Last night we were at Kate Sessions Elementary for "Back To School Night" and it proved to be non-stop fun from start to finish. We all had a great time and enjoyed being with Jack while he showed us his school!!!
Rubio's catered dinner and we all enjoyed our chicken tacos and chips and salsa while talking with other KSE families.
We had our dinner here in the outdoor lunch arbor -- the place where Jack has lunch every day with his "lunch bunch" (a group of boys that were all together last year in class but are all in different classes this year.)!!!
After dinner we headed into Room 10 -- Mrs. Kenyon's 2nd Grade!
Jack's classroom is so warm and welcoming and I know that this is a place that Jack's loves to be and enjoys learning here!!!
Jack gave us a tour of his classroom and showed us all the work that the kids have been doing and all the great things they are learning about.
Here is our 2nd grader sitting at his desk!!!
He really wanted us to see the "word wall!"
We also got to met the class "pets"!!!Yes, that is a tarantula!!
(She has a name but I can't remember what it is -- oops!)
And here are the lizards!"Cookie" and "Cream"!!!
Jack and Nick both love the lizards!
At the beginning of the year Mrs. Kenyon had the kids draw a self portrait and then write a letter to the class introducing themselves.Here is our Jack!!!
And here is a close up of his letter. I had to share this because as I read this last night I had tears in my eyes and I'm just so proud of my boy!!! He is a joy and he sure knows how to make a Mom beam with pride!!! Take a moment to read it -- I know I'm a lot bias but I think it's super cute and sweet!!!Totally Jack!!!
After we were done in the classroom Jack wanted to show us some of the other places that he spends time at while in school.Our first stop the Library!!
(Any surprises there? If you know Jack you know he loves to read so it should come as no surprise that our first stop was the library!!)
I think this is just a sweet, cute little library!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today we celebrate the fall of the wall!
Happy Birthday Jack!!!
This morning Jack told me that I needed to "fix Nick's hair". I asked Jack "WHY?"
Jack said "Because he has show offs this morning!"
Oh how my boys make me laugh!!!
We went to Bates Nut Farm to spend the day............ 
in the pumpkin patch!!!
Looking for the perfect pumpkins to carve into Jack-o-lanterns this Halloween!
and finally found three perfect pumpkins to bring home!
The boys enjoyed the farm and all the fun things they got to do!
And running around the straw maze looking for the 8 stamps was great fun!
The tractor ride through the fields was a huge hit!!!
And playing in the rows of corn was lots of fun!
We had a great day on the farm and enjoyed the Southern California "fall weather"!!
After dinner we headed into Room 10 -- Mrs. Kenyon's 2nd Grade!

After we were done in the classroom Jack wanted to show us some of the other places that he spends time at while in school.
Jack was so excited to show me where he finds "all the dinosaur books"!!!
And while Jack showed me where the dino books are located, Nick rearranged the carpet mats in perfect groups!! 
Then we got to see the computer lab...........
the Spanish classroom................
and the Art Room!!!
While Jack was at school my workman Nick worked on the fence in our backyard!!!
After school we picked Jack up and headed to one of our favorite places -- MCSS for our swim lessons with Jen!!
After a great swim lesson and the first one that Daddy ever got to see we went home to change out of wet swim suits before heading back up to Kate Sessions for Seahawk Pride kickoff!!!
The boys had a great time playing a little hopscotch............
and 4 square!!!!
After dinner and some games -- the boys took part in the cupcake walk!! 
And enjoyed the sweet taste of victory!!! (Even if Daddy had to buy the cupcakes!)
We had a great time cheering for Jack and the Muckdogs!!!
This season has been so great and Jack has really grown up playing baseball this summer!
He has found a true love of the game and has enjoyed every minute of the season.
After watching the dolphins and pilot whales we headed into the stadium to watch a show that we haven't seen all summer!!!
As many times as we've been to Sea World and seen Shamu we always love it!!! 
After the show was done we went over to the tide pools!
The boys always enjoy being able to reach right into the water and touch the sea life!!!
There was one place that we had to go again before we left --
It was very fun to watch and so exciting!!!
And Nick did this while Jack and Daddy were playing!!
We all did a lot of watching of these little guys!
Jack is reading a book I can remember reading as a kid -- WOW!!!
