First day of school for Haley, Noah & Brody!!!

Even though we woke up to pouring rain and thunderstorms the kids all had a GREAT first day of school!!!

Haley 3rd Grade

Noah Kindergarten

Brody First day at daycare in the Fireflys room! (Same room Noah started at at this school!) 

We didn't get to walk to the bus stop due to the rain but I still snapped a pictures on our way!

One of them was not quiet ready to wake up at 6am today and barely made it out the door to come with us to the bus stop ;-)

And they are off...

Brody and I came back home for a few more snuggles since Noah told me he didn't need me to come to his school

for one last picture in his classroom like I did for Haley. Guess he's too BIG for that kind of stuff now =(

Haleys first day of Kindergarten!! Same teacher as Noah!!! She's awesome!!

Brodys turn!!! He was nervously excited!!!!

Can't you tell how sad he is about leaving me? ;-)

No issues even going into the early morning classroom! He will go into his classroom in about 15 min when more kids and teachers arrive!

Brody did AMAZING!!! Went straight in and started playing right away! After a min or two he came back over and gave us each hugs and a kiss and waived good bye! Guess that was our cue to leave...lol. Again clearly he was not ready for this ;-)

Yay first day is over and this Momma could not wait to hear how everyone's first days went!!

Time to go get Brody early from school!! Poor guy was still napping!

First day at school!

Whoohooo we all survived the first day, let's celebrate!!!

Noahs kindergarten round up & Haleys open house complete!

Some excited kiddos here!!! Brody couldn't understand why he couldn't get on the bus with Noah.

Our attempt at a group selfie!

Here it comes!!!

On the bus with Mommy!

All the other Kindergartners on his bus!

Signing his name in his classroom and look he has the same teacher (Ms. Kuriger) that Haley did in Kindergarten!!!!!! I could not be more pleased with the teachers both Haley and Noah got this year!!!

Haley and Reagan at open house!! These girls have been in the same class for the last 3 years now and are so excited about their sweet teacher Mrs. Martin this year!

Whew next up.....first day of school for all 3 kids =O =O

Last days of summer break =(

Wow i really think that was the fastest summer yet! 

Noah and Wills last day at Goddard before starting Kindergarten this week! Bitter sweet of course as I know Noah is definitely ready but why does time seem to go so fast with these kids?? Brody was there to drop them off and check out  his classroom as well and meet his teacher for the first time! Yes, that's right...the time has come for Brody to start school as well. He was a social butterfly meeting everyone that day. He walked in waiving to all his new friends and teacher and then went and just sat down and started playing with them on the rug! Such a big boy!

3 years earlier when Haley and Emma (Will's sister) had their last day at Willowbrooke together before starting Kindergarten =O

They may be at different schools but that's never slowed down their friendship!  Almost 9 years (since birth) together!!

Still cheering together too!

Noah and Will playing basketball together along with soccer and flag football!

Brody about to go into his classroom!

2nd to last day with Papa

One of many naps Brody has convinced Papa to sleep on his floor next to his bed till he falls asleep! Soooo sweet!!!! I love how Brody watches Papa until he can't keep his eyes open any longer! That's serious commitment to agree to sleep on hardwood floors for a 2yr old! 

Later that day we visited Papa at the docks for a relaxing evening on the water!

The lake is just beautiful!! It's everyone's happy place! These pictures were taken from the night before when Clayton and I took Emma and Will's parents (Ben and Mandi) on the lake with us!

Headed to dinner!

Tied up our friends!

Good morning!!

Thank you Papa for sleeping over with the kids so we could enjoy this beautiful morning! Looks like everyone had fun with Grabdma and Papa playing cards and eating ice cream!

Last Sunday before school starts and Noah got to have an ice cream party at our club house and meet the new principle as well as 17 other kindergarteners from just our neighborhood! 

Who's ready??? Not ME!!! 

School haircuts complete for these boys!
