Williamson County Fair

Our good friends, The Reamers, called and invited us to join them at the Williamson County fair and we are so very happy that they did.  Such a fun night with great friends.  The last time we went to the fair Carter was too little to ride many of the rides.  This time he had a ball and it was Cassidy that was too little but luckily there were enough to keep her happy.  

Beginning of the night, ready to get started.  Daddy and Cassidy were in line to get the arm bands and tickets.


First ride of the night, the caterpillar roller coaster


Carter, Ella Catherine and Whitney all ready to go.

All Smiles

Whitney was a dare devil with no hands and Carter and Ella Catherine had a firm grip of the handle.  Toward the end Ella Catherine would raise her hands for a brief period of time.


Cassidy's first fair ride!  she was so excited and Ella Catherine was so sweet to ride it with her.

And around and around they go.  So fun watching them have this special experience together.  Doesn't get much better


These three!  Spinning around and around and around.  That is what was about to go down.  I wish I could have captured their faces as the ride was going around.  All i can say is that their faces were a mixture of extreme joy and a little fear, but when it was all over they wanted to ride it again.  

Ready for the Swings!  This kid was such a trooper.  When the ride wouldn't hold 3, he rode by himself and never complained.

These two are so fun to watch.  They truly enjoy each others company.
The fun farmers exhibit that lets kids learn what its like to be farmer.

Planting their corn




Each of them had a turn to be the cow, the pig and the sunflower

Cassidy loved petting the goats and all the other farm animals

First Day of the 2015 school year


I can not believe it is already time for school to start back.  Even more unbelievable is that Ella Catherine is starting 3rd grade, Carter is starting Kindergarten, and Cassidy is being moved up to the grasshoppers (3 year old preschool) class.  I am so happy that they all seem to still be excited about the first day of school.  Let's hope the enthusiasm lasts all year long!

Ella Catherine and Mrs. Peterman (3rd Grade)

Bring on the 3rd Grade!!!!  Her shirt actually says Bring on the Sunshine but I love that she figured out if she held the sign over sunshine it stated the above.

First Day of Kindergarten

Carter and his teacher Ms. Mann.  


All Smiles and what a smile he has!  Melts my heart everytime

Not the best in focus picture but she was so excited she had a hard time standing still


Cutest Grasshopper I've ever seen



So excited that she wanted a picture with  her big brother, unfortunately big brother thought it was funny to throw the bunny ears.  Boys!

And then she wanted a pic with both sissie and Carter.  Carter attempted the bunny ears again and I caught him. Busted.
