Preschool Program

This is how excited Mya is to be finishing her 1st year of preschool. What an amazing preschool she has been to, we have LOVED the teachers, the program, and everything that they have done for us. Mya has LOVED being in school and honestly I think this summer she will miss it......Maybe:) (Hopefully we are busy doing fun things that she won't even think about it.)


Here she is getting ready to sing her little heart out.

Mya with Ms. Miriam and Ms. Jenny, these 2 were AWESOME teachers.

FINALLY

What do these 3 pictures have in common??





FINALLY our Dally Goo lost one of his front teeth, for some reason this kid of ours has only lost 2 teeth and has been wanting to lose the front ones for a very long time now. Here he is and it FINALLY happened, woo hoo!!

Am I REALLY old enough?

Sometimes I look at these cute older boys of mine and think "REALLY when did you get so grown up, AND how in the world did I become so old?" As I was looking at these pictures when I loaded them on my computer I just kept thinking "oh my gosh they look so grown up." I think I'm having one of those I feel so old moments, blah! But I'll tell you what, these boys are so very precious to me and I'm so very thankful to be their momma. Sure love these older boys of mine and I still don't think I'm old enough to be their mom! Hee Hee (I swear I'm still only 20 years old in my mind.)

BIEBER FEVER

So this little princess of ours has completely become OBSESSED with Justin Bieber. Who knew that a 4 year old could already have a crush.....I mean it seems a bit early right? Every single day she wants me to find the video of "Baby Baby" and she wants to watch it, she drew a picture of him and her together (the darling picture in the background), we of course HAD to have the DVD, and then we were at Walmart the other day and right there in front of us was a Justin Bieber t-shirt (for only 3 dollars I might add.) Oh boy Mya was in heaven the second I told her we could buy it.......and now she doesn't want to wear anything but that.......seriously. I have to kind of chuckle inside at the way she acts giddy when we talk about Justin Bieber. And for the record, it drives her brothers CRAZY.....they can't stand him, me and Mya just laugh:)

The many faces of Wils

This little boy of ours just loves OUTSIDE, he loves TRUCKS, he loves HATS, he loves his DADDY, he loves Roo Roo's, he loves SWINGS, and did I mention he loves being OUTSIDE.......oh I just love this little active crazy boy of ours.






Wilson LOVES to sit with the big boys at his brothers baseball games:)




Wils LOVES our neighbors Roo Roo, they even let him take him for walks around the house. Okay Okay, I know......we really need to get a dog.




Chillin with his best friend, DAD.

Girls and dance costumes.....does it get any cuter?

Is there anything cuter than a little girl in her dance costume?? I think not......here's little Miss Mya last night before her tap performance. She did awesome.

Grandpa Bud's Funeral

Yesterday was my Grandpa Bud's funeral........this was very bittersweet for me. Of course I am thrilled that he is not suffering anymore and that he is reunited with loved ones in Heaven, but I am sad for me and my kids. We will miss our visits with Grandpa, I will miss his way of saying, "I love you vvvvvery much." He was an amazing man, such a hard worker, always had a story to tell, and had nothing but unconditional love for all of his family.

After the funeral all of our family met at the park for a little picnic, I wished it would have been warmer so that everyone stayed longer but it was so nice to sit and chat with all of my cousins and relatives.




I LOVE YOU GRANDPA, VERY VERY MUCH.

Muffins For Moms

A couple days before Mom's Day the 2nd graders have a program called "Muffins for Moms" where they sing to us and then we go into their classroom, play some games, read their darling books they made, see the presents they made for us, and eat muffins. This year I was such a baby, I seriously bawled when they were singing to us, Dallin was so dang precious up there. Sure love that kiddo of mine.

Me and my sweet precious little Dally Goo......seriously this kid every single day brightens my day just with those big brown eyes and handsome little smile!






Here's my Goo singing.....this song made me bawl, seriously. (Angels Among Us)




So I have to tell you that one of the moms in Dallins classroom came up to me and showed me the book that her daughter had made called "A princess" where there was a picture of her as the princess and Prince Dallin next to her. She says she has a crush on my little Goo, it was so cute!
