few new random pics!

Boy vs Girl..??!!!!

why we (need) a BOY....

we only have 1 and he is 12 years old already : (

he would give ryley a brother finally!!

the clothes,the stuff,the toys= cheaper

we love the name we have picked out for him

the True name will be ongoing

i think they just might be "easier"

our family would be equal 3 boys, 3 girls

he would have the BEST big brother and sisters : )

to have another mama's boy would be a dream come true!

why we (need) a Girl....

we already have 2 so we definatly know what to do lol

who doesn't love pink,ruffles and sparkles??!

hand-me-downs are wonderful! and i have quit a bit

she would have the BEST big brother and sisters : )

ryley loves her name we have picked out for her

daddy would have "another" princess to love on!

i just keep telling myself that not knowing is the best thing for us, it keeps me from stressing over baby stuff, over spending money and just being able to relax a little more.. so for now i'll continue to wait only 7 more weeks to go, and we can't WAIT to see who God decided to add and complete to our sweet family. what a blessing He or She will be!

so baby please just keep growing as perfectly as you have been (with the help of God of course!)

First day of Preschool!

Today i took my baby girl to Preschool! i think i'm still in shock that she is old enough to go?!.. but with much debate, i knew it was time and a good thing. she's been so excited about the start of school and i know she'll grow and learn so much during the year!
when we pulled up to the school, there was NO apprehension in my big girls heart... just a little bit in mommy's : (
walking up to the school like the big girl she is!

i could have lost it but i just looked at her and made myself get a grip, you would think that by the 3rd child going to preschool on their first day would get easier, but i guess it just doesn't work that way.. (or at least not for me anyways) BUT i knew she was going to be fine.. and so was I

she walked over to find her name tag after i signed her in, then she walked over to the water/sensory table with a big smile!!.. i told her to have a fun day and i love her (a few times) and she gave me a big kiss!

leaving the parking lot was hard, so i prayed (again) for my big schoolgirl and trusted that she was going to have a wonderful morning!

i wish i could be a fly on the wall during her day. i'd love to watch her, but i guess i'll just take what i can get which is words from her mouth...!

what peyton told me about her first day: *she loved it

*she can't wait to go back

*that there is a mackenzie in her class (?? i have no idea why she remembered this but it must of stood out to her??!)

*that nobody noticed her pretty painted fingernails

*they are going to the pumpkin patch on a field trip

*she didnt' get to play outside but really wanted to

*she got to paint and loves painting

*that she missed me a little (bless her : )

Preschool Open House!!!

Today peyton and i went to meet her teacher for PRESCHOOL!.. she starts monday... and i can't even believe it! First we had to make a quick starbucks stop (chocolate milk for peyton)

she had fun meeting her teacher Mrs Dawn, and meeting new friends as well, I could not be MORE proud of my baby and how excited she is to go to school!.

back to dance and tumbling....

(she is in her flip flops because she had blisters on the back of her feet from her new school shoes)

peyton got her groove on too!!! : )
