First day of school!!!

The first day of school the kids were so excited. Katelynn with her pink backpack and her black and pink shoes oh and can't forget her pink and black socks. Yes she has to be an individual.. Oh I love it. I think she looks great with her flip hair doo!!!

I was also able to get a picture of her with her 1st grade teacher Mrs. Carrillo who is now on maternity leave for 6weeks. She was there to help the sub, and get to know the students.

Austin was so cute ready for the day with his Thomas backpack, but did not quite get it when I dropped him off he did not like that at first. He is loving it now only a few days before he was saying bye at the door.LOL

He was so excited to ride the school bus home it was so cute to see him get off of the bus took two of them to help him with his backpack. Everyday he tells me how he loves to ride the bus he is growing up so fast.

Oh how I love my children, and the chance I have to watch them grow they truely are a blessing..

Katelynn is 6!!!

Katelynn is 6 and loving it. We were able to throw her a party in which friends from church came to celebrate. Her Grandparents from both sides came down to join in on the fun. I decided to do cupcakes this year and make it easy on myself. Although Sabra ended up doing the decorating. We just had so much to do plus she just has the talent for

decorating. Thanks Grandma!! The kids had fun doing the three legged race the boys of course won, but the girls gave them some good competition.

As you can see Katelynn was having so much fun with her friends, and the fact that it was her birthday was icing on the cake.


I am so grateful for the Grandparents and the chance that they have to come down to visit each child on their birthday. I know that when our children get older they will be able to look back and appreciate that special attention each of them shared with their grandparents. Happy Birthday Katelynn!!!

Spiderman?

Katelynn is a real life Spiderman just look at how she can climb the walls.

Finally we get to see some teeth!

I have been trying to get Savannah smiling for weeks now. She got her two bottom teeth the week of the 4th of July.. Then about a week later we were seeing the top two which I could see them under the gums coming. She would smile so much, but everytime I snapped the camera she was not. Today I finally got her cheesy grin.. Isn't she just so cute with teeth..

I can do it!

Just when we thought it was safe! Here is Savannah being our little escape artist.

Katelynn's new doo!!!

Katelynn and I have been struggling for years on

putting things in her hair. So finally, I gave in

and decided it was time for a hairstyle she could wear that I would be happy with. We went in and she picked out the doo she liked. I had to laugh because after the lady cut her hair Katelynn proceeded to tell us it was not short enough! AAAAH! Luckily we had a very nice lady and she agreed to cut it shorter. Katelynn now has a flip hair doo that I enjoy seeing her in and she loves the fact that there are no things in her hair. Way to go Katelynn! We love it!

Our First Swim lessons!

This year we decided our children needed to learn how to swim, especially after Austin's episode in May. We were in Tucson for my sisters wedding and had the chance to relax and play in the pool. Austin not knowing that the step ended went under without a splash. Thankfully my mother was there to jump right in for him. I was so taken back at how much he did not struggle and the reality set in at how fast it could happen. So there was no discussion swim lessons for sure. As you can see Austin was really nervous about getting in where his feet did not touch, but after 2weeks he was jumping right in. Katelynn did awesome and the teacher taught her some advanced things knowing I wanted them
both in the same class. I enjoyed watching them
and their progress over the 4week period
Good Job you guys!
