It Must Be Fall!

First Days of School, Tooth Fairy Visits, Avery's 2year Checkup and Auburn Football!  It must be Fall!!


Hailey's First Day of Kindergarten!



Lainey and Avery were excited for Hailey's first day too!

Ready to go!

Typical car ride.

She didn't even turn around to wave goodbye to Mommy! :-(

Off she goes!

My big Kindergartner.

Getting to know each other.

Miss Hargis' Kindergarten Class 2015-16


Meanwhile, while Hailey was having a great first day of kindergarten...Lainey and Avery played with Ella and Hudson while Mommy cried with my best friend because my little girl is growing up.
Lainey and Avery liked the alone time together while Hailey was at school.  

Avery loves getting all of her bis sister Lainey's attention!

Lainey is such a great big sister and Mommy's helper!

Holding hands across the street on the way into the YMCA with Mommy. 


They've been loving the Child Watch at the Y.  

Poor Avery can't keep up with her sisters' new busy schedules.  Sadly, the third child has to sneak in a nap wherever she can!


She couldn't wait to go back to kindergarten the next day!

Opening Chapel Service on the Green
It was a special morning for Hailey as St. Catherine's celebrated it's 125th school year.  At the begining of each school year the kindergartners get to walk in with a senior as they begin their journey in the lower school. Hailey didn't get to walk with Bridget (our neighbor, babysitter and friend) because she was performing during the ceremony, but Hailey got to meet up with her afterwards for some big hugs and pictures.

Hailey was very excited to tell her classmates that her friend was up there performing in front of the whole school (985 girls!)! 




Kindergarten Popsicle Social

Hailey was excited to see her old JK friends during her class popsicle social before school started.  

These three have been glued to each other!
Avery and Lainey had fun exploring a new playground!


Lainey found one of her preschool friends on the playground too!



First Day in the Green Room for Lainey and Orange Room for Avery

Lainey is VERY excited about being one of the oldest kids in the school this year!


Avery was excited to see that she has the same teacher this year!  She was having so much fun on her first day that she cried (kicked and screamed) when it was time to leave!



Ready to rule St. Stephen's Preschool!

Avery was so happy that she was finally big enough to go down the stairs all by herself!

Off they go!

They were very excited about playing on the playground again!





Guess What She Wants For Christmas??!!


The Tooth Fairy has been busy at our house!  Hailey lost her front tooth during school on her 3rd day of kindergarten!

She got to bring home the Tooth Fairy bag from school and was very proud of herself!

The Tooth Fairy brought Hailey and baby sea turtle.  

And a few days later...she's asking for her two front teeth for Christmas!

First she learned how to ride a two wheeler and had her first day of kindergarten,  now she's losing her teeth and before I know it, she'll be asking me for the car keys!

Happy Golden Birthday to our spunky red headed toddler!

Weagle Weagle War Eagle!

We had lots of fun dressing up and cheering on the Tigers during the Chick-fil-A kickoff game.  The girls tried to find Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa in the stands on tv, but had no such luck.  



Back to Gymnastics

Back to school means back to after school activities!  The girls were excited about starting gymnastics again!



Hailey did an unassisted pull over for the first time during her first class back!

Avery is very proud of her big sisters and can't wait until she can take gymnastics too!

CORE cutie.

Lainey and Layla's Trip to Water Country

Lainey had a solo sleepover at Gigi and Babu's house and got to squeeze in one last trip to Water Country before it closed.  They had a blast together!







Dress up at Layla's house. 

Hailey and Avery went to Sunday school with Mommy and Daddy and then went to lunch at Joe's Inn.

After dinner we played outside and made S'mores by the firepit.  Then we had a dance party outside with Kaitlyn after it got dark out!




Fun with Kaitlyn

We sure are lucky to have such great neighbors!  Kaitlyn is the girls' favorite friend and they couldn't be cuter together!

Hailey and Lainey have been best buddies lately.  They get along so well and love playing together.  They've even been sleeping in the same bed together all summer.


Sweet dreaming sisters.
