Happy Father's Day 2011

For the past 3 years my dad has been on fishing trips for Father's Day so we have not been able to celebrate with him on the actual day. I would still like to get a picture of me and my daddy because he is so wonderful! My dad has been an amazing role model both as a dad and a papa. We are lucky to have him and love him so much! ( Picture to follow)

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband! He is an amazing father with so much love to give...My girls adore their daddy and I know baby boy will too! We love you Josh! Thank you for working so hard for our family! You're the best!!!

Do you think they look like their daddy? Haha...triplets!!!

Half way

I never took the belly pictures with my other pregnancies but since this is our last pregnancy I thought it would be fun to look back on them one day. Here is a picture of me rockin' a 20 week belly. At this rate I a going to have a pretty large belly by November 3rd. Baby Boy is enjoying his comfy home in there!

I can not believe how fast it popped out this time and how fast the first 20 weeks have gone. I really hope the second half goes as quick as the first :)

End of the school year 2011

Hailee has grown so much from the beginning of the year. She started the school year as a shy, timid little girl. She was afraid to go to school and cried a lot. Over the course of 9 months she matured and blossomed into this confident, intelligent girl who absolutely adored her teacher Mrs. Sadeghipour, and all her friends, and loved going to school. She is having a hard time today as the school year came to a close. She doesn't was to leave Kindergarten and even cried herself to sleep. It breaks my heart that she is heartbroken about the Kindergarten year coming to an end but I am confident she will LOVE being a 1st grader as well! I am sad to see her grow up so fast but am so proud of all her accomplishments this year. Perfect report card, independent reading, 100% on all her homework and classwork all year long, zero tardies...the list goes on and on:) We are so happy that her transfer was approved and she can continue her education at Newland. Excellent school and wonderful staff.

Way to go Hailee..you're awesome!!!

Last day as a Kindergartener!!

Miss Hanna has sure blossomed this year in preschool as well. She started her first year as a preschooler very shy and timid just like Hailee was with Kindergarten. She has grown so much and absolutely loved her teacher Miss Lauren and going to school to see all of "her friends." She can write her name and recognize and write all the letters of the alphabet. She can count to 60!! She may be right on track for a 3 year old but it still impresses me that someone so small can hold so much knowledge! She learned a lot about Jesus and I just loved hearing all the stories through the eyes of a little kid.

Hanna's teacher wrote a little something about each student that she shared with the class on the last day of school. She said the sweetest things about her so I am going to write it down on here so I have it to share with her in the future.

This is what she said...

" Hanna is one of the most mature 3 year old's I've ever met and I just adore everything about her. She follows directions so well and always does her very best no matter what the task is. Hanna came into the class so shy and quiet and throughout the year I have seen her come out of her shell and become this witty girl with so much personality. One of the gifts I have seen in Hanna this year is Peace. She has the ability to stay calm even when things seem a bit challenging. One of my favorite things about Hanna is that she doesn't hesitate to help her friends in need, whether it is cleaning, cutting, and putting shoes on. I'm really going to miss Hanna this summer and have been bless to have her in my class."

I am so happy that Hanna will be returning to Joyful Noises Preschool next year. We adore the staff and just love the school. Way to go Hanna!

Palm Springs Mini Vacation

We stayed at a beautiful hotel called the Renaissance for a short mini vacation in Palm Springs. The weather was perfect and the girls had a blast swimming and just being kids. We plan on going back very soon!

ER Visit

Hanna fell off the monkey bars at preschool. She landed weird and was crying for a long time so we decided to take her to the ER. They took an x-ray and nothing was broken, thank goodness, but they put a splint on it to be on the safe side. She was a champ at the ER and even took a little nap.
