Back to School! The First Week

My 1st Grader

Her backpack looks huge!

We are so lucky that the bus stop is in our driveway! Doesn't get more convenient than that!

My kindergartener!

It's hard to believe that I have 2 kids in school now. 

Gavin goes to half-day kindergarten in the afternoon so he gets on the bus after lunch and then Alexa and Gavin ride the same bus home from school. 

There's a party in our yard everyday! It's been nice getting to know all our new neighbors. There's so many kids in our neighborhood and we love that. 

They both had great first days. They said the bus was hot. 

Second day

It's strange for me to be left with only 3 little ones after Gavin goes to school. 

Tysen is my big boy at home now!

Having a great summer

We are really enjoying our new backyard!

Grandad Briggs and Uncle Eric assembled the kids' new play set. 

It was a big job! We are so happy to have it and the kids have played on it everyday since. 

Cousins Dezirae and Ian came to visit, too. 

Almost done! The kids were patiently waiting. 

I won a drawing at the local toy store. The kids were thrilled with their new TMNT toys. 

The kids love having so many new neighborhood friends to play with. 

Having a snack in the clubhouse with a friend 

Look at that healthy baby! She weighed in at 14lbs 10 oz, 25 inches at her 2 month appointment. 

Don't you just want to pick her up and snuggle her?!?

Such beautiful children

Happy girl

The kids said this was the "Best day ever!" after I placed their pool at the bottom of their slide. Lots of fun!

Erika still loves her bath. 

So pretty
