Pre-K-first day of school!

First day of Kindergarten!!

First day of first grade!!! 

He was SO excited this morning! He would not stop screaming in excitement! THe best quote of the day was, "I had the wonderfullest day of my life!! They even had HALL PASSES!!!"

(Have you noticed I have a preference for red/blue first day clothes? This year he insisted that he did NOT want to wear a "church shirt on the first day!"..... AKA collared shirt)

Summer Highlights! (in no particular order;)

Bella had her first ballet recital in May! It was absolutely precious!!! She had her hand on her hips moving back and forth most of the time. She was SO proud of herself!!! And so were we!!

Trace was in Peter Pan! He played the part of Michael! He loved it! He had lines to memorize and a little solo to sing!!! He was a pro! Not nervous at all!

Bella's best friend from school had her bday party! Bella got to ride a pony for the first time!

Happy 4th of July!! We had fun celebrating with the Orr family!
