Parker turns 5!!!

















I cannot believe it, but my sweet little man turned 5 on September 8.  It is so hard to believe he's already 5 and he'll start Kindergarten next year!  Oh my goodness, where is the time going?

We had an awesome birthday bash for Parker . . . a petting zoo came to our house.  It was great and we had the best time!  My mom thought it would be fun to get the kids cowboy hats, but as you can see, they didn't last long.
Howdy folks!
Since we had a farm animal theme, we had hot dogs, chips, carrots and watermelon.  It was a lot of fun and each food item had a "farm name" . . . howdy hot dogs, barnyard buns, souie slaw, corny carrots, wahoo watermelon.  It all looked pretty cute with the red/white checked plates, napkins and tablecloth. 



Our sweet birthday boy!
 


















Chillin' with Hannah before the party starts!

 The petting zoo was awesome!  Parker and Hannah loved it and all the kids and adults had a great time.  We had a gorgeous day and lots of friends came to celebrate Parker's big day!

 Everyone loved the rabbits!

This cow was awesome . . . it was a Scottish Highlander cow. 

 Hannah was fascinated by the pot-bellied pig.

A few of the animals . . . cow, donkey and alpaca.

 This may be the best pic ever!

 Parker's birthday cake!
My bakery gal did such an awesome job with his barn cake.  She is awesome and I have never been disappointed with any cake she had made!

 Hannah ate with a few of her "girl friends."

 The girl on the left is one of Parker's classmates.  They have been at the same preschool for 3 years now (they are big buds).  Both she and her sister had on the cutest red, cowgirl boots!

 The girls were super sweet with Parker and helped him open all his gifts. 


All in all, it was another successful birthday party!  Thanks again to all who came out to help us celebrate Parker's special day!

August

We've been busy, busy, busy here at the Kleeman house.  Lots of fun things have been going on, Parker started back at preschool and the biggest . . . Hannah began her first days at preschool for the very first time!  I hope you enjoy the recap of all the fun things we did in August!

August started with our private preschool Open House.  Parker got to meet his teachers, Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Angela and Hannah got to meet her very 1st preschool teachers, Mrs. Jennie and Mrs. Robyn!  We are so thankful that our kids have loving preschool teachers a wonderful preschool!                      



  
Parker was ready for his first day of preschool, but he had a hard time posing for a picture because he was too busy checking out his new shoes!



















 


















 Parker was ready to go into preschool!
Parker had an awesome 1st day at preschool.  Thanks to our wonderful preschool teachers for being a part of Parker's learning. 
Sweet, sweet Hannah on her very 1st day of preschool!  It was definitely a bittersweet moment.  She was all excited and ready to go! 
She did super.  She walked right into school and right to her class.  I think she did fine because she's familiar with the preschool, since Parker has been going for a while. 
Hannah had an awesome first preschool day!  So thankful for wonderful teachers and a wonderful school! 

 This is just the sweetest picture ever!  The kids got to walk into preschool together for the first time.  It was so cute how they both walked in with their backpacks.
 















Hannah loves her backpack and will just walk around the house with it on her back - it is too cute!  She will also get upset if you try to take it from her!
 
Sweet little Hannah turned 21 months in August!  I cannot believe in just a few short months, my sweet little girl will be 2!  It's so hard to believe!

Hannah is very feisty and very independent!  She soaks up everything like a little sponge.  She's getting lots of words:  Elmo, dada, mama, Jeek (for our doggie Jake), stawbee (for strawberry), this (for what's this), appe (for apple).  She loves to make a "roar" sound for a lion and a "cack,cack" (quack, quack) for a duck sound.  She's starting to make a doggie sound too.

She loves to help take out the silverware from the dishwasher and she loves stickers.  She loves taking the all the stickers off the sticker book page and sticking them on her, on me, on the floor, on the chair, etc.  I have found stickers all over the house!
 
 I just can't say enough about how much we love our preschool!  My kids are always happy and excited to go!
 












 
 
 
 


We did find time to go to the gardens.  This could be the most precious picture ever!
We saw a super cool beetle! 
 
 On Fridays at preschool, it's Football Friday, so we get to sport our Georgia gear.  We love our Dawgs!
