Back to School 2012

It's been a great summer packed full of fun, but it's time to get back to school. Last Friday the boys at Meet & Greet at their schools so we went to check things out before the first day.

First stop- Shadycrest Elementary.

Luke was greeted by two friends from his class last year Noah & Austin. They were all happy to see familiar faces! 

This year, Luke has Mrs. Judge as his teacher which is who we were hoping for!!! Yay for good teachers!

The fact that Mrs. Judge has two pet frogs in her class makes her that much more cool :)

Second stop was In His Steps Preschool:

 
We went to Owen's class to meet Mrs. Robyn & Mrs. Sarah, but Owen wasn't really up for a picture. He was already getting a little nervous about being left :(

Brady has Mrs. Beheshti this year in PreK-4. She is really sweet and has an awesome classroom.

One last weekend of summer then it was time for the First Day of school!

 It was an exciting day around here to say the least. Owen will start his new class tomorrow.

Luke and Brady gave their teachers a vase with flowers for their first day gifts.

Luke got this letter from Mrs. Judge at Meet and Greet and couldn't wait to open it. So sweet!

 First day pictures!

Silly-bration

Since Brady & Owen's birthdays are just 10 days apart, we decided to give them a double birthday party this year. With a two year age gap between them, I felt a Silly-bration would be age appropriate for both of them. The plan was just to have all things silly at the party.

Here's the invitation

As always, we had their party at Yaya & Papi's house so we could swim. With August birthdays it's almost a sin not to... Above is a picture of the table.

 
Two super cute birthday boys!

 
It's kinda hard to get a good shot of both of them perfectly smiling at the camera, so this is as close as I could get.

Pretty silly if you ask me!

Grammy worked really hard to make this masterpiece :)

EE, Nonah, & Cash came in for the party which was a huge treat :)

Silly cupcakes

Most of the kids...there were a few others who we not in the picture.

Cupcake Time!!!

We sang Happy Birthday to them one at a time.

Sweet cousin Maddie.

Present time for Brady! He got lots of cool Spiderman & Spy stuff just like he wanted!

Mamaw & Papaw also made the trip from Austin to come to the party.

Wow!

Cutest picture ever of Grandma Sue & Brady! Love Love Love

Batman in the house!

Owen's turn to open presents!

After swimming, cupcakes, and presents he couldn't resist the urge to play in the sandbox and eat some sand. Whatever...it's your birthday!

Family picture. Brady is already checking out his new spy binoculars

Best buds!

Thanks to everyone who came to the party. We had a great time celebrating Brady's 4th and Owen's 2nd birthday!

Some Time at the Lake

Grammy & Papa got a lake house on Lake Conroe for a week this summer and we got to join them for some fun. It was a blast to get out on the water and do some tubing, fishing, & swimming!

The boys could literally ride the tube for days. They didn't want to get off. It gave me a glimpse of how much fun they will be as teenagers!

Brady is our little fisherman!

So darn cute!

The lake is always a great vacation for our family! So much to do- yet such a great way to relax.
