Zachary & Tyler's 7th birthday party - Civil War

Zachary and Tyler turn 7 on the 19th.  Yes, 7!  I can hardly believe it.  We decided to have a Civil War birthday party, seeing as Zachary is a Beaver fan and Tyler is a Duck fan.  We took the kids swimming at the nearby aquatic center and then did a tailgate dinner (nachos) and a pinata, a few games, popcorn, cake....we had a blast!  These pictures are not in order but you'll get the idea.   

First day of First grade.............

Today was Zachary and Tyler's first day of the First Grade!  Wow, I know everyone always says time flies, but it really does.  I know that most parents were excited for school to start, but honestly for the most part I was not.  As much as my kids do drive me crazy sometimes, I really enjoy being with them and really am not that excited about them being gone all day.  Nonetheless, they started school anyway....these pictures pretty much sum up their morning today.  I love these handsome boys!!!
