First Day of School

Today is the first day of school for the boys. Mason was really excited and didn't have any trouble going right in and getting ready for the day. Matthew was a little weirded out I think when we took Mason to St. Marys. I think it finally hit him that he was going to a different school and seeing all of his old classmates was kind of hard. When we got to First Lutheran it was weird for me because it is Matthew's first year there and I don't know many people but everyone was really nice. Matthew noticed right off that he is sitting right next to the new girl for 5th grade. Her name is Hunter and she is a doll. Tall, blonde, blue-eyed. He was grinning and giggling. He may not learn anything if he stays by her all year.

What has been going on with us.

OK...so I know I haven't posted anything in awhile and everyone wants to know what is going on with us. Well...school starts in 2 days so I promise I will have new pics to post from that and also fall baseball has started for Matthew. Mason will be playing fall baseball and soccer but we have not been contacted by his coaches yet. We are about to get really really busy! I love it though.

Mason has been asking his Daddy to teach him how to tie his shoes and said that he HAD to know how to do it before he goes to Kindergarten. So Danny has been working with him on tying his shoes and he is a pro already. He can even double knot his tennis shoes which is very important to Mason because he hates when his shoes come untied. He is very very proud and has been telling anyone who will listen that he can now tie his shoes all by himself.

I think Matthew has grown 3 inches this summer! He is a giant! I almost cannot believe it. I had him try on his jeans from last school year thinking that I would not have to buy him any right now and he couldn't wear any of them! They were all atleast 2-3 inches too short! He has been eating like crazy and has been complaing some about his hips and legs aching and I just thought it was his muscles but I think it may just be from growing so much. If he keeps at it like this, he is going to pass me by the end of this school year.

Matthew and his friend Collin threw a back to school party for the First Lutheran 5th grade class last week at Wentz Pool here in Ponca City. We had cupcakes and fruit and the kids swam and got to know each other. Some for the first time and some just since school let out in the Spring. Matthew will be 1 of 3 new boys in the class and there will be 1 new girl. His class will have 24 kids I believe which is a huge difference from his class at St. Mary's which only had 11. He is very excited to be changing schools.

Ok...so you are pretty much caught up and like I said I promise I will have some new pics up soon!

Goodnight and Have a great week!
