Gwyn's First Day of Kindergarten...and Jacob's First Day of 2nd Grade!

 The summer flew by, and the kids had their first day of school today.  Gwyn was super excited, but I could tell she was a little nervous and anxious as we were walking into the building.  We dropped Jacob off first, said goodbye and then walked Gwyn to her class.  She was greeted by her sweet teacher (who also had Jacob in Kinder), and seemed just fine.  She was even making silly faces at me when I took her picture.  I thought she was for sure going to cry, but she surprised me and did amazing!  She said her first day was "awesome" and that her favorite thing was watching a movie during recess because it was raining outside.  She rode the bus home and was anxious to play with Jacob and Annie:)  Isn't she the cutest!
 Jacob had a great first day as well, although he is now saying he doesn't want a peanut butter sandwich for lunch anymore because you have to sit at one end of the table since there is someone with an allergy in his class.  He said he had the best teacher and the best classroom!  He for sure can't get lost with those bright shoes!

 All three, Annie and I had a fun day, we went to the gym and then came home for me to organize the office and she had a little friend come over to play for awhile.  She told Brian that we had a fun day:)

Love those cute little legs and that gigantic backpack.

 Jacob on the first day, ready for me to get out of his class and leave him alone, ha!
 Gwyn on the first day at her class:
 Gwyn is doing soccer this year and since she hasn't played before I took her to a little soccer clinic.  After crying for the first 30 minutes since she didn't get put in a group with her friends, she decided to give it a try and ended up loving it and keeps asking every day when is soccer starting.
Here is a video of her playing:




Sweet little Annie found her long lost little dog Coconut...all was good after that:)

Swimming at Jason's awesome pool and a sleepover to top off the last weekend of summer vacation:


Annie and her little buddy Emerson now rule the roost now that the big brothers and sisters are in school!
Funny things the kids said this week:

Annie (has prayed this the last couple of nights):  Thank you for Gwyn's American Girl doll. (I think she is using reverse psycology on me to get me to buy her one for her birthday!)
