We went to school to practice soccer, hence the soccer cleats.  She was so excited to show me what she learned on the jungle gym.

Games at the Frappe House

Our church opened a Frappe House (coffee house) on our church campus. 

The kids and I went to play games and get hot chocolate after school on Friday

Playing connect 4 

Notice her press on nails 

We also played UNO...so fun!

Hand lettering class

I went to a hand lettering class (kind of like modern calligraphy-using any pen type).  

My first project, made that night

Red Bank Girls Soccer Club

Mason started soccer with the Red Bank Girls U8 Soccer Club...

guess who her coach is....Her DAD! 

Warm up and stretch with the girls 

Before her first game 

What a cutie! 

We have 12 girls on the team and 7 came out to the first game (because the schedule got changed last minute and they played at 4:30pm on a very HOT day)

They play 4 on 4 on a field.
Mason scored the first goal for our team and they won the game 9 to 8. 

Way to go Bobcats!

(Eliana, Malea, Isabella, Dalia, Aseem, Avery and Mason)

Silly kids at school

Corben now picks up Mason at her classroom next door and they come and meet us at the volleyball/basketball courts 

Silly faces 

Mason's wacky Wednesday socks

Her teacher is great and takes pictures during the day!

Caleb's birthday

Look who turned 39!! 

We had a relaxed day at home watching sports and hanging out together as a family! 

Hard to see Caleb, but the candles made quite the flame! 

Out to dinner, teppanyaki style, we tried a new place and loved it 

Then we went to church on Saturday evening, the kids sitting on the new steps as part of the new courtyard. 

Mason's quote

We received this email from Mason's teacher, 

Mrs. Hillman.....

"Miss Mason is so Stinkin cute! So mature and totally "with it". Yesterday there was a student whining and she told me, "my mom said life isn't always fair and it sure isn't." I laughed so hard. She's a wonderful student to have! Love her to pieces." 

...

That's our girl.  Always cracking us up!  Glad she is sharing her awesome self with her teacher and classmates!

Glitter fun

Getting ready for Mason's birthday next month

I printed this cute design in glitter and did heat transfer to her shirt

It turned out so cute! 

Here are a couple other ones I made

(First one is for school: hard to read, Red Bank Bobcats)

Mason lost 3 teeth in one week!

Mason lost her top front tooth the weekend before school started 

Her second tooth was lost the second day of 1st grade, the other front tooth 

Then last night she lost the bottom left tooth (right in the picture)

True jack-o-lantern mouth!

Mason 1st grade

Mason's teacher took these cute pics

At her 1st school rally 

The teacher has a great app that she can upload videos and pictures for all the parents. 

First day back to School...1st and 3rd grade

The kids woke up to cinnamon rolls and strawberries for breakfast...notice those smiles!  Mom is smiling too- this is the first year they are both in school for the full day!    

Holding up fingers for 3rd grade and 1st grade

Corben's teacher is Mrs. Johnson

Mason's teacher is Mrs. Hillman 

So handsome and beautiful 

Mason has her own desk!  Woohoo! Corben and I walked in to see her desk.  Corben then wanted me to walk into his room- but all the parents waited outside and only the kids went in for 3rd grade-growing up so fast!

Praying over them, the other children and the teachers.

...

I went to the welcome parent PTC meet & greet and met 3 new moms at the school today, one mother has a son in Corben's class.  Excited for this new school year!!

Mason & Alexyandria

Mason invited Alexyandria to play...first up...Babies and tea time 

Next...swimming 

Lots of fun jumps off the diving board 

Corben jumped in on the fun 

 

 

The girls even did backstroke starts and swam like the olympic swimmers across the pool 

Lots of giggles and laughs, these girls had a great time together
