Jane starts Preschool!

 Jane gets to go to ALL DAY Preschool. I don't know who is most excited, her or me! Her teacher sent her confetti to sprinkle on her pillow for sweet dreams the night before school (She loved it!), then she was up and looking incredibly cute for her first day!

Cute little girls!

 Jane doesn't start school till next week. She has been practically glued to my side since her big sisters have been at school. I asked her today if she would miss me when she went to school. Her reply, with a borderline disgusted look on her face, "no. I won't miss you. I'm a big girl"

 Emily looking super cute for church. She was wearing a dress originally given to Abigail, but those 2 look the most alike so it's fun to have them both in this cute dress!

School's Back in Session

 4th and 2nd Grade, here come the Walter Girls!! Jane as a delayed start--so she will be coming eventually. Kate has Mrs Cosby, and Abby Mrs Waters. I love watching these girls learn and grow!

Finishing up Summer

 Jane eating mac & cheese in the van at the church parking lot. She would not get out of the car till her bowl was empty--a motherhood first.

 Then Abigail created her own hairstyle to go meet the teacher. I guess first impressions aren't everything...

Our girls have been taking Come Follow Me so seriously! I love their passion for learning the Gospel

 Jane and Emily having fun in the van --such cuties

And Emily wearing her first cheerleader uniform (probably only!!) GO COUGARS!

We Made it 13 Years!!

Today we celebrated 13 years of marriage by buying a new chair to replace an ugly one we've had almost our entire marriage. And of course stuffing our faces. The face stuffing is probably the reason you cant even see the chair we are sitting on in the first picture.....but isn't that what growing old together

means?

Abigail's 7th birthday

 Abby had her traditional sleepover with Aspen and Eden the night before her birthday pool party! She loves having her cousins over to play! And we had a pool party at the Jacob's to celebrate this mermaid loving girl. Abigail is everything happy and loving. We are lucky to have her in our family.

 Then-- a mere day after her birthday Abby got slime stuck in her hair. Instead of telling me--she cut it out herself. I had to chop the rest off to match it. Sadly, I don't think she learned her lesson because she loves it! I will begrudgingly admit it is cute.

Awesome August

Our August was busy busy! We started dog sitting Michael's puppy Bella. And the girls played summer basketball. Kate got her first free throw in a game!

 We went to Ohio for a visit. Carter is growing so fast, and is super cute! We went to the Newport Aquarium.

 The girls loved seeing everything-- Abby was in heaven with the Penguins, and then they walked across the shark bridge. Emily charged across it like it was nothing!

 Trying to take a group picture outside but the sun was bright. Their faces are priceless!

 We had an Ohio birthday party for Abby. Cake and Ice Cream Sundays.

 
 Back at home everyone adjusted to Bella quickly. And Emily got an amazing Black eye that looked like purple eye shadow
