Eating Good In The Neighborhood!

Saturday was a full, but Fun day! It started with Praise & Worship practice at church that morning. Then that afternoon I headed to SAFB Hagar Holiday at the MPEC with my Mom and Aunt  Debbie!

Sadly I didn't take any pictures!! Boo!! Guess I was so busy checking everything out! ha!

That night Daniel's parents, my sweet FIL & MIL asked us out to eat!!

Daniel and I  LOVE to go out and eat, so we were really looking forward to the dinner and catching up!! :) 

Here's Caleb outside Applebee's, knocking on the window and talking to Pappy &Granny! ha!

We kept telling him lets go inside and talk to them!! :)

 It was a great dinner! Wonderful time with family and a yummy meal!! :)

The waiter was even nice enough to ask if we wanted him to take a group picture!! Yes sir!! :)

Happy Tuesday!! Turkey Day is almost here!!

Family Fun Night

Friday Night was Family Fun Night at Caleb's school!!!

 So we all loaded up and headed out!! For our 3rd FFN!! 

Heading Inside!! 

The Family Fun night is a fundraiser for the school put on by the PTA. Since I am a room mom this year we helped set up a game. Big brother Caleb helped me this year!! Thanks to Daddy for helping me the past 2 years! :)
You buy tickets when you walk in and then head from class to class for games and prizes. 
Here's a ball toss game!! Look at them go!! 

Then it was time to go fishing for candy and toys! 

Chloe wasn't so sure at first, but thought it was cool when she saw you got a PRIZE!!! ha!! That's my girl! 

 Here's the game we set up!!! Oh F.Y.I. that board is HEAVY!!! Thanks to one of the other SWEET mommy's for helping me carry it!! 
It maybe heavy but it's also a HIT game!! :)

Chloe LOVED the duck game!!! They had candy and  little ducks for the prize, so naturally whenever the lady handed Chloe a duck, she THREW it in the water!! ha!! 
Smart girl if you ask me, I mean all the other ducks are in there!! :) ha!! 

Caleb was soooooo sweet helping her!! He was like she can have my ticket. He didn't even play just waited in line to let her!! Precious! 

A little later though my sweet angel had a sleepy meltdown to put it nicely! ha! So wonderful Daniel took her to the car while Caleb and I hit up the last of the games!! 

He was on a role too!!! Winning all kinds of treats!! He was even picking out stuff Chloe could have! 

 Caleb and Mrs. Robinson!!! His teacher from last year!! :) (1st grade)

He really has been blessed with wonderful teachers!! All 3 of them so far have been AWESOME!!

At the end Caleb got some popcorn, and stopped by to see the clown that makes animal balloons!!! 
Big brother also got one for Chloe!! 
A yellow weenie dog for him and a purple poodle for her! 
Think my kids want a dog??!?!?! 
ha!! 
Well... now they have 2!! :)

Even with a Crying & Sleepy Princess, Family Fun night was worth it!! :) 

Every good and perfect gift is from above!

Happy Monday!!

School Family Thanksgiving Dinner w/Caleb

 Caleb's school recently had it's Annual Family Thanksgiving Lunch! :)

 So we all headed up there to eat with Caleb!!! Only this year we brought Subway! 
     Hey, at least it was turkey sandwiches!! Ha!!

My two babies enjoying lunch!! 

 It's always fun heading up to the school to eat! 

Hearing about Caleb's day,

                                and even meeting all his friends! 

       Yes, even the girls who walk by and say
                         "Hey Caleb!" ha! :)

Thank goodness for i phones, so it's not "embarrassing" to take pictures! ha! 
Gotta love technology. Looks like we're texting but we're really snapping away! ha!! 

After lunch we headed back down to Caleb's class to wait for his teacher and the other students!

Take a close look at the flag. The white "lines" are made out of the kids hands!! One of the hands on the top row is Caleb's. :)

 Chloe had the best time! I know she's already excited about her first day!! Not so sure about Mommy though! ha! :)

I'm so Thankful for family days at school!! We're so blessed! :)

Caleb's Parent/Teacher Conference

We recently had our annual Parent/Teacher conference with Caleb's teacher, and she gave us such a good report!!! GO Caleb!! :)
She said he is doing so good, even above average in some areas, including math!! 
She also talked about how sweet and fun his personality is! He is our little Mr.Outgoing! 
One thing she said that I want to always remember is that "It's like he is always running for Mayor!" :)  ha! So Caleb! 
She honestly had NOTHING bad to say which is such a blessing! :)


As we were leaving we saw his class in the library! 

It was "Hats off To Drugs Day" at school so he was in his Dallas Cowboys hat! :) He looks so serious here! Must of been a good book! :)

 Miss Chloe went along for the meeting too!! :) Here she is in Daddy's "VISITOR" badge! ha! 

Won't be too long before we will be going to HER Teacher/Parent Conferences! Whoa!! But I am NOT rushing it!! :) My kids are growing up too fast!! 

Can you believe Chloe will be 2 years old in less than 2 weeks!!! 

Here she is just last year on her 1st birthday!! She is getting so big!! 

Have a Great Day!! 
Blessings & Love, Ashley 

Miss Itsy Bitsy

One way you can put a smile on this little girl's face, is to let her play Itsy Bitsy Spider on the iPhone!! She LOVES it!!!

It's an interactive game that you have to touch and poke things to make the spider move. It's super cute and educational!

The spider is even named Chloe!! ha!! Maybe that's why she likes it so much!! :)

But this Pretty Girl also LOVES music!! So when Elmo started singing even Itsy Bitsy was put on hold! :)

Dancing with Itsy & Elmo!! ha!!!
