First Day of School

Makayla started kindergarten on Monday. It was a hard day...mainly because I had to get up at 6:30am. It's going to take awhile to get used to that. Her school day is from 7:55-12:55pm. It is not that much longer than preschool, but it is everyday. It is so weird not having her home with me, but she loves school and learning. The best part about her class is that her best friend Pearl is there with her. The fun thing about just having Evan during the morning is that it allows me to give him my full attention (by that I mean watch him like a hawk). I am kind of amazed that he had made it to this point in his life without any major injures (fingers crossed). Another cool thing about her school is that it is the same school I went to...crazy. It is a small country school. There is only one kindergarten class with only eighteen kids. When I graduated eighth grade my class size was only twenty five. Not much as changed. I love that.

Where's My Mommy?

Makayla decided that she wanted Dad to do her hair. So of course Evan thought it was a great idea too. I didn't care only because I knew we weren't going anywhere. Makayla's hair was created by Wes awkwardly twisting her hair into a braid, while Evan curls were just brushed into a fro. What can I say...Wes has a hard enough time combing his own hair. Makayla's only comment on her hair was, "Well mom, it doesn't really matter how my hair looks because I am still cuter than Evan. That's because I am a girl, and girls are always a little bit cuter than boys!"

California...The new Hawiaii

This past week my parents, Megan, and Jarom have been in Hawaii. I like to call it their partial family vacation. Instead of enjoying the beauty of Hawaii, they left us, Bryan, Ashley, and Caden here to "house sit". Too bad for them because we have just been partying it up California style. Who needs the white sandy beaches of Hawaii when we have a private beach right here. So what if most people refer to it as a sandbox. Our private beach features a removable lid that keeps the sand at the perfect temperature, and we don't have to share it with half tourists in Speedos. Now our waterfront view may not be of the Pacific Ocean, but who really likes all that salty water anyway. We may not have tropical fish and the relaxing sounds of the waves, but we do have a pretty sweet diving board...need I say more. While there were no actual whales...Uncle Bryan did a pretty good impersonation of one. Evan got the best dressed at our beach party. He picked out his complete outfit paring it with his Uggs...the perfect beach shoe. And of course what would a Hawaiian vacation be without a Luau at sunset. It was pretty much the perfect vacation. Don't be too sad Mom and Dad...maybe we will invite you next year.
