Memory Monday

So I was reflectiong today about all the memories that I could write about and some old memories came to mind but then I got to thinking about memories in general, building them and cherishing them. I am so glad that my children have had the opportunity to be around their cousins so much and to be so close to them. Because of my transplant we had to move to California and missed alot of time with family that we would have had if we stayed in New Mexico! But I have alot of wonderful memories from my childhood and I would not trade them for anything is this world. I am happy to know that my kids will have great ones too and be able to remember great times that they spent with Breanna and Garrett, the older ones in the picture. And all the growing up together that they get to do with Alexia and Chloe. And all the special memories that they will share with Mackenzie and all the other babies to come from my side of the family. I hope that they will always cherish the time that they have spent together.

Doc Appts

Today the kids had doctor appointments. Everything went really really well. We have switched to a ned doctor down here by us and I cant be more happy with him. He was very caring towards the kids and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed him.

Ok: here are the stats:

Mason - weight 27.5 lbs, height 32.5 inches, and is doing great. He had three shots and he did really well. Only cried a little bit. We just broke him this week of his binky and he still asks me for it but has not had it for two days.

Cheyenne - weight 47.5 lbs, height 41.5 inches and she had two shots. She didnt cry at all with the shots. The doctor told her, I have to give you these shots to keep you healthy and she just sat there for it. Then he asked her when he was done if she was ok and she shook her head no and he said do you need a hug and so he hugged her and she did so good.

I am so proud of these great and growing kids. Thank you for doing a great job today!

First Day of Preschool

So, today was Cheyenne's first day of preschool and she loved it! She did so so great, I am so proud of her. She attends Tiny Tots by our house, she will be going Tuesdays and Thursdays fom 9-12. I think that she will really enjoy the learning time and being more independent. When I took her this morning, we went in and she put her stuff in a cubby and saw all teh craft stuff that was out and she turned to me and said, " Bye Mom, Give me a Kiss" So, I did and I ran, hahaha, hoping with all hope that she would do great and she did.

Mason and I will be using that time when she is at school to hopefully spend some much needed time with just us. Although, today he slept the entire time she was gone, even with getting in and out of the car like 4 times so I could get some shopping done. I actually had to wake him up from his nap to go inside and get her.

One funny story that I have gotten out of Cheyenne so far involved her passing gas. Apparently during play time she tooted and other kids looked at her and she took a cue out of her mommy's playbook and blamed it on someone else, hahahaha. She told that story and then couldnt stop laughing.

Turning 4 !!

Today, my baby girl turned fours years old. I cannot believe that it has been four fabulous years as a mommy! And Cheyenne is getting to be such a big girl!

Cheyenne will be starting preschool next month as well as soccer on the weekends. She is so excited about soccer she is constantly running up and down the hallway kicking her soccer ball that Auntie CoCo got her, she loves it. I am looking forward to watching her play and wear her out! At last measurement, she was about 41.5 inches tall, just for records sake of how big she is now!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! We love you!

Passing on the Addiction

So, I believe that I have passed on my addiction to caffeine and Dr Pepper in particular. Last week while we were at the water founain park that they have down here, I, in poor planning, forgot juice boxes for the kids. All I had was a Dr Pepper for myself.

So, Cheyenne tried it and she was like EWWW!! that is gross, no thanks mom!

But then my boy tried it and he would not give the can back to me. Needless to say that I now have to hid my soda from him or he goes nuts wanting more!
