Welcome Summer

Summer is here. It might not be official but we live in Texas. It is hot and beautiful.

I picked this bloom out of my side yard. I want to plant one of these bushes in the front yard in front of baby boys window.

Baby girl has decided it is fun to learn cursive. She seems to have much of it down already. She has gotten the skill to connect the letters together. Now she asked me the proper way to write all the letters so she can practice.

Baby boy found a packet of sight words from baby girls kindergarten year. He as requested to practice those daily. He is doing very well.

Kindergarden ramp up

Our wonderful school put together packets for the incoming kindergartners. There is enough work for them to work on the whole summer.

Our weekend

We had a busy weekend. I only took the one photo. I figured you all had enough to last a lifetime. Sorry to those that saw this on facebook.

Friday :
---The bunk got delivered. Baby boy was super happy. (Yes I know that this picture shows his name)
---We had them signed up to go to open gym so that we could double date with some friends. Friend's youngest ran super high fever and had to cancel.
---Took them to the movie. It was sold out.
---Went to dinner
---Kids had a sleep over in baby boy's top bunk. They got to bring the portable dvd player in his room and watch movies. They had a blast! Finally no disappointment.

Saturday:
---Hung out at the house. The kids wanted to play on the bunks most of the morning. They were a bit grumpy from lack of sleep from the sleepover.
---Went to a bbq place with old friend from our singles group. The kids made fast friends with their kids. We had our own room so they went crazy running and having a blast.

Sunday:
---The fun part of the day was going to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian". We went to a movie where you get eat dinner with a full menu and watch the movie. It was really funny and the kids loved it!

Monday:
---Baby girl woke up with a tooth hanging out in her cheek.
---We headed to Six Flags. We hung out a long bit of the day.
---We came home and cuddled.
---My feet were hurting so I went to go get a pedicure. I went to the place that massages for 30 min. :)
---Kids got called to a friends house to go swimming. Both kids got to go :)
---Daddy finally got his Chinese food.
---Tooth fairy visited.

We had a wonderful weekend. How was yours?

Graduation day

Our prince charming has officially graduated from preschool.

Baby boy,
Your daddy and mommy are very proud of your growth and accomplishments. As you embark on your primary school years we want you to know that we love you. You are a wonderful little boy. You're bright and kind and always a beam of light.
We love you,
Daddy and Mommy





I took the videos so my friend took the picture of him walking down the aisle. That I will have to post when I get my copy.


I have a slide show but I don't know how to load it. I will later.

The Dentist

Today was the children's semiannual dental cleaning.

Baby boy has inherited my teeth. He had 3 cavities. He brushes and flosses 2 times a day.

He will get the first two filled next Wednesday.

Baby girl has no problems with her enamel. She has teeth crowding. The dentist told me that he wants to wait until next visit to seal her back teeth. Then we also will have our chat about braces.

He said that he thinks she will need two round of braces. It would be a little more expensive that way but be much easier on her and get better results.

He said that the first round might be a short period wearing braces and a couple baby teeth pulled. Then give her a retainer to wear until she is about 12. She then would wear the braces for another short period.

So fun and games for the kids and our wallet coming up soon.

Field day

Baby girl had a great day at field day. Daddy took many pictures. :) The PTA provided the shirts.

Sorry I haven't posted

I haven't posted in a while because I have either been sick then busy. Then sick again and busy again.

Here is a funny child quote to hold you all over. ;)



Baby boy: Mommy can't play with Jolie anymore.

Me: Why?

Baby Boy: Because she used a potty word.

Me: What Did she say?

Baby Boy: Dirty diaper.
