This was at back to school night. They made cars to put up on the poster board at school.
Evan started his 2nd year of preschool at Appleseed Academy. They started the day after his birthday so he got to make an "All about me" poster, take the snack, a birthday treat and the apple basket! We got everything all at once!:) He was so excited to bring it all to school. He was really excited to see all of his friends from last year and of course Teacher Misty! (he thinks she is the BEST!)JT's birthday was Sunday August 30th. He celebrated it with some of the members. I love this video, it's just so good to see him. He comes home September 10th!!!! We are SO excited!!!
Evan is 5!!!! I can't believe it! We invited family over to celebrate Evan's birthday. He wanted a baseball cake for him and baseball cupcakes for his Webkinz Tad (a frog). There birthday's are on the same day. :) So we made both! 
He was so funny opening his presents. He has been asking for a Nintendo DS for his birthday since Christmas. He was so happy when he opened the DS. He was kissing it and saying my DS, my DS. After seeing that it was totally worth getting him one. He got games for the DS, money, a wooden dump truck that Grandpa Evan's made, a backpack full of stuff, a belt and a lasso rope. I think he kissed all of them! It was so much fun to watch him! Happy Birthday little Ev, we love you so much!!!:)
My dad's birthday was August 27th. We went over to their house and had cake and ice cream. It's always fun together! Happy Birthday Dad, we love you!
Yesterday was Makayla's first day of 1st grade. She was so excited!!! I asked her on Sunday if she wanted me to walk her into school and into her classroom and she said, "No" So I thought no big deal she knows where her classroom is and she is pretty independent. So she got her outfit all picked out and got ready. I was going to take pictures before she left and Evan asked if he could take one too. He went to take a picture and dropped the camera on the floor and it broke! The zoom lens was stuck open and it wouldn't turn on. I was so mad!!!! I really wanted to get a picture of Makayla on her first day. So I dropped her off at the front doors and in she went. I worried about her ALL day long! 1:15 couldn't come fast enough, so I could go and pick her up from school. I asked her how her day was and she said fun, then I asked her if a lot of parents went into the class with their kids and she said yes, then I asked her if she wishes I walked her in too, and she said NO!!! Little stinker!!!! I am glad that she feels comfortable enough to do things by herself. It's so weird to have her gone all day, but she loves it!!!
Makayla was eating a sucker (the small ones that you would get at the credit union) and she stuck it in between her two front teeth and pulled on it. It knocked her tooth loose and was hanging sideways. The tooth was not loose before she did this! It just kinda hung sideways and bucked out. It wasn't looking too cute and she wouldn't pull it out. So I made a dentist appointment and had her pull the tooth out for us. Now she has a huge space and no tooth coming in. Silly girl!!!
We took our kids to Lagoon for the first time on September 11. It was soooo much fun!!! We went with Bryon and Misty and their two oldest Auston and Adyson. We left Tyson home with my mom and Ryans mom. (Thanks so much for watching him!:) We got there when it opened and stayed until almost 10pm . I rode on most of the big rides with Ryan, Bryon and Auston. Makayla rode on the Spider and got really scared, so she wouldn't ride on anymore of the big rides. She stayed on the kiddie rides with Evan and Ady. We had such a FUN time!!!
