Kade's Kindergarten Field Trip to Wheeler Farm

Today was Kade's first real school fieldtrip. I was one of the lucky few who got to chaperone (the district is now requiring background checks by all parent volunteers). They went to wheeler farm, saw all the animals then went to a park for lunch and to play. My group was so good and fun. I love that I am able to go experience these things with Kade.

Kade is the master at monkey bars

The bus ride was so fun!

Afterwards, we left school early and had a mcflurry at McDonalds. 

It was a great day with a great kid :) 

Class of 2025

Kade came home from school today wearing this... Class of 2025. I totally remember when I realized I'd be the class of 99. I'm getting old and its completely unreal to think of any of my kids graduating school. BTW the girls graduate in 2022 and Jaxon in 2027. 

1st fieldtrip in kindergarten

Kylie and Bailey had their first fieldtrip to Wheeler Farm. They were absolutely thrilled that they got to ride the bus, that was their favorite. They loved it and I loved being able to go with them.

With their group...

Around the farm...

  With their teacher, who is wonderful and they love her!

This field trip was great and I think the girls enjoyed it.

 So did all the moms. These are some of the moms that went. It made it so fun being able to hang out a little.  I am so glad I am able to take days off to be with my kids. These girls are growing up so fast and I'm lovin' any time I get.

August-September Catch Up

I have not been so great with the blogging. We've had a big month so I'm just going to go over some of the highlights...

Kade turns 3

Kade is a little boy that just can't wait to grow up no matter how much I ask him not to. He loves all things boy, cars and legos and bugs and frogs. He is rough (a little too much for the girls in this family) and can take a serious spill and not shed a tear. He is friendly and generally just a happy child. He loves to be the center of attention and wants to be all the time. For his birthday, Nana and Poppy were visiting and he only wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese and to have his favorite cousin Natalie come to his party. Since Natalie lives a bit far (in Florida), he had to settle with just Chuck-E-Cheese.

Kylie and Bailey Start Kindergarten

Can you believe my little babies are in kindergarten?? August 25th, my little girls started kindergarten. I cannot believe how grown up it has made them. They go everyday, come home, do their homework then want to go outside and play with friends. They're suchgreat girls and I'm so excited for them to be in school. They love it and are doing very well. I'm so glad we decided to wait a year to start them.

This is their class where their teacher read them a story before all the parents left.

There are a ton of kids from our church in their class. This is a picture of the neighborhood kids. I think they might just make up half the class.

Bailey lost her first tooth

A month and a half ago Kylie lost her first tooth. Bailey has been waiting anxiously to lose hers (more like dying to lose it!). Paul finally pulled it out. Doesn't she look cute with a missing tooth!

Ooops the tooth fairy forgot the tooth.

But she did leave $3 for that first tooth.

Kade Starts Preschool

Kade is a smart boy. He knows his shapes, even a hexagon, his colors and some of his letters! He loves to learn and is so excited about being in school. I was a little nervous for him, he had a hard time going to nursury at church and seemed a little anxious his first day but after he started, he never looked back. He's lovin' it!

After Preschool

This is how much he loved it. I turned around for 10 minutes and this is what I found!

Jaxon is the happiest boy!

Knowing Jaxon is our last, I think I've appreciated him more than I did with my others. He is the sweetest baby (I think I might be a little biased but really he is!). He's so happy, and just goes with the flow. He loves his sibblings and lights up whenever they pay him any attention. He's a great kid and such a cutie!
