First Grade!!!

After an amazing summer, we were all actually really excited to get back in the swing of things and start school.  Jacob loves school but he was definitely a little nervous about first grade.  Thursday before school started, Nathan brought the boys up to school for meet the teacher and when I talked with Jacob afterwards he said (about his teacher), "I knew I had seen her in the halls before!!".  At that point, he was feeling a little better but was still anxious to see what friends he would have in class.

Monday morning came bright and early and I got to work at 7 o'clock.  Nathan finished getting the boys ready (it was Jonah's first day in his new classroom, too!) and brought them up to school. Luckily, they came to my classroom before heading down the hall to first grade so I was able to give him one last boost of confidence.

The week was busy and exhausting for all of us, but Jacob had a great time!  He loooooves his teacher and I know it's going to be such a great challenge for him!  I say it time and time again, but I am so blessed to work at his school.  I love seeing him at assemblies and randomly in the hallway.  I also love knowing his teacher and being able to touch base with her to see how he's doing!

The fall season is one of our favorites, with lots of fun things to do!  Now we just need the temperature to drop!!!

The Sunday before school started, we met the Cooleys at the club for a special back to school brunch.  These boys love handing out and playing outside when we're done!

Sitting at his desk (he was so excited to have his own desk instead of a table like in Kindergarten) and ready to learn!  Too bad you can't see his cute green shorts and gray Converse!!

With his awesome teacher, Mrs. Fanning.  This year, our school theme is Superheroes, so all the teachers wore Superhero tshirts the first day of school.

Are you a cry baby?


Summer Fun

Summer is coming to a close and as always, it flew by far too quickly!  This has probably been one of our best summers to date.  We didn't plan any big vacations, but enjoyed plenty of time around town! 

We spent a LOT of time at the pool...






















Ate yummy breakfasts together...






Played games and dress up...





Enjoyed our backyard...












Had Jacob's first sleepover...








Spent the morning at Hawaiian Falls...





And went to the circus!!!









It truly was a fabulous summer!  I am sad to see it end, but also really excited about the new school year and fun fall activities that will be coming up soon!!

Captain Jake

Last weekend we visited Grandaddy and CiCi at the lake.  We enjoyed getting out of town and spending plenty of time in the pool!  On Saturday afternoon, Grandaddy rented a boat for everyone to enjoy.  I stayed behind at the house to let Jonah nap while everyone else spent some time on the lake.  Jacob was a little frightened at first (the last time he was on a boat was probably three years ago and he didn't really remember) but warmed up quickly.  He even helped steer the boat!

Sports Camp

Jacob had a blast attending sports camp at the club this past week.  The camp ran from 10-2 which gave Jonah and I some much needed one on one time together!  Jacob learned how to play golf and tennis, then ate lunch at the pool and had swim time with friends.  He loved it and looked forward to each and every day!!

Excited for his first day of sports camp!  He's growing up so fast!!




Enjoying some pool time with friends!

No day at the pool is complete without snacks!



Ready for day 2



Jacob loved spending time with these two sweet boys!



Last day of sports camp!
Silly boys ready for fun!!
