Bike Ridin'

 

 

 

Ooooh.  Isaac's sweaty curls look familiar.

found on the iPod:

When I look through pictures on the ipod, I always always find things that make me smile:

Cate's view of Ty every day on the way to pick up Halle:

Ruthie makes the trip every day too:

 

 

I guess someone liked this shirt enough to take a picture of it...?

Meet Nancy:

(hahaha!)

 

A view I never see at the grocery store:

Another year.

Same cake.

 And the same kind of gifts.  :)

The back patio-

Thanks to our Batesville grandparents for the new basketball goal! 

 It is a perfect birthday gift for Isaac.  ;)

 Taxi?  School bus?

You never know.

Isaac doesn't like the concrete on his knees: 

 

 

 Hooray for AWESOME weather!

And bug spray.

Lately:

 

 

First Grade!

 Halle is off to school again today!

She and I got to go on a back-to-school lunch date yesterday.  She chose the enchilada plate at Mi Pueblo even though she had the exact same thing the night before on her date with JD- haha!  :)

 We had such a fun summer.  We knew it would fly by and it did, but we made a pact at the end of May to enjoy every little bit of it- we prayed about it as a family and really purposed to do that.  And we did!  Even our stuck-in-the-car days were fun.

We had a party last night, our "Back to School Eve" party, where we celebrated the end of summer.  I played a slide show on the computer with pictures and the kids loved watching it and remembering the fun we packed in.

At our little party we also wrote a bunch of lunch-notes for Halle:

(She wrote a few for the rest of us too!)

 She was out the door bright and early this morning (7:10) to start a new adventure!

JD sent me this picture after dropping her off:

(Halle and Mrs. Simpson)

It is going to be a great year.

And I am going to enjoy every. little. bit. of it!  :)

 

 

*Yes, that is the same dress she wore on the last day of Kindergarten.  :)   One of her friends called a few days ago to see if she wanted to wear a pink dress so "the teachers will know that we're friends!"
