School is in session, and just like that I have a kindergartener and another one in preschool! Something about heading off to the big school makes this mom business seem all that more real. Jaden was really excited (and a little nervous too) about the 1st day of school. Of course we took lots of pictures to remember this milestone in his life forever!:)
celebrating with big brother on his big 1st day!
proud mom
and a proud dad too
off to school we go
Brielle wanted to line right up with Jaden and the rest of his class when the bell rang:)
Off he goes, go get 'em buddy!
We took Jaden to a Diamondbacks game his first week of school to celebrate this exciting time in his life. We had a great time!
Miss Brielle started preschool soon after, and was so excited to be going to school just like big brother.
It's been so great to see the kids learn so quickly. Jaden was waiting for us to come read him a story before bed, and found this math page to do while he waited. The kid totally aced it! Who knew!?! Bri has caught on to all her letters/sounds and has started to spell words. I love seeing them enjoy learning:)
Jaden had fun dressing up for Spirit week. The last day was Western day, and happened to fall on 9/11 and so he posed with his get-up next to our flag:) He was sure to display his own flag too;)
Bri likes to be included too:)
grateful for a day to reflect on such an important day in our country's history
That night, we had a blast at Jaden's school's Welcome Back Hoe-Down. We all dressed for the occasion and Bri was working the camera for sure!
and Jaden too!
Cody joined in the pie-eating contest:)
I love that Brielle is plugging her nose!
He didn't take home the prize, but the pie was pretty good!
Bri waited in line for almost an hour, but was bound and determined to have Elsa paint an Olaf on her face:)
she loved it:)
pony rides
checking out this beauty (the principal and a few teachers actually kissed this piggy to reward the kiddos for reaching their fundraising goals!)
It was a long day, and this guy played hard! He zonked as soon as he reached his room after bath time.
This guy had a great 1st quarter excelling academically and also in receiving perfect attendance recognition at the awards ceremony:)
and gotta love school photos!:)
We sure love school!
