First Day of School

Aw my favorite time of year is here again.  The kids were up bright and early and ready for school. I am glad to let them go back and get back to learning and being with their friends.  It was a little bittersweet sending my Kenzie Kaye off to her first day of Kindergarten. She was a little nervous at first but was just fine when we got her there. 

With her glasses on because she is so cute with them:

Ryker had to pose too. He gets to stay home with mommy for one more year before he can start preschool.

yes I followed her to school (sniff sniff) ...

last effort at fun before school...

We thought we would go up and use our passes one last time before school started.  The kids are getting better and better at their mini golf games

One of these days I will win!

Girls + Ryker week

Dustin had to go to Arkansas for a week for work so we took the week to play around here.  We got hair appointments done

Trim and highlights for Haylee

 "tangled" (Rapunzel) haircut for Kenzie again.

 Ryker got a haircut by me recently so he is showing off too.

 and we sat around watching tv

 and Grandma Steck took each of the kids for a turn to stay with her during the week

The cutest ever was Ryker. On Saturday my mom dropped off Kenzie and went north school shopping with Landon. After she left Ryker had got his overnight bag out and was talking about going to grandma's. We told him that he would probably have to have a turn another time and we left it at that. My mom stopped in on her way back and literally seconds after she walked in Ryker came rolling his bag out and said he was ready to go. Oh the puppy face!!!  He was just so cute and so determined that it was his turn that bless her heart she took him. So he went to church with her today and I talked to him tonight on skype and then he called me later and wanted to come home but i talked him into waiting until tomorrow when Landon could bring him. Sweet boy!

Jayce goes to scout camp

Jayce got invited to attend the Timberline Leadership training camp. He was really excited to go and even better was that his uncle Landon was on staff and was able to be there and take some pictures for me.
