August Pics Part 3

Jacen loves using markers.  On a good day it is on a white board and not our floor, table or computer!!!!

Jacen, Camden, and Hudson drawing on the board in the courtyard :)

Laying on the floor at home :)

While taking a wagon ride one evening, we stopped to see the horses.  This is as close as he would get!!!

I have started back to work at Smylie Wilson Middle school teaching Math again.  I am so blessed to be able to return to my same school, teaching math, with all my wonderful coworkers.  We chose to send Jacen to two different PDOs (one where we go to church and the other where our friend Courtney is the director) and a friend is keeping him on Fridays.  

Jacen had his first day of PDO (Sandbox) on Wednesday, August 24th.  Of course the crazy mommy that I am we had to take pics :)   We took pics on the way out and when we arrived there.  Jacen was exited about his napmat and backpack :)

Daddy and Jacen about to walk in.

Mommy hugging Jacen.  He was ready to go play :)

Jacen thinking 'why are we still taking pics?' :)

This Thursday, we went to Monterey for Sugar N Spice open house to meet his teacher at his other PDO.  He seemed to love his room and teacher Terra.  We are excited about PDO!!!!

We find Jacen in random places :)

He still loves his train table!!!  We had some Jacen and Mommy time this afternoon :)

Jacen loves Veggie Tales!!!

We went to Science Spectrum one more time before I started working again.  We had a great time with Elizabeth and Briley!!!

We visited the new part where they have new items about flight.  Jacen is leaning into a fan that was blowing air on him.  He loved!!!

Jacen enjoys "bowling" with his hands.  It is a game to knock them over while Mommy tries to set them up :)

Drawing on a dry erase board.  He was very focused!!!

You have to erase afterwards :)

Now with the left hand.

He loves to water the tree!!!

And take drinks :)

He even waters the leaves :)

Daddy and Jacen traveled to San Angelo for a special friend's Dad's funeral.  While there, he got to visit with the Hutchinsons.  This pic is of Jacen holding Helen, Mark's baby.  He loved playing with Carley too.

Finally, Jacen loves our cell phones!!!
