A Big Day.....


Hailey's first day of kindergarten....sniff, sniff. 
Hailey is going to kindergarten ALL day EVERYday and I already miss her.
I've always been a little overly sentimental about things like this so I wasn't surprised when I got a little weepy when I dropped her off. (don't mock me)
She was so excited about her outfit and new backpack. 
I can't believe it, just yesterday she looked like this.....
 

and this...



and this....



and this...

and now she is off to her first day of kindergarten. Love you baby girl.

Sniff..Sniff... is right! How did this happen so fast? Oh how we love little Hailey. What a tender post. You are a wonderful mother Melanie. We love you and your sweet family so much..Reminds me of your first day of Kindergarten too. Wasn't that long ago in my opinion. Love, Mom, Dad, Emily and Annie

I think it would be a really hard thing to watch your oldest head off to school. I will probably shed a tear or two myself when the time comes.

I haven't looked at Blogs forever. I was so excited to see all the new pictures and I can't believe our little Hailey is now officially in school. Hailey you look adorable as ever. It was fun to see your St. George pictures too. Oh I can't wait to see more of you and the kids. We love you all

First of all, you haven't changed a bit. LOL. And Hailey looks so CUTE!!! I totally understand getting weepy. There is a cute car commercial out right now that has a dad telling this little girl safe driving tips. Then she turns into a teen. I totally get that commercial. They still look like babies to me too.

You did great! I teared up leaving Konrad at Kindergarten the first day and I'm sure the tears will be flowing tomorrow as the bus pulls away with my baby girl!

I got tears in my eyes reading this. Ryker's first day of kindergarten is coming soon and I don't think I can handle it! I am the same way, sentimental. They grow too fast! I am planning on wearing sunglasses all day on the first day. She looks so cute! Expect a similar post from me in a couple weeks :(
