Miss Marli is 5!

Today she is, officially, 5 years old! What a big girl she is, even though she'd prefer to stay "teeny." I asked her this morning if she felt older, to which she replied, "No, mom. I want to be 4 still."

I wish, pumpkin. Mommy would love to push pause.

The Girls Birthdays!

So, the end of September and beginning of October are nutso in our household with Birthdays. Mine is the 25th, Marli's is the 29th, Tai's is October 6th, and my mom's is October 9th. CRAZY!!!!!

Here are pictures from their invitations to family/friends.

Marli and Macy...

Okay, so Marli got one of her birthday gifts a bit early, on accident. Her cousins from Stanwood gave her some hand-me-down American Girl items. Marli is in heaven! Every morning, she dresses Macy, the doll, combs her hair, etc. Then, at night, she does the opposite. It's hilarious! She is, for sure, a girly-girl.

Monday was Marli's first dance class and guess who came? You betcha! Macy did...

We're Back to School!

I know some of you haven't heard from me in a while, but things have been hectic the month of August. We had to prepare for back to school, get classrooms ready, and Kevin started Freshman football. To say the least, we've been swamped!

Tai just started 3rd grade at Wide Hollow and she is loving it! Tai is a social-bug, so being at school is heaven for her.

Miss Marli just started her final year in preschool. She knows that she must learn this year, so she can go to Kindergarten and she's pumped about it!

Kevin is beginning his 13th year of teaching...old man!!! Football has been taking up a majority of his time currently. He has a very talented group of Freshmen, so he's looking at an underdefeated season, maybe.

As for me, I just ended my first week of class with Kinders. They are darling, as always. It's been 12years now with this age and I'm not sure how much longer I can do this grade. I may need a change soon.
