First Day(s)

We are now a week into the school year! Riley is off to kindergarten and Carter is in Preschool! Riley had a rough time going into school the first 4 days but Friday he went in with NO TEARS!!!
Carter loves school so much that he sometimes forgets to give his momma kiss goodbye!

Making lunch with Daddy!

very proud of the lunch he packed!

Brothers - on Riley's first day!

The "ginormous" new backpack - he got it for his birthday and could not be persuaded to use anything else!

we are pretty sure these two are related!

Carter's 1st day!

We tried to take the same pictures of each of the boys!

We can't figure out what they were looking at but something was more exciting than me saying "look over here boys"

Ready to GO!

Carter was somehow convinced that he didn't need to take the same backpack as Riley.

2 moms + 8 boys = CRAZY!!!!

Just last week we "discovered" a spray park in the south-eastern part of Colorado Springs (thanks to a friend a work!). Well, I forgot the camera on our maiden voyage but did not forget it for our first trip with Nick and Noah. Noah LOVED it! I had to MAKE him stop to eat lunch! My friend Kisha, her two boys and the twins she takes care of joined us... yes, that is 7 boys ages 8 and under - 4 of them 3 or almost 3 years old! It was chaotic but a BLAST!!!!!!

Noah + Riley + Carter = TROUBLE (and lots of fun!)

I LOVE this photo of Noah ( yes, I know they are not supposed to run and
he did have a time out for running but the picture is so great!)

I don't think Nick planned on having a "shadow" named Carter

but he was so sweet to hang out with him!

Gage - not quite sure of the water

Carter goes under the rainbow

Noah - a little alone time with the "gun"... usually there were 3 or 4 kids holding on to each one!
