1st days of preschool

Abigail's first day of her last year of preschool.  She is one of Mrs. Plotz' pandas.  She goes 5 days a week.

Helping send big sister off to school...  he woke up so late that he didn't have time to eat breakfast.  He's holding his poptart and plate, so he can eat in the car.  =)

Having fun taking pictures

One more before we have to get in the car...

Tuesday was Jonathan's first day of school.  He is one of Mrs. Kaschak's kittens.

Making funny faces!

Cheese!

Trying to keep his bag on his shoulder

Arriving at school...  Abigail carried his bag for him.  She was such a good big sister telling him everything he needed to know!

Sitting at the picnic table waiting for the doors to open

"What's in my bag?"

 

Jonathan's hook

He said "bye mom", went right in, and started playing with toys!

Then Abigail wanted to show me her hook too!

Showing me where her folder goes  =)

Horseback riding lesson

Abigail's 1st horseback riding lesson at Majestic Hooves Equestrian.

They made them prepare the horse before riding it.

It was Kate's first lesson too.

Brushing her pony, Crystal

Kate got to ride the "Grandma".  Her name was Jewel.

Putting on the saddle

Learning how to hook everything up

Leading her out to the ring

Kate got to ride all by herself right away and did AWESOME!

Abigail kept saying "You can let go now!"

Abigail got to ride by herself a bunch too and LOVED it!

I think we're in trouble Aunt Sara, they really enjoyed horseback riding!

Ocean Isle Beach Vacation

 The kids were so excited to go on vacation with their cousin, Maddox!

They loved the beach!

Pulling each other on the float

Jonathan saw this vehicle go by and had a FIT!  He wanted it to stop and he asked the police officer if he could get in it.  =)

Jonathan loved the ocean.  He liked "jumping" the waves.

Surfing!  =)

We also were able to enjoy a really nice pool.

Playing in the sand

In the middle of the week, Jonathan had a fever, so he had to visit the local doctor's office.

It wasn't so bad...  he got to get ice cream afterwards.  =)

He took his bacon one morning and said "Look Mom, I am making a smile with my bacon."  =)

Playing in a hole he dug with Daddy

Looking for shells...

 

Jumping waves with Aunt Al and Uncle Jim

Cousins!

Having so much fun riding on Aunt Al's shoulders
