The first of many first days of school...

Yesterday morning Sarah started Pre-Kindergarten. We spent all weekend talking about it so that she would be excited about going. This plan actually worked! She couldn't wait to get to school and asked to go about every five minutes. It was really nice because there was no struggle to get her ready.

When we arrived to school I sat in the car for a moment and truly thought about just taking her back home. Then I realized that she would have to start school sometime and that I can't keep her my baby forever. So, Sarah and her entourage (me, Aaron, Evan, and my mom) walked inside.

Her classroom was kid friendly and the teacher had laid out some coloring sheets and brand new crayons so the kids could color. We put away Sarah's backpack and lunch box (filled with a peanut butter sandwich, cheddar bunnies, and grapes) in her cubby. The teacher led us to her seat and she began to color.

We waited about 5 minutes and then kissed her goodbye. Then we waited around a few more minutes until she was distracted again before we left the room. All three of us waited in the hall so we could have one more peek inside the classroom to make sure she was okay. Thankfully she was doing great.

5 months old!

Evan is now 5 months old and I can hardly believe it. He's probably close to 17 pounds and seems to be growing bigger by the minute. He can roll over with great ease anytime he wants. He loves to play with his toys and put anything and everything in his mouth. We've been feeding him cereal and green beans, peas, and carrots for about 3 weeks now. Evan is such a happy baby and for that we are very grateful. Here are a few new pictures, enjoy:)

Big Girl Haircut

Yesterday I became brave and decided it was time to cut Sarah's hair short. It's a little above her shoulders and it turned out really cute. I'm still learning how to fix it. She now looks like a big girl who is ready for school!

4 months old today!

This has been a big week for us! First Sarah turned 3 on Wednesday and now Evan is 4 months today. Aaron and I just can't believe how big he has gotten in what feels like such a short time. He is constantly munching on his hands as you can see in the first picture. In the second picture you can see how he can not turn onto his tummy...almost.

My 3 year old princess

Today is Sarah's 3rd birthday! I can't believe that 3 years has already passed. Today we went to Build A Bear with Maw Maw (Sandy), Grammy (Rosalinda), Papi (Manuel), Alison, Anjolee and Kenzee. There were so many choices of animals that it took Sarah about 4 rounds of looking to choose her animal. First she wanted a pink unicorn. I have to admit that I thought the unicorn wasn't the cutest animal there but it's her birthday. Thankfully, she changed her mind and ended up picking a Hello Kitty animal.

Then we came home to eat pizza and birthday cake. After that is was present time and she got her first bicycle. I can't wait for it to cool off a little bit so that she can practice riding it.

I am so thankful for my sweet Sarah. She has changed my life for the better and is truly a gift from God. I can't wait to watch her grow because she has been such a joy!

Evan is 14 weeks!

This is the smile that we are blessed to see everyday! He is such a great baby!

Evan's 2 month pictures

So I am a bad mother because I should have posted these pictures when I got them back 3 weeks ago. The terrible thing is that Evan will be 4 months in about 2 weeks. I will try to post them a little sooner than I did these pictures.

We did get a few smiles but I am hoping for more the next time.
