First Day of School

Jake is going into 8th grade- same school,
no big deal.

Aubrey is 8 and in 3rd grade...she was just

ready to start school. No time for photos...

Ryan, in 5th grade, is also happy to be back

to school, but not about the photo op.

Hailey was having a hard time going into

1st grade. We took her first, but she was

nervous, so she went with us to drop off the

others. When it was her turn to go, she cried

a little, and I stayed with her for a few

minutes, then she was fine, and had a great day!

AS much as I love these kids, it was time to go

back to school and get back to their routine. And

time for me to have a little FREEDOM back! We

are all happy with the start of the new school

year!

Texas Trip!

The summer is almost over, and its time for one last
road trip to see our cousins in Austin, Texas.


The kids all had their electronics to keep them busy. Here
Hailey is showing off her snaggle tooth. We called her
"Hailey McPhee"! She refused to pull that tooth!

The kids all had a great time swimming every day,


and just hanging out with their cousins!


We went boating on the lake...

Here is Jake on the wake-board.

Here is Ryan on the knee-board.

Aubrey, Hailey and Paige on the tube!

The girls made up dance routines and bonded over the

weekend.

On the way home we stopped at a hotel, and rested from

our 9 hour drive. We had a great time in Texas! Thanks

David and Amy!
