{Kindergarten, Friend, and Pictures}

So, Gavin came up to me yesterday and was holding the FRIEND magazine in his hands, open to a certain page. He pointed to the page and said, "Mom, will you make this with me?" It was a recipe for chocolate chip banana bread. I looked at the ingredients and sure enough we have everything we needed to make it. I let the boys make the bread, which is good for me b/c usually i am really OCD about people trying to help me cook in my kitchen....BELIEVE IT OR NOT. :) haha! And i am really not an OCD person...so i don't know why i am with that! ): Anyway, they made it and when it was done they ate it down! It was really yummy bread. I just started getting the FRIEND and Gavin really likes it. He turns to every page and wants me to read the entire magazine for him. I am glad we get it now.

NEXT....I took Gavin's kindergarten pictures. He starts kindergarten in about a week and a half. He is so darn excited! We already got him his school supplies, his new backpack and a lunch pack. I must admit, i am excited for him to start too. He needs it. He is bored at home. So, i decided to take his kindergarten pictures and i also took some of Tanner. I am going to do homeschool preschool for Tanner this year. I plan to do it with him everyday. There are lots of website that provide great information on what i can do with him in preschool. So, here are there pictures. Now i just have to send them out to family.


I really wish i could have done these b&w pics in color, BUT it was SOOOO HOT and Gavin's cheeks were flaming red by this point. It is miserable taking outdoor pics during this time of year. I really need to wait until the weather starts cooling off. We got home and shane was like "is your shirt all wet?" Sure enough, it was. I had no idea, but i was sweating like crazy. It was hard to get these pictures b/c the boys didn't like the heat much either. I am glad i started picking up my camera again. I had been in quite a slump for awhile, but with a little help from looking at some CUTE pics that my friend took i think i am now back on the bandwagon. :) We will see. :)
