First Day of School!

This is an exciting school year because Mason starts Kindergarten at Roberts!  Daddy and I have been looking forward to having both kids at the same school for a couple years and the time has finally arrived!

A couple days before school, we attended orientation at Roberts.  Both kids were excited to meet their teachers and although things didn't work out the way I expected, I think it's going to be a great year!

 3rd Grade!
 Kindergarten!

Kate and Mason were very excited about the first day of school.  I was a little nervous that Mason would get upset because he had been very emotional the last week at Good Samaritan, thinking about leaving that school and going to a new one.  But thankfully there were no tears!  His friend Annabelle is in his Kindergarten class and there are a couple other GSA friends that are at Roberts too so he has lots of friendly faces! 


 I can't believe he's in Kindergarten!
 Growing up so fast!

 Aunt Katie moved up to Third Grade this year and she is right next door to Kate's class!
 Kate and her teacher, Ms. Homme.
Mason and his teacher, Ms. Doyle.  
Garrett and I actually went to elementary and high school together so it's wonderful having her as his teacher this year (her first year at Roberts).  

Both of our kids lucked out with great teachers and we are excited to see what the school year holds!

Happy Birthday, Granddaddy!

My dad recently celebrated his birthday and the kids enjoyed making homemade cards for him this year.  They are so creative and I love seeing what they come up with!

It was a treat to see Granddaddy on his birthday!  He and Mason enjoyed a special birthday breakfast together before my dad dropped him off at daycare.
And to continue the birthday celebration, Uncle Jordan and I met dad for lunch at BJs!
Happy birthday, Dad!  We love you!

Summer 2018

It's hard to believe summer is over!  Kate attended summer camp at Killearn and Mason stayed at Good Samaritan and in between work and summer camp we managed to squeeze in some fun!
 Swimming at Camden's!
 VBS at church! This year's theme was Joy by the Sea.
 Daddy took us out on the boat too!



 We pulled up to an island and found some neat things while we explored.



Kate and Daddy even caught a flounder!
 Cheering mommy and Mrs. Marleni at the Firecracker 5K at Cascades Park on the 4th of July!


 More swimming!
 Snow cones at summer camp.
 Swimming lessons!  These two both did a great job and worked hard!

 Emily, Kate and Anna Kate - Killearn besties.
 Cheering on Anna Kate at a local swim meet!
 Enjoying a movie on a hot afternoon.
We attended the Crews/Sapp family reunion at the end of July in Lake Butler, FL.  No one else was able to join us this year but I'm glad we went!

The summer went by quickly but we are looking forward to the fall!

Happy Father's Day!

I want to wish this special guy a Happy Father's Day!  One day Kate and Mason will realize how lucky they are to call him dad.  He coac...
