Birthday surprise- It's a train table! (and Beth put the pics in the wrong order)

Hannah has been in on the secret all week...can you believe she kept such a great secret?!

Ben's grandparents and Uncle Marc are in town to celebrate Nathan's birthday with us.
Look at that happy face!
Good job, daddy Ben. Paint job's not too bad either, momma Beth. We had to high five each other on that one. What a blessing- our little boy is almost the big THREE!

Freshman Dinner at the Haileys

The afternoon was a little rough on us at first....Nathan needed some extra love so Callie and Stephanie were a big help in the kitchen while I read to Nathan. After the fourth book, we discovered the solution to the problem...he needed a nap. How precious is that little face?
Freshman and several non-freshman :) It was a great group.

Nathan's First Aggie Game

Way to Gig 'Em, Aggies!

RUF tailgate at Spence park-Ben, Hannah and I were given tickets to the first Aggie game of the season! We left Nathan with a friend-THANK YOU LEAH!!!- and had a great afternoon/evening at Kyle Field.


Callie Brack, our sweet new intern, is already big friends with Hannah
The A&M Corp
The Anderson's got to tailgate too!
Gig 'Em!


Gig 'Em, Aggies! We didn't make it on the jumbo-tron but if it were a cute contest, i think Hannah should have been up there several times at least! Look at that smile!

The incredible and awesome "T"

The Aggies WON and Hannah lost a SECOND tooth this morning after breakfast!! She is so proud to be "snaggle toothed".

All in all a super fun and blessed day!

First day of Kindergarten and ONE TOOTH MISSING!!!

Hannah woke up this morning to the smell of Cinnamon rolls! Normally, a slow riser in the mornings, she made a beeline for the kitchen. I noticed some blood on her pillow but thought it must be from a scratch. Watching her take that first bite, my heart stopped. She had a HOLE in her gums!!! I was totally shocked and sure enough, there was the tooth on her bedroom floor! (I thought you had to be like 7 to loose a tooth!)
Ready for school and proud of that missing tooth!


At the double doors...
In the classroom....
back in the van without Hannah...Nathan was visibly depressed! I asked him,

"How do you feel about Hannah going to school?" He answered,

"because I don't like Hannah" (which meant, i don't like Hannah being at school)

Then I said, "are you sad Hannah is at school?" His answer-

"yeah, and my mickey mouse shoes are sad too."

When we came home, Hannah learned that the tooth fairy came to visit ...

And left her a Wonka candy bar!!!
