visitors

we have had company for about a week and a half, so there has not been much time to blog or take pictures. oma came in for about a week due to hurricane ike and i only took one photo. paw paw also came in for a visit just for fun. with the grandparents in, i finally had time to get a hair cut, have a pedicure and a golf date with colin. we were all sad to see oma and paw paw head home. before paw paw left, we got a picture or two in the front yard.

my big girl

reese has been asking to get her ears pierced for a while now. since the day was a bit rainy and boring, i thought it would be the perfect day. here is a pic of the support group that took her to the mall (minus me).

she was so brave and we were all proud of her. afterwards i treated her to a great american cookie and a free chick-fil-a sample nugget!

safety patrol

my sweet 9 year old made the safety patrol at her school. in order to do this you have to be recommended by a teacher, maintain a 'B' average in classes and have an 'E' in conduct. mackenzie says it is quite an honor to work with coach davis! here she is on patrol!

clapping and kissing

these two videos (less than 20 seconds each) are of jackson clapping (he spreads his arms out all the way) and of him kissing reese. he loves to give sugars...especially to his sisters!
