6th Grader

So hard to believe (and hard to capture on film) J is in 6th grade. We all remember 6th grade like it was yesterday... only wish we could remember that homework just as well... they have to have some new math (etc etc) these days.. that must be it.

Here's to another great year at St. Pat's!

Big first day of Kinder

Campbell's first day of kinder coincided with his 5th birthday this year. Big day! He was so nervous... packed his (awesome cape-included superhero--thanks, NanaB!) backpack a good week before, asking anyone who would respond all about Kindergarten.. overheard telling Jadyn (who had yet to start school)... "J, you know, Kindergarten is a pretty big deal"

and already wilting from the heat-wave, we said goodbye for the (whole 3.5 hours) day..

C's official first day

Someone has been waiting on pins and needles all summer for his school year to begin. He is soo excited and had laid out a few different outfit choices over the weekend before. Also decided that Dad's cooler lunchbox would be better than his Star Wars box..."more grown up," he says. The yellow room (right across the hall from Nana's classroom) is his new home for the school days ahead!

First day of 5th grade!!

A new house, a new school, we are all so thrilled and excited for Jbird as she kicks off this school year!

First day of 4th grade!

First day o school outfit was troublesome, as it usually is when fall weather sneaks in in the morning and burns off for HOT afternoons... J is always sweating, but doesn't let up on her flannel and jeans obsessh. We cannot believe she's in 4th grade. what the ????

3rd grader???

looking sassy, Jbird. I can't believe it's been so long on Silverado Street. Our "temporary" first home. haa!! Seems like just yesterday was her first day in kindergarten. I just love how Jadyn starts the year with a mexican tan. So happy to be at Carrillo School again this year... go Peacocks.. I mean Colts. (the campus is full of real, roaming peacocks... so cool.) J wore a peacock feather headband for her first day... great outfit. (Thanks Jdawg for the skirt-couragement)

Second Grade!!

J is so happy to be starting school with her old friends, Zoe and Peytie
So (ew) the moustashe is back


Jadyn's cool outfit for her first day at a new school. I think she was a little nervous, but we were so excited for her as she headed off with her new supplies and new clothes... and SCARF on an 80 degree day in Southern California. I still have butterflies wondering what they're doing "getting to know each other" in her new classroom.

First Grade!! Already!

"I was doing a shaka"


Someone was a little bummed at me that her new shoes were still too big this morning... but she was so cute on her big first day... when we were talking about how she is going to have a much longer day than kindergarten she asked , "So, are we just going to do big-kid stuff all day?"... it was a scortcher today as we dropped her off and followed her (psycho parents) to the classroom... sooo hot out in the "desert" where we live?? for the love of god. My pregnant self was sweating bullets and only more mortified when my loving husband kept drawing attention to the makeup running off my face .... despite the heat and my not-so-conspicuous offers to take them home, she INSISTED on wearing jeans "just like Julia"...oh, and some "old" kindergarten buddies reunited on the playground.
