Bella's 1st day of Preschool

The backpack fits a little better than last year!

So happy after her first day!

Trying to focus but she wanted to watch all her friends!

It just amazes me how time moves by so quickly at times. I think it goes by even quicker when it involves our children. It seems like yesterday Bella was this sweet, tiny baby in our arms and nothing else mattered. She was such a peanut and so loving and our first born. But can you believe she is in her second year of pre-school and will start kindergarten next year...awww.

But she was thrilled to be back and she goes 2x a week for 2 hours and 45mins. She has her favorite teacher back, Amy. And the other 2 are new. She loves school so much and is learning something new everyday. We have so much fun with her watching her learn and grow. She is such a great little girl and I am so happy she enjoys all that she does and can't wait for more. We are so excited for this next year!

Today was a wonderful way to end the summer!! It was so beautiful out, nice warm weather with a cool breeze here and there and we had great company and yummy food. (gotta love them cheese curds:)) We decided that we wanted to do something a little different today so we headed down to Minnehaha Falls Park to do some walking around, swimming, renting a surrey bike and much more. It was a blast. The bike was so much fun! It was a little tricky at times, especially up the hills...that's when Parker would yell, "go faster daddy, go faster." Little did he know we both were pedaling and we couldn't go any faster!! Mom and Dad are a little out of shape:) But it was so pretty in the park and it's something that we have never done. We then headed over to the creek where the kids played for awhile. Then it was off to get some treats. They had a band playing and food stands so we had, cheese curds, fries, pronto pups and more. We were hoping for mini donuts but no luck, oh-well. Then we headed over to the wading pool for everyone to cool down some. The moms even dipped their feet!

To finish off the day we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's and had pizza for dinner and enjoyed some time with them! I love days like these!

Soccer has Started!

Soccer Has offically started! We are hoping that it goes a little better than dance class did! John;s the coach and there are 10 kids on the team. I hope to get more pics next week...it doesn't help that Parker BROKE my camera right before soccer!! Gotta love em.
