I love these kids of mine

 Kaia & Sienna's softball team

Last Game

 Dusky stayed home with all of the kids and I flew out to Utah for a girls weekend.  It was a blast, like always.  I love my friends.  It's always a good time with these lovely ladies.  We went shopping, hung out at the condo, painted nails, etc.

 And we got to celebrate Stacie's Bday

 I sure missed these little kids though

 It's still so nice outside.  The kids have been out there everyday.  I love our backyard so much.  Dusky did an awesome job!

 Movie Night

 The best birthday presents EVER!  (Plus, Dusky got me an iPad mini)

 Sienna and Kaia both had Thanksgiving parties at their school.  Sienna's class dressed up and sand songs for us.

 Sienna's best buddies

(Brooke, Sienna, Marissa, Jada)

 We had Thanksgiving at mom's house this year.  Darren and Tricia and the fam came out.  I found out I was pregnant with #5 the day before Thanksgiving.  We are super excited!

 We carried on our yearly tradition of going to Callaway Gardens.

 These lucky kids got to have a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's.  They love to make beds and sleep on the floor in Grandma and Grandpa's room.

Kaia's 7th Birthday

It kills me how fast my babies are growing up.  Kaia is such a big girl this year.  She is so smart.  She is doing awesome in school.  She's reading on a 3rd grade level.  She's gone through all of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade sight words already.  She's in the gifted (REACH) program at school.  She's doing piano lessons with Mrs. Walker and running club after school on thursdays.  Her and Sienna are so competitive with each other.  It's funny to watch.  Kaia gets stressed about it because Sienna is so fast.  The whole day before running club I hear her mumbling things to herself like "She's just so fast!"

Her favorite friends this year are Gabby, Riley, and Abigail.

She LOVES art.  She's been taking an art class 2 wednesdays a month after school.  She really wanted to have an art party, so we made some little art invitation and she had TONS of people show up.  We got a bounce house (of course) I had 2 huge tables set up with art supplies, and the kids just ran around like crazy people.

 She also got a bday party when we were in Utah for the deer hunt.  She always lucks out and gets a double birthday bash.  Grandma and Grandpa Goulding made her a cake and her cousins came over to celebrate.
