FIrst Day of School. Sock Hop and Pumpkins

Life has been exciting and super busy for the girls. Grace is loving school and Loves to learn. Looking at her I cannot believe how mature she has gotten. I volunteer at her school once a week and I am so proud of how she acts and how she makes an effort to be kind to others and to do what her teacher wants. She has started to read short books and loves to come home and practice what she has learned at school.

We had our first dance recently recently. I can remember going to this dance when Kelli was younger and I look forward to going for the next ten or more years. It was so much fun to watch the little kids spin and twirl to the music. The Kindergarten class I think had the most fun. The started doing a fast ring around the rosie and would spin until the whole group fell down.






With Halloween just around the corner, we were able to take a trip to a local pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins. Clara was so excited to be able to go with her sister.


Clara is doing great. We are only three weeks away from starting nursery. She is a very active and adventurous girl.She loves going for walks and wants to be involved in everything that her sister is doing. I am still amazed at the love and connection that they have for each other. She is such a sweetheart always giving out kisses and hugs whenever she wants to. She still is not talking a lot but I'm sure sometime down the road I will be missing the days when she was not talking. She is still a total momma's girl.

WOW. Where has the time gone.

I cannot believe how long it has I been since I last posted. So much has happened. I promise that I will get more diligent with my postings. Right now this is the easiest form of Journalism that I can do. I am an avid reader of other peoples blogs and will try to get better.

As far as things that are going on here. Beau has surgery in just over a week and a half. He is having his tonsils out along with a soft palette scrap, uvula trim and his tongue microwaved. Sounds like a lot hunh? I cannot imagine what it will be like around here without him talking. He will be in ICU overnight thanks to his apnea. Please keep him in your prayers.

I have started to take time out and develop my talents. I have learned how to make a diaper cake and I am getting ready to teach a few things for Super Saturday (Which happens to be held two days after Beau's surgery). I will post more pictures as it gets closer.

The last good exciting news is that my sister is coming with my Nephew. I cannot wait. It will be wonderful to see how the girls will be around Him.

This was my first attempt at a Diaper Cake for a Baby Shower. I cannot wait to try to make another one. Tons of FUN!

First Day of School

I cannot believe it! Grace Started school today. My alarm did not go off which started the morning in a hurry. She was calm and excited. I dropped her off at school and she immediately jumped right in not needing me to stick around and comfort her. I think that I needed to linger longer than she needed me to. It seems like only yesterday that she was a tiny baby in my arms looking to me for all her needs. Now she is an independent little women ready to do her own thing. She amazes me daily with her quick whit and creative mind. I am so proud of her.

4H and the Fair

I just wanted to take a minute and wish my sweet sister Kelli good luck in the fair. She starts tomorrow with the evaluation. We will be there cheering you on..

Look how big..

I found this picture of the girls one short year ago. Below arethe current pictures of the girls. I cannot believe how big they have gotten. They keep me running and always on my toes. I love each and every day with them.

Better late than never..

I feel like I am way behind when it comes to blogging but after a great enrichment I have decided that it is better late than never. I will start by letting you know what everyone is up to.

Clars- At 15 months now, Clars is a busy girl. She loves music and to climb on everything. She is very aware of everything that is going on and loves just to be around her big sister. She has a very strong will and a very sweet side. She loves to shower me with kisses and hugs.

Gracie- I cannot believe that Gracie is starting Kindergarten in 13 days. She is so excited to be going to school but insists that she will still be my little girl. (She also told me I would not be old until she was 15) With the help of a tutor, her speech has improved. I cannot believe how big she is.

Beau- He is working a lot and keeping busy. We have just started the adoption proceedings and hopefully by the end of the year it will be completed. I will keep you posted.

and me, well, I have kidney stones again. I have a screaming baby and will post more later.
