School Days are here!

Claire sitting by her desk partner and current crush Brandon. Claire is so ready and excited to be starting kindergarten this year. We love her teacher Mrs. Stephens and think this year will be an exciting one for Claire. She had kindergarten testing this week her teacher was so impressed at how well she did that she said next week she will be sending home books for Claire to start reading. She is a smart little cookie but more importantly she is kind, sweet and thoughtful of others.
After spending ample amount of time round brushing Claire's hair I came outside to take her picture only to find her dancing in the rain. Wet hair sprayed hair looks AWESOME!!

Claire just had to hold her mouth like that so "everyone can see all my teeth that are gone." She is too sweet and often times thinks she is Hannah Montana(take note of the outfit, the top was glitter galore)


Emerson was so excited to be starting the 3rd grade that she got up every 3 hours to check the time. She is so thrilled with her teacher Mrs. Breese this year, she is super cute, super nice just how teachers should be! The neatest thing about her according to Emerson is that she worked at Disneyland before becoming a teacher. We are excited to see what this year has in store for our Emerson she is a brilliant girl who just loves to learn and has a real ability to absorb everything that is given to her. She has spent every year starting with kindergarten in the S.E.M. program(program for gifted children) We are proud of her for her willingness to learn, her pride in her school work, and just how much she loves learning. Not only is her outer beauty stunning, but her heart is just as beautiful.



The girls had so much fun school shopping this year with Gramma Shawna. Gramma had them sleepover at her house and the next morning she took the girls to the mall to shop and out to lunch. They had such a fun day shopping with Gramma and when they got home they tried all their clothes on for us. Grampa also did a little shopping for the girls on his lunch breaks....he headed to Gymboree(his favorite little shop) and picked out thee cutest little outfits for the girls as well.
Thanks gramma and grampa for taking the girls shopping. They had a BLAST(and they look pretty darn cute too!)

What a fun time in everyones life. First day of school for the year, first day of school ever for Claire. I agree on the fine tribute that you wrote about the sweet little girls. While you were writing, cohen was probably out back packing the dogs full of mud. The whole family is sweet.

Love, Grandpa Curtis
