First Day of School 2010

Today is the first day of school!! All the kids were excited about going back! They all had a few friends in their classes and were happy with the teachers they got! They all got up and got themselves ready!!! I didn't have to do hardly anything! What a treat that was!!!! :)
Tyson is almost 10, just one more month! He starts 4th grade this year!! It seems so weird to me that when we moved to Katy, Kailee was starting 4th grade! Time goes by way too fast! He is in Mrs. Phillips class. She is new to King Elementary this year. She was very nice when we met her and Tyson is excited to be in her class. She will teach the Math & Science and he will go to Mrs. Serna-Fraga for Reading & Writing.
He is like a mini Shawn! He looked so cute in his skinny jeans that he was so excited to buy!!! What a cutie! Couldn't ya just eat those cheeks up!!!
Kyler Jake...I will miss him during the day! I can't believe my baby is in 2nd grade! He is 7 1/2 years old!!! WHAT?! He was pretty sad to say goodbye to Bella this morning! He will be in Mrs. Smith's class. She was the teacher I was hoping he would get so we are thrilled to have her this year!! I am not sure why Kyler got such a kick out of this shirt but he loved it when we found it at the store!
sweet, sweet, sweet boy!!!
Austin is too old, too tall and growing up much to quickly for me! He is starting 8th grade and is 13 1/2 years old. He is happy to be back at the top of the food chain at school this year! He like the classes he got and found some friends in his classes! I asked him this morning if he was nervous..."Nope" he said! He is so laid back these days! He is excited to try out woodshop this year for one of his electives! While we were driving to school he said "5.0 GPA here I come!"
fire power
Kailee is almost 15!!! I almost have a driver! She started high school today! {scary!!!} She also started seminary this morning! Shawn took her...I am a pretty good mom but I have said for years that driving to seminary is not in my job description! Been there, done that! She loved it though...I will post pics of her later today when she gets home!! I know, I am a a bad...I didn't get up at 5:30 to take pictures of her! She can have after her first day pics! She was nervous and anxious when Shawn dropped her off this morning. As she was getting out of the car though, a group of the kids from seminary saw her and waved and called her over to walk in with them so she was fine after that and I am sure she will have a great first day!!!

Piano Buddies

How cute are these two? Adam and Kyler have been buds for years now! They both have recently developed a love for all things Star Wars! They have also both started piano lessons. Last night Adam was over for a late night and Kyler and him decided to play their songs for each other.
playing Mary had a Little Lamb together
They were darling playing their songs!!

My (not so) Little Chefs

After a day of baking and pizza making
Austin wanted to make homemade pizzas for dinner! Of course, who says no to a dinner they don't have to cook?!! Not I. He made the dough and did a great job! The pizza was yumm-o!!
Last week Tyson and I made sugar cookies together! He asked Melissa Gleason if she would share her recipe with us. She agreed and also shared the recipe for the frosting...that is a must have!!! We told her we would bring her some cookies in return and see if we got the Melissa and Zack seal of approval!!? (he did!) Ty did a fantastic job! He had so much fun in the kitchen! The hardest part was waiting to be able to roll out the dough and do the fun part! I bought him a new "french" rolling pin. He insisted that we needed one. Who am I to argue with the chef? I can't wait for Ty to start his cooking class tomorrow...this month is cookie month!!!
