1st day of school

Today was the 1st day of school. My kiddos were SO excited!! Olivia really is excited-- the sun was in her eyes.Michael boy.
At school ready to rock! 2nd grade here I come!
What a big 3rd grader!
Isaac taking pictures at the school....I swear he is gonna be a photographer.
Isaac was really sad and has had a hard day with his two best friends gone. It has been a sad day for me too, I didn't cry--I just miss my kiddos! But, Isaac and I have some fun things planned!! Happy First Day of School:)

Pack meeting with loads of belt loops

What a cutie! Michael has been working since he got his Cub Scout Wolf on getting some belt loops. We had pack meeting last week and he got 12! He pretty much rocks:) The theme this month was rain gutter regatta. They got to make boats and race them in rain gutters. So much fun!
Michael vs. Isaac
Great job:) Michael loves Cub Scouts and loves working hard on all of the projects!

Girl time!

I have been trying to do something ALONE with each of my kiddos each day. I have done this pretty regularly until the craziness of summer set in. I ENJOY spending time with my kids individually. They are amazing and I love them so much! So, Olivia and I decided it was time to paint some nails. We sit on the floor of my bathroom and do this--when I came in the bathroom, this is what I saw (above)--what a cutie!
Serious concentration.
Give em a good dry so they don't smear.
The finished product! Mine are rainbow and Olivia's are sparkly rainbow!
Close up of Libby's cute feet! I LOVE my daughter! Life is Good. What a FUN day:)

Family Home Evening Rollerskating Fun

Just another great Monday. We decided to go Rollerskating for FHE. It was a blast! But I HAD to take a picture of Olivia's outfit! Pretty in Pink:)
But then she wanted to take a picture of me too! Sporting my new glasses which I LOVE. You can't see it very well from the front but they are crimson and grey--COUGAR colors which only made me love them more!
MY JOY! Aren't they adorable!?!

I can't help it I love taking pictures of my kids! It makes me love and enjoy the moments!
Okay, now on to Rollerskating.....
Michael and Waylon (I know it is dark but it's a rollerskating rink!)
Isaac hanging onto the wall!
Isaac much more confident on the carpet!
Waylon and Isaac
The tongue was the reason this pic was taken. I love when he is super concentrating and you can tell by the tongue (he sticks it out a little and it goes to one side--cute)
Princess!
Look at her GO!
Taking a very short break!
Go Michael Go-
