Kindergarten!

The day started with an excited boy eating a nutritious bowl of Cinnamon Life.

Doesn't he look so grown up?

Don't be fooled, although he looks nervous and terrified- this is his excited face.

After missing the bus (yes, on the first day of school- I know that's a bad start) we drove over and I had to get this shot of Ty following (and sometimes leading) Karter down the sidewalk.

Look at him! When did he grow up?
I'm just still getting used to this school idea., especially full day.

This is Ms. Ledin- his teacher

Karter, in line with friend, River.
We didn't go inside, they line up by class and then go inside together.

And then there was one.
Wow, was it a much quieter day at our house.
But I loved my quality time with Ty.

Karter was VERY excited to ride the bus, and Ty was VERY excited just to see a bus.
Here we are at the bus stop, waiting...

....and waiting.....

Yea!!

He made it!

And he had the BEST day! I think we might just send him back tommorrow.

Idaho fun!

We loved our 2 week vacation to Idaho so much! We started off at the cabin in Island Park. Karter loved spending time with great Grandpa Arritt- polishing rocks, washing the car, driving the boat and driving the golf cart.
The rest of our time was spent at Papa and Namnam's, where we got to see a lot of family and friends. We went to the mountains and had a picnic. Karter loved wading the stream with Brooke and Aunt Kelsie, and Ty loved throwing pepples into the water. We also did some golfing, shopping and watch making!
At the end of our trip we went to Utah for the wedding of Aunt Diane. It was beautiful!
We had such a great time and were so glad to see everyone we got a chance to see! I love when my kids get to spend time with grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins! Hopefully someday we'll be able to live even closer!

"The Best Day Ever!"

I still can't believe it, but today Karter turned 5!! Be prepared for a lot of pictures because we had a lot of fun! On Saturday, he had a water party with his friends (the water balloons and water rocket were the favorites of the day). We were also lucky to have Papa and Nam nam and Grandma Bell with us! After the party we drove to Denver to see the Braves play the Rockies! We had great seats and the weather was awesome all day.
For Karter's actual birthday, we went with Gma Bell to Chuck-E-Cheese! (Ty enjoyed all of the birthday fun too!)

Summer fun!

I love summer!! These pics start out with the 4th- a children's parade on the circle in front of our house, picnic, and a pose with Papa and Namnam before going out to watch the fireworks.
Next are pictures of our fun time bowling with Papa and Namnam, and also pictures of playing at the playarea in the mall.
And last but not least, are pictures of our fun time at the spray park with friends.
