Swimming Lessons

I am trying to catch up on my blogging. I am SUPER behind on it so forgive me while I catch up.

This summer we put Mason and Kinley in swimming lessons. They both loved it and did awesome. They would both stay at the pool and swim all day if we would let them. They both made so much progress and Mason can now swim on his own and Kinley is getting braver and willing to try a lot more.

My Sweet Little Girl

I realized how long it has been since I posted some pictures of Taylee. She has changed so much and is getting so big. Her personality is really showing lately. She makes the funniest faces and is constantly making us laugh. She loves her brother and sister and is always trying to keep up with them and wants to do everything they do!

First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe today was Mason's first day of school. He has been so excited to start school and could hardly wait. We have been counting down for a couple weeks now. Before school he had to have a special first day breakfast. Which he decided was waffles and grapes. Go figure I guess it's the breakfast of champions. Whatever it takes. He had an awesome day and said he loved it. He looked so old walking into his class with the rest of the kids. He looks huge and is a good couple inches taller than most of the kids. He did great and said he wasn't nervous at all. When I asked him if he was scared he just looked at me and said Mom, it's just Kindergarten. Silly me. I think Chris and I had the back to school jitters for him last night. I must admit after we dropped him off I got a little teary eyed. I just can't believe how fast these last 5 years have flown by next thing I know we'll be dropping him off at high school. Let's hope he always loves school this much!!

Family Pictures

We have been so busy with the holidays that I haven't had a chance to post our new family pictures. While we were home for Thanksgiving hanging out with my family and eating tons of good food. My friend Carolyn who took the pictures of Taylee did new family pictures of my whole family. It was so fun. She came to my Mom and Dad's house and just did them there. Which was perfect with the kids. Anyone with kids knows how stressful pictures can be!! We were able to get ready and then just do the pictures right then. Instead of getting ready, driving and then when you arrive having to redo all the hair and clothes because the kids have wrestled around and ruined it all. She let the kids do their own thing and it was a blast. Here are some of our favorites.
