Douglas James...2nd Grade 2009-2010

Phillip Isaac...Kindergarten 2009-2010

1st days of school

Douglas' first day of school was 2 days ago. He is VERY happy to be back in school. Phillip's first day was today. I can hardly believe we have two in school. Phillip was excited to start school, I hope he does well. He has a little bit harder time with structured activity.

It was so cute how she grabbed his hand for the picture.

He looks so excited!...Bye mom!

(he did make sure he gave me a hug..."because I'm gonna miss you mom"..so sweet.

Douglas turns 8

It is so hard to believe that he is eight already. It feels like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. Crazy! So we decided to throw him a party with his friends with a Pokemon theme. The boys all had a blast! We started the party out with the kids having some free play time before starting anything structured...plus I wanted to wait for James to get home from work before I started some of those things too. Then we did pin-the-tail on Pikachu. Had some cake, ice cream and lemonade. Douglas opened some presents then we did a Pikachu pinata. Fun was had by all!

Bray watching them demolish Pikachu..he didn't like it very much

Once it started to break open they'd get a handful of pieces to fall out and the boys would all scream and pounce on it. It was hilarious to watch!

They decided they wanted to finish him off.
