Oh September! and back to school!

This is year Bear gets to go to school with me! He's in kindergarten with Mrs. Croyt (I aided for both kinder classes last year).  This year I am the 2nd grade aide with Mrs. Robles and I get the awesome opportunity to do my student teaching with her! She's great teacher to have as my mentor teacher woo hoo!!


First Day of Kindergarten!!!!

Labor Day pool shenanigans with cousins at grandpa deans and grandma mia's!

First week of school- DONE!

Aubree had a karate birthday party!! so fun!!
they had to write  a bad habit they have at home towards their parents... bears was "talking back."  they they had to "break" the bad habit by breaking the board!
Our 2nd grade parents are awesome! They went all out and surprised Mrs. Robles for her birthday! (couldnt find the original pix so I took a screen shot!)
 

Bear's been loving dodgeball at school... so he's been wanting to practice at home!
Bear has been lovin playing dodgeball at school!!- so much so that he asked papa if they could go outside and practice! It's so fun to watch him play at recess!!

Bears first kinder birthday party at Pump It Up for his classmate O'lexis...
Our school decided that for our beginning of the year fundraiser we weren't gonna sell cookies, etc, but rather we were gonna raise money so that we could get smartboards in each classroom! annnnnd we did it! we went above our goal! yay to the parents, families, and friends who donated and supported financially!

and because we met our goal, our principal got a pie in the face!
Our dear friends, the knicks, had a gender reveal party for the 3rd baby! drum roll::: a BOY!!!
 
first of the pumpkins at Trader Joes...

Grrrr see that ledge with the lil steps by the bushes?! That's right outside my door and as I headed out for an early, dark morning run - I was stopped!!! (and this time I even had a mini flashlight!!) there was a COYOTE on that ledge!!!! It was dark and i saw it crouched down in like an attack position. It scampered and snarled and freakin growled at me! I booked it in fear n terror back to my door (which was barely 10ft away) and luckily the 
door didn't shut all the way and opened but I fell hard on my knees at he door and hubby said fear and terror was all over my face! darn coyotes scared the living day lights outta me!! And no run waa!
