Matthew's 3rd Birthday Party

He is not 3 yet (Sept 9th is his actual birthday), but due to some family matters - we had his party 2 weeks early!  What fun it was and he had a blast!  He had a firetruck themed party at a local   gymnastics place!  We had lots of kids there too - 18 I believe so it was fun fun fun!  Papa and Nana Akins were able to come in to town to along with Uncle Steve!  The boys had such a good time with Uncle Steve.....too bad their cousins couldn't have been here too!

My friend Amy decorated Matthew's cake and "fire" cupcakes!

 He's excited!

 Shelby liked Uncle Steve too!

 Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

Piggies

Somebody found her piggies! How exciting! :)

First Day

of Kindergarten!  sniff sniff!  

I did okay!  I won't lie and say I didn't cry- I actually boo hooed while feeding Shelby last night.  Then cried this morning to David and said I felt like I was dropping him off to the Army or something!  lol  

And of course I had to wake him up (he hasn't had to be woken up ever in his 5 little years, but today he had to).  I crawled in bed with him and told him it was his first day of school - he said "I just want to sleep a little longer".  But he woke and I told him how I wasn't going to let him go.  He quickly said "but mommy I am going to learn all new stuff and be as smart as you".  So I told him how proud I was of him and if mommy cried it wasn't because I was sad but bc I was happy for him, but would really miss him.  

He got ready and we met his teacher outside and he was so brave and happy!  I know he is having a great time right now while mamma is having a pity party!

I mean shouldn't he be like this still??

Okay I guess not....

3 months

Can time slow down?

Happy Birthday

to our Bailey girl!
