Labor Day 2014

We needed one more trip before summer ended, so we took the girls to the JW Marriott in the Hill Country. So many fun activities for the girls (and us!). We ate and drank our way through 3 sun-filled days. Water slides, a pool, a zoo, duck races, homemade ice cream, s'mores, live music. It was pretty awesome! 

It was a great 'last hurrah' before fall!

We love Pre-K

The night before school started her teacher sent her a special note and this magic 'ready confetti' to put under her pillow. Maisy's eyes lit up when she heard the words 'magic'!

The next morning, this kid was ready to go!

After a quick slice of toast, an episode of "Sophia the First" and a photoshoot, we were off. 

Lots of nervous moms and kids in the parking lot at preschool, but this girl was cool as a cucumber. It's her last year in preschool, so technically she is a 'senior' on this campus :) 

In our opinion, we got the very best teachers! 

They sent me this photo about an hour into school... Maisy snapping pics of her friends with this 'pretend' camera. Love it! 

One more blessed year at our church school. Feeling thankful for our sweet life :) 

Hello Third Grade

Hello Third Grade!

This was the least 'anxious' school morning she has ever had. Must be because this is our fourth year at our sweet school. Or because this kid is so awesome!

Love her and can't wait to see what adventures she has this year.

MP Cheer 2014

Cheer is back-- and this time Maisy is officially on the squad! We kicked off the season with cheer camp where the girls learned new dances and cheers.

Then the girls got to cheer at Cowboys Stadium! Afton did this a few years ago, when she was getting ready to start Kindergarten. Now Maisy got a chance to tour the DCC locker room and cheer on the field too! 

Maisy was impressed with the DCC poses and tried one herself :) She thought cheering in cowgirl boots was something she wanted to try soon! 

This is Afton's 4th year with MP Cheer. It is neat to see how much she has improved. She recruited her good friend Landry to the squad this year. I love how much they enjoy cheering together! 

It's going to be a great season!
