First day of school

Taylor and McKay are both enjoying school this year.

We had our first quarter conferences. Taylor has staight A's and she's reading on a 4th grade level. We couldn't be happier. The teacher says, "Taylor is a joy to have in the classroom. She is the perfect student". We are so proud of her. She's the same way at church and at home.

McKay really loves school. I knew he would. I haven't heard one complaint about going to school. It's never "I don't want to go to school". He always comes home and has something to say about what happened or what he's learning about. He sings me all his songs. I love how much he shares with me about his day. He's one good behavior at school and loves getting stickers at the end of the day for being good.

We've had problems with him throwing away his lunch at school and lying about it. And he's lied to his teacher a few times about his lunch. But these problems are

My beautiful 2nd grader!!

We went coastal camping this summer with some friends, just before school was about to begin. The campground was really wet and freezing. The kids had a blast in the wet and the freezing.

Chillin at campground
Our good friends and neighbors. Love these people!
All of us at the beach! Benson LOVED the seagulls. He was determined to catch one. He also liked crawling in the water. .. and the sand was tasted a bit much as well.
Here's all the camping kiddos. Why didn't we take one with everyone, I don't know.
I need a photographer to follow me around where ever I go.
My blog would be much more detailed and exciting for sure!!

Terrible picture, but here's another one at the cold and wet campground.
Mt. Madonna State Park. Good times with good friends.

Such a great big sis

I am the cutest baby on the planet. Hands down!

Spencer attempted a beard this summer... It didn't quite suit him.
This was Maren's first choice shirt this summer.
Matchy-matchy! Camo!
