First Day of School

Mackenzie was very excited to start Grade 3 this year - finally one of the big kids in the school! Her teacher is a very good friend of ours so remembering to call her Mrs. Hildebrand instead of Tracey is always a challenge! Mackenzie was especially excited to reconnect with all of her friends once again!

Cole's first day of Kindergarten! He was so pumped and excited as you can see by the smile on his face. He was also very proud of his new backpack which is almost the same size as he is! Cole was also excited that many of his best buds are also in is class! Once he hit the playground it didn't take long for big sister Mackenzie to find him and take him under her loving wing!

Cole's 5th Birthday Party

Cole had a Speed Racer party to celebrate his 5th birthday! I can't believe he is now 5!!!! He had a great time with all of his buddies and there was never a dull moment! The boys moved very quickly from one activity to another - it's amazing how much energy 5 year old boys seem to have! We started off the party with a game of Speed Racer Tag! After that a quick game of soccer! Then onto a Scavenger Hunt for the Stolen Cars. Next a Speed Racer Water Obstacle course including a run through the slip & slide, jumping over the sprinkler, bouncing through the spraying water guns and finally ending on the trampoline! By this time everyone was eager and ready for the presents! Thanks for all of the great gifts! Next was a very slow ride on the four wheeler using the trailer while Mom got supper ready. The boys chowed down on cheese pizza, carrot sticks & chips! Cole was very excited to blow out all of this candles on his Speed Racer cake! What a great party!
