It is Official!!!!

It is official..... The book bag is full of school supplies and clothes shoes are ready to be put on. My Baby is going to Kindergarten!!! There is no turning back. except for looking a the picutre that brought us to this point.
He is so ready. I am not!
I am so proud of Kyle. He is very smart and I know he is ready for this new journey in his life. At the same time he is my baby and I am so nervous for him. I am afraid that he will get hurt and I won't be there to tell him it will be okay. I pray I don't get notes from the teacher saying that he is being mean to his friends.
I know he will be just fine but I still have worries.
I will pray for him daily like my mom has for me.

I will post pictures of him in the morning!

I am BACK!!!!!!

It has been along time. We have been going through alot of stuff lately. I just have not had any time to post.

I am so proud of my babies. They are doing great at their new school. Layla is the youngest in her class and the teachers say she is the most well behaved and good mannered child. Layla is doing way better than I thought. They have only been there for 2 wks and Layla knows how to count to 5 in spanish. I just can't believe it!!
Kyle is doing so well, he has a wonderful teacher too! He is learning how to swim and becoming a big boy!

I have had a rough time with the new adjustment but doing better.
Steven and I are doing great. I think things for us are getting better. I will tell more about all of that later!

Thankful

I have a lot to say and don't know where to start.



I can't believe as of this Friday I will be a parent of a Kindergartner. Yes..... I can't believe it either. Friday is preschool graduation program. It is bitter sweet. This will be Kyle last preschool program and CCC Preschools last program as well.



Kyle has been attending there since he was 2 yrs old. I have fallen in love with all of the teachers in the past couple of years. I have become friends with them as well. Some relationships I will for more than this season in my life.



I know all the parents will need tissues on Friday!



Kyle has grown a lot and jumped over some hurdles. He is very smart and such a sweet heart and of course he is a typical boy who can be wild at times. I am thankful I have a little boy who is full of life and doesn't have a life threatening illness.



On another note, I found a place for the kids to go to in the Summer and for Layla in the fall. I really feel this is the right decision. I have such peace in knowing that.



Everything with me is going good. I am enjoying work though I miss my babies very much each day. I know to build my career I want I have to do this. I am just doing it a little sooner than I had planned.

I promise like I say always I will post pictures soon. I very tired and it is very late.

I will update soon with pics!



Have a Blessed week!

It is a very short update today. Between working and lots of sickness in our house, I have not been able to post anything at all. When I do it will be the mother load!!!
In our house we have gone through 2 stomach virus, ear infection (kyle), colds, alergies, and Layla had some girly infections (yeast) . Yeah she gets it from her mommy. I was born with them. So my mom tells me anyway.
We are all better and doing well! Thank GOD!
I have lots to tell so when I get a chance I will write more!

Awesome Day!!

In Kyle's words today was an awesomeness day!!!!!
Our day started with breakfast from Hardee's then on to Atlanta to the circus. The Circus was great!!! I know we spent a little much on everything but it was still great!!!!
First off they know how to get you on the money. $7 on popcorn, $4 on a drink bottled at that.
Well then the kids saw the light up toys that spin, we had to get 2 so that was $40 there. Yeah I know. I was very surprised because last year they were only $14. They went up $6 dollars this year! Yikes!!!
We went this year knowing it would be several years before we would go again. The next time will be our last probably then we will take our grand kids!

Sweet says from the kids:
Daddy I am going to make you a heart because I love you! (Kyle)

Kiss me .... I love you (Layla)

Mommy you are the best cause I am going to the circus! (Kyle)




Oh, I almost forgot ..... after all of the above we had a birthday party to go to. Our friend Gage is 4 now!
We went to monkey joe's to celebrate!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Today in our house it was "HEART DAY". I had to go to work but before I went I was able to spend a little time with the kids. Steven and I gave them their Valentine's from us. Their baskets were filled with stuff from the dollar store which they loved. The real gift was a little card letting them know we were going to the Circus. Yes, in the morning we are going to the Phillips Arena to See the Ringling Brothers circus!!!!!
Kyle and Layla are so excited for the morning!!!! Kyle went last year and he loved it!! So I know he will like it even more this time. Layla has no idea and I am sure she will love it too!!!!


I received some beautiful flowers from Steven while I was at work!! Totally a surprise and I loved them!!!!

Steven received a King Cake from New Orleans!

And of course seeing our little ones happy at the circus in the morning is a great gift too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slow Obedience is ........

We have really been having a time with Kyle and his behavior. It is the talking back and telling us he is not going to do what we tell him.

Well, thank God for my Mom tell me something to try.

She told me when were visiting them the other week that a Kindergarten teacher at her work really uses obedience as her golden rule. Her saying is Slow Obedience is Disobedience. So I started trying. If I tell Kyle to pick up his and he doesn't start right then or says something back I have tell me what he is doing he says " Slow obedience is disobedience" So Kyle what are you suppose to do? Pick up my toys OK so that is what I want to see. It works!!! He cleans up his toys, puts his own clothes on all by himself. I only have to tell him once.



We also have been rewarding him with a movie rental bbonce a week for Best Behavior. The movie rentals are only .99 ea to rent.

We started a chart with very best behavior, best, good and bad behavior. That counts for treats to no treats.

and

I am so glad that both of these things are working!!!



Thank you mama!! I couldn't live with out you!!!!!

A prayer so sweet.

My heart is happy when I am laying down with Layla and I am almost asleep forgetting one very important thing and little hands grab mine and say mommy pray!

It makes my heart happy when I have the plates at the table and Kyle says mommy: When need to pray!

It makes my heart happy when I hurt myself and Layla says: Mommy I kiss it and pray for you.

It makes my heart happy when Kyle wants to pray for dinner and this is what he says: Dear Jesus thank you for today and for this food. Amen.

It makes my heart happy to see my children love Jesus so innocently. Wow thank you God for guiding me daily with my two miracles that you have trusted with me!
