Firsts

I still can't believe that our Meggie is old enough to go to school! I still get a little choked up thinking about it. She started Kindergarten yesterday. She only went for one hour and I stayed with her for her first day.

Here's Megs on the morning of her first day of school. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, I would make her anything she wanted. She said stuffed french toast...so that's what she got!!
Ohhh...my sweet girl goes to school!

She was a little nervous and excited to go. She has a really nice teacher and a great classroom, that looks really fun! Today, she goes by herself for 2 hours. And believe it or not, there are 2 other Megan's and one Maggie in her class this year!!

Walking her to school...

Next Wednesday will be her first full day of school, until then she goes a few hours every day.

Also, on Monday she learned to ride a 2 wheeler bike!! We are so excited and proud of her. We took the training wheels off her bike awhile ago, but she didn't seem confident to try it on her own. The whole family went outside on Monday morning and Jeff moved all the vehicles off our driveway and carport. So the kids had lots of space to ride around.

Megan just kept trying and trying and finally she got her balance and she was so happy. After that, she was confident and excited and everyday she practices riding and is getting better!! Pretty soon she will be able to go on a bike ride:)

Marty loved taking a turn on the "big" bike!

Gabby loves to ride her bike too!

Jeff got the hot tub up and running last week and the weather has been cooler, so we are enjoying it! We took Marty in for the first time on the weekend. He was a little unsure at first, but now he LOVES it. Jeff took the kids in the hot tub last night(while I was out) and he said Marty has no fear and will try to jump into the hot tub from the side!! We will definitely have to watch that little guy.

Hugs for Auntie Annie...

Uncle Curt and Auntie Annie came for a visit this past weekend and we spent lots of time with them!! On Saturday, Jeff's mom (thank you so much mom!) watched the kids and the rest of us went to some wineries in Oliver. It was lots of fun and a beautiful day...

Our first stop...

But, then on the way home, I was driving and I hit a deer with our van:( I felt awful about it. None of us saw the deer coming down the hill and then he ran right onto the road and I hit him. There was no time to react. He wasn't a very big deer, but the hood of our van has a big dent and our one head light is smashed and the front bumper has a crack in it.

The view from the top was amazing!

We always have fun with Curt and Annie and the kids absolutely adore them!! They bought the girls each a sticker book and Marty a little board book and it kept them entertained for a long time...so fun! They came over with mom yesterday to watch Marty and Gabby while I took Megs to school and they went in the hot tub with them and had a blast!! I am so thankful that our kids are so well loved by so many people:)
