Kiddie Kampus Take 2

Today was Kinlee's first day of preschool. She has been asking all summer, "mom when does preschool start again?" This year the big difference is the 4 yr old class is in the afternoon. Since we are still used to taking a nap, I know I said nap, this is going to come as another adjustment in our life! She had a great day today, and couldn't wait to get there to see all of her friends!

My beautiful baby girl!

Does she have to go to the bathroom?

Posing for the camera, her new favorite thing!

She didn't want me to walk in with her, but I did! Here she is hanging up her bag.

Kinlee's 1st Soccer Game

This is the first year that Kinlee can play soccer, so we decided to give it a try. She loves it! Today they had their first game, and all she wanted to do was score a goal. She didn't accomplish that, but we have 7 more games to try and make one.:) She loves her uniform, and couldn't be more excited that her team is Taylor University! It's funny watching them play as they are ALL around the ball. Here are some pictures from our day; first of her posing and then her playing!

My World

So, today marks the end of summer at the Hackman house. August 16th EVERYTHING that we have left behind for 2 1/2 months is back. Every August I go through this sense of dread, hoping and wishing that the days of summer would stay with us forever. We are so blessed to both have jobs that allow us to be off all summer, and get to spend it with our children. But if only...
My kids and my husband are the most important things to me. This is a rough time for us all, we all jump into this together, but I know at the end of the school day I get to come home to MY WORLD. Two adorable, fun, loving, and yes at times trying kids and one amazing man that I am crazy in love with, how much better can it be. I struggle so much with this all...but I remind myself WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. So tomorrow, for the first time in awhile, as we all go our separate ways, it will be the hardest day of the year for the Hackmans.

Here are some pictures from the park...boy is it hot!

Happy Anniversary , KC

Yesterday KC and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. But we had to wait until tonight to officially go out. KC took me to Eddie Merlot's in Ft. Wayne. We had a wonderful evening out, and had some AMAZING food.
KC, I am so thankful for you. You are an amazing husband, father, and most importantly my best friend. I thank God daily for you and the life that we have made together. I fall more and more in love with you everyday. Thanks for an amazing night out, and an amazing 9 years...I love you.

Jackson County Fair 2010

During our stay down at our parents we went to the famous Jackson County Fair. It was hot, but the kids had a blast. All Kinlee wanted to do was ride the Ferris Wheel, so her and I rode it. She LOVED it. I didn't know what she thought at first, but she couldn't stop laughing. We were the only ones on the ride, so that made it nice and long. :) It's always nice to run into people that you haven't seen for awhile. All in all it was a great time.

Waiting for the Ferris Wheel to take off.

Riding away...

Kinlee and Kyler driving the fire truck.

They wanted to play a game, so we found one that no matter what they did they won a prize. Kyler loved it, since it had to do with throwing a ball.

Kinlee picked a LOUD trumpet...think we left that at someones house!!

Kyler picked a bat for his prize...surprise.
