GRAYSON - ONE FINAL HUG

Grayson giving her big sister one last hug before school starts!

MACY - KINDERGARTEN

Macy is attending Kindergarten in the morning and then she is homeschooled in the afternoon. She is making new friends and seems to love her class. She loves playing at recess with her friends and center time (kitchen and blocks). Right now she loves to do headstands and cartwheels. We warned her teacher to be careful, she might think the circle rug is her stage!!!

JAKE - 2ND GRADE

Jake came home from school the first day and announced, "that was the shortest day ever!" They had a full day of school, but according to him it was the best day! He absolutely loves his teacher and lets us know everyday.

COLE - 5TH GRADE

This is the last year for Cole in elementary school. Next year we will face middle school. As you can see he is still growing and growing and growing. So far he loves school and is even getting all his work completed! YEAH!!!! You can tell he was REALLY happy with Mom taking his picture in his classroom. I promised him this was the last time I'd embarrass him. I won't be following him into middle school next year taking his picture....

Surviving the First Week of School....

was a breeze! Cole, Jake and Macy love their teachers and so do Mom & Dad!!! We are very excited about this school year. Here are the kids pic's from the first day!

Getting Ready for School...

We made the BIG trip to Target today to get school supplies. As you can see, we came home with a pretty big stash of things. Did I mention this was only for Cole and Jake? UGH! And we didn't even get everything on the list we needed! One more trip to Wal-Mart and I think we will be done. No, let me rephrase that, I pray we will be done!!! The excitement is building...school starts next week!

Life with the Sprecher kids

Welcome to our crazy world! We hope to share our life experiences with you, our friends and family, through a few words and a lot of pictures. So sit back, relax and enjoy Growing up Sprecher!

Let us introduce our kids:

Cole is 10 years old and will be in the 5th grade this year! This is his last year of elementary school! WOW!!! Time sure does fly. Wasn't it just a few months ago that he came into this world and we were commenting on how big his feet were? Cole loves baseball! He played spring ball and fall ball will be starting soon. He also loves to draw, so be on the lookout for some of his art work.

Jake is 7 years old and will be in the 2nd grade this year. He is growing up so fast and is changing on a daily basis. He also loves to play baseball, especially in the backyard with his big brother. He is a great ball player! He also loves to build! Just give him LEGO's or KNEX and he's set! Jake has a gentle character and a gigantic heart!

Macy is 6 years old and will be in Kindergarten this year. She will be attending school half-day and the other part of the day she will be home schooled. Macy LOVES to climb and play! She is so strong! She would play on the monkey bars all day if you would let her. She is sweet, kind, and all together a great girl! She brings much joy to our lives!

Grayson is 4 years old and will attend preschool this fall. She continues to keep us on our toes. She loves to play house with her sister and play with her friends. She is our risk taker and no risk is too small or too great for her to take. She has a talent for coming out of most of her "adventures" with minor to no injuries. She loves to give hugs and kisses...to mom and dad!

Stay tuned....more to come!
