First Day Of School!

Monday night there was an open house and a meeting for the Pre-K parents and kids, Mom and Dad watched the two little ones and Kylie came with us to the meeting. We checked out her class, talked to her teacher, and checked out the school. Mom and Dad met us up there with the other two and checked out her class too, then Deric's parents met us up there. Kylie is SO excited about school... I think she might burst!


Kylie and Daddy sitting at her table

Kylie sits at the Brown table... she found her seat all by herself. (There is another Kylie W in the class too, and she sits across the table from my Kylie!)

This is her Teacher

Being silly already! She saw some of the bigger kids playing in her locker and had to try it out too!!

...she even shut the door!

This was her finding her locker

Kylie and Logan (we don't know him) share a locker (she is 2 days and he is 3 so it works out)



Today is the Day!!

She was a little tired and chilly so she snuggled me on the couch for a bit.


Modeling her backpack (and lunch bag)

She's ready to go.... Are we leaving yet?

Talking to Daddy on the phone while on the way to school

This is last picture of my non-school going child... out in the parking lot! I left my camera out there so I could be there with her if she needed me. I wish I would have brought it in and got a picture of her standing in her line, oh well. We did really well with everything this morning, she slipped in a puddle of water on the tile in the foyer and fell on her butt and I wasn't sure what she was going to do, but she just brushed herself off and moved right along. She took her shoes off carried them to her locker and found her inside shoes and got back in line. At this point I moved over to the wall so I wasn't right next to her anymore, she looked a little concerned standing there in the line and a little unsure, but so did most of the kids. The Teacher told them to wave to their parents and they were going to walk to their room, I had told Kylie that I would walk her to her door but I wasn't going to come in and she wanted to make sure I was still going to do that and I said I would. So she walked in her line and I walked next to it till we got to her classroom door. I stood out there watching her till she found her desk and gave her a thumbs up for finding it and she gave me a big grin. I watched her for a little bit more and waited for her to look at me again so I could wave and say goodbye so she would know I was leaving, and that was that. When I picked her up from school we swung into DQ and split a chocolate malt as a first day of school treat and we talked about her day. It was all positive feedback from here and she couldn't wait to go back again. One of the best things she said was about their nap time... she told me that she got to sleep between two boys and she liked it! She clarified that she didn't sleep in the boys bed (they sleep on cots) but just next to them! Then she told me that she likes to sit with boys when she is sad because they make her happy!! He-heee!! How cute! She was beaming! I think that pretty much wraps it up, all in all it was a great day and she is excited to go back, yea!

House Update

Alrighty, I am SO behind on giving house updates... so lets play catch-up...
The insulation is done, Yippie! I hate insulation, what an itchy mess!
Deric and his dad got started on the front porch... They tore the awnings off and built the bottom part of the porch.

And they built the roof too... They ran out of time and didn't get to sheet the roof.

This was after last weekend. It was raining and raining and it was raining in the kitchen (and the family room) a little where they had to tear away some of the old roof to build the porch roof. It was supposed to keep raining so after work Deric went out in the rain to get the porch sheeted so it would be water tight. I went out and took pictures and ended up helping out a bit. You can't tell from the pictures, but it's wet and he is soaked.


This weekend we worked on building the garage... we were supposed to have help but Billy was still bailing himself out from their flood (which we understand!) and we never heard back from Timmy, and Deric's dad had to work. Deric built the walls and I would go out and help him stand them up and helped out with bracing/leveling them. There aren't many progress pictures because I was busy cleaning out the basement from the flood.




I guess I should have taken an updated picture... oh well, Deric got a little more work done that what is pictured here... I post one later. I think that is basically it, we pulled the thermostat and phone wires so now we are just waiting to hear from the Drywall guys!! Yippie!!

Another Hair Cut

Yep, Brody got yet another haircut! Actually I did it this time, he is looking pretty studly! I couldn't get him to smile at me for a picture but he did want to wave. He LOVES waving! Usually he crawls into the girls room while I am putting them down (nap or bed) and I scoop him up on my way out and he waves at them and sometimes he gives kisses too he doesn't always blow the kisses, but he sends them smooches.



(I don't know why this space is here... I can't get it to go away, oh well!)
This is what my couch looked like when we came back in from cutting Brody's hair (I cut it outside and daddy held him)... Reygann was playing in my glass of water and proceeded to make a mess! What a stinker that one!!

Peek-A-Boo, I found you

Everyone is hanging out in the bathroom... makes it hard to get ready in the morning! I am always stepping on someone, spraying on someone, or bumping into them. Brody is always grabbing at the cords trying to pull them curling iron off the sink, I don't know why they all need to be in there... I wish I could get just a little more space!

HELP!

Calling all crafty people (or people that can follow directions!) I need help. Awana's is starting in two weeks and they are having a kick off party themed as a drive in movie, and we are encouraged to make a car to bring to the drive in... but I really have no abilities! I do have a refrigerator box that is waiting to magically turn into a car... but no idea how to make it happen. So everyone I'm begging, PLEASE come help me make a car!!

Stylin

Do you like my hair do? Mommy has been messing around with it I think I look pretty cute (as always!)



I once again grabbed my snacks out of the diaper bag and spilled them all over the floor! I didn't mind because I was kinda hungry and I quite enjoyed the selection of goodies!



All Gone!

Kuce!

I forgot to post these last week... Uncle Kuce was up this way and stopped by to say hi. This was his first time meeting Brody (the last time we saw him I was still pregnant) Broders wasn't too sure at first (plus he wasn't feeling himself, I think he's teething again), it only took him a second to warm up and he decided that Kuce must be ok.

Sleepy Lines

Kylie woke up from her nap and had 'sleepy lines' on her arms, she thinks they are silly and was being funny about it. In the second picture she is stretching and being silly, and the last one she was trying to be grumpy and not laugh.


Bed Changing Party Update

The bed changing is still going well. It is so much easier now that Reygann is on the bottom bunk! She did fall out one time, I jumped out of my bed and scooped her up and after just a second she told me to put her back in bed she was done! As you can tell from the picture she is picking at her bed and peeling it off! The little stinker! But unlike Kylie all of her stickers are still in place! I would have guessed that Reygann would have taken hers off and Kylies would still be there, not the other way around!

Another New Hat

Good morning Reygann, I like your hat!

Swimming at Joan's

We went over to Joan and Billy's on Friday so Deric could help them with their kitchen stuff. The kids and I met him there and they went swimming in the pool. Brody was too little to go in the pool but didn't want to be left out so we found him his own 'pool'.

Brody got his own pool

Haven just loves Brody




he's swimming

Haven had to go


checking out the big kids


they played so well together!
