Back to School!

Yes I was the crazy mom that followed the bus, I had to get a picture in front of the classroom :)
Jaidon was done with pictures! Hard to tell huh!
My big thrid grader!!! I can't believe that she is sooo grown up!
I can't believe that it is time to go back to school! My Jaidon is a BIG kindergartner and he was so excited for school to start. I had to wake them up at 6:30 this morning and he was happy....I don't think that he has ever woke up that early and been happy, he loves his sleep way to much. They were both very excited to see that some of their new friends from summer school were in their classes! I was also very happy for them. I think I worry more about them making friends then they do. I guess that is what Moms' are for. Mikinzie is preparing herself for HOMEWORK! At her old school she really didn't have any, but at this school she will most likely have some every night, we think that Jaidon will have some too! I controlled my self and did not make Miki have her picture taken in front of her classroom ( I wasn't fast enough to catch her before she went in the classroom, it would have been totally uncool to come back outside for a picture!) Back to bedtimes and reality! We had such a fun summer with all the company that we had bedtimes didn't really happen. Grandmas, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles don't think that they need bedtimes. Oh well we were just so glad that they all came and visited!
Chase and I, I can't believe I just have one at home all day, are looking forward to lots of one on one time. He is such a mamas boy I think he will enjoy it, I know I am going too.

Twinkle Toes!!

I am finally getting pictures of Mikinzie's recital on!! We had so much fun and she did a great job. The recital marked the end to the weekly drives back to Lees Summit on Tuesdays. I was and still am sad because that means I don't get to wander around Target for 45 min with my girl friends while Miki goes to class. On a brighter note our gas tank is thanking us!! As tradition Grandma and Grandpa Richardson came out from Utah for the exciting weekend! We had alot of fun with them here! I went into shock after they left because summer school was out, no Grandma and Grandpa to play with, and no pool loaded with friends to entertain Miki and Jaidon. We are hanging in there though! :) The pics of Miki and Chase in the cage were actually lockers just outside her dressing room. We were there waaaaaay to looong!!! It worked great to keep Chase happy!

Boat Fun

Sorry about the multiple post but when I don't post for a month I have alot to share!! This was our first trip out on the boat of the season. Doesn't Chad looked thrilled that I am taking his picture!:) Our trip got cut short because something was going crazy with the fuel pump or something like that. We had fun for the little time we were out and can't wait to get back out there! We now go to a lake that is about a 40 min drive(which is killing me)instead of drive way to lake 15 min. The lake is beautiful and it is huge. I am not as scared driving on it.

Summer School!!!

Summer school is the best! At our new school Miki and Jaidon get to go to school for 24 days and get paid for being there! Jaidon was so excited that he finally got to go to school. He is doing great and loves learning and being entertained by some one other then mom...I am not as fun, apparently cleaning is not something he finds entertaining. That boy has been waiting to go to school for over a year now! They get to do tons and tons of fun activities all day long. It is definatley quieter around the house with just Chase and I, but I think we will adjust.

Cuties

On Tuesdays since April we have been making the drive back down to Lees Summit so that Mikinzie can finish up dance. On this week we meet up with some friends and played at the park for oh about four hours before dance. The kids sure had fun. I am sure going to miss those park days!!!! FYI there are just three families in the picture!!! Do you think we have enough kids!!!:)
