Cooper's first day of kindergarten I wake up at 6:30 am to make sure I would be ready before the kids. I was all prepared to ball my eyes out. I even had water proof mascara on, just to be safe. My Mom came over at about 7:30 am to watch Carter and Reagan to make it extra special for Cooper. We took the traditional pictures in front of the house and took off for his very first day in REAL school.....bracing myself for the flood of tears that would come. When we got there he was sooooooooooo excited he could hardly stand it. We filled out a little work sheet together, and he was off on the play ground. I watched him play....he never looked back at Mom, the whistle blew, he lined up, said good bye, and that was IT! He was like, "See ya MOM!" That's it? I mean really? I figured if he isn't crying then I guess I don't have to. Good thing I wore water proof mascara.....FOR NOTHING!!
The Sunday before the big day I made a back to school cake. I do that every year to get the kids excited for the year to come. They loved it. The recipe is on my recipe blog, Sauce Sensations link.
Finding his class with Grandma and Grandpa. Bryan, Kathryn, and Brynna came to, but I only got a pic of their rears and I don't think they would have wanted me to post it.
His class!!
Coop and Carter on Grandpa's legs.
Walking back to the car.
The big morning with my big boy.
About to say good bye for the day.
Picking my biggest boy up from his very first day. He was such a good boy and had so much fun his first day. His teacher seems adorable, seen in the blue shirt, and I am excited for this new school year. I can't wait for all the new experiences our little family will have this year.

Yay for kindergarten!!! Kael loves school so much! It is such a relief to me that he does! By the way I believe you still have the book, somewhere in storage (:
K, first your family isn't little!
I freaking love the giant cheesy grins that Coop has in the first few pictures. I can tell he is really excited.
Is it just me or is he head and shoulders taller then most the other kids in his class?

I'm with Megan, he looks so much bigger than everyone else. I love the moldings on your house they turned out awesome. Love the cake, you are a good mom and how in earth do you have a kid in kindergarten you look like you are 18.
