Grandpa's turning 80!

For my Grandpa's 80th Birthday, his children (my mom and her siblings) decided to put together a scrapbook (shhhh...it's a surprise). Each of his children along with all their children were asked to make a scrapbook page of their family on one side, and a memory you have of him on the other. I Love to scrapbook so I was very excited. This last weekend my family got together and put our pages together. Here is ours....

A friend of mine took us to Salem pond and snapped a few photo's of us since we haven't been able to get a new picture taken yet. I love how the ones of Myllie & Ethan turned out.

I liked this one of me and Myllie

We are hoping to have some professional pictures taken soon. But for this project these turned out great. My Grandpa Terry is a wonderful man, and I am so grateful to be his granddaughter. I Love You Grandpa, Happy Birthday!

No Training Wheels

Ethan got a bike for his birthday about a month ago. For two straight days he talked about nothing but taking off his training wheels. This is his very first bike so I though that maybe towards the end of the fall he would be a pro with no training wheels. Scott took off his training wheels and started practicing with him.

He started getting the balance down and was doing pretty good! Instead of putting his foot down so he wouldn't fall, he would fall very dramatically. It was kind of funny to watch.

Myllie was having fun doing tricks, so show Ethan just how easy riding a bike is.

Ethan fell a few times, he was a trooper. He did very well for his first day of practicing.

Looks like he will be a pro much earlier than expected. Way to go Ethan!!

**Myllie's First Week of 2nd Grade**

Myllie was extremely nervous for her first day of school. I reassured her that she would make new friends and have lots of fun! It took her a little while to decide what the perfect first day outfit would be. We got her all ready and she started to get a little excited. She loves to pose for the camera, my little model!

I do not think that it will get any easier watching my kids leave for school and be gone all day. When Myllie came home she was non stop telling me all about her first day. I was glad to hear she ended up having a great day. She told me about the little girl that has the prettiest sparkle shoes she has ever seen. By the end of the week all her nervousness had gone and she loved getting up everyday for school. I am so glad that Myllie loves going to school, and learning! Hopefully that will last for a long time. According to Myllie this is going to be her best year ever!
