Back to School

 The Pepin Boys are back in school and ready to conquer another year of school. 

It is a BIG one for Brooks this year as he started Kindergarten yesterday.

 He is officially a Big Kindergartner at the Bryant Broncos Elementary! 

Brody is back for another year of Pre-School 2's at Keystone Christian Preschool.

 Both of the boys were fired up and ready to go!

 I am so proud of these precious boys as they are so brave and excited about the adventure. 

We have great teachers at great schools and even some of our best friends in our classes!

It should be a fantastic year for learning, growing, and developing into terrific young boys!

Here are a few snapshots of the 1st Day of School!

Charming as always!

Batman Back-Pack and Lunch Box

was the Winner for the Big Year for Brooks!

Big Boy School Campus!

Brody was just so fired up about the

Dinosaur Collection at School!

He is such a character!

We are so blessed to have such great Boys.

I know they are going to add a lot of value to 

their Classes this year! We are excited to see

all the new developments as we grow in our

School Year 2011- 2012!

Goodnight Summer!

 It has been a very special Summer, but time to say goodnight!

We all have mixed feelings as we say our goodbyes, 

but know that the next Season will

bring us so much Joy! 

The Summer is not officially over for a few more weeks!

We are so fortunate that we live in Florida 

and we don't have to say goodbye to the 

warmth of the Sun or the Pools and the Beach!

Goodnight Summer!

Goodnight Brooks!

Goodnight Mom!

Goodnight Brody!

Goodnight Sun!

Goodnight Dad!

Goodnight Colby!

Goodnight Summer! 

Until we meet again!

Summer Garland

 We have had such a great last week of the Summer! 

We did a lot of great fun things with friends and family!

 We are excited to move into the Fall, but just not quite ready!

 We did the Zoo, Clearwater Beach with Friends, and a fun Pool Party today.

 The boys are tan and having fun. 

Next week we start a new adventure!

I wanted to share our Summer Project

as we begin to say goodbye to Summer!

This is our "Summer Garland" it is a 

combination of Brooks and Brody's

Fun Summer Animal Projects put together

to create a Fun Summer Garland.

We have used it all Summer and it was super easy to create.

It has been such a fun way to display the boy's Projects.  

I used Jute Rope and Created the letters to make 

Circle Pennants and it spells SUMMER!

We will be sad to pick it up....but look forward to using again next year!

Happy Summer Projects!

Summer Vacation 2011

 It was another exciting trip to Marco Island with the family! 

We had a fantastic week! You know it is good....when everyone has a great time!

 We had family and friends join us for some fun in the sun too!

 Marco Island in the last few years has become our home away from home

....and we truly enjoy the simple Island Life! 

Here are a few highlights from our relaxing trip! 

Enjoy!

We enjoyed nights out at some of the

Island's Hot Spots!

The Beach and the Ocean was so great!

We spent a lot of time playing and relaxing on the Beach!

We took Brooks for a fun Jet Ski Ride!

Good Times!

Mike and Brooks flew a Kite in the afternoon.

Brooks loved it!

Everyday the Island had such a great Breeze.

It was Delightful!

Brody had a blast with all the fun Pool Games!

We couldn't get Brody out of the Pool.

It was so much fun!

We feel so blessed to have had such a great Vacation

and time with our Family! The boys are growing up so fast!

It truly is a lot of fun to travel with the boys for a 

Great Summer Vacation!
