Memorial Day

We got to spend some time Memorial Day weekend at the Houston National Cemetery putting flags on all of the service men and women's graves. It was a humbling and awesome opportunity and we were so happy to get to participate. We got to talk to the kids about all of it, I hope the kids learned a little and understood a little more about all of the sacrifices made for them and their country. Pretty awesome to see the whole place, 60,000+, with flags and remembrance. Thank you to all who have served to protect our country and freedom. 

Fun!

McDonalds's for icecream at midnight! We've given up!! 

Fun with friends :)

Just Some Fun at the Zoo!

When Rachel and Livy were not in school yet we used to go to the zoo all the time. Colt and Ellie haven't been but once maybe so when I asked them something about the zoo and Colt said he thought there were just cows there, then I knew it was time to get these two there! I forgot it had been so long and just assumed they knew about zoos!

We took a few trips to the zoo in May and they loved seeing all the animals and riding the carousel. The last week of school we skipped one day and the girls got to come with us, they thought that was the coolest!

The girls loved taking pictures of all the animals but this was their favorite.

Fall 2014 Back to School!

Meet the teacher! The girls were excited and nervous going to meet their teacher for 2nd grade and see their new classrooms! This was the first year that they were in separate classrooms and they were a little apprehensive about it but also excited to have "their own friends." 

Mrs. Groover's Class

Mrs. Britton's Class

She was kind of nervous once she saw her friends from last year weren't in her class so she needed a little hug!

2nd Grade hallway! Cute Colt doesn't know what they are doing and gave me a strait arm wave!

Next was meet the teachers at preschool! Ellie loved that she got to go to school this year and that they had so many fun toys in there! She didn't want to leave! Colt loved his new room and that he knew some of the kids in his class from last year!
