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!

These Crazy Times....

The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy busy and I cannot believe that it is almost September already. Our family just returned from a great Family Reunion. In celebration of my 20 year anniversary of my transplant we had a great big party! It was so nice to see some family together and spend some time with relatives that we have not seen in so long. Both of my grandma's were able to make it which was so awesome, I know how much work it was for all of them to get here but I was so glad to see them all and be able to celebrate with my family.

More than anything it was amazing to see my own little family, with my brother and my sister and how much we have all grown. It is nice that we are adults now and can spend some quality time together enjoying just each other's company. And I owe my parents the greatest thank you of all. They did an awesome job making sure that we all had a good time and helping me get to 20 years and having something to celebrate!

See you all in 20 more years! well, hopefully we will see you all before then!

Memory Monday

Since, my friend Kendall does this I thought it was a fabulous idea and a good way to write down memories to preserve here.

So, my first flashback is about the first thime that i really felt like I was married. After we got married, Shane and I decided that we would take a roadtrip for our honeymoon. Until this point I dont think I really thought in terms of I am married now. One of the first places that we went was to Kalispel, MT and stayed with some wonderful family friends named the Stafford's. Anyway, at one point, all the men were outside doing some work with the farm animals and the women were inside. One of the women inside turned to me and asked me, "Is your husband out there, too?" And I probably looked really dumb when because I sat there for a minute until it hit me, Yes I am married and my husband is out there.

We are going on our 5 year anniversary this fall, and I couldnt have asked for a better 5 years of my life! Love you Shane!

All Wet

So, Mason has discovered that the refridgerator dispenses water. So today after he finished his baba, he decided that he would try to fill it up again. And needless to say he ended up like really wet. He was screaming his head off as well, but it was really funny. I couldnt pull myself together to get a pic of the wet mason but here is him try to fill up the bottle!

My New Truck

So over the holiday weekend, we were up at Shane's moms house and he decided we needed a new vehicle. Surprise, Surprise it is a truck! The kids love it though, they can see alot more now! I like driving it, I just do not like the gas mileage, but we will just have to be more careful now!

All I can say is at least it fits in my garage, I would have been really really mad if it didnt.
