2 and 4

There is nothing special about any of these photos, but I love each of them for their own reasons. It is going to be a fun year with these two!

And the most accurate picture of these two:

First day of preschool and MDO!

This week both kids started school! Kade is doing the preschool 3's class again to get back on track for Kindergarten. He goes three mornings a week. Only going half a day was adjustment but I am starting to like it! He loves his new school and teacher and I think it is going to be a fabulous year!

This morning was a big morning for Ella Claire! She started Mother's Day Out at the same school! She is going one day a week from 9-1. I think its the perfect amount for her! She woke up this morning EXCITED! She running around the house saying "I wook tute!" (I look cute!) She did AWESOME on her first day! She walked right in, put her back pack in her cubby and didn't look back! Her teacher asked if she was going to say bye to me and she turned around and said "bye bye MOM!" I reminded her is was MAMA not Mom. :) When I picked them both up today they had both just finished lunch and were sitting next to each other playing.

 

 
 
 
 


The teachers said when they saw each other they ran to each other screaming their names. Kade told me his favorite part of the day was seeing Ella. And most of the way home when I told Ella how proud I was of her on her first day of school she just responded with, "I see KK at 'cool"


God Bless those babies, they make my heart burst in to a thousand pieces of confetti.

Phone update

So much to catch up on but we have been so busy that I haven't had time! 

Move in day!

Our home away from home for about 2 weeks.

This was the day after we moved in. Fortunately we only have about 4 boxes left to unpack! But those have to wait until after the downstairs remodel! 

The weather has been ammmmmazing so we have spent so much time outside! 

The boys went exploring the woods behind out house! About 100 yard in there is a creek! 

Everything about this makes me happy, happy, happy! 

The best of friends!

Homeowners again!

As of Thursday we are homeowners again! We are both SO excited about this home. It has a great mix of what both of us like and the style is me to a "T". The kitchen and living room need some work but we are postponing until after we get more settled. Our household good were suppose to be here on Friday giving us the long holiday weekend to get unpacked but there was a mix up and they won't be here until Wednesday. After a initial meltdown on my end, it's all worked out for the best. We have been at the house the past two days painting and doing a few things that we wanted before the movers came!

Heading in for the first time! 

They have played and played in the backyard! 

We painted Kade's room as well has Ella's new bed! 

On their birthdays we surprised them with a trampoline so that was priority once the house was ours! We are all loving it!

We took the carpet out of the guest room because there were wood floors underneath!

I have to brag on these two. The past few days we have been at the house at 9am and haven't left until close to 6. Barely any naps for Ella and Kade has played and worked so hard and neither have melted down. The have been the biggest troopers! 

Ella turns 2!

Our sweet baby turned TWO on Tuesday! We celebrated her all day! 

She went to bed a 1 year old..

And woke up a TWO year old! 

We went to the mall to walk around and let the kids play! 

Birthday girl got chic fil a for lunch! 

After naps we decided to go back to the park we loved so much the day before! 

Ella got to push the buttons for the elevator all day. Trust me, it's a big deal. :) 

Then it was back home for baths, dinner, cupcakes, and presents! 

Party guests! 

She might only be two, but she knew it was all about her!
