School is in Session!

The summer is over, but the kids are so excited to go back to school that I can't even be sad! We finally got to meet their teachers last night! 

Coleson is a big 3rd grader with a locker this year! His teacher is Mrs. Crow.

Elise got to meet Mrs. Widmer and find her cubby too!

When I woke up at 6:30 this morning Ellie was already dressed and ready to go! She is super excited to be starting Kindergarten!! And Cole is excited to be the oldest in the school this year...but not so excited for the homework that comes with that ;)

Dax and I had fun without Cole and Ellie...but we were happy to have them home! We celebrated the first day by going out for ice cream!! The kids really enjoyed it if you can't tell ;)

Let the learning commence!!

Tanner's Orchard

We found the cutest orchard to play at today! It was little kid heaven!!

Trains, tractors, sand pits, fire trucks, buses, airplanes, teeter totters, boats, hay maze, horse swings, and mini golf! It was never ending fun!! And the apple cider donuts at the end were a nice bonus ;)

  

Tooth Fairy Time!

Ellie had her first visit from the tooth fairy last night!!

I was at a church meeting and got a text from Daddy saying "guess who lost their FIRST tooth!" I was sad to miss it, but she gave me a good showing this morning ;) What a way to start kindergarten!

My Bubba is 3!!

The little mister is 3!!

Well tomorrow ;) Ben has to work all day and night on his bday so we celebrated a day early! We went to Lowe's for a build and grow. Then we went home to open presents. All the kid asked for this year was a skateboard...and that was the one present he opened that he said he didn't want, silly kid! He was pretty excited about all of the Paw Patrol stuff and the scooter though!

After presents Dax blew out his candles and we had doggy cake and ice cream for lunch!! 

Dax just wanted to play the rest of the day. So we played and then went to dinner. It was a pretty laid back celebration, but he was happy as can be! Love this kid!!

Dax is my little bubba! He will always be my baby boy! Some days he is ok with that and some days not ;) He is definitely a momma's boy and loves to cuddle with his mommy!! And mommy loves it too :)

Dax is a bundle of energy! He is always on the go...playing until he drops from exhaustion. He is full of life and has such a positive attitude. He also has a whiny/dramatic side to him...but hey, he's 3!

Dax is all boy...he loves dogs, cars, trains, balls and the Ipad :)

He is every bit the baby of our family. He knows how to get his siblings to give him what he wants, and they absolutely love and adore him! He smiles his adorable smile with that irresistable dimple and he has us all in the palm of his hand!!

I sure love my sweet, fun loving, adventurous boy!!

Baby Mason

We got to meet baby Mason this weekend!!

 We took a trip to Cleveland for the weekend for Mason's blessing day. We drove Friday, played all day Saturday, went to church/blessing Sunday and now for home! It was a fast trip but a lot of fun!!

The boys got in some good basketball Saturday. Dax really wanted in on the game, and managed to steal the ball a few times ;) It was cute to watch my boys play ball!

The girly girls played hard on Saturday as well :)

We are blessed to have such great family and get to spend time with them!
