I have to....

BRAG!!!

What a great day!!

First day of MDO was today.

Last year...

Today...

(notice how much taller he is, pic taken in same spot both years)

I talked it up like no other. We talked about how I was going to leave and come back later. We talked about all the fun things he was going to do and all his friends that were going to be there. Went over using the bathroom and telling the teacher when he needed to go. I was pretty confident!

Of course I was ready the night before

And the morning went great!

I asked him what he wanted to wear on his first day of school and he said "Cowboys!"

Sage and Colt ran in the room together and started playing right away! Colt has had some trouble being dropped off in the past, but he did GREAT! So proud of both of them!

No tears as we were leaving...

Sage didn't even say goodbye, too busy playing!

The teachers said he did a great job today! Did NOT have an accident once! She said he went to use the bathroom A ALOT all day long! HEHE! My fault but better than the alternative! They forgot to put a pull up on him while napping and he still didn't have an accident!

Of course, when I went to get him I was a little early and noticed that Sage, Colt, and Luke were not sleeping. Up playing. Happy though, so thats ok with me! They said he did sleep for a bit.

I am SO proud of him! What a big boy!!

Playing with his new toy for doing so well today!

Welcome Baby Lane!

Ryan, the kids, and I went to meet Lane McGraw today!

He is so tiny, and perfect in every way!

It is so fun to see Sage and Colt together. They are the best of friends. A little loud, but so cute!

the big kids!

And of course Avery just watches her brother the whole time. He loves to make her laugh!

boyfriend and girlfriend

Avery goes for younger boys...Lane goes for chunky girls (its cute when you're 5 months old!)

Fun at Cal-e-vie and Conroe

Ryan and I had an AMAZING time in California with my brother and Suzanne. Cal-e-vie was exactly what I needed. I have never been so sore in my life, but it was worth it! Work outs all morning starting with a 4 mile hike and ending the day with spa treatments. Two of my favorite things to do! It was nice having time without the kiddos. I think time away makes me a better mother and wife.

The greatest thing about having to leave the kids behind is knowing that they are having TONS of fun with Nana and Grandpa. Ryans Dad took off all week to entertain Sage and Avery with Jean. They had activities planned everyday and the kids never asked about us! (Is that bad?) Of course because of I phones we never went a day without seeing the kids or hearing them! We were to busy to take pictures at Cal-e-vie, but Jean sent us pictures of the kids everyday!

I can't thank Ryans parents, Jean and Dave, (Nana and Grandpa) enough for taking care of Sage and Avery this past week.

I am so blessed to have the BEST in-laws in the world!!! Love ya'll!
