First Day of School

MaKaya changed her first day of school outfit 13 times.

Had to have a picture of baby.

Oh my gosh they look grown up

So Pretty

Boo loves her sparkly pants

Oh how I dread this day. All summer long it haunts me. I really love having my kids home. I love taking them places, we really have a lot of fun together. Yes there are days that they drive me crazy but for the most part we have a lot of fun. The Friday before school started I had my emotional break down. I was stopped on the freeway for over an over. I just started crying and couldn't get a hold of myself. I was kind of a Debbie Downer all day long. I couldn't figure out what my problem was. Then it hit me.... I was deeply broken hearted that my kids would be returning to school. Our fun carefree sleep in days were over. I was not ready for a schedule and real life to begin. I want my kids around me.

I don't know what to do with myself while they are gone. Crew takes a long nap in the afternoon. I haven't figured out what to do with my time. I read Mockingjay yesterday. It takes me a while to get in my new groove. Change always takes some adjustment.

Lexi is in 4th grade. She is so grown-up. Everyone thinks she is in 6th grade. She is as tall or taller than them. She is going to be able to wear my shoes within the year. She is still such a sweet girl. She is so nice to everyone. She melts my heart.

MaKaya is in 2nd grade. She can now see over the counter in the school office. She has finally grown out of her size 6 pants. She is so excited to get dressed everyday. What outfit should she choose? She has a very tender heart. She radiates happiness. She brings me Joy!!!

Savanna gets to go to Miss Julie. She is our most favorite pre-school teacher. She really is the bomb.com! They have all agreed that she is the very best! Boo is really tall for her age. The size 6 that MaKaya just grew out of Boo can wear. She has more energy than any girl I know, one of her best friends is a boy. She loves loves loves to play with Crew and can be super sweet... when she wants to. She is super animated when she talks. I love watching her tell a story. She makes me laugh, a lot.

Can you see why its hard for me to let my girlies go. They are such a huge part of who I am. I guess that is why I keep having more. I just love it way too much!

When I dropped them off at school Sadie our dog started crying. So was I.

Big Boy

This little guy has stolen the hearts of many girls all ready. He is the sweetest happiest smiliest easy going little dude ever born. I can not get enough of him.

His 10 month appointment told us this

Length- 31 inches off the chart for his age.

He is the average length of an 18 month old

Weight- 24 lbs 70th percentile

Head- Really big not on the charts

He still loves to nurse and wants nothing to do with a bottle, sippy, binki. The only other thing he will suck on is a straw. Breaking him from nursing is going to be fun. He is really close to crawling, but with all his sisters, (and his mom) he is held a lot. What can we say we LOVE him! He is starting to mimic face expressions. We think he is so funny.

Having a baby around makes me so content. I wonder if I will ever loose the desire to have more babies. They are just so special. They scream yumminess!

I have loved and cherished every single moment with him. I know we all say this, but I wish I could freeze time right now.
