Vertuccio Farms

Since we have the Bennett kiddos visiting from California this week the family decided to take a trip to Vertuccio Farms this weekend.  We had the Arizona Bennetts, California Bennetts (minus Dave and Linds), Alisa family, some Porter kiddos, Grandma Bennett, Us and Josh, Chris and Liv along for the ride! The cousins had such a fun time playing with each other!

We took up the whole ride! 

 

After we ended up at Grandma Bennetts house with some tired kiddos that Uncle got to snuggle!

Fall break California trip

We took a trip out to California to visit Uncle David, Aunt Lindsay and our cousins over fall break.  Like every time we had such a great time! Chad was counting down the days and then cried the whole last day because he didn't want to leave his cousins.  I can't blame him!

Yay for LEGOLAND!

 

We sure LOVE these kiddos!

Thanks again Bennett family for an amazing time! We love you guys! 

Power Ranch Fall Festival

We took cousin Brigham and went to the Power Ranch Fall Festival late last month.  They had a small hay maze that Chad and Brig loved, some cool scarecrows, a petting zoo and lots of food trucks there!

 

 

Chads favorite scarecrow (Could you guess?)

 

Petting zoo which Chad wanted nothing to do with!

 

Having fun!

Shadow a Kindergartner day

Mom got to come with Chad to school for an hour or so and see how his day goes each morning!  He lines up in his teacher's line and they recite the Pledge of Allegiance and the Centennial motto.

 

 

Once in class they start on their "Jobs" until called up to do homework review with Ms. Sheehan.  It is so surprising to see how independent he is and how trained he is to class and responsibilities! 

 Mommy and Chad

It was so fun watching him participate in class and be a big kindergartner! Now we need to focus on not talking to others and getting his work done! We sure love this boy! 

Some school stuff!

Chad has been doing great with Kindergarten and going each day without any complaints.  I do get an occasional "its sooo long!' but he really enjoys all this new buddies and specials time.

 

Their daily schedule! They are some busy kiddos!

 

And here is his Kindergarten picture!

First Day of Kindergarten!

Our big boy started Kindergarten on August 4th!  He was so excited to get to go to the "big kid" school and play on the playground.  Mom and Dad were worried about him being sad when we dropped him off but he held it together and was a strong kiddo with no crying!  Can't say the same for Mom though!  He comes home each day excited about the day full of things to tell us.  I can believe he is getting so big!
