Boys in the Hood

Neighbors make all the difference in the world. I am blessed with wonderful neighbors.. they make life so much better. These boys are all 6 months apart..(yes, Jackson is only 6! ) This is a normal day for them, I just had to catch them in action!

First tooth and First Day of School

WE had an exciting night.. Wyatt finally let me pull his bottom tooth. It has been loose for a while, and the other tooth was already 1/2 way grown in (I am sure this indicates we will need some sort of dental work down the road, I remember Zach saying his dad had to trade a car in for his teeth.. ) So I yanked it and it was out. Finally. We  left the tooth fairy a glass of water and I guess she dipped her wing in there bc it was blue with glitter in the morning. Emily June has been trying to pull out her NOT loose teeth every since! She really does believe she is a fairy. I just tell her God gave her wings to fly and help others, maybe one day she will understand that! Until then, she sprinkles herself with pixie dust(glitter) and flies around the house at night (so she says.)
This morning was the first day of school, it was easy.. no drama. Kids were excited and I was happy to see them just walk into class and sit right down. We are blessed with wonderful teachers this year. I did ask them some questions last week to see down the road how much they change... I hope to ask these questions every year!

 First Day

 Tucked inside her pocket was a special note from Mommy and Daddy in case she got lonely, she knew we were thinking about her.

 Pre K 4 " She wants to be a mermaid and a princess"  when she grows up.

 My big Kindergartener! So proud of him.

 Wyatt wants to grow up to be a "Fighter Jet Pilot" 

 Yes, those are pink suede boots with fringe in 95 degree weather. You pick your battles!

Last week of Summer 2012

 My future Mia, She is a little disappointed the team is the purple daises and not pink!

 Pose for the camera!

 I LOVE SOCCER!

 This is at Wyatt's practice, the girl gang... too bad they are not very cute!

 Meet the teacher 2012!

 Playdate with Lizzy...

Wyatt has declared it a  new tradition to have pizza on the last day of summer, I agree. I love traditions, even the silly small ones. I am actually very sad this year is starting. I am really trying to not display that too much to the kids, but this one is a hard one for me. Wyatt starts kindergarten and EJ will go 5 days to prek-4. I will pull her out on Wednesdays to do CBS with me, but still... I already miss the time with my kids. It is the reality that the last 6years have flown by and before I know it 6 more then, 6 more and they are gone! There is also the selfish concern of "what amd I going to do with my time while they are gone?" I feel I have more in me to just stay at home, yet I want to be able to be there at 2 to pick them up and have the after school madness begin. I am struggling! Regardless, the kids are excited and have great teachers. The last week of summer involved Sissy's first soccer practice (might be the cutest group of girls I have scene on a soccer team!) and meet the teacher. Wyatt started soccer again on his same team, Zach is still coaching them and was excited to see everyone.  Stay posted for back to school pictures! The clothes battles have already begun!
