Off To Kindergarten

The first Day of Kindergarten went well. Jackson was very excited and couldn't wait to get on the bus. The whole family waited at the bus stop along with Maddy (Jackson's friend) and her family. When the bus came they both got on and we hopped in our van and went up to school to meet them at school. He was very happy and excited when he got off the bus and he remembered exactly where Mrs. Huggins classroom was. After he put away his backpack and put his name on the smart board we gave him hugs and off we went. Mommy cried (but just a little) and Izzie cried because she didn't want to leave "Her Jackson". It was very sweet!
This is the poem that Mrs. Huggins gave us parents at orientation. I cried of course!

Kindergarten Orientation

Today was Jackson's Kindergarten Orientation Day. We got to meet Mrs. Huggin's (his teacher) and see his classroom. Lots of tears shed ( not by Jackson- just me). My 1st baby is off to school and I can hardly believe it is true. Time has gone by so quickly and he is growing up so fast! We Love you Jackson and Daddy and I are so proud of you! We can't wait to see all that is to come for you this year. It is going to be a great year!

I can't believe that it has been since January that I last blogged. I guess that is just a sign that life has been busy. As you can imagine alot has changed since then.

Jackson will be starting kindergarten next week. He is so excited (I am a nervous wreck and can't believe my first baby has gotten so old already). I know he will do great and I am anxious to hear about his first day.

Carter is going to be in Preschool again this year. He will be doing the morning class on Mon, Wed, and Fri. He is looking forward to finally getting to go on fieldtrips and being in the Big kid class.

Izzie is getting soo big and very sassy! She talks like crazy and loves singing songs and reading books. She is very much a girly girl (which of course thrills me!!) She brings her baby, purse, keys and phone most everywhere she goes. So cute!

We have had a busy summer. Jackson played baseball and Jeff was his coach. They had alot of fun with that and were sad when it ended. Carter played teeball and did a great job! He is ready to play "real" baseball next summer with his brother. We got to go to the cabin only once this summer but enjoyed the time we were up there. Our big family news this summer was Grandma Grace moved to MN from Arkansas. We have been so happy to have her close again and we got to go see her new apartment today which was alot of fun.
