Our First 1st Grader!

I was so not ready to put kids back in school yet.  I feel Summer has just begun, and we still have so many things planned. Tristan wasn't ready either.  But he is loving it!  We give him a choice each day to bring a sack lunch or eat at school.  So far he has chosen school.  And he is already making lots of friends.

 

Monday we met with his teacher and found his desk.  Ashton starts kindergarten!!! next Tuesday.  He has been so bored this week with out Tristan.  I am glad though we were given the afternoon kindergarten class.  I didn't want it as first, but it works out great.  This way by the end of the year, Tristan and Ashton can walk home together.

Tristan's friend Zane lives across the street from us.  His mother Collette and I have set up a carpool.  So I pick Zane and his sister Lexi up several times a week, and she does the rest.  All though I don't work, it is nice to not have to pack Logan up every day.  I am so thankful to Das for his hard work that allows me to stay home with our children. 

The 1st graders line up in a different spot than all the rest.  It's gonna take some planning for me to make sure Tristan can find Ashton after school to get a ride home.  I love that they are only a grade apart though.

This is his teacher Ms. Jensen.  She has been so cute with the kids and I think she is going to be a joy for Tristan. 

Ashton was ready to go home and go back to bed.  I have a tough time getting him up before 9 most of the time.  The doctor thinks he doesn't sleep well because he has large tonsils, which he will be getting removed next month. 

Daybreak has proved to be such a wonderful school.  I am excited to see all my boys learn and experience this next step in their lives.  It is going to be a great year!

The Week Before School Starts....

Since our camera was stolen, we won't be posting about our fun adventures in Vegas.  Luckily....we still have our video camera that takes pics. . . . and our phones.  These are some random pics that we took before and after Vegas.  No particular order....

Botox ingections gone bad. lol  While spending the day at my nephews Taylor Collgans, Tristan was running from the other kids playing a fun game.  He turned and found his face in the back of their boat.  This is what we came home to.  The poor kid had a tough time just drinking. 

This was taken four days later.  Still very swollen. My brother in law called us in some antibiotic, cuz he was sure it was infected.  It has gone down dramatically since we started giving it to him. 

Take a close look.  Das thought it looked like a pile of.....!  But it is a dead pocket gopher.  A wonderful cat has been hanging out in our backyard taking care of our pest problem. I wish I knew whose cat it was.  I'd like to adopt it. . . or get our own. But of course Das won't let me.

Please stop feeding me. . I have enough rolls! lol  I swear he looked even bigger after not seeing him for a few days.  Although, Ashton was even bigger than this.  I love those rolls...and rolls.   

He had just woken up from his nap.  It is getting so hard to get him to nap during church. 

I love me some Oreo's!!!  I told Das they would be messy.  Logan loved them though.   

I don't think we can avoid it anymore. . . this boy is going to be crawling soon. Better babyproof the house.
