Back to School

 This summer went by so, so, so fast. As our kids are getting older I am having so much fun hanging out with them. We get to do so many fun things that we couldn't do when they were younger. It really made me sad this year as they got ready for school for their first day. 

This year Caden is in 5th grade. His teacher is Mrs. Crane. Gosh, he is looking so handsome lately. 

Makayla is in 6th grade and her teacher is Mrs. Allen. Why does this have to be her last year in elementary? I don't know if I'm ready for her to be done with elementary. 

Brynnli is in 2nd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Hill. Brynnli was nervous because she heard her teacher was really mean, but Mrs. Hill is truly the best teacher. 

All of our kids are going to have a great year. They are such good kids and are all so smart! I'm excited to see what this school year holds for them. 

And now that the kids are all back in school, Bella can resume her normal napping schedule. 

Well, unless Caden sneaks her into his backpack and takes her to school with him. 

Do you know what might be the saddest thing of all? Makayla didn't want me to stick around before school to snap pictures of her, and said it would be cringy if I tried to give her a hug, so she just walked ahead of me and waved good bye. Caden indulged me and let me give him a little side hug without any of the other kids seeing him. He also didn't want me hanging around to take thousands of pictures of him. 

Luckily I still have Brynn who wanted me to stay around until she walked into school. She was not afraid to give me a hug in front of her friends and she let me take pictures of her with her friend Paizley who is also in her class. 

Can't wait for another great year!!
