HI-HO, HI-HO, IT'S OFF TO SCHOOL I GO. . .

It's very hard to believe that today is the first day of first grade. On Tuesday night, we went down and met my new teacher, Mrs. Wolfe. She is very upbeat and has a busy year planned for us. I am so excited to go that I had a hard time falling asleep last night. Well, I better get going. Its going to be a great first day.

Camping Trip

This is the last weekend before Jacob starts 1st Grade, so we decided to have a camp out in the back yard. It was really fun; we had s'mores, played games and read stories, and Jacob and Lilly were "camper dancers". I hope you enjoy watching the show!

The rest of our week...

This is to prove that not all girls are afraid of getting a little dirty.....

....or of holding slimy frogs.

Jacob caught dinner!!!!....................for Lilly's frog.

Our Day...

Whew! We had a busy day. First, we built moats and swimming pools in the sand in Ridgway. Then we went to the bowling alley with some friends. Lilly gave the owner a run for his money as he had to keep fetching her ball for her in the middle of the lane where it stalled. This evening we went to the BMX track. This is fast becoming Jacob's new hobby. He had his first race tonight and he even got a medal. Lilly is probably the world's smallest BMXer. She proudly rode her tricycle (with lots and lots of help) up and down the hills. Well, we are all worn out now...or at least I am. We love you, Ryan. Have a safe trip home.

New school clothes...

Sorry it has been so long....

But, boy have we been busy! We have had friends over almost every single day. But tonight we made an apple pie together from some apples we picked at the park. Two baths, two loads of dishes, one load of laundry and one exhausted daddy later, and we have ourselves a pie! So come on over and have a piece!
