Chelseas Pre-K Graduation

Chelseas graduation was the last day of school for us and the day after Kylees. They had it decorated soo cute and had the kids file in to a very cute Hawaiian song.

They had the kids say the pledge and sing some songs then proceded to give out ABC awards and Diplomas. They suprised me and gave Chels another ABC award! Its a good thing that I already had my camera on or I would have missed it! This is why she was nominated: "Chelsea is a very curious Student. She likes to try new things and get messy! She is fun to teach and has a lot of friends. Chelsea has a great attitude and has been fun to have in class." I laughed out loud when they said she likes to get messy- IT'S SO VERY TRUE!


Then we had cookies and punch in the room and they had that decorated so cute too. I love her teachers and am extremly sad we wont be able to put Emma in the program in a couple years! They taught the kids so many new things. A couple weeks ago Chels came home talking about Capacity and before that about Pictographs. I seriously had to remember what a pictograph even was to know what she was even talking about!!

Good Job Chelsea "Boom, Boom" Taylor, Love you Chels, You did awesome and I know you will do just as good in Kindergarten.

Kylees Kindergarten Graduation

My Kylee Baby graduated from Kindergarten today. I am very proud of myself, I did not shed a single tear-I did get choked up but no tears fell. (tomorrow when its Chelseas Pre-K graduation luau and its the final goodbye I am sure I will though)I am definately more involved in the kids' than the typical mom. I go in about twice a month and help in class and and catch all the class parties and fieldtrips so I have definately formed some friendships with the girls' teachers and am really sad to be not returning next year. Kylees teacher is even keeping Emma for me while I go to Chelseas graduation luau in the morning.

They had all the kids walk in to the Rascal Flatts song "My Wish" and that got me really choked up for some reason. Kylee was typical Kylee, totally unaware until you catch her attention then she freezes up.

Kylee and her "Second Mama" Ms. Sarah. Kylee is forever calling me Ms Sarah and Ms. Sarah mama. We all love her and are so glad and thankful that Kylee was in her class, she is such an awesome lady and we will miss her terribly this summer and next year. I can only hope she gets a teacher half as good as her next year at her new school.

Good Job Kylee Marie! I am so proud of you baby girl! Here's to a great FIRST GRADE!

HELP! PLEASE!

Ok I dont want to put too many details on here but we are asking for some help from our friends and family. We have had a situation come up and long story short need to buy a plane ticket for a young member of the family who could be heading down a long, dark, hard road if they dont get some help ASAP.

Financially its not possible if some extra money doesnt come up from some where. So Sol and I have decided that I need to try super hard (not that I wasnt trying before) and get a some extra Scentsy money pulled in. I have also listed everything that I can on ebay to help too.

I make 25% commission plus some royalties so if ANYONE can, PLEASE, PLEASE order some scentsy to help us out. It breaks our hearts and makes our stomaches sick that we arent able to just buy a ticket and call it done. I normally dont do this (and feel kinda wierd and bad about it) but I really dont know what else to do to get it done and the thought of it not getting done and the persons life in the next while just makes me sick and depressed. I looked on Southwest and the cheapest I can find is 257.00 so I need to do roughly about $1,000 worth of sales. Even if the order is 3.00 for a car candle, every bit helps!

If you cant order anything please just remember them in your prayers, prayer really does work and can change lives!
Thank you so much!

FINALLY

Ok guys this is super exciting for me! I am so happy to announce that Emma is now offically potty trained!! We have been working on it for quite sometime and with a baby coming in November it couldn't have come at a better time! Last night was the true test. At home she does really really well but I wanted to see how she did being out. Well Sol took her to Rachel and Adams last night and she had NO ACCIDENTS the whole time so I am taking that as done! She wears a pull up to bed and sometimes during nap time-if she gets one and thats it. She can even 'go' by herself! HOORAY! Good Job Emma Ray! Love ya baby!

Kylees Fieldtrip

Yesterday I was not feeling very well but I dragged it out and went with Kylee and 80 kindergarteners on her fieldtrip. We got on this big riverboat called the Music City Queen and went down the Cumberland River. It was so much fun, I am really, really glad I dragged it out and went with her. For those who have been to Disneyland, there is a big riverboat called The Mark Twain Riverboat. It feels exactly like this one did and had a lot of the same details as this one too. I felt like I was back at Disneyland the whole time I was on the fieldtrip!

I love those special "Mommy and Me" moments where I can just relax focus on just one child and have fun with her and not worry about other kids, cleaning, cooking, etc.

I was not able to ride the bus with her but Kylees teacher that I just love was sending me pics from her phone to mine since I was sad to miss that.

They had all kinds of music going and if you know Kylee she cant sit still when she hears a beat! She was the star of the top deck for sure!

Chelsea's Fieldtrip

I went with Chelsea on another fieldtrip. We went to Lowes and did the kids workshop thing they have there. All the kids thought it was so beyond cool that they got to actually hammer nails into wood. Chels HATED the goggles they had the kids wear. She liked the fieldtrip up to that point and was mad at the lady who made her wear them. I tried to get a picture of her wearing her gear before it started but she was so not in the mood.

So then I tried to get a picture with her to see if that would work. Ya not so much!


We then went to the park for playing and a picnic but I didnt get any pictures. THe bus driver was sick so he said he was going to leave and come back. My purse with my lunch and camera and everything in it was on the bus. So no pics, sorry!

Introducing....Roscoe

This is our new boy, Roscoe. Its a funny story on how we got him. While I was pregnant with Emma and getting ready to go to Arizona to watch my sisters kids while she was going to Europe for 2 weeks, Sol called me and said he had a suprise. Ya it was a puppy. Not very excited for it but it is what it is, Sol is a dog person for sure! So we had her up until this past Christmas time. We decided to give her to a new home for many reasons. Well, the kids were of course heartbroken and Sol wanted another male dog that he could take to work and train like our old one that got ran over.
We just moved into this apartment 2 months ago and Sol gets dog hungry like I get baby hungry. Everytime we see dogs on the side of the road for sale he has to stop and look, he looks online, etc. Well last Saturday we were meeting Adam and his kids for lunch and we passed a popular place where puppies are sold on the side of the road.
Sol is driving and freaks out! "I see BLUE PIT PUPPIES!" I tell him no, we are getting a kid instead and I am starving-NOT a good thing for a 10 week pregnant lady to be. So we go eat and afterward he stops and looks at the puppies. Even I am impressed and fall in love with one but I seriously dont want a dog especially while I am pregnant...
Well we got to talking and the guy we gave our old dog to couldnt keep her so he gave her to this guy who bred her and they were her puppies! Sol had to have one at that point. The guy was really nice and let us take him home for free as long as we brought him back and kept in touch so he could use him for studding when he gets older.
So, here is Roscoe. Sol takes him to work every day and even gets up with him at night so I have minimal responsiblity for him, thank goodness!
