As Promised!






Well, as promised here are some pictures of Brianna's first day of preschool. She is so big and she has been so excited every day to go. She has been going a little over two weeks now. She takes the bus to and from, I think that was much harder for me than it was her. Her teacher is Mrs. H (short for Hughet.) I already went to her open house at school. They told us all about the class and had us make little paper dolls that looked like our children...LOL She also got to order books from a book order, just like a big kid and we have our first field trip coming up this next week. She is taking a lot more interest in letters and writing her name even in this short time. She talks about her new friends like Lily and Jaxon and all the things they do at school. She has already decided which child in her class is "a little but naughty", LOL! Grandma Deana came over and stayed with the other kids her first few days so I could take her and get her acclimated, the Bus followed that next Monday. I think she is going to do great, I have never seen a kid so excited about school!!!

A new season, blogging and school!

Well, we are creeping up on a new season. My favorite season, FALL!!! I cannot wait for lower temps. changing leaves, the smell of fireplaces and all the holidays that are coming!

Brianna is so excited to be starting school tomorrow. She actually just goes in to meet her teacher and see her classroom. She has been anticipating this day for over a year! Ever since Cooper and Abby went off to preschool Brianna has just been dying to go. We bought a whole lot of new school clothes and some new shoes. We even got a pretty new big girl back pack. We have all of our paper work in order and we are all registered, so she is good to go! Mommy might cry. I will take lots of pictures and post them tomorrow!!!

Wish us luck!!!

Summer Fun






"Fun at the Spray Park"



Well, with the cooler days we had for the first part of June, it has taken a bit longer for the fun of summer to kick in. But it is here. BBQ's, water play, vacation days. Schools out and the kids are ready to party. I have had 2 sunburns in a matter of 4 days. Hopefully they will fade to a golden brown...LOL...
"First tries at the slip and slide"


I turned 38 on June 11th. I cannot believe I am almost 40 years old. I never thought I would be 40. I remember when people my age seemed old...LOL Oh well, it happens to the best of us I guess. No avoiding it!

We seem to have lost our cat Zeke. He got out about a week and a half ago and has yet to come home. We have posted flyers all over, so hopefully he will be returned. We really miss him.

The girls started peewee soccer last Saturday. They both did very well and seemed to enjoy it. Brianna needs to pay less attention to her surroundings when she plays but other than that they both did really well.

Okay, so I promise to do better. I have been really bad about updating my blog and keeping up with photo's and posts. I vow to do better and stay on top of it! Here is just a quick bunch of pictures of my little sweetie over the last couple of months!. She starts soccer next week for the first time, and I am sure with summer fun, we will have plenty of fun pics and updates!
