School, so far so GREAT!!!

We just finished our second week of Pre-K and preschool. I am very proud to report that the boys are doing wonderful!! I posted a picture of Brayden's behavior report for last week. He loves his teacher and I have no doubt she loves him!! Bryson has gotten reports saying "perfect", "sweetheart", and "awesome". That is great for a two year old!! Especially when I have talked to some of the other moms whose kiddos got reports saying "working on.....". I love seeing their little projects and hearing all the things they learned about God's love!! I truely enjoy witnessing these growing minds and growing boys! We are blessed beyond measure with these precious babies. What a great way to start the school year! Keep it up boys!!! I'm one proud Momma!

New Beginnings.....Pre-K and Preschool

Thursday night we had clothes laid out, back packs loaded, and everything ready to go for the morning.........except for my heart. Friday was the boys first day of school. Brayden started Pre-K and Bryson started preschool for the first time. Even though they both only go part time (M/W/F), it is still a big deal to let them go after having the whole summer with them at home. Brayden woke up excited to go see his friends and meet his new teacher. Bryson was a sleepy head (just like his mommy) and I basically got him dressed while he was still asleep, lol. When we got to the school they were so excited to put on their new backpacks and get their day started. I, on the other hand, was trying to hide my broken heart. We took Bryson to his class first. He was great until he saw the other two year olds crying for their mommys, and of course my baby won't be left out of anything. The pacifier came to the rescue, lol. I was able to leave once I saw him happy and playing. Brayden gave him a hug and said "love you bubba", it melted me. Brayden loved his class and his new teacher, Miss Nicole. We really like this preschool. Don't get me wrong, I miss Brayden's old school terribly, but I feel we have chosen the right school here. Once I told Brayden bye, I walked to my car as fast as I could. I barely got the door open before the tears were falling. I had both the boys in their classes by 8:10 and I was still in my car sobbing in the parking lot at 8:55. It was the hardest thing for me to leave. I actually called the office and had them check on Bryson before I left. They said he was "perfect". I decided to spend my first "kiddo free" day having a great session of retail therapy. I was able to get Brayden's birthday gifts, party favors, and all invites completed and mailed. I was so happy to go pick them up. They both had a wonderful day. Once I was able to leave the parking lot that morning, I realized I had a wonderful day too. It's so hard to watch our babies grow up.

Pink Eye has struck AGAIN

I am sadly reporting that Brayden has developed pink eye today. I was diagnosed with it last monday. Since I have been on medicine since then, I thought we were in the clear. Apparently not. My goodness, how this lingers. My friend Casey warned me this might happen, but I was so hoping it wouldn't. This momma hates when her babies are sick!

Worth Every Calorie!!!

This little cupcake is so good that I am convinced they serve it in Heaven!! For the Fourth of July I bought some cupcakes from Wal-Mart. They were white cake, chocolate butter cream frosting, and red, white and blue star sprinkles. Since they were from Wal-Mart and not an actual private owned bakery I was convinced they would taste store bought. I tried one and OH MY GOODNESS!! There was no way I could eat just one. I was so sad when they were gone that I went back to Wal-Mart to see if they had more, but they did not. That was a good thing though because I could order them custom made. The only thing different from the one's I ordered and the one's I bought for the 4th was the sand sugar sprinkle. I LOVED the texture the sprinkles gave it and they are definitely my new fave. The only thing that could have made it better was if the sprinkles were pink. After all, color really does matter ; ).

Cutest Cowboys Ever!

This is common scenery in our house.............and it NEVER gets old!!!

Muddy Mess and Jimmy Junior!!

Because of this CRAZY summer heat, we wait until late afternoon to play outside unless water is involved. My boys LOVE to play with water guns, which mixed wonderfully with the dirt pile they were playing in as you can see. Bath time was super fun tonight ; ). The most precious thing of all though was Brayden. We decided to have costume time after baths. We told them to dress up as their favorite Super Hero. Brayden's super hero he chose was his Daddy, so he dressed up in his "business clothes".......makes my heart so happy!!

Hubby's Grounded Indefinitely

While I was on my way to my mini-vacation this weekend with Amanda, I called my hubby to find out what him and the boys were up to. I knew he had told me he may take "Brayden" to get a hair cut. So the call goes like this......Me ,"Hey honey, what are you and boys up to". Him, "We just got back home from getting the boys hair cut". I said "You mean Brayden's hair cut". He said "Well, I though Bryson needed one too, so I got his cut also". Me "Well how short did you get it? He's only had one hair cut Jimmy!! I love his baby soft hair!". Him "Well, they used a shorter GUARD than I thought". Me, "A GUARD, YOU USED A GUARD ON MY BABY......SEND ME A PICTURE RIGHT NOW". I hang up and am sobbing. So I get the picture and cry harder. Yes, he is adorable, even in this WAY TOO SHORT hair cut. That isn't the point. The point is, I loved running my fingers through his baby soft hair and I can only hope and pray it grows back as soft and BABYISH. I call my hubby back only to let him know that even though it may be adorable on him, he is grounded indefinitely and may never under any circumstances take my snook for a haircut.
