Gage and the school bus.

The other day Gagey decided he was going to go to school. I walked around the corner and he was following Carter out the door with a backpack on. Once he got close to the bus, he got a little scared and wouldn't get closer. But it was pretty cute. He love's his Ta'ta (Carter).

He looks like a turtle with the big backpack on.

Officially a Kindergartener...

The day has finally come. Ellie is no longer a preschooler. She has been ready for about 2 years to go to Kindergarten, so she says. I'm still feeling a little old because i will have 2 kids in elementary school this fall!! CRaZy.

These are her bestest friends. They were known as the "bow girls" club in preschool. Hard to tell why though....
Ellie and her BFF Kaylie.

This is her class getting ready to do their program and get their "diploma's". She really had a fun year!!

She doesn't like to show her teeth when she smiles anymore because Carter told her it looks like she is "pooing" when she show's her teeth. Matt and I can't convince her otherwise. Don't you just love big bother's, Oh, i mean brothers.

Cool Quote of the Day:

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered. Yet we have this consolation with us, the the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon it's goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated."
