellie turned 4 September 24th and had been wanting to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday for over 6 months, so thats what we did. She was able to celebrate her birthday at school earlier in the day and then we picked Dad up from work and headed to Chuck E. Cheese. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean this one was and the pizza was not that bad either (I think they changed it). Here she is with the remote control car that Grandpa and Grandma Gladwell gave her.

Just enjoying a little stroll on the Merry Go Round.
Here she is blowing out her candles. She wanted a white cake with pink frosting and it looked okay before we got there and then Mya stepped on it (on accident). Thankfully it had seran wrap on it and was able to still be eaten.

Daddy getting in on the fun.
After playing all of our tokens and picking out their fun prizes, we headed home and waiting there was a big package from the Shaws, Grandma Mick and Grandpa George so she got to open even more presents. She was super excited.
Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful gifts you sent. She loved all of them!

Ellie's first day of Pre-K

Ellie started Pre-K this year. She goes from 8:30 in the morning until 1:45 in the afternoon. She eats lunch at school and everything. She absolutely loves it and is doing very very well. I cannot believe how much Miss Randi and Mr. Kevin have already taught her. They told me the other day that she just smiles all day long. Here she is on her first day.

Here she is putting her backpack on her hook.

We found her spot on her table and left shortly after because I was getting a little emotional about all of it.
We just love this little girl!!

Hopes first day of school.

It was Hopes first day of school today. She is going into 3rd grade and her teacher is Ms. Estes. Tweeb and I cannot believe that she is old enough to be in 3rd grade. She is growing up sooo fast. She wanted her hair curly this morning and I think she looked so cute. Here she is outside right before we took her to school. School started at 8:35 but the doors opened at 8:15. There was a HUGE line but the PTO was serving juice and donut holes to everyone while they waited. Here is Hopey waiting to go in.

We were able to take Hope to her classroom. Her teacher seems super nice, so we are all excited about the upcoming year. Here she is at her new desk. It was a full day today and I miss her being home already!

Mammoth Caves

We went to Mammoth Caves in Kentucky as an end of the summer outing a couple weekends ago. It was just a day trip but it was quite fun. When we got there we went and got our tickets for our tour and then went on a picnic. While we were eating two deer came right up to us. They were about 6 feet away was all. It was pretty funny because as soon as we saw the first one we also heard the van door close (Hope decided that they were a little to close for her liking).
After our picnic we went and got in line for our tour. We were going to see one of the biggest caves there. The Mammoth Caves are actually the largest cave system in the world...I believe there are around 367 miles of caves that have been explored so far.

The cave was HUGE and really cool. The girls loved it and did such a good job hiking. Mya was such a trooper, it was all up hill to get back and she INSISTED upon walking. She also had to stop at every light and pretend to scan her ticket. Here the family is after the 2 hour tour.
