1st day of 1st grade!

An exciting day! I can't wait to hear all about it!


At home...

In the front...

Another in the front...



This was yesterday, at orientation. She was able to unload all her supplies into her very own desk (last year Kindergarten they has tables with 5 to a round table)... and locker! The locker is a huge hit... she thinks she is pretty cool... even asked Paul and I if we had a locker when we went to school!

Summer is offically over...

It has been ages since I last blogged... but we have just been enjoying the summer, the weather, the fun things to do and each other.


Mason was an only child this weekend, starting Friday night (Lauren went to CR with my Mom) so Mason picked to eat at Red Robin Friday night...




Mason started preschool at his new school today... Gosh he looks tiny there...he is 4.5 yrs old... and he is actually wearing 4's and 5's but he looks tiny!!!

Lauren has orientaion today at noon and then offically starts tomorrow! She already has her 1st day outfit all picked out... she is to funny! She a little fashion queen!

Summer went by fast... and while we still have a few things planned it will be different with them both in school all day now!

We have been enjoying bonfires with neighbors, volleyball and swimming... I have been running quite a bit and enjoying the sunrises and sunsets that I take in on my daily jog!

I am still wrestling with putting Lauren into gymnastics... I just feel like she has a lot going on with Daisy's on Tuesday's and Treasure Seekers (youth group at church) on Wednesday's. If I did gymnastics it would need to be on Tuesday's or Thurday's from 4-5, and I might just be pushing it... I know she would enjoy it, but it means a lot of running and I am taking a class that is on Monday and Thursday's from 5:20-7:20... so we are all busy! So we will see...I might see how the school year starts out and then add her... or if I could find a Saturday morning class that would be great... we are also thinking of trying to get Mason into karate this year, or possibly the youth wrestling program this winter-- they can start at 4?! Totally amazes me... I think 5 might be a better maturity level!

Well I am off for now... I know it was general and brief but hey it was an update!
