First Day of School!

Well, this was a week of firsts for the Hunters... Monday was my first day at the University, Tuesday was Daphne's first day of Preschool, and Wednesday was Isaac's first day of Kindergarten! I was bummed that I would be teaching on Isaac's first day, but Matt took off work to take him and pick him up, and I think it was for the best seeing that I cried at Back to School night and at his Kindergarten Assessment!
Here is Daphne on Tuesday morning right outside her classroom!

I decided to make a "First Day of School Cake" for the kids each year... I know I am not much of a cake decorator, but it's functional enough... At the bottom are their initials and the grade they will be entering this year. The idea is that we make it together the night before school starts and then we can eat a piece of cake when they come home and they can tell me about their day at school! I hope it will continue to work in the future...



He looks so grown up with his back pack on...

Here is Isaac all lined up with his class... he is the tallest one!


I guess Isaac's first day went well... he was a little teary eyed and kept saying that he needed to barf! We thought he was just nervous, but later that evening, he threw up his "First Day of School Cake" all over our van! Yuck- I have definitely had more enjoyable days! Daphne is doing really well in her class- she never wants to leave! School is going very well for me also, and Matt is just chugging along trying to keep up with all of us!

Daphne's Birthday

Okay, so I have been a slacker and haven't posted about Daphne's Birthday in July. We celebrated it early in July with Matt's family in Utah, and then on the actual day while in Texas. Actually, Daphne thought that we were going to Texas for her birthday! So, here are some pics...

GiGi was so sweet to make a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Cake for Daphne, who was thrilled!

Busy...

I just thought I would add a post saying.... I'm too busy to post! I am getting ready for school to start for me and Daphne and Isaac, being a Mommy and helping at Church, and well... I'll post something as soon as I can...

Tea Parties and Dress Ups!

My mom had a plethora of dress up clothes for Daphne to use during our recent visit... Daphne made good use of all of them! Also my dear friend Carole gave Daphne a tea set for her birthday and Isaac and Daphne enjoy having tea parties now! Here are some pics of them playing at my Mom's house...
