First day of Kindergarten

Breckin was so excited to go to Kindergarten. He couldn't stop talking about it. He would tell everyone we saw at Wal-Mart that asked him anything that he was going to Kindergarten...no matter what they were talking about. He got up, got dressed, brushed his teeth and made his bed all by himself. We started a chore chart for all of these things so we will see how long that lasts.




His teacher's name is Mrs. MacLean. She has been teaching Kindergarten for 19 years so I think she has probably seen it all. I really happy to have her as his teacher.





He was so excited that one of his friends from preschool was in his class. He and Rylee have been going to the same daycare since they were babies so it was nice that he had a friend.





Kyson couldn't resist getting a picture in with Breckin. He was really excited that Breckin was going to school. He says he wants to go to school when he is a big boy too.




We had to get a family picture in as well so Carla (Rylee's Mom) was kind enough to take a picture of all of us.




There is no time for messing around in Kindergarten. The teacher already had an assignment for them when we got there. He also had homework the very first night. Not sure if they are trying to keep the kids busy or the parents. For the most part he had a great first day and was so excited to go back for day 2.

Better Late Than Never

Breckin starting school was fast approaching and we needed to have one last family vacation before he went off to Kindergarten. Our family has always enjoyed Branson as a little weekend get away so we purchased our tickets to Silver Dollar City, got a hotel room and off we went. The boys were beyond excited but you can't tell from these pictures. They were asleep before we were even to Branson.









We had such a great time at Sliver Dollar City. We rode almost every ride the boys possible could and I was so proud of Breckin because normally that isn't his thing and he doesn't like rides at all. He was running to each ride and so excited. Kyson would be really excited and then not talk at all when we got on the ride but at the end he said he liked it. We got our season passes so we will be going back before the year ends.












We rode the train which Breckin has named Frisco and they have a little show in the middle of the train ride where the robbers come and rob the train and Kyson was so excited to give them money. Breckin just wanted to watch from in between Brian and I.






We stayed at the Best Western close to Sliver Dollar City and they had an indoor pool and kiddie pool. They boys were so excited to swim every night. They also had an arcade that we visited very frequently and they had a breakfast buffet every morning where the boys loaded up on donuts.












We ended our last night with a dinner at the Fish House at the Landing. The food was so good and the boys were so excited to get to feed the fish after dinner.
