First Grader

Kena starts 1st grade tomorrow...

Where in the world has the time gone.

Today Kena and I went to the school to meet her teachers.

It was so fun to see her interact with the other kids and both teachers.

Since I am leaving for girls camp today and won't be here tomorrow...

I decided to do the backpack pics today.

I can't believe this time has already come.

It seems like yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital.

We are so proud of our girl!

We love you, Kena

Baby Yoga

This is Tyler's new thing...

He did this for the first time last night-

this was the best picture we could get.

He has started "army crawling" and he sticks

his bum in the air... It is so cute!!

Field Day

Kena's last day of kindergarten is tomorrow.

I can't believe how fast this year has gone.

Today was field day! I am so glad that I was able to go.

Thanks Lindsay for watching my kids.

The PTA had everything very organized with a rotation

between all of the stations every 15 minutes.

Our first stop was to get snow cones. Kena chose Cherry.

Then we went to the "get wet" station where the kids played the game where you pass the sponge over your head and try to get the most water in your bucket at the end.

(I have no idea what the boy next to Kena is doing... I think he is dancing)

She got nice and wet :)

Then it was off to the tug-a-war... Girls against boys.

The girls TOTALLY WON!!

Some of them got in a circle and did a little cheer after... it was so cute :)

Another match- girls against girls...

Kena's teem won again :)

Kena and her friends Lily and Secily

The next game was tootsies grab.

They took off their shoes so they could use their "tootsies"

To grab the fish

Then they played "splish, splish, SPLASH"

Kena got her face painted

It is supposed to be a heart...

I think it just looks like a red blob on her cheek.

Then they got to go to the bounce house...

I only got a picture of Kena's foot going through.

The last station was Tag.

First tag you had to put one hand behind your back

Second tag you put the other hand back

Third tag you had to hop around on one foot

and the Fourth tag you were out

Kena with both hands behind her back

Kena and Sicily

I am so glad that I was able to go today.

It was so much fun to spend time with just me and Kena.

Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's

The kids had so much fun today...

They love the water and they love Grandma and Grandpa's house

Put them both together and you have a super great day

After all the swimming fun and yummy food

we all sat on the sidewalk and watched fireworks.

What a great day.

Cars 2

Tonight we took Jack to the movie theater for the first time.

He has been so excited to see the new Cars 2 movie.

We got him a Lightning McQueen Shirt to wear

But what he was most excited about was...

The "Queen" hat

He is ready to go!

Outside the theater

Doesn't he look cute?

The girls are excited too

Here we are in our seats just waiting.

Such a fun movie.

At the beginning there was fire in the background and he kept yelling

"Mommy look at the fire"

He was dancing to the music.

When there was an explosion he yelled "WOW!"

I love seeing things through my children's eyes...

everything is so magical.

Tyler at 7 months

He started rolling over this last week and um... growling :) It is so cute.

Ty's Allergic Reaction

When I went to get Ty this morning this is what I found...

I took him to the doctor because it looked like he was having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin he was taking for his ear infection. His Dr. said he had never seen an allergic reaction look like this before. The rash is only on his face. It is not anywhere else on his body. He did take him off of the amoxicillin just in case that was what it was and perscribed something else for his ear infection.
