First Day of Kindergarten

I really can NOT believe that it is time for Addison to go to Kindergarten!  She was so excited!  I am surprised she slept at all.  Here is our Kindergartner!  We went shopping for the dress over the weekend when she requested that we go shopping as a family!  

Addison's basket of goodies that she woke up to!  Bill and I made a set of bracelets Addi wore one and I wore one....it was fun!!  There was a fun book for her to read, a Mom and me journal, new tooth brush, body wash, a fun sticker book.... I had a lot of fun putting it together! 

I couldn't resist the urge to decorate...at least a little!

 Landon REALLY missed Addison today.  We were running some errands and doing a few things and every time we finished something he would ask "We go get Addi now?" "We pick Addi up at school?" 

 Walking to the bus!

 Linda is our AMAZING next door neighbor.  She has a daughter about my age I think....anyway she came to the bus stop today to hand out pencils to all the kids!  HOW SWEET!  She really does love Addi and Landon...and they adore her! 

 Addi and Sarah (I don't think Addi is that much taller...it is the way they are standing!)

Genevieve and Addison

 All the kids at the bus stop....a great picture thanks to Matt--Ryan's Dad...he is the patrol this year! So his job is to make sure the kids are safe and to help the little kiddos to their class.  He is so sweet!

 This is the part where my heart started to race and my tears started to well up! It was really going to happen! 

 Every time Addison was asked what she was most excited about it was the bus ride!  So for her this is super exciting!

 My heart has now dropped to my feet and I am breathing a little faster! We brought a gift for the bus driver....I am thinking if you tell them they are appreciated then maybe they will watch out for my baby!  The bus driver is super sweet....It is the same one as last year and she is super careful about making sure the kids are safe...especially the kindergartners!!!

 Yup really happening!

 Tears rolling down the cheeks....good thing I am hiding behind the camera!  Bill got to be here too which was great! 

 Landon skipping home with his buddy Linda!

 Yeah, so I couldn't let the bus leave and I not follow up!  I went to school to make sure everything was okay!  It was fine.  Ryan made sure Addison got to class and when I saw her she was hanging up her stuff!  We gave her teachers their gift, I got another hug, took another picture and we were off! I did okay at school! The PTA sponsored a "Boohoo breakfast" for the new parents...so I went to that and met a couple of mom's that had just moved her from......OMAHA! What are the chances?  They were both military mom's but still!  Then we were off to breakfast with Bertha....thanks for the great company!!!

 Addison's class

 Here is where my heart started to race with happiness! 

 My baby girl is back!!!  I made a plate of chocolate chip cookies to have for all the kiddos when they got off the bus!  It was fun! 

 After school surprise for Addi!

Auntie, Uncle T and Lucas gave Addison some flowers....she was eyeing the pink roses the other day at the store :)

After school Landon and Brian were playing...once Landon saw Brian had his orange goggles on it wasn't long before Landon came out in his!  They are such cute little friends!
