First day of Kindergarten

Oh yeah our first one in school. She loved her first day and we love her new teacher.

Our day

We have a swimmer

So we go to the pool almost every day now and love it. Well today i thought lets have Alyssa try to swim with out floats you know just to see. Well she can swim and really good we worked on it for like 30 minutes and she had it down. So when we got out to go to the bathroom i thought lets really test it so i had her just jump in the deep end with me well she came right up and swam to the stairs. I am so proud of her learning to swim and going to kindergarten all in the same couple of weeks she is to big. And just to give kudos to Reagan all day just one little accident in her panties maybe just maybe we will win the potty war too.

Ha ha

This is what happens when you think everything will be fine if Mason stays in his room with his sister playing so you can go potty and put some chicken in the oven

New and some not so new things

I thought i would write a little about the kiddos and some new things they are doing and starting to do.
Alyssa is just as she has always been she has a reason for everything and i mean everything. She always feels the need to tell me the reason of why she does what she does like i eat hot dogs because they are my favorite or i pushed my sister because she made me mad. I wonder sometimes if she does this because i ask her when she does things she is not supposed to do why she did them? She is growing so much and really becoming a big girl she loves to help with Mason and she has been a big help to me since Ben has been gone. It is sad how fast they do grow. She will start kindergarten this year well in one week and she can not wait for it. I love that she loves to go to school i hope that, that love will continue for her i never enjoyed it and probably never will.
Reagan has changed in a lot of ways one being her talking and i mean all of the sudden her talking. She amazes me what she will say now when just one year ago it was just mama and maybe one or two more words. We are so blessed that her speech has changed everything for her. I can not imagine what it must feel like to now be able to talk to everyone now. The gifts that everyone can take for granted. Oh and if you are a parent of little one you will understand this one she can now buckle her self in her car seat i know this will sound lazy to some but come on i have three of them it is a big thing to me when they learn how to do this. We are working on potty training i really do believe i have been blessed with the most stubborn kids when it comes to potty training are you kidding me just please use the potty it would make mommy so happy. She has been doing other things like coloring in the lines and she is now trying to write her own name just like sissy as she will say.
And now for Mason as you know so many more new things than his sisters lately. First we now have a second tooth yay right considering he will not take a bottle for me still this should get fun right. He loves to play in his room i set it up with all the baby toys and well he just thinks that he is big stuff now. He can stand alone now yay again because we all know what is going to come next walking are you kidding me you would think i am ready or maybe even a pro because he is my third but no i dread it. All the things that will have to be put away little toys crayons pens markers oh i need to stop. And then there is his laugh which he loves to use on me he loves to use it when he will not do what i am trying to get he to do it could be as simple as him just sitting or taking a bite of food. Maybe he just likes to see me smile just as much as i like to hear him laugh. And let me say everyone told me about the mamma's and little boys thing well i understand lets just say he melts my heart and no i am not saying the girls don't but i love my little man.
And as for me well i did something i never thought i would do i decided to drive across the states 4300 hundred miles in all me driving the whole time with 5 kids a friend oh yeah and a dog and well i am proud of my self. I now am not afraid to go out to eat with all three of my kiddos by my self. I will go in a store now with all loose of course only quick trips. Well that is it for my thoughts tonight.

Bye Bye and a wave

Just had to share that last night Mason was sitting in his chair in Sarah's house and all the sudden he just waved and said bye bye. I love it they are so amazing to me. I know everyone is probbley thinking it was just a wave but it was as if some told me i won the lottery it is the best when they do something new.

First tooth

It has been a while since i have gave any updates but we have been out of town to see my sister get married. We had a good time as always it just seems like there is never enough time to be home with the family.
Some fun news from Mason he has cut his first tooth learned to pull up oh yeah and stand alone he is growing to fast. Before i know it he will be walking why can they not just be a baby for ever. Here are a couple of pictures from Mandi's wedding enjoy!
