Family Trip to Prosper

We were so excited when my college roommate found out that she would be moving back to Texas from Virginia where she had lived for about 2 and a half years!  Her hubby took on a new job and was able to request a move back to the state he loves!
They have been moved in since August and finally had a weekend we were both free to make the drive up there to see Meagan, Brian, Tatum, and Hallie!  I had never met Hallie, who is 16 months old, and had not seen Meagan in almost 2 years!  We are super close and I had been missing her terribly!
We had a rainy weekend but that did not stop our fun!  We took the kids to the Oktoberfest on the McKinney Square where the kids saw Weenie Dog Races, got their face painted, listened to singing, were amazed at yodeling, and loved watching the dancing!  Their face paints were amazing and were quite the talk wherever we went!
Meagan and I got time to go look at house decor, and we just enjoyed being with them!
Wish they lived even closer but it is nothing like Virginia...that is far!

Labor Day Weekend 2012

We had a weekend of catching up on things around the house and time with friends!  We put the kids to work and got busy on the floors and kitchen in the house...it had been neglected because of all of my energy being poured into learning my new school!
We were then invited to the Kuhn's house on Sunday to enjoy relaxing evening with friends.  We made some new ones and of course enjoyed the old ones!

First Day of School 2012

....I know I am behind on my blog!  I have been trying to stop my head from spinning learning a new school myself!  It has been busy!

First day of First Grade..."I wanna be a doctor when  I grow up!"

First day of PreK...."I wanna be a deep sea diver when I grow up!"

First afternoon ever riding the bus!!!!!!

Perfect end to a perfect day!

Our first day of school meal!

Twas the Night Before School

We had a fabulous summer and it has been so sad to see it go!  We are back into the swing of things.  We spent the night before school started laying out clothes, packing lunches, and getting backpacks and cameras ready to go!  The kids made their request for their first day of school meal...shish-ka-bobs, grilled corn on the cob, and Italian sausage!  They love picking out their special meal the first day of school.  They have started thinking about next year already!  I spent time getting dinner for first day of school prepared and making gifts for teachers!  The first day of school is a great day to shower the teacher with gifts!
..........and we're off!

Meet the Teacher 2012

Brooklyn started first grade this year and Colson is in the PK1 class at Primrose.  Curt had the chance to take Brooklyn to meet her teacher the Friday before school started.  Her teacher is Ms. Trevino.  She is very excited because she taught Kinder last year so Brooklyn knows her.  She has two kids in her class from last year so I am sure she will meet other great friends!  I was so sad to miss it but I had my Meet the Teacher at the exact same time!
