First day of school 2010

Since we have the privilege of attending year round school, the first day of school was July 6th. Maya started kindergarten this year, and was thrilled to pieces. She was definitely ready to go to school every day. I had requested morning kindergarten, but got afternoon. It is turning out great though. While both Maya and Haley are at school, Caleb takes a nap, and I have a few hours of peace. At least until baby 4 is born!

Haley started 3rd grade. Holy cow, 3rd grade? I can't believe it.

Also new this year, the girls cut their hair and Haley got glasses. I think they both look darling in chin length bobs. It was their idea and I was a little hesitant, but I love it now.

At the end of 2nd grade, Haley told me she was having trouble seeing the chalk board, so we took her to the eye doctor and she got glasses! Thankfully she loves them and I think she looks great!

Maya's dance recital

Maya loved dance class this year. She was in a preschool ballet class. Of course the best part was putting on a fancy costume and make-up for the recital. I am the worst photographer ever, combine that with a so-so camera, and my action shots leave plenty to be desired. But here they are.

After every group performed, all the girls came on stage for a final group number. Luckily Maya was in front so I could actually see her and get a picture!

All of my cute monkeys smiling at once. How did I get so lucky?

Father and Son camp out

Mike and Caleb had a great time at the Father and Son camp out this year. I'm glad Mike got some pictures of the cute men in our family.

I'm sure Caleb's first order of business was to get a stick and start smacking things. One of the joys of the great outdoors.

Hands covered in dirt, another joy of the great outdoors.

My two favorite guys.

My superhero family

For Christmas, Caleb got several "dress-up" outfits. Some of his favorite are the super hero outfits. In fact, everyone loves them, and one Saturday morning I got pictures of everyone dressed up.

Mike said I wasn't allowed to post this picture. Sorry!

Fast as lightning!

Didn't you know Batman still sucks on his fingers?

Also a little known fact about batman - he still wears pull-ups.
