First day of school

Ready or not here we go!!! Trevor started 6th grade, Ethan 4th, and Kate 1st. Our morning started out smoothly, all the kids laid their outfits out the night before. We got up and had breakfast made lunches and then we were out the door. They all wanted to get there early with plenty of time to see their friends and play.

It was fun to get there and see them so happy to be back at school. Kate was the only one who let me take a picture at her desk, and she was still a little camera shy. After we dropped Kate's backpack off we went to the black top play area. It was fun to sort of spy on the boys and see them with all their friends. Trevor is the big man on campus now being a 6th grader. He already found his entourage and came up to Kate with all his friends and gave her a high five, it was so cute and made Kate feel special. Ethan found his friends too, it was fun to see them in their element and brought back memories of my first day of school when I was a kid.

We spent the day in LA on Saturday and were able to go to the La Brea tar pits. Afterwards we went out to lunch and then to Ryan and Taryn's house. The kids had fun swimming. My parents were also there along with Joy and her kids. It was a great day and perfect way to end our summer.

Noah at 4 1/2 months. I love that his hair is coming in a little thicker. He is so much fun!

I am sad that Nate and Kate, once again are not in the same class. They'd probably be trouble together anyways, giggling through the entire day. Brock and Nate are soooo excited to walk with Trevor and Ethan, cute!
