First Day or Kindergarten and Pre-School

This year Landon goes to Kindergarten and Elle goes to her 2nd year of Pre-School!  I am so proud of these two and excited for them.  Mommy and Daddy couldn't be more proud.
Landon will attend Mutual Elementary School and Elle will attend Grover Place this year.

 Landon has been very nervous to start school.

 We went to the bus stop, but I couldn't bring myself to let him go.  So, we hopped in the car and headed to school together.
Sending him off to Kindergarten.  Can't believe this time has come...feels like yesterday we were meeting our buddy for the first time.  While packing his backpack this morning he asks me if I can tape a picture of me inside his backpack so that he can look at me if he gets scared or nervous.  Melted my heart.  I love his sweet and kind spirit.  It's a big day for the both of us.
 There he goes!  (I was a wreck)
 Love this girl.  She gave me a hug and a kiss, then ran into her school yelling "Bye Momma" at the top of her lungs and never once looked back.  She's ready to take on the world.
 After school Landon go to go for a ride in Uncle Ryan's brand new jeep!  He had a great first day!
 We had visitors these days and it was so fun to have Lauren around!
 Ryan was still in town and we were loving it.
 Trying to catch minnows.




On the 2nd day of school he asked to ride the bus!
 Landon's bus stop!
 So much more excitement this morning!
 This picture always makes me laugh.  She truly is my daughter.
 We all walked to the bus stop this morning.

 There he goes!  Ms. Gwen is the best!
 SO PROUD!
 Here comes the bus after his 2nd day of school!!!
 We brought popsicles to treat Landon with.
 He was loving it!
 The next day we walked out to the bus stop again.






 Such a handsome boy.

 Landon sits in the third seat back on the left and waves to me every day.  Best part of my morning.

 I had the great idea of having Elle drive out Landon's jeep so he could have some fun and drive it home after getting off of the bus, but (I can't stop laughing as I type) he was SO not into it.  He was so mad that I brought his jeep out and that he had to drive it home.

 This rock is at Landon's bus stop.  We pray every morning before he leaves for school now.  He calls it the "Prayer rock".
 Friday school spirit day!  Wear your Mutual Mustang pride!  What a great first week of school!
Happy Landon was happy on the bus for the first time!


 Best part of all of our day, Daddy's home!!!

First Few Days in Our New Home

The pups are LOVING everything about our new house.  We live on Wells Cove that feeds out to Battle Creek.  And Battle Creek connects to the Patuxtent River. 

 So are the kiddos!
GG and Papa arrived!
 Rainy day.







 We sure do live in a beautiful place.

 We can go fishing whenever we want!

 I am loving my new door mat.
 Paul finally gets to use his paddle board!

 Elle nice and relaxed while Gavin bounces away.


 Love our view.
 Boxes are a kids best toy.

 All this fresh air really tuckers out the kiddos!
 I finally got out on the paddle board too!


 These two are getting settled into their new house.  :)
 Decided to use the pot holder for a more decorative purpose.
 Landon's most favorite thing to do is fish out the minnows and shrimp from the cove.
 Evening snuggles with GG.
GG and Papa have found their happy place.
 We learned early that Gavin really enjoys to go through our bathroom cabinets.
 He loves his playroom!
 Paul caught the worlds smallest fish!

 Laughing at Daddy's catch.  ;)

 Aunt Stephanie came over to check out the new house!



 Stephanie and I snuck out with Gavin to check out our new favorite restaurant Stoney's.




 Best friends.
We will be doing this A LOT!
 Uncle Ryan came to visit too!




So excited to live closer to Uncle Ryan!
Little trip to BJs to stock up on food for the new house.  Nice to have Ryan's help.  :)

This one cracks me up.
Ryan brought a housewarming gift!!  A slip 'n' slide!!!!


He couldn't resist getting in on the fun too!
And finally, Nana, Grandaddy, Tricia and Lily came to check out our new house too!  Payton loved swimming in the water.

 Grandaddy and Elle having a nice lunch together.
 So excited to be closer to Trish, Geoff and Lily too!
 Lily loved her avocado.  :)
Nana and Gavin having a nice little snuggle.
The girls had a blast driving the car around!
Lily even went for a little ride with Landon!
