Kindergarten

Collin had his first day of kindergarten today. He was so excited, he couldn't wait for school to start. When we dropped him off today the teacher read this book called: "The Kissing Hand." It is one of the cutest books I have ever heard, I highly recommend it. It is about a raccoon that doesn't want to go to school, his Mom, tells him a secret about giving him a kiss in his hand so that he can always remember her. The raccoon goes to school and when ever he felt lonely he looked at his hand and felt better.
When the teacher was done she told the kids to go five their Moms a kiss in our hands. It was so cute. Then it was time for us to leave, he was fine when I left, and I cried. All the way home. I am pretty sure I will cry again. I love my Collin and am so excited for him. I am going to miss him. I hope you have a great year Collin.

Showing me how excited he is to go to school.

He is getting so big!

Remember Me?

It has been way too long since I have posted anything. We have been pretty busy around here lately we bought our first home, went on a very long vacation, and are either finishing or starting new semesters with school. I feel like everything we do revolves around our school. I have one more class left and then I will have my associates. All the hard work is starting to be worth it :) Jason, will be taking 5 classes this semester. It is going to be CRAZY! but, I know he can do it.

Anyways... as of late we have been busy getting Collin ready for school. Today we went for his testing and finally met his teacher. I love her already. Collin, is in the class with two of his friends from church which is going to be so much fun. Collin is very excited to start and can not wait until the 17th. I cant believe all the fun things they will be doing. He is going to have a great time. Maddie and I are going to miss him we wont know what to do.

Maddie is doing great, we recently had her hair cut. It was a little bit past her shoulders but it was getting to many split ends and when we went in to get it trimmed, the stylist suggested cutting all the split ends off, she ended up with a very cute A-line cut. It turned out very cute. It is a lot more upkeep though we cant pull it back anymore so we have to do it every day now, which is not fun. She hates getting her hair done. lol




On a random note, the other day I was having Collin and Maddie clean out a bucket for me and when I looked out our window this is what I found. There was about 4 inches of water in there and they decided to go swimming. I don't blame them, we live in NM if they see any water they will play in it. lol
