Chad and Claire Waldron!!!





Had such a fun weekend. Tome and I went to Chad Waldron and Claire Gillespie's wedding. What an amazing event... done by Jen Peterson of course. Claire was breath taking! What a beautiful bride. Tome and I had the best time, danced on the dance floor like we were still in our prime with no kids. What a wake up call the next morning!

Still living in our beautiful Teal House on Chestnut, but I do see the beginning of the tunnel. Our plans are at the city and we should get clearance to start our remodel in about a month... Needless to say I can't wait.

My boys are getting so big and Kyle is actually starting to show signs he might like his brother. I love that.

Tome and I have managed not to kill each other over this remodel yet... we will stay strong... pray for us!

Kyle and Caden Are Having A Blast!







Kyle and Caden continue to grow and amaze their mommy and daddy. Today Kyle had Artzone Preschool. It is a drop off school, however I have not been able to drop him off and leave him. Today was a huge breakthrough. He cried when I left and we waved goodbye to each other at the window, and then he was fine. I got the call that he was okay and I actually got to run some errands with Caden. When I went back to school to pick him up, he saw me in the window and was so happy. He wanted to show me everything in the class. Teacher Stefanie, who we love, showed me pictures she had been taking... Kyle had the best time! Caden loved having mommy to himself too. Stefanie said she would send me the pics.. I will post later...

First Week of School






This was Kyle and Caden's back to "school" week. I am beat! WE are doing South Bay Adult School - aka Mommy and Me, Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is a sibling class so Caden gets to tag along. There are a few moms in my class from last year, so that is cool. Kyle has been playing with Sadie and stoaked on his buddy Teagen. Thursdays there is a class two doors down that I just found out today, all of my other mommy friends are in. They are doing the one day a week because they only have one kid and are doing other pre-schools the other days of the week. I am so stoaked to see all of them. The kids all play at the same time in the playground... it is just like last year! So much fun!

Wednesdays Kyle is in Artzone Pre-school. It is supposed to be a drop off. 930-1230. The first day was actually last week. I tried to leave after awhile and Kyle threw a fit, so I stayed. So much fun holding Caden for 3 hours. Not a light load. Yesterday was a lot better. His buddy Dylan Leoff was there and he loved having him as his "side kick". Allyn and I tried to sneak off to big lots for five seconds and they did fine until they saw us walk by to put our stuff in the car and we didn't come back. This is definitely a work in progress.

Haiden Surf is taking off... so much going on. I will talk about that later....

Wow I had a lot to say!
