Times are Changing...

This morning I took Fox to preschool for his first day. I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed. I can't believe he is old enough to go to school. It is only half day school and with him being my first child, I am happy with that. I hope this will break us in for all day school next year.

He is so excited about school. He was smiling all morning. I gave him a haircut last night for school and he told me not to cut the top because he wants to put gel in his hair. Now you know he is excited when he wants gel in his hair because he normally HATES gel! Throws a fit when I want to put it in his hair. He even told me how to style it this morning. Ok, where did my child go, because this is an imposter?!

So I dropped him off and he went right in without me. With the nice carpool system they have at the school he can just be a big boy and go in all by himself. It was wierd to watch him go with out any help from me, but I guess he has always been that type of boy. 'Just go already mom, I want to play' is his normal attitude.

He had a great first day. Got in the car smiling still. That is a good sign. He likes his teachers, had a lot of fun, but the best part, like most things, he has his cousin Boston in his class with him.

Dax 3 Months

Dax turned 3 months old today. He is such a sturdy little guy I decided to get out the exersaucer. I think he likes it.

He is quite fascinated with the toys.

He concentrates very hard on what I have to say. He loves his fingers and hands. I hear him sucking on them from accross the room.

He is a smiley little guy.

And he is my little chunky monkey.

He is growing so fast I wish he would slow down a little. Before I know it he is going to be all grown up.

Jayde...

Jayde has been playing with her babies a lot more now that we have Dax. She has to change her babies, put them in their strollers and carriers, feed her babies, and burp her babies. She is always carrying around her purse to make sure she has the essentials, which includes a burp cloth, not a burp rag. Ask her about the burp rags and she will correct you by telling you it is a burp cloth. The other day she had to feed her baby while she was eating. I guess she thinks it comes out through the stomach. Other times she is sitting on the couch with a blanket covering her while she feeds. She loves her babies.

Jayde is quite the chatter box lately. There are so many things I need to write down that she says, but tonight she told her dad that she is a girl and mommy is a girl and Fox is a buddy. I love what little kids say when they are trying to be so serious and all we can do is laugh.

40th Anniversary

I am very blessed to have such wonderful parent's. They are always there for me when I need them. They have so much fun with me and my kids. They are so very helpful, kind, generous, loving, and supportive. I am grateful that I get to spend time with them often. Happy anniversary Mom and Dad. I love you more than words can say.

Dax's First MLB Game

We took Dax to his first MLB game on Friday, July 31st. Of course it was when the Dodgers were in town.

We went without Fox and Jayde. They got to stay home with Grandma Janine and Grandpa Ralph.

My sister Tammy and her husband Ryan are in town right now and they got to share in Dax's big moment.He was lovin' it.


Until he got too hot and tired.

Needless to say, Dax and I spent a lot of the game in the inside, airconditioned area they have here on the club level at turner field. (Thank heavens they have this level.) It was a very hot and humid night.
