First day of school...

Today was the first day of school for both Hayley and Hunter. It's hard to believe that both of the kids are in school now, seems just yesterday we were bringing them home from the hospital. Hunter is in 2nd grade and has Mrs. Sienicki and Hayley is in Kindergarden and has Ms. Sweazy and Mrs. Foreberger! Both kids had a great day and are wore out! I volunteered at school today and am wore out too!

Hayley woke up every hour or so last night because she was so ready for school. She did wonderfully as I knew that she would! As soon as she got in the car she was ready to tell me the complete minute by minute play of everything they did and was so proud that she didn't loose a tiger paw!!

Hunter seemed to be excited about going to back to school and seeing his friends. He is growing up soo fast and just like Brian--no pictures, hugs or kisses if anyone is around!

Let's just hope that the school year continues to be a great one! I am sure it will because.....at TAYLORSVILLE ELEMENTARY WE ARE GRRRRRRRREAT!!!!

Welcome home Pa!

Pa got to come home today after a stay in the hospital for another heartattack! We are so blessed and thankful that he is feeling better. Now, if he would only slow down and take it easy, we would be in good shape. What is that saying? You can't teach an old dog new tricks? We love you Pa and welcome home

Happy Birthday Keegan

I can't believe Keegan is already 4~ seems like just yesterday we were waiting his arrival. We went to the Brown's yesterday for a Spiderman Birthday party! Had lots of fun and ate waaaay too much. The kids always love when we get together so that they can have cousin time and gang up on Grandma and Grandpa Fisher. It was another great birthday filled with lots of Spiderman presents, Lego's and cool items for his new fish tank. Happy Birthday Keegan Abner we love you!

Keegan loved for people to give him

Open House

We had open house for both Hunter and Hayley last night. Usually, school has Kindergarten on one night and primary grades on another, but this was not the case this year. I had took Hayley to her class and Brian went with Hunter.

I can't wait for this year, both kids will be in school!!!! I am not going to know what I'm going to do with all my "free time!" Looking forward to a having all my motherly duties done without having to stop due to the kids.

~~I only have picture of Hayley because Hunter is getting to the age where you have to fight him to get any pictures--its soo UNCOOL to have Mommy taking pictures of you!~~

Pizza/Water Night

Team Kids had their annual "Back to School Pizza/Water Night" on Wednesday. Its been in the works for a while, but with all the rain we have had to change the day several times. The anticipation on this was killing the kids, they ALWAYS look forward to this and have a ball. It's hard to believe that school will be starting in less then a week....where did summer go?

Outdoor Fun!

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful, dry weather we were having and had some outdoor fun! Hunter and Hayley were very entertained with sidewalk chalk and stencils for a long while. What makes for a better day then dinner outside on the picnic table complete with hot dogs roasted over a bon-fire and s'mores for dessert?
