First day of 1st grade!

This week has been full of prep for the first day of school and enjoying the last day of summer! 

On Sunday we headed to school for Hailey's open house.  It was crazy busy but we found her room, desk and cubbie and got to meet her teacher Ms Sillman.  Hailey was very excited to see some of her friends in her class again this year. 

Found her cubbie!

And her desk!

Love my Hailey bug!
Then on Tuesday, Tony and Hailey spent the last day of summer together and they were determined to make it a good one.  They went out for lunch and to jumpy's and to the park.

Then that night we all headed out for Mexican food per Miss H's request. 


Got home and she finished her project that was sent home from the open house. 


And of course laid out her clothes for the first day. 



She got up that morning and was ready to go! 




Yummy breakfast made by Tony and Aunt Tracy!
overall it was a good day but ended a little rough with Hailey being put on the wrong bus at the end of the day.  After a few tears everything was alright and I made sure to talk to her teacher that everything was correct for her 2nd day of school. 

Here's to another successful year of school!!

Vacation - Myrtle Beach, SC

We just got back from our vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It was great.  My sister Tracy and her son Luke came along with me and Hailey.  The drive was long but the kids did great since we drove at night and they slept most of the way.  The condo we stayed in was perfect, way better than a hotel room and big enough for us to be able to hang out on the days it rained and not feel like we were stuck. 

Pretty much our biggest decision every day was do we want to go to the beach first or the pool first....rough I know!  Most of the time we started out at the beach, came back for lunch and a nap and then headed to the pool the rest of the day. 

Hailey loved the beach this year!!!  She wasn't afraid at all, which made me very nervous.  I'm not a use swim in the ocean fan but I'm not a huge swim in any body of water that has animals in it either.  I love the beach and the ocean but I only go up to my knees in the water.  We had a really nice section of the beach to enjoy and it was very family oriented.  It was a great trip and I would definitely go back again.  Here are a few pictures from the trip. 


Hailey has gotten really good at doing cartwheels!

These 2 played really well together

Will not mention how many times we got FroYo while there.





view from our condo...perfect!
