Meet the Bulldogs 2010

On Tuesday night the girls participated in their first ever Meet the Bulldogs. This is a special night for the 2010 Wylie Bulldog Football Players to be introduced. Since Kaylee and Campbell did the cheer camp this year they got to perform before the introductions. They seemed to enjoy themselves almost as much as I enjoyed watching them shake their tail feathers;-)

Kindergarten and Third!

Well our morning started bright and early since it was the First Day of School as well as our annual breakfast at IHOP. Yes, we are those crazy people;-) The girls look forward each year to a yummy breakfast before the first day and let's be honest I always wake up early for fear of oversleeping so we mine as well go eat together.

After filling our tummies it was time to head to our first stop which was the Elementary Building. My baby started kindergarten today. I still cannot believe it! She was such a big girl and walked right to her locker which happens to be #1 and put her nap mat and backpack away before going to her seat. We did manage to take a few pictures. Since her teacher "Mrs. P" happens to be a friend of ours and go to church with us, then several of her friends from Pre-K are in her class I felt very comfortable leaving her this morning. Just look at that smile on her face in this picture. Too precious for words;-)

When I returned to pick her up at the end of the day she told me her day was good, asked if we could get a first day of school treat at Target (which she calls the "Happy Place" and I have to agree), she was ready to see her sister and said that she would be going back to have more fun tomorrow. Yeah!! I am so glad that she loves school and pray that feeling continues for many years to come.

Once we left the Elementary we were off to the Intermediate School to drop Kaylee off in Third Grade. I cannot believe that either! I felt a little rushed with two buildings to go to and try to get pictures but we made it with time to spare. Kaylee was so excited to see her friends and start learning something new since she loves school so much. The first picture is Kaylee with her Homeroom teacher Mrs. J and the second picture is with her Language Arts teacher Mrs. M. They are both very sweet and it helps that Mrs. M was one of Kaylee's softball coaches the first year she played. I really feel like we hit the jackpot on teachers this year for both of my girls. When we walked out of the classroom Kaylee was already smiling and busy working on her morning work. I love that sweet face!

When I picked her up from school she told me her day was AMAZING!! Then I got a play by play the whole way home which I love. Of course she was thirsty too.

Thank you Lord for placing my daughters in the perfect place for them this year and making it easier for their Mom to enter a new stage of life with no one at home. Today I managed to stay busy with friends all day so I did not have any quiet moments, check with me tomorrow to see how I really feel about it.

Pup Squad

On Saturday both of my daughters decided to sign up for Cheer Camp (aka Pup Squad). Yes, you read that right BOTH of them. If you know Kaylee at all then you know she is more of a softball/ basketball type athlete than a gymnast. I have tried every year since kindergarten to get her to sign up and every year there was no interest...until this year. Do you think maybe her sister participating had anything to do with it?

Here is Kaylee with her sweet friends Laurel and Anna. They were very excited to see each other and get started learning all those cheers. I cannot believe they are starting third grade on Monday. Kaylee has known Laurel since the three's class at Pre-K and Anna since before kindergarten. I love that they have remained close and are still so happy to see each other.

Here is my baby with her sweet friends Ella, Morgan and Mallory. I cannot believe these four precious faces are old enough to start kindergarten on Monday. Seriously, where has the time gone? I am looking forward to many future birthdays, cheer camps, play dates and all around fun with these girls.

Both Kaylee and Campbell seemed to have a great time cheering and learning a routine for 2 1/2 hours. The first thing out of their moths though was that they were tired and hungry. I had to laugh. Thanks to all the Cheerleaders for putting together a fun day for my girls.

Look who drew the Lucky Card!!

If you have been around my sweet husband long you have heard him brag about his recessive genes when it comes to our girls. Well it seems Campbell became the lucky one to get her Daddy's eyes in color and vision. I took both girls to the doctor for their Well-Visit before school starts and found out Campbell could not see as well as we thought she could. So off we went to our wonderful friend, Dr. Gabe, who informed me she was nearsighted and hooked Campbell up with these precious glasses.

The first picture shows her cute brown framed glasses with little blinged out hearts on the sides. The second photo shows her wire rimmed glasses which are equally precious. I love this precious face and think she looks great!

So far she has been very excited to put on her glasses each day so I am hoping that continues. Kaylee has been a wonderful Big Sister and told her how lucky she is to get to wear glasses and how only special girls get to wear glasses. I love my girls!!
