Big Lion ~ Little Lions

This year the boys are old enough to join the Brownwood tradition of "Big Lions ~ Little Lions". The younger boys are paired with a Varsity football player. We are on our way to the first pep rally to meet our Big Lion, Garret Kemp.Watching all of the festivities with the other Little Lions.Will, Garret and ThomasThomas was very brave and gave the Lion a high five ~ Will wasn't about to get anywhere near him!Love my Little Lions!After the game we went down on the field to congratulate Garret on helping the Lions win their first game of the season!

Garret gave the boys this cool yard sign so everyone will know we support the Lions!

Thomas Goes to Kindergarten

Thomas started Kindergarten today and for probably the first time ever he was happy to pose for pictures . Maybe he was just trying to put off actually going to school!Sweet boys with their best fake smiles.Will isn't too thrilled about losing his partner in crime! These guys are going to miss each other!Dad leading Thomas through the cafeteria. One last picture with Dad and Mom before heading into the classroom.

Thomas's cubby!

Is it just me or does Thomas look really small at this big table!

Thomas and his teacher Mrs. Stewart ~ she is great and Thomas really likes her!

I snapped a few last pictures on the way out the door. Thomas had a great first day of school and I'm so proud of him!

Cat Pack

It's hard to believe, but Thomas will be starting Kindergarten this Fall! ACU sends a backpack to children of Alumni the summer before they start school. Thomas was excited to get his "Cat Pack" in the mail.



Will was right there to help his brother open his package.Yea! He will be the coolest Cat in Kindergarten!

Visiting the Pig Barn

While we were in Ralls Hannah, Grace and Caleb took the boys down to the pig barn to feed the pigs. The boys had fun but said it was really stinky!Will and Hannah
Hannah and ThomasHannah let Thomas help her feed and pet the pigs. He thought that was pretty cool!

Grace and Will
Hannah and Grace both had a good grip on Will so he didn't fall again!

Playground Rash

The boys and I were in Ralls visiting my friend Macy and her family. It was really nice because Hannah is old enough to drive so she took all the kids out for ice cream and then to play on the playgrounds in town. When they got home Grace casually announced that Will fell and his face was bleeding and scratched up! Hannah carried him in and this is what he looked like:
Yeah, I guess you could say that! I wasn't sure if the boo boo on his eyebrow was a deep cut or just dried blood from a smaller cut. He wouldn't let me clean it up to find out, though.

At bath time Will still wouldn't let me get near his eye but he was more than willing to let Macy clean up his face. The "after" picture looks much better:
Luckily it wasn't a bad cut, just a little one above his eyebrow that probably won't even leave a scar!
