September Miscellaneous

A few odds and ends from September. We had a GREAT month! So ready for fall :)

One of her favorite things to do is visit the library and color pictures. She also loves when the librarian hangs it on display!

She enjoys dressing herself. Her style is funny....some day's it's gym shorts and a shirt, other days it's jeans, a shirt, a jacket, a necklace, a random bow, and boots! This Gator shirt is one of her new favorites so I have no doubt I will be seeing it a lot!

Just a little swinging on the playground at Gopher Buddies

Some of her Gopher Buddies friends.

Getting Mammy and Pappy's Grandparent's Day present just right! She drew every single one of those flowers on the heart :)

Mary Kate is a card making girl...she's always, always making cards for people. Here are just a few I've found around the house lately.

Most of the "Brooker Girls" at a shower for Vanessa and her soon-to-be baby girl Reagan!

Two silly kids...Brooklyn and Brooker

Just taking Bitty Baby to Publix

All ready for "Dance Class"

Pepa having a talk with Brooker...not sure what he was telling him but I had to capture this moment because I'm sure it was great advice!

Brooker signing his animal ethics contract in preparation to raise a Hog for this year's fair.

She could be in the kitchen baking all day!

Fun playdate after school...Bella got to join us too!

He used a flashlight in his ear so he could read in the dark!

Pizza party at Aunt Laci's

They like to build forts and watch TV

I just don't know about this crew!

Charlotte Grace and Mary Kate on a wild ride with Brooker!
So sad to say goodbye to these sweet girls (Charlotte Grace and Ruby Claire) and their momma and daddy...Actually it's not "Goodbye" just "See you again soon"!

Mammy & Mary Kate taking a selfie at our impromptu lunch date! Mary Kate wanted to wear her pearls with her outfit because she knew how much Mammy likes pearls...turns out Mammy was wearing her pearls too!


Brooker and his buddies at lunch. Kaden's mom shared this picture with me!

Mary Kate absolutely LOVES The Pioneer Woman and watches her daily...she learns a lot. She knows how to find the recorded episodes and watches them over and over again, often telling me exactly what Ree is going to make. Today she asked me if I knew what "Ganache" was...I said, I'm not sure and she said, "Chocolate!"

September School Girls

Hoping to trade all these sleeveless dresses and sandals to leggings and boots soon!












Dads take your child to school day!

Cracker Trail participated in the 1st annual Florida "Dads take your child to school day!" CTE invited all dads to drop off their children at school, enjoy breakfast in the media center, then spend an hour and a half in their child's classroom to observe what the children do on a daily basis. During the time that Jared was there he was in the classroom for about 30 minutes then went to "Multi-Media" for 30 minutes and finally PE for 30 minutes. At PE, they played Asteroid Ball...Jared got in on the action as well! Brooker really enjoyed having his dad at school with him and was not happy when he had to leave! He wanted him to stay all day!

Margaret Nell's Magical Birthday Celebration

The three "M Girls" celebrated Margaret Nell's 5th birthday today and had a surprise from a beautiful princess...Cinderella! They got to use Heidi's fancy china and sip on pink lemonade, play a Cinderella memory matching game, visit with Cinderella herself and learn about how to be as polite as a princess, eat delicious GREEN cupcakes (Margaret's favorite color), and watch Margaret open up some really fun presents. It was a magical celebration indeed!

Caroline & Devon's Big Day!

We were honored to be part of Caroline (Carrie) and Devon's beautiful wedding celebration. Carrie has been a friend for a really long time (as long as I can remember) and it makes my heart feel full that she's found Devon. We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!
