1st Day of Kindergarten

Today we sent Jackson off to Kindergarten. He was totally excited & ready. At the bus stop he was the first to get on. I think he was so excited to ride the bus, he forgot to give me kisses or say goodbye. Guess I'd rather have it that way than him clinging on me.

When the bus dropped him off at 4pm (normally 3:30pm) he was happy to see me and told me he missed me. They read the book the Gingerbread Baby in class and then found a note & crumbs left by the Gingerbread Boy. The series of notes led them on to the cafeteria, nurses room and school office. When they arrived back at their class, there were gingerbread cookies for each kid to enjoy.

One funny comment he said was - wow mom, we don't get home till dinnertime. :)

Our 1st ER visit

Yes, it has finally happened. We visited the ER last Friday (which I'm sure will not be the last time, but we can hope). Brady fell on a piece of a bookshelf I was in the middle of putting together. Of course I feel bad it was left out. He fell off backwards out of the chair and put a 2 inch gash into the side of the head. Needless to say it was a bit crazy. Luckily Travis' mom was there 5 minutes after it happened. So after 3 hours in the ER we came home with 3 staples in the side of his head. CRAZY!!

Crusin thru August

Well, time is flying thru August and we're well on our way towards school starting up. What have we been up to lately?
Natural Science Museum Visit - We had a great time going to the butterfly exhibit for the first time. Wow, it was beautiful. It made for some nice images for Trav to capture on video...and turn into a work project. :) The different colors of the butterfly's were so awesome.












Silly Boys - Guess the summer heat has got to us. After being in the pool enough, we've come up with some interesting ways to spend the day. One afternoon we put silly stickers all over ourselves. I had them on my toe nails for a few days. Here the boys had them all over. Also, just having some fun playing in the tub.
