First Day of School

I know that this blog is a little bit late, but I had to post some super cute pictures of my boys on the first day of school. Although it can be a little bit overwhelming, I think both the boys are loving school. We see Spencer about an hour a day. Luke is missing Ezra a ton, all day long he says Ez? Ez? Ez? And everyday he asks if he can stay at Ezzie's school and play. Ezra love Ms. Gabrielle and is making lots of new friends. In fact, the other day he looks at me and says mom my teacher says that we praise Heavenly Father. And I said oh really and what does that mean and he sang a little song that goes like this, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him in the noon time. Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him, till the sun goes down. He said it's how she prays. They sing it everyday before snack time. Welcome to the Bible Belt!
Ezra and his listening ears.

After school, Luke couldn't wait to see Ez!


Luke blowing kisses as Ezra leaves.


Ezra loves to climb on the top of the car while I buckle Luke in his seat.


Ezra giving Luke a big hug before he goes.

The Boys on their first day of school!!

My family will appreciate the shot of Ezra looking over his shoulder. Every year on the first day of school my mom would make us take a shot like this and Spencer thinks it is hilarious. I am actually still not really sure why she had us do that!!!!!


Ezra really really wanted to make Dad a cake to celebrate his first day of school, but really he saw me get into a cupboad with a bunch of sprinkles and cake decorating stuff and he wanted to play with the sprinkles. Isn't our cake lovely?

oh, I love the listening ears. Cute luke giving kisses. It's so sweet. I wonder if Kai will feel that way. It's kinda sad and happy to see them excited to start school huh?

I love, love, love the listening ears! Too cute! About the school pictures. . . .I have no idea why I made you do that! Maybe so it would look like you were walking to school??? Anyway, you were always as cute as Ez--whatever the pose! Isn't it great to live in a place that isn't afraid to speak up about their beliefs! Lucky Ez to be reminded at school and at home about who we praise!

I love the listening ears- those are so cute! I wish Addie was going to school!

I didn't think people were religious outside of Utah. Then I moved to Texas. EVERYBODY loves the Lord Almighty here! Your little guys are so precious - I feel bad for Luke losing his BFF!

They both are super cute, I love the listening ears and Lukers blowing kisses....I am so sure the Luke woiuld be lost without his big bro to wrestle around with! That is funny about his teacher and the "prayer song", I love it! Well give those two darling little guys a big fat kiss from their aunt Shells!!!! Call me sometime to chat!

Hey Katie! It's Brooke Taylor (Wallace). I thought I'd leave you a comment since I frequent your darling blog.I can't believe how big your boys are getting! Congrats on Spencer's law school acceptance (a little belated). Keep in touch. Check out my blog- www.4burghers.blogspot.com

Katie,
Your boys are so cute! I can't believe how much time flys after we all have kids. How are you liking SC? The adventure will all be worth it when he's done. John is finishing up his last year of Dental school. It has been the four hardest, craziest, funniest, years of our lives. Now we get to think about what to do next. Thanks for commenting on our blog. It's fun to see what your little family is up to. Remember the Foates? Dave is flying out to stay with us on Thursday for a interview with a Judge. He will be done with Law School this next spring.

I love all the pictures! I totally forgot about the look over your shoulder pic. I'm going to start doing that too. It really is goofy. I love the one of Spence and Ez and of Luke crying as Ez leaves, and the Praise song...very catchy.

Heather said...

HEy it still looks yummy! and, what cute little ears! also, i LOVE how darling he looks his FIRST day of school!
how crazy poor spencer... school sucks!

anyways, so, I totally know, kynda walks around the house really NOT knowing what to think of her life when kayla is gone..

LOVE the song too! my sister in law said they looked at a school and they were like, "praise jesus" and raised their arms in the air... etc.. sooo different! but, its all good! (at least they are allowed to know that God exists. (that is why kayla is in private catholic school!)

GOOD LUCK! love it! love the posing too!
