R's birthday

R had a GREAT birthday party this last Sunday. A bunch of family and friends were able to make it to celebrate her special day with us. We are sad that Aunt Yo-Yo, Aunt Shannon, Aunt Shala and her cousins, as well as her big brother B, couldnt be there, but they were there in spirit. Here is our princess first thing in the morning on her day. Very sleepy and wearing the t-shirt that Grandpa Jim and Grandma Julie got her. For a 3t it really fits her pretty good.

Her cake. Everyone loved it and she was in love with the Ellallalla that was on it. (For those that dont speak R, that is Cinderella.)

Look at the awsome bath toys that Nana and Papa got her. They must have known she needed more toys for the tub.


Her give from her other nana. Poor Prince Charming had to take a trip back to the store because his arm kept falling off, but he was replaced, with a new and even better Prince.



Look at a few of the great people that came to our party!!





She loved the cake, but wanted NOTHING to do with the candles, so mama had to blow them out for her.





This is what it's all about....



Today one of her gifts from mama and daddy got left by the fed ex guy.





Ok babys ride is over, its my turn. (this is where I point out that little miss thing hates to sit in her own stroller.)




Isnt this how you are supposed to play?

Tomorrow is the first day of preschool

So tomorrow D gets to go back to school. He is so excited to see his friends from last year. He finished up swim lessons. Can you believe that the sessions were 2 weeks long for each one, and he went all summer and stayed in the same class? He can do the front and back float in the baby pool, but is to scared to do it in the pool that is just a little bit deeper. So that held him back. Maybe next summer he will not be as scared. I am ok with it. I am not sure that S is. He really wants D and R to be above the rest so to speak. Silly man will just have to learn to accept things the way they are.

R is 2 years old now. Her birthday was last thursday and today she went to the dr for her 2 year appoinment. She is 32 inches tall, and 22 pounds. I wish she would grow just a little, just so I can go cloths shopping for her. LOL

B is doing SOOO good the last few weeks. I was so happy to get a letter from him last week telling me, "thank you for asking me all those hard questions at visit. It upset me, but it made me feel good to talk to you like a adult." Isnt that AWSOME?!? He is also working harder on his school work, although he failed his US States test. He said he studied hard for it, and knew them all, but when he sat there to take the test his mind went blank, I TOTALLY understand where he is comeing from as I have test anxiety to.
