Jayda Starts Pre-K & We Meet Emma Lou!

Last friday when daddy got home the girls thought it would be fun to pull out all kinds of dress up clothes, shoes of all kinds - old, new, dress up etc., old clothes & toys and pretty much anything they could find to play with in Jayda's room.

Jayda put on as much stuff as she could, silly girl. Quite the outfit little lady!


The girls had so much stuff out and made quite a big mess, but they were having so much fun!


A few weeks ago Nana and Pawpaw got a new horse named Emma Lou. The girls absolutely love her! They love riding her, feeding her, bathing her and pretty much everything! The girls had already met her a few weekends ago when Jacob and I were out of town, so we went up again this past weekend to meet miss Emma Lou. She is a very pretty and sweet horse and the girls are going to have so much fun growing up with her!

We finally got to meet miss Emma Lou!!


Sweet sisters going out for a ride on Emma.


Daddy and Sydney riding her.


"Hiiiiii Mommy!"


Big sister needed to stop for a drink.


"Aaaahh!"


The girls got to ride Emma one more time before we had to come home. The wind was blowing like crazy and it felt like a storm was about to come in at any minute.


Love this pic of the girls!


Mommy and Sydney riding on Emma. Jayda loves to walk her! She also loves to feed her, bathe her, brush her etc. Sydney just wants to ride her all the time.


The Sanders came over for dinner on Labor Day and the girls had lots of fun playing outside.


Sydney had to get in on the action too. Jayda loved riding on the back, my sweet little dare devil!


Jayda started Pre-K this week and loves it! She goes to school 3 days a week now from 9-2:00. It is so good for her, and for mommy and Sydney to get some alone time. She is already learning so much and having a blast.

Daddy walking Jayda into class on her first day of Pre-K. Yay!


Can't belive she's already 4 and starting Pre-K! What a big girl!


All ready to go in to class. Little sister wanted to be in the picture too, sweet girl!


When she got to her class she had playdough and cookie cutters to start the morning off, how fun!


I thought it would be fun to write down a few "funny firsts" each year on the girls first day of school for them to remember a few things about each grade.

Jayda's Funny Firsts of Pre-K:
-She was SO excited that she now gets 2 recess since she's in pre-k, not preschool where you only get 1 recess. And, she gets the 2nd recess when the younger classes are napping so that makes it even better because she did not like nap time last year.
-She asked her new teacher if she could go down the hallway and see Ms. Rosie (her teacher from last year, also her first teacher ever) because she really missed her.
-When she saw Ms.Rosie they blew each other kisses, so sweet!
-She played with Jenna most of the first day and even asked her for a rieces pieces at lunch.
-She also likes to play with Brock a lot.
-She learned how to "zip" her mouth shut when the teacher asked her to. She learned about the different times she'd have to zip her mouth like in the hallway, during quiet time, etc.
-Told me she couldn't talk while she ate lunch because she would choke.
-She was very excited to play with Isabelle and Lizzy (from her class last year) at recess.
-Learned about the different "inside" and "outside" voices. She told me she had to talk quietly inside and she could be very loud outside.
-One of her favorite things on the first day was listening to the Clifford book on the headphones at the reading station.
-Everyone kept their clip on green the first day, yay!
-She loved the cash register in her class because it has a belt on it that moves the pretend groceries. Said that was her favorite toy.
-When she got home after school on the first day I heard her playing with her baby dolls and telling them "1,2, eyes on me!" Guess she heard that a lot the first day.

Me and miss Sydney headed out for a run to the park while Jayda was at school.


Sydney wanted to go and feed the baby ducks at the park, so we did.


She LOVES the baby ducks and could stand there and feed them all day. She had so much fun!


Yesterday morning we went out to another park and had fun playing together.


Time for a snack break. We have had a lot of fun spending time together while big sister has been at school.

What cute pictures! The girls look like they really enjoy the horse. So since Jayda is in Pre-K this year, will she be starting kindergarden next year?? Can that be possible? She's growing up so fast.
