Great Weekend in San Antone!

First have to start off with a few cute pics I took earlier last week...

Little munchkin enjoying the swing at the park.


Sydney loves to swing! Little did we know the little puppy that we'd find was right in front of us under the slide.


Sweet little puppy that we found at the park. She was so cute, but luckily we found the owner later that day. She and her owner were very happy to be reunited! The girls on the other hand were not so excited to give her back.


This past weekend my sweet friend and neighbor, Michelle, and I went to the Women of Faith conference in San Antonio. We had an amazing time, learned so much, and just simply relaxed and rejuvenated. It was SO nice to get away and spend some quality time with other women, so fun! Huge thanks to Scott, Nana and Pawpaw, and Jacob for all helping take care of the girls so that I could go away for the weekend. You are all amazing and I appreciate y'all SO much!

Michelle and I on the last day in our cute matching hats and shirts!


Jacob had some work to do in San Antonio on monday, so he decided to bring the girls down to SA with him so that we could have a little mini vacation. I was so happy to see them! We stayed for 2 more nights down on the riverwalk and had a great time together. We went swimming several times at the hotel pools and hot tubs, enjoyed a couple meals down on the riverwalk, took a boat tour, and went on a horse and carriage ride one evening. The girls loved coming to SA and Jayda already keeps asking when we are going back.

Going out on the boat tour, yay!


Taking a horse and carriage ride. The girls were so excited about this!


Sweet sisters enjoying the ride.


Miss Syd out playing at the soccer field playground. The girls love to play at the park before Jayda's soccer practice.


Daddy got home early yesterday and got to come out to Jayda's last soccer practice, sniff, sniff. They loved playing at the park with daddy!


About to go down the slide, woo-hoo!


"Weeeeee!"


Sydney just had to get out there and play a little soccer with Jayda.


Sydney thinks she's such a big girl!


Jayda and one of her teammates at practice, so cute!


Sydney likes to sit on her ball and watch sister practice.


She is so ready to play, too bad she has to be 4!

Out at the park this morning.


"Come here duck-ducks!"

October Fun!

We have had lots of fun this past week. The girls and I spent a lot of time at the parks around our neighborhood because the weather was so nice!

Having fun on the airplane at the park...well, actually she just knocked sister off the back wing and thought it was hilarious. Sisterly love!


Taking a ride on the "horse-horse" as Sydney likes to call the airplane.


Loving on each other at the park, sweet girls.


L-O-V-E!


The girls always have fun feeding the ducks. This particular day the ducks decided to jump out of the water and come straight up to us and grab the food, not too sure about that.


"Sliiiiiiide" as she would say.


Cheesing for mommy on the slide, sweet girl.


She was in the mood to have her picture taken so mommy wasn't gonna so no. So cute!


My little monkey!


On friday night Daddy brought home candy bouquets for each of the girls from one of his clients. So sweet and the girls LOVE them!


She wanted the ginormous lollipop first of course, aaaahhh!


On saturday morning Jayda had another soccer game at 8:00 a.m. bright and early. She did a great job and was such a good sport as usual.

Jayda with her game face on, lol. Ready for the game to start.


Going after the ball! She ended up scoring 4 goals on saturday, although she'd tell she scored 16! She loves the number 16 now because she can't wait to be 16 yrs. old so that she can drive a car, getting a little ahead of yourself missy!


Sydney likes to dig for ants at Jayda's soccer game, mabye not such a good idea Syd!


This afternoon Oma and Oupa came to visit us and we went out to the pumpkin patch. Oma brought the girls adorable Halloween outfits so of course we had to wear them to the pumpkin patch, thank you Oma! We had lots of fun looking around at the pumpkins, doing a few crafts, and getting the girls faces painted.

Jayda was so excited to get her face painted!


Sydney was excited too, but didn't quite know what was going on.


"Whatcha' doing over there?"


Yay, all done!!


She liked her little "monk-monk".


Jayda loved her butterfly face painting, so pretty!


Saying hi to the scarecrow.


Such a sweet pic of Sydney with the little pumpkin she picked out.


Family pic at the pumpkin patch, gotta love Jayda's cheesy smile...she was ready to get in the bounce house!


Sweet sisters at the pumpkin patch.


Each one holding up the pumpkins they picked out to take home, very fitting.


Jayda made pumpkin necklaces filled with orange sand for her and Sydney, she thought this was so cool!


The pumpkin is almost as big as her.


The only smile we got from Sydney at the pumpkin patch, dancing with Oupa to the music.


Two little pumpkins for two little munchkins.


After visiting the pumpkin patch we headed over to Jayda's pre-school for an ice cream social. Oma and Oupa came with us and Jayda got to show them around her school and classroom. She was so excited to see her teachers and friends from school. She absolutely loves school and all of the people there. I am so thankful that we have such an amazing pre-school for our kiddos right here in the neighborhood!

Jayda hugging her teacher from this year with her teacher from last year standing behind. She loves them both SO much!
