School Finally Started


Landon has been counting down and waiting to go to school for the past eight months. It finally came and he was so excited to go. He had a really good day and really likes his teacher. We woke up at 8:00 to get him ready for school that starts at 9:00. He was pretty worried that he would be late and wanted something fast for breakfast like toast. I told him there was plenty of time to have cereal. But then he sat and bugged his sister and ended up taking 30 minutes to eat a bowl of cereal (sigh).

He got dressed fast, and pack his little snack (a cheese stick). We took pictures, and then I made sure that Kylie was all ready. She was pretty upset that she wasn't able to go to school. After explaining to her that Landon has waited five years to go, and she has a couple of more years until she is old enough. Then she was okay with it.

We walked to school which is so close we can here the bells from our house. It took about two minutes. He was to meet his teacher out by the play area. There was tons of kids just crawling all over the toys, and Landon and Kylie joined in the chaos. The bell rang and all the kids disappeared to line up for school. His teacher was there. We gave hugs and he lined up with the rest of the kids. He had the biggest smile on his face, so how could I not be excited for him. He waved and off he when to his classroom.

I got to pick him up at 11:55 and when I asked what he did at school, all I got was he had a snack (which I knew already) and that he had recess. That kid is so silly sometimes. He can talk non stop all day long it seems, and then when I want to hear all about his day at school I have to try and drag it all out of him. He must be just like his Dad, except he never talks non stop.

My Two Little Girls


So the last two weeks Landon and Kylie have been playing dress up. They have been having a wonderful time, and can spend hours playing together. The only thing is Landon turns into "Karlie" and like to wear Kylie's clothes. I had to draw the line when I was ending up washing twice as much clothes. So now they can play in Kylie's dress up clothes, but can't run around and play in her regular clothes.

Baby

In the last week I have started to feel the baby move. I can lay on my tummy still, or on my back and if I pay attention I can feel little flutters. I love the beginnings of feeling the baby. It just makes it more real. Plus it is one of my favorite things about being pregnant. I am so excited that in four more weeks I will hopefully be able to find out the gender!!!!

My beautiful kids enjoying a hot day and a popsicle. Life just doesn't get better than this.

We got a stray kitty a few weeks ago while visiting Marcus' parents. I had to do some sweet talking to get her, but Marcus finally agreed. Landon already had her named before we told him we could bring her home. She is Purry and is a cute sweet little kitten. She is very well named because she is constantly purring. She sees me and starts to purr before I pick her up. I think she is a social thing, and really like people. Sometimes she reminds me of a dog, because she seems to be looking for me, or comes out when she hears my voice. But then am reminded that she is a cat, because she doesn't do it constantly.

I finally did it!!!

Well after much brainwashing, and peer pressure from friends and family I finally decided to start a blog. I hope I end up posting things, and figure out how this all works. I am sure it will be fun. I am looking forward to reading all of your blogs than writing my own.
