Pictures of Vi's 1st Day

Violet's first day went great.  When she arrived, she was a little freaked out (as one can see in picture 2), but when Lyla got there she was fine.  Eric said when he got at the school to pick her up, she didn't want to leave.  She had a blast! She talked about how she caught a yellow fish and she was SO proud of her boat that she painted.  She had such a proud look on her face when she showed me her creation.  She looked at me and said, "Well, what do you think, mama?"  It was so priceless.  We will see how day 2 goes next Tuesday.  Her teacher said that usually kids do fine that first day, but sometimes the 2nd and 3rd time are the hardest.  I think having Lyla there made Violet feel at ease.  Overall, I think preschool was a success!

1st day of school FINALLY arrived!

This school year started late as they were re-building the high school. I remember starting school in Sept. back in the old days ha! This year we hope & pray that it is a good one ~Max has Mrs. Wilson (she is the teacher he wanted) for 4th grade and Zachary is taking all kinds of wonderful college prep classes this year. I can't believe Zach is in 11th grade yes a Junior um... it is hard for me to even think about~ I am so happy that we are starting a new season of life I cannot express how difficult this summer was for me. Not only did I loose a friend and sister, there were broke down cars, cars on fire, flat tires, neck surgeries and ok I won't go on because... I am looking forward TODAY~ to difficulties and blessings that this new season will bring to us. Happy Fall and WELCOME back school :)

Fancy Christmas PARTY

Max's teacher Mrs. Knight has a fancy fancy dinner at her house every year! The kids have been talking about this since the first of the year! Well, it was so nice they got to ride a school bus to her house and it was set up beautiful. All of us homeroom Mom's cooked and served the food and drinks :) Then after the fancy dinner and Christmas carols we went to the game room and played games and exchanged gifts. The children had such a good time :) All the other kids in the school were jealous that they had this fancy smancy lunch :)

Down here at the BUS STOP

Max and his GANG waiting for the bus. They leave out like 20 minutes early so they can run and play before the bus comes.

The boys are so lucky to live next to sooo many friends ;) Zach and Colton have to stand off to the side so they don't look like they hang out with the little fellas. Zach has chosen to turn his football helmet for track shoes (thank goodness), maybe he will be like his birthday twin Ben :). Zach is going to make me get up every Saturday and run with him!! So far the boys love their teachers. We think it will be a GREAT year.

School Bell BLUES

The boys were up early today! Max is super excited b/c he got the teacher he wanted Mrs. Knight :) Zach is super excited b/c his best friend Colton will be going to Plainview this year! I think this is going to be an AWESOME school year for everyone ;) Aunt Tara I hope you day goes wonderful!!!

Go Indians ;)
