1st Day of School

School started today and our household was ready. After meeting our teachers for this year on Tuesday, both Alli and Cole were excited! Our morning started off with pancakes, pictures, and then more pictures at school. All this was followed by easy 'goodbyes' in which Jeff was disappointed that I didn't cry when we left the school building. :) I do get a little emotional thinking about how big the kids are getting. Maybe it just hasn't hit me yet that Alli is already in 2nd grade (scary) and Cole is in Pre-K (same school as Alli). Or maybe I just think it is going to be a great year. We think their teachers will be great, the school is great, and of course, we think Alli and Cole are GREAT!! We took lots of pictures and, although I have posted alot, I really wanted to post more. Maybe I will in a few days. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures of Alli and Cole's 1st day of school 2010-2011.

All ready to go!

Nolan had to jump in for a few pictures, but was NOT upset that he couldn't go to school too. Starting school in September may be a little hard for him.

Handsome boy! He was all smiles all morning!

Our pretty girl! She thought she picked out the best 1st day of school outfit. It's all about the clothes these days. ;)

Walking up to school. Cole turned around and asked us, "Do I really get to go to the big school?" He was so excited, he almost didn't believe it. So funny!

Alli at her desk and ready to start her day.

Nolan giving Cole a hug good-bye. He said, "Bye, Cole. Be good!" It was so cute!

Cole's after school treat...lunch at Louie's. His favorite place to eat "chips and cheese."

Alli's after school treat...a trip to a new cupcake shop. She tried a red velvet cupcake and thought it was delicious!

Henry Anniversary Cruise

We went on a cruise to celebrate Jeff's parents 40th wedding anniversary back in June. Many of you have been asking to post pictures...well, I have been trying. For some reason, it isn't working and I am not a computer wizard, so this is my last attempt. Hopefully, it works.

Copy and past this website and hopefully you will see the pictures on my facebook page.

We had a great time cruising to the Western Caribbean with stops at Cozumel, Mexico, Isle of Raotan, Belize, and Cost Maya, Mexico. The kids were great and had lots of fun on and off the boat. They are still talking about our trip. I don't have a whole lot of pictures because Jeff and I had fun with the kids 1st and took pictures 2nd. Hopefully the pictures can give you an idea of how much fun we had!
