Tyler's First Day
Tyler was so excited today for his first day in Kindergarten. His teacher's name is Mrs. Davis. He thinks that is pretty neat because he also has a Grandma and Grandpa Davis. Tyler is so ready for school although I think he is especially excited about riding the bus to school each day.

First Day for Justin
Justin's first day of 3rd grade was today. The first day of Kindergarten is tomorrow for Tyler. He decided to go along with Dad today to cheer on his big brother.
Here is a picture of Justin with his best buddies, James and Ethan. They are so happy to be in the same class again this year.
I love my handsome third grader!

Fun with Grandpa
We felt lucky to have Grandpa Davis stay for 2 weeks to help with Allie and the boys. He took the boys on many adventures that they will remember for a long time. Including outings to the magic forest down our street, a trip to the dollar store & Subway for lunch, playing with Lego's and dinosaurs, soccer games and the zoo.
In the midst of all that fun, he made time to make us yummy meals and helped Travis with a big project in our garage.
When my parents came out to help after Justin was born (9 years ago this next May), my Dad came up with the idea to build stacked-to-the-ceiling shelving units for storage space in our one car garage. My brother, Jared, was here to help. So, Travis, Jared and my Dad went to work all that week in the garage. Bless them. Ever since then, we have loved those shelves.
After living in this house for nearly 9 years and adding two more kids to our crew, we just have more stuff. Now that we have another munchkin with all of her munchkin things, we have been starting to feel a bit crowded in our home sweet home. We have four bedrooms but hardly ANY storage space throughout the house. Small rooms, small closets, no basement, you get the picture. I have been getting good at purging and passing on things we don't really need anymore. But as Travis tells me now, "We can't throw away everything!"
When my parents came out to help with Allie when she was born, my Dad came up with a new solution for our garage: Building a garage-wide suspended storage unit over the garage door. He and Travis worked hard for more than a week to build an awesome storage space. It was so funny one day when my dad was drilling into the ceiling of the garage which in directly below our bedroom where I was rocking Allie. I knocked a loud "Hello" on my wall, "Da, da-da-da-da..." and he answered with a "da-da" knocked on the ceiling. It cracked me up that I could hear him laughing down there. Here is a picture of the work in progress:
And of course, he also enjoyed lots of cuddle time with baby Allie.
We sure missed Grandpa when he left to go back home. Please come again soon!!!
