First Day of Kindergarten!

I can't believe this day has finally come. Emma started school today. She did wonderful, and told me after that she had "so so much fun." We started out the morning with chocolate chip pancakes. Then off to school we went. Daddy took some time off this morning so he was with us. Emma's teacher is Mrs. Long and she is awesome! I'm super excited about her and I think she will be a great teacher for Emma. She was so excited that she had her very own lunch in her lunch box. It broke my heart to leave her there and I held in the tears until after we left. Then they flowed. After about 10 minutes I was okay. She is a big school girl now. I can't believe it. 

After we dropped her off we headed over to Denny's for a little breakfast. We couldn't tell if we were celebrating or commiserating. :)  Jakob loved him some orange juice and then we dropped Daddy off at work.  It was a great memorable day!

Kindercamp

Our school here does a little kindergarten camp before school starts. They basically go Mon-Thurs for 2 hours a day in their classroom. She had a lot of fun, but was a little more nervous than I thought she would be. On the second day I showed up after a friend of her's mom did and she was very nervous that I wasn't coming. Even though I was totally on time. I assured her not to worry and that I would be there. Overall it was a great experience and she has a great teacher! We are super excited for kindergarten!

Eating lunch. She was not a fan of the hot lunch. She loves her PB&J. So I think I will be packing her a lunch most days.

7 1/2 Months!

Our Jakey is 71/2 months now! We were in Portland for his actual 7 month birthday and I finally got around to taking his pictures. He is getting so big and doing so much. He rolls all around and is almost army crawling. He tries so hard to move his body to get to those toys. He is sitting up, but doesn't really sit for a long time before falling over. He loves his Mama and gets very excited whenever he sees me. He also loves to laugh and play with his sister. He loves to be tickled especially around his neck. He is very busy and loves to have something in his hands to play with or put in his mouth. He is still nursing great, but isn't really into solid foods. His favorite is oatmeal mixed with warm apple juice. He doesn't really get too excited about anything else. He is such a fun boy and we love him so much!

The Sinclair Picnic was super fun this year, but sooooo hot! We saw lots of friends and met some new ones. Such a great time!

A little Rodeo Fun!

Of course, we had to hit the rodeo this year! Emma loves to see the animals. We were even able to talk Grammy into going with us. Auntie Sheenie took Johnny home because he wasn't feeling good.

 



Visit from Grammy and Auntie Sheenie

My Mom, Sister, and nephew came to visit for a few days. It was really good to see them and a fun visit. Emma had so much fun playing with Johnny.

 

Swimming Lessons

Emma did great in her swimming lessons this year. Every morning she would wake up and say, I just can't wait to get in the water." She learned how to float by herself!
