Jackson's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

This morning was Jackson's first day of Kindergarten! He was so excited and had been counting down the days for awhile now. He is in the AM class so he goes Monday-Friday from 8:30am-11:15am. He is home by lunchtime everyday which is nice for Mommy and Carter.




Arriving at elementary school for the first time. Jackson was not nervous at all. In fact, he was so thrilled and eager to go it made it nice for Mom and Dad.

His school is a very small school and consists of kids mostly in our neighborhood. It was nice to know kids and parents in his class already from the last few years. Here are the kids lining up (with all their new supplies) waiting to go into their classroom. Ms. Bormet is their teacher and Jackson was already hugging her by the end of class!

It was a beautiful sunny 65 degree morning!

When we got home from dropping Jackson off Carter insisted on wearing a backpack!

Jackson and Athan are buddies from our neighborhood and went to pre-school together too. It is crazy to see how much all the kids have grown since last year. Looks like they will have a lot of fun learning this year!

 Making (grilling-hee hee!) yummy smores!
 

 Relaxing in the tent.

Lots of fun!

Trains & Trailers

Carter now also has a train fascination (just like big brother!) Here they are trainspotting at the DG station.

The boys new thing is adding " trailers" to their cars and bikes. Whatever they can hook up with a bungee cord they will!

Jackson's Cookies


Jackson has his own "Silly Snacks" kids cookbook and has enjoyed trying a few recipes out this summer. Here is his latest...dinosaur m&m's cookies.
