Amber wanted to do some fun, crazy makeup and Taylor was ALL to happy to be her model. And as a bonus Amber gave her some WILD hair!

YEAH!! The first day of school!!

August 23rd marked an end to summer. Children mourned and parents rejoiced! There was a lightness in my step as I walked and drove kids to school. I was SO ready for school to start. I secretly think the kids were glad to start back too. They get to see the friends that they haven't seen all summer and make new friends in their classes. Yes, the first day is ALWAYS a good day!....Well at least for us moms!


The traditional first day of school pose in front of the house.
Can't believe this is Taylor's last year of elementary!


Hunter heading into 3rd grade!!


Getting a quick welcome to class hug from Mrs. Carroll


SO excited to finally get a locker on the bottom!


Taylor was being VERY tolerant with me taking her picture. One day honey I promise you'll be glad I documented EVERY aspect of your life!


Taylor and Mrs. Bernard.


Dropping Jake off at the high school. He wouldn't let me take a picture of him. This was my attempt at a sneak attack!


First day of school loot bags full of goodies to help ease the trauma of school starting!
