School is Back in Session!

 Both kiddos are back in school! I was a little worried about being able to get back into a routine, but the kids adjusted with no problem. Before school, Jackson and I went to Walker WOW day. That is when he gets to meet his teachers, get his walker gear, etc. Jackson picked out what he was going to wear and decided he should wear "church clothes" to meet his teachers. :)

 Jackson was SUPER excited to start first grade. Having his own locker is definitely one of the highlights!

 Not only does he get his own locker, but he also has his own super cool desk!

 Each classroom has a smart board. Here is Jackson moving his frog onto the lilly pad.

 Jackson with Mrs. Woods and Mrs. P. Sorry the pic is so fuzzy. Not sure what happened. Jackson's teachers are amazing! I can tell it is going to be a great year!!

 The first day arrived. Jackson was so excited he woke up at 5:45am!! I had him go back to sleep in our bed and told him I would wake him up at 6:45. His head popped up at 6:47 and he yelled, "Mommy, I was supposed to be up at 6:45!" So excited to be a big first grader!!

 Somebody else was ready to go to school! Beckett picked out his own back pack this year and I don't think he has taken it off since he got it!








Wears it all day!

 This was a sweet picture that Mrs. Kristin sent us. Jackson and Jack were sad not to be in the same class this year, so it was sweet to see them playing on the playground together.

 Finally time for Beckett's meet and greet and popsicles on the playground. As we pulled in, he kept asking me if I would stay. This time I was able to say yes! The little boy in the corner is Henry. Jackson and Henry's older brother, Charlie, were in this same class together 3 years ago. Same room, same teachers. It was like deja vu!

 Having fun meeting some new friends!

 All smiles! If only that smile would have lasted....










Here is Beckett on his first day when he found out I would not be staying with him.

I am happy to report by then end of the week, we were all smiles!!

We had Jackson's parents night this week and we had to try to find which picture was our childs. It was not too difficult..

 Beckett has become quite the little driver! He loves to drive the 4 wheeler all over the place. He still makes me a little nervous, so he has to wear a helmet to drive this one.

 We had our annual walker back to school pool party. This year we had 75 people come. Here are the kids checking out the bouncy.

 Despite the fact that our house is a construction zone and the lifeguards cancelled at the last minute, it was a great event!

 Luckily everyone seemed to be pretty good swimmers, so the lifeguards not showing up was not that big of a deal.

 Jackson entertaining his friends...

 Here they are! Walker Class of 2027!!

 We couldn't have a Walker party without some Wolverine cupcakes.

How many kids can this jumpy hold?

Once we found out the lifeguards cancelled, we decided to have Beckett go with Greg to baseball practice. He had a great time helping coach and made it home just in time for cupcakes. :) We are so excited about this school year for both Jackson and Beckett. I think they are going to have great years!!
