The First Day of School

Yesterday was the girls first day of school. They were both really excited, and all nervous at the same time. Last week we went shopping and they picked out their own new outfits. Macie walked into the Childrens Place and saw this outfit on the manikin and said, "That's the outfit I want!" (except she didn't want the purple leggins to go with it). And Grandmom found them their cute new lunch bags they're holding- thanks; they love them!! Ava needed her picture too...
and Mom...
and Dad...
This is Georgia's new 3rd grade class room. She was excited to be in the next (for 3rd, 4th &5th graders) building and to have a smart board in her class room. (She's way in the back by the smart board).
This is Macie's 1st grade class. She has her very own desk this year, plays on the big playground, and changes class for her specials.

I wasn't expecting it to be so hard to have them go off to school; I love summer and having them at home. I know they will have a great year though!

Sliding on the Rocks

Friday we took a trip up to a natural water chute. It was a fun little get away. The water was cold, but the rocks were hot. The girls found they could play in the water and then lie on the rocks to warm up before they got back in. Ava loved to walk around on the rocks. Most of them were really slippery and she could hardly stand up; every time she would lose her step she would just laugh- she thought it was so funny. Look at how beautiful it is!!
Georgia heading down head first.
Way to go Mae Mae!
There were a few places where the water got pretty deep so Jamie climbed up and jumped off. I love this worn out from a really fun day look!

Hair Cut by Dad...then Salon

Beautiful Before... Jamie decided to cut the girls hair, as he always has, and has done a fabulous job in the past. This time he couldn't seem to get it even so it kept getting shorter and he decided to stop before it was all gone. Then we went to the salon and got their first professional hair cut. The girls love it - Don't they look beautiful!!
Beautiful After!
