1st Day of School

Kids went back to school yesterday (woo hoo!)

Riley's now a big 2nd grader!


Cade is going to do the Pre-K program (again). Because of his birthday he should start Kindergarten this year but we are going to wait to start him until next year... so he'll be the oldest in his class now. I take him at 1 and he comes home on the bus at 4. During which time Brooke naps so I have really good mommy and J.P time.


Here's all the bus stop kids...


Don't know who is happier, the kids or the moms?
(Hint...It's the moms. We we're so giddy we practically all skipped to the bus stop!)


I didn't have the problems I had last year letting them go...guess I have my hands full at home. I was super excited to see them come home though. I asked Cade what special treat he wanted after school and he told me, "potato chip cookies" Potato chip cookies? he meant chocolate chip cookies. And they were waiting for him when they got home.

I just tried to watch Cade's video and it looks way too dark on my screen. I hope you are able to see it.

Adorable little ones...

The 3 oldest were all in Wade's cousin's wedding this past weekend.
They were all so adorable and actually behaved themselves exceptionally well!

Riley was a Jr. Bridesmaid

Brooke the flower girl, and Cade the ring bearer.

J.P. went too...

Of course, the kids favorite part was the dancing. Check out this video of Cade. We may have to rename him J.B. (for Mr. James Brown)...Would that be confusing? JP and JB?

ps. I don't know what happened to the audio but you can see why he was the star of the dance floor.

The whole family...how lucky am I?
