*Ty's First Fieldtrip*

Yaya's Preschool went to
Gardner Village today - how fun is that!?!
School is great when-
your best friends are in your class,
you get to have a pony ride and pet baby animals,
and you finish your day with a cookie the size of your head!







If college were this much fun, I'd consider going.

Why did Rilie have to cut her hair?

My favorite local bow maker is taking a bow making break (aw, Ash, how can you do this to me?!?) But, luckily for me, one of my favorite friend's sisters has quite the talent of her own. (I felt like it was too presumptuous of me to call Katie a favorite friend when I have only talked with her a few times, but if she lived close I am sure she would be included in my morning Chevron run.)

Check these out...

Ode to a Scholes





I refuse to tell Jenna that Bethia is moving away.

Good luck with that Amber, I've cried enough today.

We wish your family luck, and know this move is for the best.

With you as our neighbors our lives have been blessed.

One more month is not enough time to spend with our friends,

Selfishly, we will hope that the job offer ends.


Our loss is definitely South Africa's gain!!!

...and another one gone...


Today is Ty's first day of preschool. He was up, dressed and had his backpack on by 7:30. School didn't start for another two hours, but that meant nothing to him. His questions were (no not, "Mom can you stay with me?" like I had hoped) "When are you going to put my lunch in my back pack?" and "Do I get to take the bus?" He is so excited. Hopefully that lasts for the next twenty years or so (he will make a great doctor!)




Ty, his best bud Bradley and Brad's older brother Luke. Walking, instead of taking the bus, since preschool is right down the street.


You can't tell he's excited, can you?!?
