First Week of School

We did it! We survived our first week of school! Addison did a great job. Monday was an Open House and Addison, Brianna and I met Mrs. Pepe and checked out the classroom. Tuesday was Visiting Day and Bryan came along as well. On this day, the kids were in class a little less than 2 hours while the parents went to a meeting. Then, Thursday was the BIG day. Brianna and I dropped Addison off at 9 and waited in our first car line at noon. Addison was all smiles when she got back in the car and told me she wanted to go back. That's when I shed my first tears through all this... I am so happy she likes it. Although, the tears could be from reality setting in that I am a room mother!? Either way, here are a few pictures of my big girl on her big day.

Mommy & Daddy have Fun too!

On occassion, Bryan and I like to have a little fun too and this past Friday was our chance! A good friend of ours who shares a birthday with Bryan and Papa McGee had a big 40th Birthday Bash and we all had to dress like 80's Rockers. While it was super stressful to come up with a costume, we ended up having a blast! Bryan dressed as Kid Rock and I naturally attempted to dress as Pamela Anderson. I was told I looked like one of the playmates from 'The Girls Next Door'. Close, right? I'll just let the pictures explain...

Kid Rock and Pamela... sort of.

Full length!

Another Kid Rock. This guy had the same tattoos and even gave the finger just like Kid Rock does. He had him down perfect.

Costume prize winner. Impressive, huh?

Our Visit to Smith Lake

Okay, so truth be told that we hopped on a flight almost a month ago to head up to Smith Lake to visit Grandma and Papa Irish and I'm just now getting to post a few pictures. We had a great time as always though. Addison just loves the water and the boys had good luck this year fishing. Here are some pictures from the long weekend.
