McKenzie starts Kindergarten

McKenzie was so excited to start Kindergarten. I had her write her name on the paper she is holding on her first day!
She picked out her outfit and is set to go with her new backpack. They require it to be mesh or clear plastic so mesh it is and it is huge!

McKenzie with her teacher, Ms. Heather. Ms. Heather is a good friend from church (McKenzie had her for 2yr old SS and now Teagan has her for 2yr old SS)

She LOVED it and had no problems with us leaving her. I had more tears than she did that morning! We are so proud of her!

Nate checking out his bags getting ready for his first day of MDO ever!

Nate is ready for his first day....maybe!

The Boys

Nate climbed up in the chair and is looking to see if I see him!
Then he climbed onto the table...

Then he started dancing...(sorry the pic is dark...I edit when I order!)

This is what we found after putting the boys to bed one night! They thought it was fun to be playing instead of going to sleep!

Teagan is proud of himself for climbing in Nate's crib!

Dollywood

We have gotten our money out of our passes to Dollywood! We get asked frequently when we are going back! McKenzie, Steven, and Teagan.
Nater and Teagan

All 3 on the bee ride!

Nate is big enough to ride now!

These expressions sum up how we all felt about the train ride....really not something we care to do again!

Happy First Birthday Nate!

It is so hard to believe that our baby had his first birthday! He is our little monkey so we had a monkey themed party! Nana got into decorating the cake!
I think he liked that he was center of attention as we sung to him!

He liked his cake...I think he liked the homemade ice cream too!

A picture with my baby!

Playing with his balloon that was bigger than him!

Nate's Birthday Gifts

Nate was ready to open his gifts!
He got a monkey towel picked out by his siblings. (Teagan wanted to help him open gifts!)

Checking out a gift!

Not sure what to do now!

I think he likes his new tractor!

Nate's Party

Nate is ONE!
Poppy, Gramps, Nana, Grandma

Taking a break!

Nate had lots of help and he had lots of fun!
