August Excitement!

Summer is coming to a close so we are trying to fit in all the swim time that we can. Here are the boys swimming with their buddy Kai. They were standing on the side of the pool jumping in and having a blast!

The BIG news is that Jayson and Justin started Kindergarten!!!! I am such a proud mommy. I cried the night before while reading a sweet poem their teachers wrote for them but I had no tears at school while dropping them off. I was too excited and proud to cry. Here are a bunch of photos of the first day of school.

Jayson cuteness all ready for school

Walking to class...

Here is a bumpy video I took while walking... They boys drop off Jayson first then Justin continues on to class.

Here we are with Justin

Justin quickly makes a friend. His name is Chase and he lives down the street from us!

Back to Jayson's class to say goodbye

They made it home...on the school bus!!!! Such big boys!

The boys LOVE Kindergarten already. It has been such an easy transition for them and they are making new friends and becoming their own little dudes. I am so happy they are in separate classes and that we waited to start them until this year.

In other news, we just made a trip to West. Here are the boys with their fishing hats on ready to go feed the fish with PaPa.

In other Big news was Jonathan and Lauren's engagement party in West. My mom did an awesome job decorating and planning such a fun party. Lauren's family is so much fun too. There were 5 guitars, a mandolin, and a harmonica playing until almost 2am. We sang and had a wonderful time.

A funny game my mom had them play. She asked a series of questions and they
had to raise the shoe of the one who was "most likely to..." once they get married. Notice the poster boards in the background. They were covered in pictures of Jonathan and Lauren through the years. It really was a neat party.

Such a fun month! This week Ryan starts preschool so I hope that goes well and he enjoys his new routine. It should be interesting! He will be turning 2 in October which is just right around the corner. The fun just never ends!
