Rielly's glad to be at school with Aunt Mandy!

The girls had a great first day! They were very excited about their teachers and activities. Rielly did alot of review work and was excited about the new soccer team*. Chaise was able to make a catapillar and met some new friends.

*Daddy will be the Co-Ed Elementary Soccer Coach for JCA!

Playing Outside

They named their swings after Grandpaw and Gramma's horse and mule -

Cowboy and Possom.

Kailee's First Day at School!!!

Today was Kailee's first day at school. She is going to MeMaw's House. She met lots of new friends and had a good time. She didn't want to eat breakfast today- guess the waffles were just a little too much. She had a fun, fun time, but didn't talk much.

Getting Ready...

Scrub those teeth...

Chaise is getting ready too

and so is Rielly.

Everybody got ready for school so Kailee would feel comfortable on her first day. We all pretended like we were going to school because we love Kailee soooo much!

~ Can't you hear her saying that ~

Ringling Brother and Barnum & Bailey Circus!!!

We were able to go to the Circus because the girls were outstanding readers. Actually, the lady at the library was very nice to us and gave us the tickets since we didn't have a chance to read 250 books in two weeks. Thank you Burleson Library lady!

Kailee's favorite part was the Pachyderms

The White Tigers were cool...

There was a monster food fight that involved the elephant and a bunch of clowns.

Chomping down on some cotton candy. What would the circus be without some sweet snacks.

Ringling Brother and Barnum & Bailey Circus!!!

We bought some cotton candy that was served in a hat. Everybody got to try the hat on. It was a nice souvenir since the cotton candy was super-over-priced.

Daddy and Kailee watched most of the circus together.

Kailee was clapping for the elephants.

Where in the world did she learn this...

We really had a good time at the circus. The girls asked if we could come back "the next day" to the circus again. Unfortunately, we only had 1 round of free tickets.

Also, American Airlines Center is incredible. Hopefully we will be able to get some Mavs tickets and check out an NBA game here.
