First day of School and some BIG, BIG News

Ok, so I'll start with the REALLY big news...Jackson lost his first tooth!!! He is so excited, he can't even go to sleep! Our little boy is growing up so much this week, he started Kindergarten yesterday and now lost his tooth today! I guess at the rate he's going he'll be shaving by Thursday :(

On Sunday we decided to just have a fun day for the kids since it was their last day of summer before starting school. We filled up their pool and daddy got in and played and Lainey and I laid on a blanket to watch them swim. It was so beautiful outside, it was only 86 degrees as a high and there was a nice breeze. Oh how I long for fall.... For dinner I made one of their favorite meals Fettucini Alfredo and they devoured it! It was yummy!

Scott can't get away from piggy back rides even in their minature pool :)

The kids started school on Monday. Jackson is in Kindergarten and could not be any more happy. Leah is in Pre-K three days a week for half days and she seems to be pretty excited too. In fact today was her first day home with me without Jackson, and by 900 she was already telling me she missed him.

Jackson and Mrs. Geyer, his teacher. Jackson ADORES her. He knew her last year when he was in Pre-K and he has been so excited to be in her class. At Open House last week he asked her if he could start school early with her. Anytime he sees her, he gives her the biggest hug! She seems pretty fond of him, too :) he was so cute when he walked into his class on Monday, he took one look at all the kids and yelled, "Look, it's all my friends!!" (Most of the kids are from his Pre-K class)

Today Leah, Lainey and I decided to have a Girls Day Picnic with Leah's new "Tangled" Lunchbox. It was nice to spend some quality time with her, she's so sweet. We played on the playground after lunch until it was time to go get jackson. I had Lainey in a little Baby Bjorn type carrier and she just slept on me the whole time.

Ok, I hope now my kids slow down with growing up! I can't handle anymore big milestones this week! Lainey rolled over in our bed this morning too! It wasn't for real though, because Scott was laying beside her so his weight was putting a slant on the bed, otherwise she wouldn't have done it...but STILL, even my newborn is growing by leaps and bounds this week!!! By heart can't take anymore :) But seriously, we couldn't be anymore proud of our kids, especially for our little man. This is such an important time for him and he is so excited about it. We just love him to pieces!
