Back to School Survival Mutual

Last night we had a Back to School mutual activity at church.  I made Survival kits - found the idea here. We had the girls list their fall time activities on our YW calendar so we could go and support them. Then we had each girl stand in front of the chalkboard and all the other girls wrote cute things around them - seen on Pinterest. We took their picture with their decorated board and erased it all before they could see it. We'll print all the photos and display them for the girls to see. It was really cute and the girls loved it.
 My "apple" cupcakes (red velvet of course!) 
 These are the little notes and treats that went into the survival kits
I used red bags from Hobby Lobby - Target also has red lunch paper lunch bags that are less expensive.  
Red velvet cupcakes with pretzel stick stems and frosting leaf :)

School pictures

School Pictures - we've taken them every year with every child until now. Ryan's school didn't give them order forms until the day of pictures - so he didn't have money to turn in - so he didn't get pictures!
You may say, "What about retakes?"... well, you can't get them unless you paid the first time...argh!
His school has broken our family tradition :(  
Here's Tess at least (no Ryan though)

Baseball Season

Ryan just finished his high school baseball season. They had a great year - I love watching him play. I think it's my favorite sport to watch him play (he loves any and all sports!).
He is awesome at stealing bases and played 3rd base and outfield - he can really run and catch a mean pop-up! He just caught the winning hit for the season this past week! I love this player!

Last Awards

I can't believe my last little chicken has finished elementary school! They don't have elementary graduations where we live but we had the annual awards ceremony. It was very bittersweet attending this year.
Great job Tess on all your hard work in school!
We love you like crazy :)
