It's the First Day of School (July 25)

This post is a bit late since we started school a month ago. I wanted to get started in July so that we would get ahead before the big move. I really hope to post more about our curriculum for this year, but right now I am just going to post the pictures. Drum roll... our first day of school pictures: 

I have a preschooler:

 One kindergartener:

 One second grader:

 And one little miss that wanted her picture taken also. She kept saying "Me too, Mommy!"

Our New Home

I haven't posted lately because have been busy packing again, moving, unpacking, and painting. We have also been doing school. We are busy and hopefully I can get caught up soon. Here is our new home.

Jackson Lake 2012: A Family Tradition or Two

This is the yearly seawall picture of the grandkids lined up in birth order. This year we were missing the water.

This year Nana wanted an updated family picture. 

 By the end of this photo time we felt like this:

 This year we participated in the Chick-fil-a Cow Appreciation Day. It was loads of fun. We didn't get a picture of all the calves lined up 1-12. Too Cute!

Here is my little herd:

Jackson Lake 2012: Fun on the Land

This year we had a blow up slip and slide for three days. We like to add soap to make it more slippery. 

 The girls liked fishing in the little pool.

 We enjoyed a pig one night in addition to a few oysters.

 Cards and a few fireworks are always fun memories.

 Uncle Dan read a story to all of the younger girls one night before bed.

 We had a silly string fight on Thursday.

Look at these sweet girls. Numbers 9 and 10.

 Numbers 11 and 12!

Summer Lovin'

This summer has been extremely busy but so much fun. one days can be exhausting and challenging, but I will never again have a summer with a 7 year old, 5 year old, 4 and 1 year old. I am also confident that we will look back on these days and smile. I pray that we will make fun memories this summer and that my kids will always remember there first summer in Georgia!
