State Fair

Isaac had qualified to compete at the state pedal tractor pull this year.  We headed down to Hutchinson on the 9th of September to enjoy the fair and watch him compete.  It was a beautiful day, not extremely hot like last year.

Angry Birds

Isaac and Isabella thought they they should both wear their Angry Birds shirts to school on the same day a couple of weeks ago.  These are their Angry Bird faces to match their shirts!

Fall Soccer Begins

Today was the first soccer games of the fall season.  Isaac is now playing on a U8 team.  This means that they play positions, play on a larger field, and play for a longer time.  It was very organized compared to Isabella's game this morning!  Isabella is still playing on a U6 team with 4-5 year olds.  It is very humorous to watch these little ones play!  Next week I need to take more pictures of Isaac since I only got a couple today.

First Day of School

As you might have noticed school has started and my posting has came to a stop!  Isabella was SO excited for her first day of kindergarten.  Isaac was excited because Isabella's classroom is next to his, and she got Mrs. Boerner for kindergarten, too!  We were so blessed to have Mrs. Boerner again.  Isaac was ecstatic to get Mrs. Conwell for first grade.  Mrs. Conwell is just who asking was hoping for!  I think he is even more excited that Mrs. Conwell is Catholic and goes to our church.:)

My 21st year of teaching has started off smoothly.  I have a very nice group of students that are going to make the year very enjoyable!

Last T-Ball Game of the Season

Isaac and Isabella had their last t-ball game on June 30th.  They both enjoyed the season, especially when they got to bat last and run all the bases!  They both decided that  T-ball was just too much standing around and waiting. 

Isabella up to bat!

Isaac up to bat!

Just a few girls on the blue team!

You are suppose to be practicing your swing!

Isaac Lost His First Tooth

Isaac lost his first tooth today! He was really excited about it being loose, but not so happy after I pulled it out as you can see.

Not so happy boy after mom pulled it. :(

Bus Safety Contest

Isaac is still waiting patiently to see how he did the State Bus Safety Poster Contest. Entry forms were due in May. He loves to draw, but only in miniature version. He is not BIG on drawing BIG items. I love all the details he puts into his drawings three of the red buildings with flat roofs are schools. The other is a red house.

Teacher Gifts

I love Pinterest! There are SO many ideas at the tip of your fingers, but it can also be a time consumer too, if you let it. One easy and affordable idea I found was teacher gifts, for Isaac and Isabella's teachers. It was basically just a picture frame, tag board, glue, and a box of crayons. I think they turned out marvelous! See what you think.

Last Day of School

The last day of school was SEVERAL weeks ago, but I am trying to make up for lost time. Isabella was SO excited for summer to begin. Isaac on the other hand was very sad and teary eyed anytime that the last day of school was mentioned. He really had a an awesome kindergarten year, and he didn't want it to end.

There is always someone that doesn't want to cooperate for pictures.

Love this picture!

This does mean know that I officially have 2 school aged children!  Wow where did these first 6 years go? 

T-Ball

Isaac and Isabella are both on the same t-ball team this year. (This is great, because then that means one practice and one game a week!) It is a very slow paced game, but they both love it when they get a good hit. Their favorite is to be the last one to bat. Then they can run all the bases!

Just Being Silly

After church one Sunday afternoon in January I captured the little ones just being silly!

Our Visit to Santa

On our visit to Santa this year Isabella brought her list written out by her on Christmas wrapping paper. She didn't want him to forget what she wanted before he got back to the North Pole. She thinks she is a lot smarter than her brother, since he just told Santa what he wanted!
