6 years and 6 months... you are 6 1/2!!! #Timeslowdown

What an amazing month September has been. Other than some tummy pains, you've had a healthy month. You've done some really fun things too. It's hard for me to believe that you are 6 1/2 and on your way to 7. You have grown so much since school started. You've gotten a little more "sassy" LOL and even more independent. You are trying to determine when to insert sarcasm and when to refrain. ha! 

It's been a HOT September. In fact... it's going to be in the mid-90's the first week of October. GASP! We can't wait for cooler temperatures. 

I love when I pick you two up from school each week. I love when you tell me stories about your day. You and B are usually arguing on the way home.... LOL... though. 


 You are silly and you know I am! 


We went and got your hair cut. You love a good cut and you love to tell the lady HOW to do it. ha


We went to Kroger afterwards to pick out some candy! 


We took some pictures for the CF Foundation because you were chosen to be an Ambassador for Wish for Wendy - a huge softball tournament for CF. SO proud of you. I love how willing you are to take pictures for them. :) We also made a video. It's always such a funny time trying to keep each other from laughing on the video. You wanted to take the pictures on your jungle gym and I think that's SO cute. 



Your Mommy is going to sign you up for gymnastics soon. You are a natural! :) 




The pictures for the Foundation were supposed to "show" who you ARE and you LOVE to swim... so we took this picture! You REALLY didn't want to take your shirt off for the picture...which cracked us up since you DO swim without a shirt. You are very modest. Like your Mommy! 


We went to Your Pie for pizza. We love going to downtown Monroe. 


We got Bruster's too! 


We went to Grandparent's Bingo night at your school...



You LOVED Bingo! You and Pops won a round and you won a prize! 




You ate Papa John's and got a candy and coke too! 


Mrs. Barbie gave you a balloon when we left for the night...


We went to Chipotle afterwards. You climb on anything you see! 


You spent the night with us! I love when you ask to snuggle! 


I made you pancakes for breakfast with strawberries! So fun! 



We went and painted pottery one Saturday. You are quite the artist! 



We went to eat Thai afterwards...


You LOVE to play games and you LOVE to win! Playing a game of Sorry with Nelly! 



Thomason loves to watch you playing...


Happy Grandparent's Day! You two are SO sweet. You came running up with this bag! :) 


And homemade cards... OH MY HEART! 


Your Dee Dee loves you to the moon and back and back again! 


We went to Mama's Boy for breakfast...


You love playing Rock, Paper, Scissors! 




You are SUPER independent. You know...you "are 6 years old" you know! I love it!


We went to Taste of Grayson after breakfast to see Nelly at her Matilda Jane booth! 


Climbing or jumping if you can...






They even had face painting...


We got ice cream too! 



Your card is very special to me! 



Playing one of the games you got us for Grandparent's Day! FUN! 


If you stand too long in the driveway, you'll climb in the tree. ha! 


Y'all got us Hangman too! 


Bennett loves to ride ON the golf cart and you love to race with it home! ha 


Our final HOORAY for swimming! 



We went to Harbin's park...




Dee Dee will slide with y'all because she loves you so much! :) 





We went to Target and you each got a prize! You also tried on some costumes! LOL 



It's been SOOO hot, we can't even sit outside without shade! ha


Your Mommy let you dress yourself. You have on size 24 months shorts. hahaha


Your belly has given you more trouble this month than normal...


You got new camo stuff for hunting. Pops went with you and your Dada! You LOVE to hunt! 


Oh DEAR! LOL 


It's been SOOOO hot...when I pick you up from school we can't play outside. Bennett loves to watch Ice Age but you just weren't feeling it this week. ha! You love to draw and you are really good at it. It drives you crazy that Bennett won't take it seriously. HA! 


Snuggle time makes my heart happy! 


You asked to take more pics for the CF Foundation. I HAD to abide. ha! 


You are very good on your feet...



Your Dad cut down a few trees in Dee Dee and Pop's yard. You LOVE to help him! 


Dada wanted to show you how to use the chain saw but you think you should just be able to do it all on your own. You are THAT independent. You're learning that some things need to be taught! :) 


It's getting dark earlier! NOOOOOOOOO! Dee Dee loves long summer nights...


You love to play with Thomason and he loves to play with you! 


Making your Dad a card for taking you hunting...



Your notes are the best! 


Up bright and early to go to Charlie Elliott! 




SO excited and so proud! 


 Dee Dee and Pops went to FLA for Pop's work meeting... y'all had a beautiful weekend outside and your Mom said..."it flew right by!" hahahaha


You went to Hilton Head while Dee Dee and Pops were in Colorado! You had the best time and I'm SOOO glad! 


Your new shades from Walmart...


You found a sharks tooth! 





I sure do love y'all! 





These pictures make me happy! 


Your favorite night out to eat...



I laughed so hard when your Mommy sent me this picture! You are CUTE! 


Your purchase.... shark teeth and a sheet to tell you what kind of fish you caught! What great purchases! 


You loved to ride the waves...


You buried B and he buried you! TOO funny! 






You came home on Sunday night from HH. Your Mommy said you were so confused why we weren't home if you were. LOL! We sure have missed you all. We've been gone the past 10 days... hiking in Colorado. In Aspen! :) 

What a blessing this month has been. We've been healthy and enjoyed the beautiful outdoors. We've all gotten away and enjoyed some time in God's creation. 

I'm so excited for October. You love pumpkins and all things outdoors. It's still SUPER hot.... mid 90's for the first week of October but by the end of this next month... I just know it will be cooler! LOL 



Prayer needs - 

* Aspen to gain weight 
* Aspen's stomach to not bother him so much 
* His October clinic appointment
* To have a healthy month and a healthy flu season 
* Lungs to stay as clear as possible for as long as possible 
* Friends and choices at school 


Happy October, sweet Aspen! I have a feeling many games will be played and many hours will be spent outside playing this month. I thank the Lord SO often that I get to watch you and B grow up. We are SOOO blessed that you live next door. Your Dee Dee loves you and is constantly praying for you. I'm praying you will come to know the Lord and have a relationship with him. I'm praying for the drug in trial to be approved soon and for it to help you. I'm praying for a cure. I'm also praying for your future wife... your person! I'm praying for the friend's you make and that you will remain independent and determined and will always try as hard as possible to do your best. 

You are SO loved.
