Back to School

Well, today was back to school for Jon Michael and the first day ever for Jalyn. Jalyn told me this morning while he was getting ready that he was so excited. I love that our boys have transitioned so well into big kids.

We just got back from Oklahoma last night (pictures and new post later) so the boys schedule was really off. Jon Michael couldn't go to sleep and after Jonathan went to work at 11pm he got in bed with me....then in the middle of the night Jalyn was totally awake so he climbed into my bed...then around 5am fell out of the bed! So it was a restless night but they were up and ready to go this morning, with no complaining.

The boys weren't cooperating with pictures this morning! But this one really does show their personalities!

Big boys walking to school.

I tried to get a good picture b/f they went into the school and as you can see they were hot and miserable from our one block walk so it didn't happen. (We got spoiled in two days of Oklahoma weather!!! I love Texas but a break from the coastal heat was WONDERFUL!!!!)

The first day of the rest of his life!!! Jalyn's backpack is as big as he is....

We met their teachers on Friday, Jalyn got Jon Michaels kinder. teacher so he was ready to go and very comfortable. We visited Jon Michaels new teacher and room and felt very good about it. I'm so excited for them! It was awful to see all the crying kids, and mommies, this morning! I wished all kids could be as excited as the boys were.

We'll keep you posted on the exciting things going on with the boys and their school lives.

Little Ninja

I heard Jalyn playing in the front room the other day and when I went to see what he was doing he took off running. Here's the chase in pictures....

Uh, oh, he caught me looking...so up the stairs he went.

He's laughing as he's running away from me.

Cornered in the office! But he's off again...

The chase ends in his bedroom with him drawing his sword on me!

Thanks Mr. Dobson! You've created a monster....Oh sorry, I mean NINJA!!!

Camping Trip

Jonathan's been wanting me to post something new for awhile. Its 2 am on Saturday, I just went grocery shopping at Kroger (they were doubling coupons up to $1!!!!!!!!!!!! I saved $45!!!!) and now I can't sleep so I figured now was a good time to go thru the pictures and post what we've been up to.

Last Tuesday Jonathan took the boys to Lake Bryan to go camping. Here's some pictures from their trip.

This was Jalyns "prize" he brought back..."police sunglasses", they found on the beach. He loves those things.

Why does this hug look like a headlock?!?!

Two brothers fishing.

Jalyn caught his own fish, did it all by himself, casting, and everything.

There was a burn ban and they couldn't cook the hotdogs, so Jalyn got to have his ideal dinner....bbq chips, cin. roll, and gatorade!

I love this picture...two brothers just hanging out in the water, talking.

Jon Michael helping set up the tent.

The boys had a good time. Jonathan said when it was time to go to bed in the tent Jalyn looked at him and asked, "Is it safe in there for me?" So funny...
