1st day of school

Preston ready for 5th grade. His teacher will be Ms. Statler this year. Preston is excited for the new year.
Colin ready for 1st grade. He is excited to be able to go to school all day. Colin has Ms. Schneller and is happy they have fish in their classroom.
Our house obviously faces the sun, because they are squinting in all the pictures this morning.
The boys woke up earlier than usual today. They were both ready to go to school at 7:20. I'm not sure if it was the butterflies in the stomach or excited to be back in school.

Preston finished up 4th grade. He did really well this year, he made the honor roll all year. Way to go Preston!!! Preston and his teacher, Mr. Stetler.

Colin graduated from kindergarten and loved being at school. He is very excited to moving into 1st grade. Keep up the good work Colin!
Colin and his teacher, Mr. S, Ms. Rodriquez and Ms Bethel were both student teachers that helped out in his class at the end of the year.

tooth fairy needed!

Colin has been asking me for months and months to check for loose teeth.
After primary, he came running to me.
"Look Mom! It really wiggles!"
Has been playing with it all afternoon.
Wanted to wait to show his friends that his tooth moves.
Decided that was taking too long.
Pulled the tooth out himself.
All in one day!!!!!
