Shelby 1st day of 5th grade, wow, hard to believe

Collin 1st day of middle school harder to believe, we were the only parents taking
A picture in the hallway of the middle school, of course Collin was totally ok with it, what a kid!!!!

The back to school party was great. The kids had a long list of friends to invite but unfortunately we were limited to how many we could bring. The kids had a blast. We could not have asked for a better group of kids. Timmy and I feel so blessed that are kids have such sweet, kind friends, their parents should be very proud!!! Of course Cooper & Grayson were right in the middle of everthing and the kids were soooo great with them, that was amazing to me most kids that age do not want to be bothered with little kids. Brayden Dungan bought Cooper a Reese Cup because we had eaten all of the ice cream and Cooper was pouting and Brayden wanted to cheer him up, I can see why Shelb thinks so much of him!!

I can not believe my oldest baby boy is in middle school, wow!!!! Timmy and I really struggled this summer just knowing that it was coming, this was very emotional for us. You worry so much about your kids, you try your best to teach them right from wrong and the right choices to make and the choices that God wants them to make. It has been a real blessing to know that Collin loves middle school. This is the most excited he has ever been about school and he is really excited about his band class and learning to play the trumpet.

We're always reluctant for school to start because they both are growing up so fast right in front of our eyes, but knowing how blessed Collin and Shelby are to be in a great school, with great teachers, and with great friends makes it a little easier.

We are just so proud of them both and are ready for another great year!!! WE LOVE YOU BOTH MORE THAN WORDS.
