Superstar selfies!

Everyone loves a good selfie!

 Not much to report here! Boys are great! Loving school and both are doing so well! Caydin is working on learning his 1st grade sight word list. 

Wyatt is learning all his letters and sounds!

Caydin is back in soccer. He's loving it. The weather hasn't liked us lately so we've had quite a few cancelled soccer days!

Caydin is still addicted to construction stuff.

Mr. WYatt is asking for a train party! 

Happy Monday!

Grandpa is moving!!!

We could not be more excited about Grandpa moving here to Florida! He has always been travelling back and forth between Florida and Virginia for the past 7 years (at least!)

Welcome to Florida, Grandpa!

(The boys had a few minutes to play in the truck.  Not sure where they learned to pose the way they did!)

Caydin's 6th birthday set-up!

I finally took pictures off one of my cameras! :)

 

Construction Caydin requested yet another CONSTRUCTION birthday party.

With his birthday toward the end of July, we decided a construction POOL party would be perfect.

We had yellow, orange, and black decorations.

We blew up big tire floats for the pool!

And gave construction hats and construction rubber duckies to everyone.

We were set!

Weather was perfect. Caydin had a great time celebrating his special day with all his friends!

More pictures coming! (But don't hold your breath... me and blogging aren't good friends lately!)

 

Welcome to the family Rocky and Bella!

Our kitties.

Born May 31st.

Came home Aug 8th.

Bella is our girl kitty (black and brown).

Rocky is our boy kitty (orange).

 

We love them a lot!

Wyatt loves them a little too much sometimes.

 

1st Day of 1st Grade!

Summer ended. 

Alarms were set.

One little boy was woken up. 

That same little boy asked if he could stay home just one more day.

He also asked when next summer would start!

 

Breakfast was served.

Clothes were put on.

Teeth were brushed.

 

Then it was picture time!

Of course Wyatt needed to be in a picture!

I got a couple pictures of my big buddy who never looks at the camera!

And we were OFF TO SCHOOL!

 

We got to school with enough time to stop at McD's for a smoothie! Woot woot!

For the 2nd year in a row, my morning duty is the lunchroom. 

Last year, Caydin stayed pretty close to me in the morning until it was time to go to class.

 

Today, he told me he couldn't stay with me because he was in 1st grade now.  He was gone within minutes.  My baby.  Gone to class.  On his own.  With a smile.

 

Not my baby anymore.

 

 

And then I came home.  And saw my other baby.  Well, not really MY baby.  Wearing boys camouflage overalls!  And I almost died.  Not really though. 

 

She is supposed to be in pink and purple everything with little piggies in her hair and bows.  Lots of bows.  But no!  Camouflage!  BLAH!

 

Just kidding.  She is still cute.  I told her mommy she better be in pink tomorrow!

And just like that....

...my oldest baby is a first grader!

Tonight was "Meet the Teacher" night at school. 

Rob brought Caydin over to school to meet his 1st grade teacher Mrs. Rodriguez.

He was nervous (so I hear, I was working so I didn't get to see his reactions!)

His teacher is new to our school this year so he wasn't familiar with her! He wandered the room looking at all the differences between his old classroom and his new.

He doesn't say much now but I'm sure he will be talking like crazy about his class next week.

He was happy to see his K teacher and some of the other staff members that he didnt see this summer!

Did I mention that his best buddy is in his class again. He is so excited!
