There's been a lot going on lately but I'll just recap a few of the most recent things.
The kids have been making "tents" on their bunk beds with their blankets during the summer.
They played in their pool quite a bit...
We hung out with family... Uncle Tommy & Preslee...
Preslee "drove" with Daddy....
Anastacia got her new do for school... Cut a good 6-8 inches off... I LOVE it!
Triton wanted a mohawk for school and here it is... (not fixed but super cute)
I wanted something cooler for being outside 3 days a week with Anastacia's soccer... Love the shorter hair - quicker to fix and cooler.
Anastacia's 1st day of 1st grade...
6 years old.
Triton's 1st day of Kindergarten...
5 years old.
Boy have the kids grown fast. We now have a 11 year old (Baylee), 6 year old (Anastacia), 5 year old (Triton), and 1 1/2 year old (Preslee). Doesn't seem real to have kids getting that old. It's been a busy summer. Anastacia spent most of the summer with Nana. Triton and Preslee were at home most of the summer. They did quite a bit of stuff with Wayne, Grandma, and the girls. They all had fun. Summer seemed to end very quickly but I think the kids were anxious for school to start and see their friends again.
Now we are closing in on the end of the year almost... Holidays and birthdays and madness around our house! We will do Thanksgiving and Christmas at the house like we did last year. My understand this will be our new tradition. This will be the first "big" deal that everyone will see our house with all the new changes we have done. We need to finish the "dog's bathroom" and then the rest of the changes and additions will come after the first of the year. Following Thanksgiving we will be celebrating Preslee's 2nd birthday. We have decided on a pink/brown giraffe theme. We have her outfit and invitations/banner/juice box covers decided on. Cake has been picked just have to finalize a date so I can make arrangements with Patti Cakes. Goodness where has this year went.
Following the start of school last Thursday (08/16/12) I was looking back at last year's 1st day of school pictures that I took at the house. I put them together to see the difference. So crazy what one year can look like in children. See for yourself...
1st day of Kindergarten on left (2011-2012) and 1st day of 1st grade on the right (2012-2013)...
She has grown so much taller and she looks more grown up with her hair cut. My oldest is getting so big...
1st day of Pre-K on the left (2011-2012) and 1st day of Kindergarten on the right (2012-2013)...
He's grown taller also... They are getting so big...
And I just noticed in both years of Triton going to school he has worn a striped, collared shirt to school for the first day :) Must be a new tradition for him :)
