First Day Of School

Ashlyn(5) starting Kindergarten, Lily(8) starting 3rd grade, Noah(11) starting 5th grade

 Our adorable little kindergartner!!

Ash with her teacher Mrs. Little outside lined up, and ready to start school!

Now for the first time in 6 years, I have every morning to myself...at least until the baby comes.

But still...it's crazy quiet here people!! Heaven.

Poor Sick Bug

Every since I started dating Brandon, he has had a nickname for Ash. He calls her "Bug."

I didn't like it at first, but somehow it has stuck to me now too, and we both call her that.

Well, last weekend Bug got a bug, and started throwing up at about 8p. Brandon and I gave her a bowl and put her on the couch by us so we could keep an eye on her until we went to bed. There was no way I was leaving our 5 year old upstairs while she was sick, that just screams disaster! (once we went upstairs we brought her with us, and put her next to us in bed...never leave a sick child unattended, that is how carpet get ruined!! haha)

She kept saying she wasn't tired, but we knew she was, and than within minutes she fell asleep looking like this...holding her throw up bowl.

Lily was bored...Brandon was tolerant

A few weeks ago, I was in the living room preparing my lesson for primary the nexy day, and I kept hearing giggling from Lily in the family room.

Moments later, my sweetheart came to show me this...

Lily's masterpiece!

She was really proud of herself that she could get so many stickers on Brandon.

 Simple pleasures.

Yardwork

Noah was helping Brandon do yard work and he thought he could get this tree stump out himself, so Brandon let him go at it. It took him awhile, but he finally got it!

He was so proud of himeself!
