Family Pictures

We just had our family pictures taken last weekend, by an amazingly creative woman, they turned out great so here are a few of my favorites!

First Day of School 2011

I have to say I'm horrible about making a big deal about the first day of school. Once you're past kindergarten it seems to lose the excitement, but anyways I still make sure to get a picture for our family history.

This year Ashleigh is in 5th grade, and loves it. She is looking forward to going to Sherman Lake Camp in a few weeks. It's apparently a big deal that all the 5th graders get excited about. I think it's because they get to be away from regular school for 3 days and just play and have fun!

Carter started 3rd grade, as always he is not a big fan of school, but he has a great teacher who loves science. She has definitely sparked an interest in school for Carter with her experiments and fun projects. He will be doing a photosynthesis play in a month! (BTW don't you just love the shirt Carter chose to wear for his first day of school!)

It's time for Preschool

Hannah started preschool this year. She has been so excited to go to school like Ash and Carter, and can I just say I have been just as equally excited for her to go! I'm loving the peace and quiet, it's been great for studying.

Here she is on her first day, she thought is was so great that she could bring her favorite stuffed animal. She had planned to take her puppy Jessica, but she ended up spilling her juice on her. Lucky for Hannah Ashleigh has the same puppy, so Hannah was content to take Ashleigh's puppy.

Notice she has a different outfit on in this picture! That is because she got to have John and I go with her the day before she started and we got to explore the classroom. She was so proud of herself for being able to find everything on the treasure hunt map.

She has been loving every minute of school, and wishes she could go everyday to see her teacher Mrs. Huberty, who is so awesome, it takes a special person to have patience with 3 yr. olds!
