First Day of School

Ahhh, the first day of school. So many mixed emotions:

1. I'm so happy to have the house clean & quiet again.

2. My little girl is going to Kindergarten :(

3. Kayden is going to be so sad and lonely.

4. My babysitter is back in school.

Overall, I'm happy, I am ready for a new chapter to begin.

Maya is trying to be brave on her first day of Kindergarten.

Her good friend Kelsie D. is right behind her.

This broke my heart, it was so hard to turn & walk away and have faith that this "new lady" would take care of her the way I would.
I was glad I had sunglasses on to hide my tears.

Notice the blonde boy to the right saying "What the heck is wrong with her?!"

Tanner is starting 4th grade and his teacher is Mrs. C. Tanner is in Pop Warner football on the "S." again this year. He loves it and is so tuff. He is playing linebacker and loves to get in and make the tackle.

Sammy is going to be in 8th grade at D. Jr. High. He loves his teacher, Mrs. D. He is in choir and Life Skills which is kind of like Home Ec. in our day. He is super excited to cook.

Rasheeda's 1st day of school picture didn't turn out great, so I'm using this adorable picture that a lady sent me from girls' camp this summer. She is continuing at H. High school with Mrs. S. She loves school and her favorite class is Seminary.

Trevor is the big man on campus this year as an 8th grader. He is in honors Math and honors science. He is in Pop Warner football now on the "B" again this year playing quarterback and middle linebacker.

Kayden is working on his photography now that the kids are back in school. (He took this picture of himself.) He gets to start preschool in Sept. He can't wait.
