My Handsome 1st Grader

Holy cow! Is summer seriously over and I now have a 1st grader?! My little Jack is now a big man on campus. He leaves me everyday for ALL day. Okay, not all day, but it sure seems like it. He is so proud to finally feel apart of Eagle Valley Elementary and he sure gets into all the lame fund raisers that they have. I mean, come on, can't I just send you a check?:) Poor kid has very sensitive eyes.

Lily and Ben didn't really get what was going on. They didn't understand that their #1 playmate was leaving them. Doesn't Ben's face look so cute?!

My two little blondies.

This picture of Lily makes me laugh. She looks like a boy standing there. She was really getting into taking pictures and she seemed to understand to smile. Jack is the BEST big brother to her.

Isn't this sweet?! Ben had a hard time letting go of Jack. It made me cry. Jack sure felt responsible for Ben, but you could tell that he was loving all the attention. He kept looking around like, "Sorry guys, I need to take care of my baby brother. I'll just be a minute." So funny:)

And there he is. All lined up for his first day of 1st day. He loves his teacher, Mrs. Abeyta. I got a letter from her the 2nd day of school saying how respectful and obedient Jack is. I'm so proud of him. He will always be my baby, but I won't tell him that:) (He had his first spelling test on Friday. He was so nervous, just like his mom;) He kept saying his prayers about it. He came home all smiles with 100%. "I was so nervous my legs were shaking.", he said. I'm so happy for him:)
