August...

August was a month filled with lots of swimming, birthday parties and playing outside!  Words do not describe how happy it makes me to see my babies having fun and I was blessed with lots of those moments this month!

Here is a recap in pictures...
 

Lots of dress up goes on each day!  Some days are just too hot to be outside so I'm thankful the kids can entertain themselves this way! (And it's really, really cute!)

Emma L-O-V-E-S her crib and her sleep.  She sleeps 12 hours at night and 2-3 hours every afternoon.  I am THANKFUL!!!!

A man with a chainsaw - now this is a sight I like to see!  Our backyard is still a huge work in progress but we are slowly trying to chip away at the projects.

Sweet Abby started Kindergarten this year.  I cannot believe she is old enough to start school!

Watson is so very reserved and cautious so any kind of 'risk taking' requires lots of encouragement from me and Graham.  Once he tries it he almost always loves whatever it may be.  In this case it was a water slide at a birthday party.  We were so proud of him for trying it - then we couldn't get him off of it without tears when it was time to go home!

Meanwhile, this one will try anything at anytime!  But, if there is a swing around, I can promise you she will find her way to it!

The paci...or as Emma calls it, her "papi"...will we EVER get rid of it?  I keep saying we are going to but she loves it so much and honestly I do too... One day we will drop it!

Graham had a meeting in Tuscaloosa one afternoon so the kids and I tagged along.  We found a little outdoor area to play while Daddy was in his meeting.  It was a cute area...until I realized we were playing outside of the County Jail.  Oops!

Pure excitement to ride in the car out of his carseat!  Don't worry - we were in a parking lot and literally went about 100 yards.  It was a blast for the kids though :) 

This girl is a ball of sass and personality.  She is constantly keeping us laughing...and on our toes...

She also loves the camera.  Watson does not.  Can you tell by the number of pics I have of each of them?!

Watch out roads - Watson is behind the wheel!

Diva.

I can hardly pass a park without the kids begging to stop.  They don't always win, but if we have time I usually give it.  Such was the case this day :)
