The Artist

Well, my daughter is just about the busiest body anyone will ever meet. She is absolutely constant motion and will wear you out just watching her. Will she sit down and watch t.v.? Absolutely not!! It requires her to be WAY too still. BUT, the one thing I have found that will keep her bottom in a chair- drawing! Maybe we have an artist on our hands. She sat in this chair for at least 20 minutes and drew pictures for me one night while I was cooking. I was so shocked I had to capture it.

Halloween

We had such a fun halloween night with great friends! We started the night at the Downing's house, went trick or treating, and ended the night at the Downing's house with our tradition of a delicious bowl of chili! The Simpson's were dressed as a Star Wars Clone trooper and a baby bunny!

My Junior Kindergartener

It is hard to believe that #1 son is in junior kindergarten! Wow! How the time goes by so fast. He is learning so much. Here is a small list of some of the wonderful things they are doing and learning!

*memorizing scripture

*writing the alphabet and learning the sounds of each letter

*learning to write his name

*the importance of community helpers

*shapes

*colors

*Creation

I love hearing him retell the Bible stories he has learned. It is amazing how children at this age are just little sponges. He knows so many incredible details. Praise God! Here is a picture of my precious child in his school uniform!

Football season

I enjoyed every moment of our mother/daughter afternoon.

The boys had a great father/son day at the football game.

Of course we love being right down the road from Oxford and Ole Miss. We took both the kids to one football game, and last weekend, the boys went to the Ole Miss vs. Arkansas game. While they enjoyed the game, Maggie and I enjoyed a mother/daughter day around Oxford. I had a great time getting her to pose for the camera with her big, blue eyes and precious smile.

Family Dance Party

We LOVE, LOVE, family dance parties in the Simpson house! We cut the music on and everybody dances, dances, dances! Well, this was just a priceless picture. MCS absolutely adores her daddy. At this point in our life, she wants Daddy to do EVERYTHING! These are the kind of pictures that I will be showing at her rehearsal dinner one day. She had the biggest smile on her face and so did Daddy. I know first hand how precious a daddy/daughter relationship can be. It is my prayer for my sweet daughter that she will have the same kind of relationship with her Daddy that I have with mine. I think they are well on their way.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a blast with our cousins over the Labor Day weekend. Everyone wore their Ole Miss attire the day we played University of Memphis. The weekend consisted of lots of football, boat rides, four wheeler rides and much more!

The cookout at the twins' (Jack and Katie) house was so much fun. I am not sure who had more fun though- the parents or the kids?!! Watching Jack with Maggie is the cutest thing in the world. He always wants her right by his side. Everyone had a blast riding around in the Jeep.
