Terrific Kid!

SJCA monthly names two children from each Elementary Class that fits a characteristic word that was chosen by the faculty. The

March word was "friendly". Guess who got an award... McCrae did! We were so proud. I've uploaded a pic of him with our Headmaster and with me and Veda. He is developing into a very wise 4 year old.

What a Month!!

Oh my, how time has flown... We've done so much since my last post. I'm going to upload Christmas and New Years pics and also we had some Children of the World kids stay at our house.

Our children have grown a mile in a month it seems. They love to play together which is awesome. McCrae got a dragon castle that keeps him busy for days. That and his etch-o-sketch of course. Do yall remember those? I loved them.

Veda is TOTALLY in love with baby dolls. We change diapers all day and feed baby dolls. It's cute and sweet, but it gets old finding baby clothes over here, bottles over there, and so on. You get the picture.

Probably one of the most used gifts would have to be our trampoline! THEY LOVE IT!!! and so do we! It gets them outside and active. They could jump for days, and when we get on there, it really brings back our youth, except a flip still scares me and I used to do them all the time. What on earth happened to me?

Gearing up for Valentine's Day. It should be interesting, Mac is having his tonsils removed the 12th. I'll keep you posted. He says he's not looking forward to it because the nurse told him his mouth would STINK. ha ha ha.... If only he could smell his breath in the a.m. :)

Cheers!

Veda's First Hair Cut

Ok, so she's 2 1/2 but still she hasn't had a hair cut since she was born. Well, that's not totally true, we trimmed her mullet when she was 1 because it was getting so bad, just to even the back to the front. Here she's gotten a HUGE trim, and she loved it! She didn't like it so much when it was happening, but now, she loves it... Just precious!

Oh and don't forget about her SILLY brother, he was the entertainment during the cutting! Don't kill me all you "hair stylists," I did it myself! YIKES!!

Halloween 09

Ok, so I've been extremely slack about blogging. I'm so sorry to those of you who keep up with us this way, I promise, I'll do better! This Halloween was by far our best yet! The kids LOVED trick or treating.

Veda was slow to start, she was shy and hid behind my leg and wouldn't really say "trick or treat" at any of the first few houses, but by house #4, she was on top of it. She was yellin "trick or treat" across the yard before we even got to the door. They had great manners, said thank you (with some reminding a time or two). I have pictures, but they're at home, so I'll have to upload them later. They really tell the WHOLE story.

McCrae was scooby doo, and he was a HUGE hit!! He got his costume from his cousin Hayes, it fit to a "t" and he was so excited about it! Everyone loved scooby and even gave him "scooby treats." He laughed and laughed about scooby treats.

Veda was a scarecrow. I got her costume from our consignment sale, which by the way is happening again in March. She was absolutley precious, but people got her confused with a witch... she had a black hat, but IT HAD PATCHWORK on it... surely that should have given it away right? Anyway, they loved it, and we had a BLAST taking them from house to house.

This will go down in history as the best Driggers Halloween YET!!

Soccer Ball Practice

Yes, you read it right, soccer ball. McCrae won't call it just Soccer, it has to have the word BALL behind it! He is the cutest thing EVER playing soccer. He played goalie most of the time last night, and he ROCKED at it!! He got one right in the belly (GUT) and stopped, looked at me and the coach, like should I cry or not... and he sucked it right up. I yelled to him, "GOOD JOB McCRAE, SHAKE IT OFF!" and he got up! He got right back to work!! We are so proud of him. Here are a few pics to show you all the day! Oh, can't forget to say how proud we are of his Daddy...he's a GREAT coach!

Mac's #1 cheerleader is Veda, she loves going to practice and watching (or playing with toys). She constantly is trying to run out and hug Daddy (coach) on the field. It is a precious site!

Mac Playing Goalie!

Coach Kevin and his team!

Twins!

Yesterday at Veda's school she and her cousin Kaylen dressed alike. Aunt Carrie bought these precious dresses for them both, and they looked like little bits of heaven. We get comments on them looking a lot alike anyway, so it was perfect that they had matching dresses. Enjoy!
