Troy's 1st day of Preschool

This was Troy's first day of DDPre/Preschool. He has the same teacher as last year and they have changed the schedule a little bit but I think it is so much better. They only go 4 days a week this year. Mondays are off days and any Monday Holiday they also get Tuesday off as well. He seems so much more grown up this year. He was very excited to start school this year! What a handsome boy, he is so fun!

Hailey's 1st day of 1st Grade

This is my Cute big 1st Grader, On her first day of school! She always has so much enthusiam for school and learning. She is good at making new friends. She has such a truly amazing teacher this year! Her name is Mrs. P********. Hailey kinda ended the year last year a little run down and this year she is loving every bit of it! She talks so highly of her teacher. She tells us she wants to be a 1st grade teacher when she grows up, and a mom. Love this cute sweet girl! She is growing up too fast!

Getting backpacks ready

So a few days before school started we got out their new backpacks and packed them full of their supplies. This really helped them be excited about going back. Alyssa, also need to pack a backpack, she couldn't be left out!

Lorax Day

We had a Lorax Day once about a year ago and the kids talk about it all the time! We just basically had a special breakfast with smoothies and we put a mustache on their straws. Sometimes we have read the book or watched the movie. They think that this is so fun!

Summer Hail Storm

We got some really amazing rain this summer! One of the storms we had we got over 2 inches in our rain gauge which is a first in this house, the last 4 years never seen a rain like that!  (Every really since Josh has kept track of it!)  One of the really good rains we had we had to get out there and play in the puddles. They had so much fun! There is nothing better them playing in the mud/water!

Sleep under...

So I have the Best best best neighbors! One of the mom's had the great idea to have a sleep under. That is where from about dinner til bedtime your friend comes over and you watch a movie and do all the fun sleep over things. Then your friend goes home and in the morning you both have breakfast together at the other person's house. What a great idea! So Hailey's friend Kali came over for the evening and then Hailey went over in the morning to their house. So Fun!!

Father and Son Camp out August

At the beginning of August the Hakes group planned a Father's and Son's camp out. We had been telling Troy for quite some time that he need to be pooping in the potty everytime or he couldn't go. He was still having a little bit of a rough time with it but we really didnt want him to miss out so we decided to take him on the second of 3 days. He had such a good time. Troy sucked up and enjoyed every second of it. Josh said when they started packing up he was like, "Is that's it?"  (He wasn't ready for it to be over!) He got super dirty, well they both did.
