First Friday, Art Class, Uncle Steve visit

We love going to Bryan for First Friday evenings. This month, the boys piano teacher invited her students to be street performers. What a fun experience!

We stuffed ourselves on Mr. G's pizza beforehand. Thanks to Josh Simmons for snapping this pic for us! :) 

            A long awaited moment. I am so thankful for the wonderfully patient teachers in this child's life who helped him want to read! :) 

Sustainably sourced iced coffee available at Chick Fila now!

Jonas is in a "Mommy can you take a picture of me" phase. He posed for this photo and asked me to take a picture. How could I refuse? This moment will stay with me forever.

And just so you know, he also asks me to take pictures of him dipping his chicken nuggets in his ketchup.

And I don't even know what is happening here. But it happened. 

And Uncle "Beef" came to visit after the Aggie game.  We love Steve season, I mean, game season!

We're loving watching the boys grow in art this semester! They are having an incredible experience with the Creative Capsule and I am so thankful for this opportunity for them.

Me attempting another dog selfie to track his growth. This dude is growing like a weed! I can't imagine what he'll look like at Christmas!

And that's all from my corner! :) Till we meet again, have a blessedly beautiful day!

Puppy, Bells visit, first day of school, art class, my haircut

Here is our little puppy "Hawkeye" (whose real name is Hugo).  He is a Labra-hound (so we think, anyway!) He is growing like a weed! Sleeping through the night GREAT, hardly any potty accidents in the house.  He is happy in his crate and when it's time to come out, the boys are teaching him tricks, playing fetch and running around with him outside. He is chewing everything though, sometimes our shoes, sometimes our hands and feet! Official puppy kindergarten class begins Monday! :)

Our friends the Bell's came to visit and we celebrated everyone's birthdays all together! What a fun day of pizza, brownies, a trip to the splashpad, a movie at home and legos galore!

First day of 4th grade, Dominic is in Mr. and Mrs. Stearns class. We are so excited have this amazing married couple / seasoned team of educators!

Milo, 1st grade, has Mrs. McQueen this year. We have loved getting to know Mrs. McQueen through the years and we're so excited to get to have her as our teacher this year!

Jonas started at Aggieland Montessori, the preschool of all Motekaitis boys! :) He has Ms. Tena and Ms. Corinne, whom we have known since Dominic was there. I'm so excited to watch how he grows this year!

The boys are part of an after school Art Club in the Creative Capsule this year. I love sitting and watching the lessons, and learning along with them.

I got a hair cut! I may have waited all summer, but it was worth the wait!!!! :) 

Hope you are having a wonderful back to school transition! Thanks for visiting!
