First Day of School

Matthew and Jacob started school last week!! They have been talking about it for months and months. And they've thanked Heavenly Father every night in their prayers (for the past 6 months) that they get to go to school.

They love their teacher, Miss Michelle, and have done all kinds of fun things already!

Here they are on their first day!! Handsome little guys, huh?! (Please ignore Matthew's black eye!!)


Mommy and Zachy are keeing busy with the boys being away. Every Tuesday, Zachy has music class with all of his little friends at our house (same as the boys last year). We have 14 kids total!! And on Thursdays, Zachy has his own little preschool with Rose, Claire and Scott. We take turns - so I teach every 4th week. He'll love it and I get a few hours to do who-knows-what!!!

Our family is getting so big!! They're not kidding when they say that "kids grow up so fast" and "treasure every moment!" I know they're all only gone a few hours a week, but I'm SO excited when I get to go pick them up!!

I love my boys!

SEAWORLD!

On Labor Day, we decided to take the boys down to Seaworld in San Antonio. I have the best memories of going to Seaworld in San Diego with my family when I was growing up. So I wanted to take advantage of living so close to one and take the boys!! We had a BLAST!!!

A few favorite moments of the day...........................

1 - Seeing the amazement in the boy's eyes as they watched the Shamu show - it was absolutely stunning! And they still can't stop talking about how the lady rode on Shamu's nose!!

2 - Watching Matt and Jake in the 4D Pirate show - every time something would pop out of the screen, they'd lift their glasses up off their eyes (a few times, on and off, on and off, on and off) just to make sure it wasn't real!!

3 - The wave pool - the entire family LOVED it! How smart are they to put a water park in the middle of Seaworld in Texas!!

Here are a few pictures!

Dolphins!
