Ballerina Girl...

You are so beautiful...

Here is Lexi right before her first day of dance! And she was excited! There were 6 little girls including her best friend Emmy and they were so adorable to watch. Lexi was so good and tried everything they showed her. But I have to say - as of right now - she is not the most graceful girl on the planet!But as we were climbing into the car she told me "Mommy, I want to go in there again!!!" So yay!!! I can not wait to watch each lesson and I am sure I will go ballistic at her end of the year recital! I'll keep you posted...

Our Big First Grader!!!!!

.
He is really in first grade!!! And he is going to school all day! Wow! Seems really strange to have him gone all day. We set his alarm this morning thinking he might have trouble getting up especially since he had trouble going to bed last night. But by 7am he was awake and playing Legos. Maybe it is only Mommy who needs the alarmWhat was really strange was the fact him leaving was just so casual. He was chatting with his friend Tristin who lives next door and just ran to the bus without even saying bye to us!! At least he turned and waved to us from the bus. .
(he is behind the only window with writing on it of course.) And sadly I only got about 4 pictures!! Now what am I going to scrapbook....

And here is also a gratuitous photo of the adorable Ms Lexi waiting for the bus with Logan. She also had a big day and got to meet her two new teachers at the new preschool that she is starting this year. Two more weeks before she gets to go to school for a couple days to be like her big brother.
Best wishes to all of yours on their first day of school.

Things that are making me happy..

* Hearing Todd and the kids in the bedroom getting ready to read bedtime stories and espcially when Logan reads to Lexi. Right now Todd is fighting with the two of them and the room has erupted into laughter.

* School starts on Monday! And Logan will be a big 1st Grader!!!! Yes it is a little sad having him gone all day but also happy.

* Driving down the road with the kids discussing school in the seats behind me - then all of a sudden Lexi saying "Logan you're a cheeseburger head!" And then hearing the two of them break into hysterical laughter (me right with them) I absolutely LOVE that sound!! Of course it then lead to "Sonic Head", "Ketchup Head" and so much more. Maybe I should stop the name calling.... hmmm...

* Baileys and coffee (and the company I have when drinking it) need I say more?

* In the car again and having Lexi and Logan join me in singing at the top of their lungs a song from the Mitch Hansen Band (inspired by Twilight the books series). The song is called Jacob Black - "You're nothing but a dog - nothing but a dog!!!"

* We just had a second Sonic open up in our area!! Diet Vanilla Coke - Yum!!!

* The Olympics!! I love watching them!! But I will be so thankful when the time comes for them to be back in the states because I have GOT to stop staying up until
1 or 2 in the morning!!! But of course I have to see if Michael Phelps makes all 8 golds!!!

* Lexi starts dance next week!! Both Tap and Ballet!!! I am hoping she likes it as much as I did when I was younger!!!!

I hope there are little (or big) things out there making you happy everyday!! Have a great weekend and I will post pictures soon from first day of school and dance!
