Week 34

She always has this one little blonde curl that sticks straight up on her head. I love it!

Sidewalk chalk fun!

Week 33

First Day of FIRST GRADE!

This is her first year going to school full days! It's so different not having her home at least some of the day. I really miss her! I was so excited to pick her up the first day and to hear all about her day. She gave me the play by play (I love that about her!) and I heard about everyone's lunch boxes and that her's is the coolest one. She was also very excited over having three recesses, ha! She had a great first day and I know she's going to have a wonderful year. I just wish time would slow down a bit.

After we dropped her off the rest of us went straight to the pool! It was a super hot day and I knew the pool would be dead. I was right!

It's FOOTBAL SEASON!! By now I'm sure you already know that I am a die-hard Broncos fan. I couldn't wait to get this jersey onesie on my baby girl for their first pre-season game!

I bought these blank books in the $1 section at Target for Paxton. He LOVES drawing and creating stories so I thought this would be a fun activity to do together. He loved it!

Paxton's first day of PRE-K! He didn't even say bye to me. He just ran up to his friends to play and never looked back. I cried on the drive home thinking of my boy and how shy he used to be and how preschool last year really broke him out of his shell. I know he'll have a great year! =)

Week 32

I cannot believe this is the last week of summer. This summer has been the fastest yet. I'm having some mommy guilt that we didn't do as much as we usually do, but I guess I did just have a baby, right?

School supply shopping was stressful. There were some very specific items on her list this year and we were having a hard time finding them. In fact, most parents ended up having to order certain things from Amazon. When did school supplies become so complicated? Oh well…we made it through…

This is the cute outfit that Alexis picked out last week to wear on the first day of school. She asked me to take pictures of her wearing it. I was so excited!

My Brexlyn Grace is 2 MONTHS OLD! This past month has gone fast! Really fast. I hope time can slow down a bit, I'm enjoying this baby stage so much!

Week 31

Cory and I wanted to have special one-on-one time with each kiddo this week. I know adding a baby, a baby that takes up so much of our time and attention lately has been hard on them. Cory took 2 days off work to make it happen! I love that man!

First up was Paxton and I. He chose to go to Chuck E. Cheese. He wanted to play games, eat a cheese pizza and drink lemonade. ha!

He was so happy and we had a lot of fun together. I loved having this time with my boy.

Later that afternoon Cory and Alexis had their time at the swimming pool! He did send me a picture with his cell phone, but I can't find the cord to get it uploaded to my computer. =(

The next day Alexis and I went and got pedicures and then went shopping at Crazy 8 to get a new "first day of school" outfit. She picked out a super cute one! The fact that this is what she wanted to do really made me realize that my girl is growing up. I enjoyed our girl time.

Later that day Cory and Paxton went and played put-put golf!

One evening the photography bug bit me, so I rounded up my family and headed into our master bedroom and took these photos. I love when inspiration strikes!
