The Great and Dreadful Day....

Well the day finally came, Landon's first day of Kindergarten.
I have been so excited and so sick all at the same time. But he was unbelievably thrilled to go so I guess I had to take him.

But not before some loves from his Dad....

...and his Mom(sniffle, sniffle)

He walked right into the class room, hung up his backpack, sat down, grabbed a crayon, so I quickly snapped this pic. That was it, no tears, no "I'm going to miss you terribly," so Wayne and I gave him a kiss and told him goodbye and we walked out. Don't get me wrong, we did not leave for another 20 minutes, where we stood in the hall and stared at our little boy just to make sure he was still "Ok."

We then picked him up after what seemed the longest day of our lives and I guess ....he was fine. He was actually elated and had the best day and couldn't wait to go back again....I gotta say it hurt to let him go. I never understood until now, I'm going to miss having him around all the time, we have so much fun together. But I am so glad that he was so brave and so happy about this whole experience. It made it a lot easier for Wayne and I.


Love you Buddy. Good Luck on this terrible, wonderful, awful, super awesome journey called.......Life.

My Mom got to come and visit for a week. Woo Hoo! It was about time. We had a lot of fun! I miss havin this lady around!

My Nanny, me, Ella and my Mom

We had a really nice visit with my Nanny. It used to be so nice when she lived close to us, now she's out in Mesa so we don't get to see her as often as I'd like. A big thank you to having all of our families over, as you can see there are a lot!

Ella's Birthday festivities

A few Pics of Ella's 4th Birthday with our families.
Kayley and Ella (Landon can't resist stealing the picture)

Ella only asked for a Little Mermanaid cake (that's what she calls it)

The morning of her birthday, she was so excited, she'd been talking about it for months.

Dawson, Landon, Ella and Teigan trying out her new slip n' slide.

She got a lot of fun girly gifts! It was a super fun day for her!
