Back-2-School

 It was a rainy day today, as we shipped the kids off to the first day of school! Corinne took full advantage and wore her adorable RAIN BOOTS (there's not much call for them here in the desert!)

 All THREE of the kids were really excited to go to school, Corinne is thrilled to have me all to herself all day and that I am her Preschool teacher! She is so jazzed and keeps telling me it's so fun to be with me!

 Colette is the worlds most adorable big sis. She insisted giving the kids goodbye/good luck kisses-- and she asked me to take pics!!! 

 This little 4th grader is TRUELY the most awesome! She's kind, sweet, hardworking and LOVES school. I'm so lucky to have her! 

 This kid couldn't hardly hold still for photos (and we were waiting for the bus, there was nothing else to do!!!!!) He is so happy to be a 1st grader and cant wait to go all day long to school. He's SUPER EXCITED to make new friends, see old friends, and do his work!

 The backpacks. Yep. Awesome ones this year!

 Saying bye to momma. 

 Coolest kids ever. 

 Growing up never looked so good. I'm such a lucky mom, I get to call these little ones mine!

Colette has Mr. Wojo, and Kallin has Mrs Sullivan. It's going to be a great year!

Corinne's Swim Party

It's true. She's 4 years old! She wanted to have a celebration of all things SWIMMING! So we did.

We made little fish cups and little fish marshmallows. 

There were goggles galore! 

Yes, We had a Pool Cake. Yes, that is Corinne in the Pool. 

(*Matching swimsuit, matching hair, and even brown eyes)

(*made by the incredible McKinna)

The party was FRIENDS, FUN and FOOD. All things wonderful and amazing. Everything this lil 4 year old wanted!

She was EXTRA excited to have her cake, and to blow the candles out! 

She listened intently as we all sang to her. 

Of course, presents were a hit. Everyone of the gifts got a big GASP and a huge smile!!!

What an incredible blessing this little one is. I cant begin to tell you how much fun she is to be around. Always making me giggle, and so helpful. She's learning so much, and is so happy! 

She makes me realize how wonderful life really is! 

As I watch her sing, dance, laugh & play I see her big personality! 

She says the funniest things, and is always smiling!
I love that she follows me everywhere... she'd rather be talking to me while I do chores, than play in her playroom. She loves her hair done, make up, dress up, shoes (heels or tappers especially) she love all things that are immensely GIRL. She's my little best buddy. (trip down memory lane... 

I love you Corinne, I can't believe how fast time has gone!!!
