Back to School 2015

First day of school was Wednesday, August 5th!  Brynna is in 3rd grade with Mrs. Knepp. Braylee is in 5th grade with Mrs. Wade for homeroom. We are going to miss these girlies while they are at school, but they love being there with all of their friends!

So excited to have her best friend Kennedy in her class again this year!
Best Buds.
Love these sweet friends.

Then Brielle had her 1st day of preschool on Monday, August 10th.  We decided to homeschool Brielle for preschool for a couple of reasons.  Beilyn learns so much from playing and watching her big sister. Plus, this allows me to do Kindergarten curriculum with her since she is starting to read.  We still wanted to take some 1st day of school pictures though before we started "class" in the playroom. ♥  Brielle also decided to toss the training wheels that day!
Love this picture! 

Tonight, the big girls had Open House at school.
The school year is off to a great start!

End of July- Birthdays & More Camping! {Lots of Cousin Time}

July 21st~ We went swimming at Rainbow Beach with Grammy, Aunt Beth, and lots of cousins, including Taryn who lives in VA and Noah & Aiden who live in Texas. It was so fun they could all visit at the same time. That evening, we helped cousin Liam celebrate his 3rd birthday!

July 23rd~  Holiday World with cousins Sydney & Addison
I was so excited to run into my friend, Brittany! She's an adoptive momma who lives in KY.  We were roomies at the Created 4 Care conference in Atlanta back in March.  Her daughter was at home and my big girls had run off to the next ride, but one day we will get all of our babies together!  
He's the best daddy.
Sydney & Braylee are up at the top.

July 25th~  We celebrated cousins Mattinglee & Emmett's 1st birthdays!  They are "twin" cousins and oh so cute!

July 27th-July 30th~ The big girls went to Bible Memory Camp.


The weekend of July 31st~  We went camping at New Harmonie with Alex's cousin Brad and his family. 
It was a perfect way to spend the last weekend of summer before school started.
Brock & Brielle- pretending to roast leaves. 
Brielle took advantage of the 2ft area and figured out how to swim without her life jacket!
We "played" a game of whiffle ball after dinner on Saturday night. There were few rules! ha!
Relaxing weekend to end our summer.
