Not Ready To Let Go....

I can't believe in one week my sweet little boy will be heading to what we call the "BIG SCHOOL"! I had a hard time letting Reagan go to Kindergarten, but I have to admit this is even harder! Reagan is such a doll who is anxious for adventure and braces life with open arms and a huge smile! Dylan is similar yet entirely different in the mere fact that he is a little more reserved, who depends on his mom in the most respectful, wordless ways possible! Dylan is my gift and I will take full responsibility for sheltering him a little bit more than my other children! He should of went last year to Kindergarten, but I was too selfish to let him go! He has attended two years of my Preschool and I have coached him in sports and even helped out w/his hip hop class! Needless to say we spend everyday and all activities together! Unlike Reagan, Dylan could care less to go to school! Don't get me wrong he is very excited and he loves to learn and read. He keeps making comments about staying at my school, and being my helper! He loves his house and can be a little bit of a home buddy! I will keep you posted on how it goes! For now.... I'll be on my knees!

Funny Pictures From the Past...

This is Dylan when he was one and our first summer here! I had a huge truck load of dirt brought in for our slip & slide hill. I worked every day/night while Jade was hunting in Arizona, to landscape our yard to surprise him! He is our landscape artist, but I decided to give him a little break! It was a lot harder than I ever imagined but the SURPRISE was well worth it!

Last day of 2nd Grade.....

It's a bitter sweet day! Reagan loves school, her teachers, and her friends. Yet, she loves to be home with mom and she adores sleeping in! She walked in the door today at 11:40 straight off the bus and I came hollering down the hall! Wahooo last day of school.... PAAARRTTTY!!!! She took one look at me and the tears came rolling down her face! Her teacher Ms. Cook stood at the bus stop to give each of her students a hug and wave goodbye! This ripped Reagan's heart out! I am so thankful today for good teachers who love their jobs and treat their students with love and respect!!! I had the opportunity this year to really get to know Reagan's teacher since I was the room mom for all the parties and I helped on Fridays testing students! Thank you Ms. Cook for being a great friend and teacher! We will miss you dearly!!! 1st day of 3 yr. old Preschool!

It's officially my SUMMER......
Last week was the busiest week of my life! School, Work, Dress Rehearsals, Home Work, Dance Recital, Violin, Costume Making, Luau, Graduation Rehearsal, Jazzerette's in Concert, Graduation, 2 days of Pictures, Primary Activity, Dylan's Talk in Primary, Mission Presidents, 8 doz. Homemade Cookies, Presents, Party, Homemade Punch, and I looked so great w/a huge black eye! We made it through and the last picture will show Reagan's and I being overjoyed w/excitement that she performed her last dance ..... till tryouts and dance camp in June!

I let Dawsey participate in Graduation! He was so cute! I asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up and he said, "A Transformer", his fav # is 8, his fav place to go is Chucky Cheese!

Dylan's Preschool Graduation.... he said he wants to be a cop, his fav # is 6, and his fav place to go is the park!


It was so fun having both boys together!

Right after graduation I zoomed over to Hillcrest to run on stage and show everyone there that I was late (funny story)! Then I enjoyed the last concert of all the competitive teams!


This is Reagan's Jetson outfit! We went grocery shopping in it after the concert! She got some funny looks! We just laughed harder!


We ARE DONE!!!!!!

Our New Baby......

This is our new baby "Sugar" she is the sweetest thing and "Sophie" just adores her to pieces! I'm such a sucker for puppies, but the minute I held her I knew she was meant for our family! The kids are in heaven with her, and she is doing extremely well with potty training! My friend bought her brother so we can get them together for play dates!

I LOVE SANTA......





Celebrity Look-A-Likes (I WISH!!!)

What's in a Name!

What Natalie Means
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
