Addison's First Day of Kindergarten

I told Addison that we always had to go to the end of our driveway and get our picture taken before we got on the bus, so we went right outside and walked to the end of the driveway, even though his bus was my car!! Ayla wanted in the action.  It was her first day off with her and dad, She was soo proud of her brother! She helped pack his lunch!

After school in mom's room! Addison said it was a great day and he learned alot!! He didn't know that a fox was a nocturnal animal!!!  

Kutscherenko Reunion

Ayla and Sydnee

Our newest family member , 4 days old!! Layson Ray Duskey!!

The kids were sooooo tired from playing all day they just couldn't stay awake!!!!

Just kidding, Addison, Brady, Sydnee and Ayla had a great time playing at Meredith,s all day and the  best think for us was ....... that it was less than a mile away, the only family member in Zanesville, had us over for a family gathering! It was a fun day, thanks Meredith!!

Meet the Teacher

Today Addison had Kindergarten testing, Adam and Ayla brought him to school and he worked with Mrs. Jones and Mrs Pessia, while we conferenced with them!! Addison did a great job and is officially ready for Monday!!

Home together at last

My grandparents are finally home together!! It has been a whole entire week, I didn't want to annouce it too soon for fear that somebody would get sick.  We went over to visit them on Saturday and they both are doing pretty good.  The could continue to use prayers.  Grandma is still pretty weak and needs additional help.  We were glad to be able to visit them together at home!! 

Junk Food Day

Well I guess we rode to Bob Evans too soon, Tammy wanted to ride to Donalds' Donuts with the kids before school starts, so we did just that we started the day off with a ride/walk to Donalds for breakfast.  Then we went to the fair and had french fries, elephant ears and funnel cakes.  What a great way to end our summer break..... We got to pet one of each kind of animal at the fair and ate lots..

Kindergarten Orientation

Wednesday Dresden Elementary had an Ice Cream Party when the posted the class lists and we had KG orientation where we could meet Addison's teacher!!  Mrs. Pessia is going to be his teacher along with Mrs. Jones.   ( We already know them, I took classes with her when we were getting our masters and we got hired the same year!!) Adam knows her as well, he was doing an animal presentation and we had to go in lock down and he was "locked" in her classroom bathroom for 45 minutes a few years back.  He also recently took them around the Wilds!! Ali from the sitter happens to be in his class.  Addison is very excited about being in school.  Here is a not so good picture of him sitting in his new desk!!  Later we will get a picture of him with his teacher.... next week when he goes for testing.  His first day is Aug 29!! 

Visiting Grandparents

Today we went to vist Grandma Becky and Grandpa Tom. The live in a house now with lots of land.  We took a hike to a waterfall and played in the water.  We were looking for turkeys but never found any.  Then we went back to the house roasted hot dogs on the fire and had s'mores and ice cream for dessert.   Addison and Ayla had grandpa Tom take them a ride on all three tractors that were there..  Didn't want any tractor to feel left out!!  We had a nice visit.
