Tyler’s First Day of Kindergarten

Where has my little boy gone?! This one is all grown up and ready for Kindergarten!

Tyler was SO excited for school this morning! He was a little slow with chores, but after that he couldn’t wait to get to school.

We had family pictures at the school before and I snapped another quick photo of Tyler.

Then all the families gathered inside for a little ceremony. It was great! All the dad’s stood behind the teachers to symbolize that the dad’s were the authority. “By obeying your teacher you are obeying your dad’s, by learning from your teacher you are learning from your dad’s.”

Then we prayed and sent the children off with their teachers! Tyler has Mrs. Appleton this year!

And his best buddy Jonah is in his class too!

Mommy kept it together and Tyler was sure to give me hugs and kisses before he left.

We are looking forward to a great year! I am excited to be involved with Tyler’s school. I get to be his teacher at home on Monday’s and Wednesday’s.

Slip Slidin Away

What’s summer without some slip n’ slidin!

This was Kalen’s first time to try it! She was a little hesitant at first, but got into it real quick!

I loved all the silly faces!

They would yell “Look out beeelllooooowwww” the whole way down!

I have a feeling we will be pulling the slip n’ slide out again! They had a blast!

Hope you all are having a great summer!

School’s out for Summer!

Tyler had his last day of school on Friday!

He did so well in Pre-K and is ready for Kindergarten next year! Here is a picture from his first day and his last day.

He looks a little happier on his first day, ha! Mrs. Cox was a great teacher for Tyler and we can tell how he has grown through this year!

Way to go Tyler on your first year of school!

The Birthday Girl!

How can it be? Is my baby girl really 3 years old?

Kalen has gotten so grown up.

She has a fun and carefree personality!

I wanted to get a few pictures in her birthday outfit before her guest started arriving for the party.

She was such a good model and I got quite a few!

I just love these of her in the grass.

Such a sweet girl.

Big brother had to get in a couple!

He’s a cutie too!

So now I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old! Man, how the years fly by!

Tyler’s 5th Birthday Party

I can’t believe it!!! My baby boy is 5 years old!! Where did the time go?

We had a birthday party for him last week at the indoor playground at church. Perfect place for a winter party! Especially since we still had 6 inches of snow on the ground! Tyler told me he wanted a “Batman birthday.”

The Birthday Boy

We went real simple with the décor this year.

I made some cupcakes with yellow and blue frosting and used batman picks.

Of course we had to have some batman plates.

And the Batman sign!

Favors were Batman bands for the boys, and My Little Pony for the girls.

Schools had been closed all that week because of the snow so we were all very excited to get out and play and visit with friends!

The cake was AWESOME!! Jordan made Tyler a special Batman ice cream cake!

Tyler loved it and it was SO yummy!!

His friends picked out some fun presents for him too!

Tyler had so much fun! Thank you for making his 5th birthday a special one!
