It's school time

Tonight we had Kaid's preschool orientation. It was for parents only so our amazing friend Ted came with two of his sons last minute to watch our boys for us so we could go. Kaid is going to Trinity nursery school. I love it because it is a hands on montisorri type learning. I also love that it is a Christian preschool and September's focus will be "God made me special" and "God made everything". We came home with a little tshirt for him and his first "homework" assignment. He will be collecting things around the house to put in a little paper bag to take to school. The things he has to put in the bag are things that describe him and what he likes to do so his classmates can get to know him. So far he's put a skateboard wheel in the bag, and he says he wants to put a picture of him surfing and riding a dirtbike in the bag. I love these fun little projects that he gets to do! Kaid is so excited to start next tuesday. Also Kaid and Keegan will be doing Zumba classes on Fridays at the preschool. Zumba is a dance excersice program and his preschool is offering one for kiddos. So I think this will give Keegan something to be involved in as well. However I will be doing some homeschool preschool with Keegan this year when Kaid is at school. We will be doing some fun crafts and doing some fun stuff. I just ordered Kaid his first pair of Tom Shoes for school! If any of you haven't heard of toms shoes it's an amazing company where you buy a pair of shoes and they give one to a child in need. It's a one for one program. www.tomsshoes.com I plain on getting a pair for all the boys because they are too cute and I love the fact it's helping three other children have a pair of shoes as well. I will post some pictures of Kaid's first day of school next tuesday!!!

memories in the making

At this very moment Kaiden is sound asleep in "Papa's Camper". Scott's mom and dad arrived in Jersey around 5:00pm today with ten kids (Scott's cousin Tonna's kiddos joined us this time and they are adorable!) and two doggies in tow. I can't believe they made it! 24 hours....they arrived and all the kids got out and stretched their legs running around the yard and jumping in the pool. After a couple hours of that we headed to the campground down the road wear they are staying for the next two weeks. Kaid and Keegan always love when Papa's camper comes out. It brings so many fun memories and good times. There are plenty of beach days, some good eating, and plenty of friends to play with. I will probably not see Kaiden much for the next two weeks. He will want to be spending the night in the camper and that is okay. This is a once a year event. Something the boys look forward to every summer! So how exciting they are here and it is happening right now. I will have pictures to post soon! A couple of days ago we also had a visit from Uncle Jeff and my cousins Emily and Jay. Uncle Jeff is touring the east coast with his band all the way from Colorado. It was so fun to see them and to hang out with them. We had such a good time. Thank you God for good family and friends and great times spent together!
