Summer ends, and school begins!

 Last, but not least, Ella got to go on her date with mom and dad! We had a lot of fun. Ella picked to go to Butterburs to eat (her favorite). It was delicious. Some yummy home made soup and bread are the hit there.

 We had fun shoe shopping, and going to Aeropostale, and of course milkshakes! Thanks for the fun night Ella!!

 On one of our last days of summer we went to one of our favorite places....Randy's Tumbling!! The pics are blurry, but it is hard because I was trying to catch the "mid-air" shots of the kids as they leaped from the platform into the foam pit. They had a BLAST!!!

We started school on the 26th. We enjoyed homeschool so much last year that we decided to do it again this year! We have a curriculum that we love, and we all enjoy learning at home. So here are our first day of school pictures........

Preston had to have his pic included and he is working on Preschool things.....so here's preschooler Preston!!!!

 

Livia was soooooo excited to start Kindergarten! (she's a little early, but I decided to start her anyway) and she is doing amazing.

3rd grader Ashton!!!! Ashton skipped a grade last year, and he has done really well. I am so proud of him and his hard work.

And 3rd grader Aaron!! Aaron is doing awesome and I'm so proud of his good example to Ashton. They work so well together (which is why I wanted them in the same grade). I love watching them do their schoolwork together.

 

Ella is in 6th grade!!! AHH!! I can't believe it. I really can't. She is such a good student. She knows exactly what needs to be done each day and NEVER complains. EVER. She always stays on task and I am so proud of all she does.

 Group shot! They are all looking in the same direction. Crazy! What a good lookin' bunch of kids!

We are in the middle of a crazy time in our lives....We just SOLD our home. (We close on the 27th of September) So, we have to find a place to live until our house is done, which Adam is guessing will be around March. And.......we're going to be having a baby sometime in the next 10 weeks. So we are just enjoying the chaos, and trusting that things will work out. They always do. :)  I just need to keep reminding myself of that.
