Keylee's First Day of School

So it was Keylee's first day of kindergarten yesterday. She was really nervous, but I am so proud of her because she did really good and had a lot of fun. Her teacher is Mrs. Creel. The above pic is of her in her classroom. Today she rode the bus for the first time and was nervous but had a lot of fun. I am glad she gets to meet new kids and start this new chapter in her life even though I was a cry baby the night before and after I dropped her off . I hope you know how much I love you Keylee.

School Shopping, going to the Cabin and Baldwin Reunion

Mom rented this gorgeous cabin for us to stay in for the weekend on Beaver Mountain. We had so much fun haning out and visiting with each other on our last get together before school starts. Thanks mom, we had a blast! After our weekend we went to the Beaver Park for the Baldwin reunion. My camera went dead so I didn't get any pics, but we had a really yummy lunch and had a good time visiting with all the cousins, aunts and uncles on my moms side of the family.

I can't believe my little girl is starting kindergarten. I had so much fun on our school date Keylee, and I'm glad you are excited to start school.

Keylee was so excited to get to pick where we had lunch on her shcool date and of course she wanted to go to her favorite place , "Jimmy Johns".

4th of July,Gleave Reunion,Canning

Here are some more pics of the summer. For the 4th of July we went to Mike's Uncle John's house and had a really yummy dutch oven dinner, after we watched fireworks in the field across from his house. Then I have pics of the Gleave Reunion. I am glad that lots of people still come to this event because we always have so much fun riding four wheelers, fishing, and just visiting with each other. Other pics are of Mike and I canning. We have lots of tomatoes and were able to bottle 4 batches of tomato soup(yummy, my favorite with grilled cheese), 4 batches of salsa, 1 batch of tomato juice, and who knows what else becasue they keep growing! We were also able to do one batch of peach jam from the peaches in our back yard, and I also dried some apricots as well.
