1st Day of school 2015-2016

On Aug 12th we started a new fun year of school. This year, all three older kiddos attend the same school which is sooooo nice.  They woke up about 1.5 hrs before time to leave and were so excited to go see their friends again!  

Always gotta get the mongo sized backpack picture!

Love these kiddos!

Kinley wanted to go so bad. (She starts preschool tomorrow!  Smiles!!)

Hunter is now 8 yo and started 3rd grade.  He has Ms. Silva and is pretty excited to be the older brother at school. He loves to read, play with Legos, ride bikes, hike, learn about animals, and much more.

Kailyn is 7 yo and started 2nd grade. She has Ms. Eaton and her class has many of her same friends from last year. She was pretty excited about that!  Kailyn loves to draw (especially elephants), do gymnastics, swim, sing, and play with her barbies and friends.

Alton just turned 6 yo and is in Kindergarten. He has Ms. Wienke and there are several friends from church in his class.  He was super excited to be going to school with his older siblings and getting to ride the bus. Alton loves any sport with a ball (especially soccer), gymnastics, playing with Legos and pestering Hunter. He is always the ham in the pictures and my bundle of energy!

This one is kind of normal!

Las Sendas elementary bound!

Kinley joins is crew.

Yay for school!!!  Not sure what Alton was doing. Smiles!

Finally got a great smile from him.

We went over to the grass and had a jumping party! Here are a few of their favorite celebration jumps.

Handsome Hunter!

Hunter wanted me to take a few last poses before taking the other's pictures.

Kissing his arm muscles. Oh my goodness! He cracks me up.

Beautiful Kailyn!

She looks like an angel.

Pre-jump.

Taking off.

Almost there!

She did it!

Awesome Alton!  Pure joy and freedom.

Playing golf as he jumped! So silly!!!!

Kinley wanted her turn.

Her-haw!

Her creative poses.

Cute girls.

They had a wonderful first day of school and are doing great!!! That night, we were sitting at the table and Alton came downstairs with this awesome outfit on.

Kinley too.

Speaking of Kinley, she started preschool last week! She was so excited to get to go to school like the others. She only goes two days a week.  I was pretty sad when I dropped her off the first day.  What to with with myself and no kids!?!?!

I could not get her to look at the camera.

She had a fun first day of school also!

More silly first week of school pictures!

All kisses for Mr. Elephant!

Little miss personality!

Kinley did a Johnny Appleseed unit at preschool. She was so proud of her hat!

So many different faces!

Kinley and her little friend, Max, went to run errands with me. We went to the car dealership to pick up my car and when I turned around after checking out, they had found these cute hats.  They were so proud of themselves.
