Rylie Goes to Preschool

Rylie has grown up so much in these last few months. She has been very excited to finally get to go to school like her big brother. Rylie really loves her big brother (in between really not loving her big brother... ha ha) and loves to keep up with everything he does. It's pretty darn cute. So here is our little Ry-bug on her first day of preschool. She is loving her teacher Miss Bonnie and having her friend Cali in her class. I am so thrilled she is having a good experience.

Kaden Goes To Kindergarten

After a couple month hiatus from the blogging world I think I'm back. I think. I haven't quite figured out where to squeeze "blogging time" into the ol' schedule. I used to squeeze it in late at night, but Parker keeps me on my toes and runnin' all day long so by the time I put the kids to bed and straighten the house- I'm pretty much spent!! Anyways, not that any of you wanted to hear that... onto my first item of business since being back in my official "blogger seat:"

My first baby boy is now officially a kindergartener!!

Kaden on his first day of school...

There are so many little boys in our neighborhood going to kindergarten this year. Here is just a small sampling of them...

Handsome little fella...

Socializing before school...

Kade-man and Stock-to-the-O!! Such good buddies.
Now if you want entertainment just hang out with these guys for a minute. Hilarious!! Here they are showing off their "get to know me" posters.

The worst part... watching them file into that school. I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched my baby boy walk out of my life forever. Okay, that's a little dramatic I know. It was only 2 hours and 40 minutes, but it felt like the beginning of something I didn't like... my children REALLY growing up. I think I've been in denial all these years, and it is truly happening. I didn't cry that day. But there have been many days since that have had me in an all out melt-down. I think I'm finally on the road to recovery for any of you that were wondering (I promise I'm not a drama queen- I just write dramatic :) Makes it much more fun.) Anyways, Kaden is happy as a clown to be finally going to the "big school" as he calls it. And we are pleased as punch that he is enjoying it and doing so well.

Way to go buddy! Keep up the good work!!
