Jackobi's [first] day of pre.school ::

I can't believe my sweet Jackobi is growing up so fast! This year she started pre-school and has loved every  minute.  She goes twice a week for a couple of hours and is already learning so much! It's so fun to see her learn and grow.  She's been eagerly waiting for pre-school all summer - I'm glad it's lived up to her expectations.  I think she'll be a good little student, she loves when she has "homework" to do at home ... hopefully this lasts!

So far, her teacher has said what a sweet little student she is ... we'll see when Mrs. Andrea gets to see the true, wild little Jackobi :)

 

here's to a happy learning year for my little J

4 1/2 years has never gone so fast!!

:: insta - update ::

As much of a nuisance as cell phones can be -- I always seem to have mine right by me! One perk is that I get to capture some of our daily things that I wouldn't otherwise :) here's a quick update!

Over the 4th of July festivities, Nate's Grandma flooded her yard, bought some fun squirt guns and let all of the kiddos have a hay day.  You can tell Jackobi loved every second -- pure elation on her face :)  We have a pretty cool grandpa & some fun uncles who were good sports in playing along.  Love summertime festivities!

4th of July

I'm ages behind in my blogging - life has just been crazy. I have the beginning of fall festivities to blog and realized I haven't even started what little (where did my camera go this year!??) I have of summer to blog about! 4th of July has always been my favorite. Even when I was little. There's just something that Rupert does right about the 4th -- really right.  I love this magical little town & think my little kiddos are fans too!  My Grandma Bellem's house is just a block off the square and the absolute BEST seat in the house for the fireworks show .... we couldn't pass it up!

Kashton went through a "cheeser" phase this summer :: here he is hamming it up & excited for the fireworks. (he didn't know what he was in for yet, but they didn't dissapoint! He loved them!)

 

****

Despite the heat over the 4th this year we still ventured to the Rupert parade.  Jackobi loved every, single second.  She stood perched at the corner the entire time, waving to every person or float that went by.

Kashton on the other hand, was much happier in the shade armed with popsicles.

Jackobi's favorite part of the parade was seeing Timber hand out candy.  She loves cheerleaders and everything about them -- uh oh!!
