Kindergarten

KINDERGARTEN!!

Is it even possible that these two are now 5 years old and have entered a new phase of their lives....SCHOOL!!

They were so excited this morning, I am pretty sure I was more nervous then the both of them combined, but they did really well...Elliott shocked me and wanted me to stay for a while, I was expecting that from Ayden, but he was totally fine!! Goofy boys...but I just explained to him that his teacher, Mrs Koch, was going to start the day and that he needed to listen to what she had to say, and he was ok with that...

They both had a very fun day...they loved recess! Duh:) and they "did not go to the principal's office today!" WOOHOO:) Day 1 is a success...:) HA...we discussed with them over the last few weeks about being good boys, and good listeners and how they needed to do what their teacher asked, or they would have to go to the principal's office and she would have to talk to mommy and daddy about how they weren't behaving...and that would really disappoint mommy and daddy...so I hope this trend continues! :) wish us luck!!

So here is to new beginnings! Fun times, New friends, and amazing experiences!! I can't wait for all that is to come for them, they are going to have so much fun:) Even if it means they are growing up far too quickly...ha!

WE LOVE YOU AYDEN & ELLIOTT!!!!!!

Four

We have a new 4 year old in the house...Last Saturday, Aug 6th, our little Ashley Jo turned 4!!

It is totally amazing to me that 4 years have gone by since she joined our family, I just have no words to describe how lucky we are to have her:)

She is so smart, spunky, sassy and simply SUPER!! She is everything a little girl should be and MORE...she is strong, independent, curious, quizitive, silly and FUNNY...WE love you so much ASHLEY:)

On her actual birthday, Grandma Jane and Grandpa George, and also Grandma Teresa and Grandpa Doug, cousins Ellie, Malia and Brylie, and Uncle Andrew all came over for supper...we grilled a pork loin and had yummy sweet corn, and the birthday girl picked chocolate cupcakes for mommy to make for dessert...so we had those with some ice cream!

Thank you all for coming to help Ashley celebrate...she had so much fun:)

On Sunday, we told her she could pick a friend and they could go and get their nails done...This was her first time of being able to go to a salon and get that done, and SHE loved it!! Her friend Mallory enjoyed as well:)

Ashley, we are so proud of the wonderful 4 year old that you have become, and we are so excited to see all the wonderful and exciting things that your life will bring...we know for sure that you will do things YOUR way, with YOUR own spunk and style...we wouldn't have it any other way:)

WE LOVE YOU peanut!!
