First Day of School

First day of school this year was a doozy for mom.  

Kendall's first day of high school.

Carter's LAST first day of high school.

Just give me a moment over here...

Play [bocce] Ball!!

Weekends are still quite different without a tournament to go to, and the bazillion things that go along with that. We still play ball...just a different kind...and still just as competitive as ever!  ;)

The Baby

Well, she's officially a high-schooler now. We took her to freshman orientation and got the lay of the land for her classes.  Buckle up...here we go!

My Whole Heart

They actually stood for this picture with *almost* no complaining.

The Beginning of the End

 Well, here we are at Carter's senior year of high school.....ready or not. It's going to be a whole bunch of "lasts" this year, and I am not sure how to wrap my mind around it.  One of the cool things his school does for the seniors is allow them to purchase their own parking spot for the year, and to paint it with an approved design.  Carter opted to go with the Thin Blue Line flag, and it was a tricky little design considering the parking spots are off-kilter. But we got it done and he's pretty happy with the final outcome.  

I am still not sure how we went from diapers and bottles to his senior year...buckle up!  To me, he'll always be the little boy whose tongue is out when he's concentrating (see if you can spot it in the pics).

3-Peat Champ!

It should come as no shock that this girl has done it again. Senior Grand Champion Sheep Showman...and the third year IN A ROW that she has earned the title of Overall Senior Sheep Showman.  What an amazing accomplishment!!
