Cailyn's first day of soccer

Today is Cailyn's first time on the soccer field and you can't wipe the smile off her face!!! She has never run this much in her life and she is still smiling! A friend from her class is on her team. It is going to be a great season!!! Go Cailyn!

Start of School - Many firsts!

August 29, 2016 has been a huge milestone! Lawson's first day of middle school, Wesley's first day of 3rd grade and Cailyn's first day of Kindergarten. Lawson was nervous ( locker issues), Wesley is ecstatic summer is over (?!?!), Cailyn bubbling with excitement to start big girl school. Mommy- struggling.

This morning went beautifully. Earlier start but wonderful. The part I was nervous about was my little sweet Cailyn getting on the school bus but her brother promised me he would take care of her and I totally trust him! With Cailyn so exited it was hard to say no to the bus!! Prayers for a great school year and new beginnings for everyone!

America!!

Just some fun patriotic pictures!! Our July 4th this year was low key but fun with morning glories and a dance party!!

Massanutten 2016 Family Trip

We just got home from our 4th annual Kenna family trip to Massanutten. We always have the best time!! This year was no different! Ski Lift rides, trip to the Book Fair, Water Park {celebrate Coastal Carolina's National Championship Baseball win), Mini Golf (Lawson got two hole-in-one), Winery, shopping, Adventure Park, snow tube rides, lots of nature walks to name a few things!

Lawson's 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony

5th grade promotion!  I am so proud (and really impressed) at  how much Lawson has grown this year. Moving to a new state, new school, and making new friends is hard, but she handled it all so well.  We started out the school year with a few little bumps but ended her elementary years with straight A's 4th semester.  Lawson is very organized, responsible and creative!!! I know she is going to continue to excel in school.  We love you, Lawson.

All about Mommy by Cailyn

I really need to start using some anti-wrinkle cream. Out of the mouth of babes!!! XXOO

Middle School Orientation

This is happening! Lockers, 7 teachers a day, a school with 1400 students!!! Crazy!! ... Lawson is finishing up 5th grade beautifully and will be ready! Just not sure her mama is ready! Wow, just wow.

Dinosaur Land

After Wesley's cold and windy soccer game (Wesley scored again) we hit the road and went to Winchester to Dinosaur Land. It is 55 years old and looks like it too but it was fun to visit. Lawson and Wesley were explaining to us when they saw it they were too old for Dinosaurs and this isn't cool. My the time we left they both were really enjoying themselves and Cailyn of course loved it too. One nice thing about not owning a house (and no yard) is we are free on the weekends for adventures. VA has lots to offer and places to explore!!

Wesley Update

Wesley has a horrible case of hives and the reason is still unknown. I took him to Urgent Care to get him some relief and I got huge dose of comic relief. After a nice steroid shot in the butt Wesley's comments... "I have officially become a man. I took that shot without moving or screaming" Next comment "will my toots start coming out of the new hole in my hiney". Oh Wesley!!!
