Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Other end of summer stuff we did before school started…
The boys went to Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor with the church…
They had fun and I have no comment about the full body tattoos!
Spencer set up his locker…
and Samantha did a baking camp!
It’s been a long first week and we’re ready for the weekend. I wish I could say it will be restful but soccer tournament here we come!
Everyone came home pretty happy after a successful first day at school. Maxwell’s day started off strong getting to ride with Jack…
I got to see Samantha during the day when I took cookies to her grade while they got their picture made. Perks of being the 6th Grade Committee Chair!
I didn’t see Spencer until 8pm that night after school, football and scouts! He had a very long day but was in good spirits and pretty chatty when I finally saw him. Love that kid.
I think a great start is indicative of a great year!
And they’re off! To three different schools this year!
Maxwell is at the High School in 10th grade. He got dropped off at Jack’s house early so they could ride together…
Spencer is at the Junior High in 8th grade…
and Samantha is a “senior” at MBE in 6th grade…
I pulled up her first first day at MBE to compare to her last first day at MBE and just about died…
She’s so cute I can’t stand it and her outfit matches K to 6th!
I know it’s going to be a great year for these three…
Let’s goooo!
Scenes from the end of summer…
Do you ever miss something before it’s actually really gone? That’s how I feel about this summer. Time is flying too fast and I don’t want these golden days to end. But, back to school we go. Begrudgingly.
This has been the summer of Eagle projects for our scout troop! Not only did Maxwell complete his project – which I will talk about in great detail soon! – but several of his friends did as well. The greatest part of all of it is that these boys all showed up to help each other. I think they all learned quite a bit about manual labor, construction, and problem solving. I am so proud of this whole group and really thankful for all that Boy Scouts has done for them.
Wales’s project – pullup bars at the high school…
Jack’s project – a platform at the Lovelady Center…
and Gray’s project – a shed for Oak Tree Ministries…
and Jude’s project – a little library for the elementary school…
Really good kids making great choices – that’s all you can ask for in your kid’s friends. Proud of each and every one of them!
