September Pics Part 1

It has been a busy few weeks, so I haven't had time to do a blog update.  So get ready for lots of pics!!!!

Jacen playing with Ethan at church.  They entertained themselves for 30 minutes at church before a Wednesday night service going in and out the auditorium doors :)

On our walks in the neighborhood there are these miniature horses.  Jacen wouldn't get anywhere near them for a while, but now he will pet them :)

Finally getting some down time to play with his toys!!!

Jacen giving Mommy "sugars" in the fort :)

LABOR DAY

We spent the day just the three of us.  We went to get donuts at Krispy Kreme.

Then we spent the rest of the morning at Science Spectrum.

The ball floating in the air :)

JACEN'S FIRST DAY AT SUGAR N SPICE

We took pics dropping him off at the courtyard at church for extended care.  He had a great first few weeks.

Mom came in last weekend and we went to the Beth Moore conference.  It was wonderful!!!!  We enjoyed the experience with the praise team and the wonderful message.

Jacen got to spend the morning at church where Daddy was doing the technology for a Girl Scout conference.  He entertained himself very well watching movies on the computer and playing with his toys.

Wagon ride with Grandma before she went home.  He loved it!!!!

When we got to the horses, one of the owners was there and let Jacen get in the pen with the horses.  He wasn't sure what to think about that.  But the whole way back to the house, he wanted to get back in with the horses!!!

An unplanned sprinkler time.  He loved it!!!!

He figured out that he could pick up the sprinkler and control where the water went :)

Daddy and Jacen watching Toy Story :)

Jacen playing at Chick-fil-a with Mommy before she spent the evening at Open House at school.

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!!!

August Pics Part 2

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

Jacen loves the roller coaster again!!

Briley and Jacen watching the trains!!!

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!!!

Briley and Jacen in the cockpit!!

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!!!
