Just another day...

In the life of the Fontenot kids. These two are really becoming the best of friends. Wonder what it will be like with three.

Walking the trails!

(I forgot to publish this post 9 months ago...look how little they look!) Today we walked the trails at Lake Sawyer looking for baby jaguars! On our less than perfect camping trip a couple weeks I discovered the kids love doing this. I reached out to some friends for recommendations on easy trails because Ms. Independent will not let me carry her...hell she barely lets me help. So we woke up, packed a lunch and the back pack and headed out. We all had a blast! We will definitely be headed back there and many more places! I of course didn't bring my camera so these are all cell phone pics but I think you can still get the idea of how much fun they had!

Sydney fell so he gave her a hug...

and a kiss. Such a good big brother!

Ms. No Fear wanted to touch the bug!

Stopping to smell the flowers!

Summer Camp

Connor had his first day of preschool "summer camp". Really it is just a couple of hours and it only last M-F. He is in the "All about Safari" class. He didn't seem to have any issues with me dropping him off and leaving. Sydney and I were a little lost without him though. His first day went pretty well but there where a few hiccups according to his teacher. I hope tomorrow is better for him & that he will have the class routine down by time September comes along. Can't believe how fast my little man is growing up!!

Where oh where...

Ack...Oh have I not blogged in 6 months? This week I'm going to get caught up...promise! It has been quite the year...lost family members, new additions, close friends are no longer, illness, trips to urgent care. But that's life. We have had plenty of good times along the way. The kids are growing big and strong and making us proud. I started the year saying on I wanted to be healthy and happy...and we are getting there.

Santa Claus is coming!

Happy Holidays from the Fontenots!
 
 
 
 

Secret Bumpies

Connor and Sydney got a special delivery. Christmas gifts for the other kids in our Mommy group. Sydney got hers a little early so I regave her her gifts when Connor got his. Sydney got a cute little owl ornament and an owl book (You see a theme here?) and Connor got a Lightening McQueen toy and PJs. They were both equally excited by their gifts and each others! Much Thanks to Krista & Ella and Lexi & James!

Gotcha!

Busting into the granola thins! 
Excuse her outfit...it was laundry day! :)

Look who turned One!

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Pea! Sydney's first birthday was a hoot! All the family made it and ;ots of Sydney's little friends came to celebrate too! She really had a good time but was pretty scared of her cake...that Mamma spent hours making marshmallow fondant, rolling it and molding it. Anything for my baby though!
