So I've been dreading this day for the last couple weeks!
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Daddy got the girls up, made them breakfast and got them dressed
while I got myself ready. I fixed Alison's hair with Cute curls in the back
and this whole time I'm holding back the tears!
Once we got to the school it was CRAZY!
We checked Alison in and she got a name tag and was told what teacher
she'll get for the first couple days. Then we had to wait around for about 20min.
for the rest of the kids to sign in. Then Emma starts!
When are we leaving?
It's hot out here, can we leave! (and need I remind you
Emma is loud). So I'm holding back tears watching Alison and how
big she is getting and trying to keep Emma quiet!
Oh how Fun this morning was!
So 3:00 finally comes around and it was hot outside so Ryan
was the only one that got out to pick her up. Once
she got into the car we asked her 100 questions and all
she remembers is coloring a jar red!
She said she had a fun day and she listened to the teacher and was a Good Girl!

The girls had fun picking out their clothes to wear.

Alison in line waiting for the Mr Rodriquez.

Fashion Show

Today we finished our "School" shopping. Alison starts Kindergarten a week from today and she is VERY excited. I'm not sure when Emma starts preschool but I know it's a couple weeks after Alison. The girls wanted to do a Fashion Show for us but after changing clothes 3 times they were done. So here's a couple pictures of our very own "Fashion Show" We even had "Hannah Montana" music in the background for their show walk

Take This Pledge With Me!

Please go to the website for all the information and to make your pledge!!!! We can make a difference. Scentsy gave their home office employees $100,000.00 to spend in the Boise/Meridian area in one day...comments from these small businesses were heartwarming...many saying they were on the verge of closing , but this helped them save their business. All we ask is that you also share with others...so we can make a difference all over the country!!!!

About a year ago while Alison was using the restroom at home
(her and Emma were actually playing in the bathroom)
Alison fell in the toilet.
It was a VERY dramatic incident and both the girls thought
the toilet was going to "Swallow" Alison.
Since then Alison will not go into a bathroom out in public where the toilets
flush by themselves. We'll cover the censer so it won't flush on her
and when ever she say's she needs to go to the restroom she'll ask if the toilet flushes by itself.
Yesterday we were out and she needed to use the restroom and
gave us the whole flushing question and I asked her
"When you go to Kindergarten in your "New" school
what if the toilets flush by themselves? What are you going to do"
Alison said
"Well in my Spanish School the toilets don't flush by themselves"

Monday Ryan took the girls to Alison's school to turn in her Imm. records and dental exam and while they were in the office a Kindergarten teacher was talking to a new kindergarten student. The teacher wrote the letter M
on a piece of paper and asked the child what letter is this.
She child wouldn't answer. The teacher asked if the child could bounce and the child said nothing. So the teacher went back to the letter
M and asked what letter is this and the child said nothing.
Emma looks at Ryan and as loud as can be
"Why isn't she just telling the teacher it's a letter M"!!!

When the teacher was done she came over to Ryan and the girls and asked
if Emma was coming into Kindergarten and Ryan said no
she's only 3 and she'll be coming in
next year. So Ryan had a Proud Parent Moment as all the girls were saying
"Oh My Goodness She's Smart!"

Today we took the girls to get a hair cut.
It was a Surprise to them because
they have gone off and on about getting a hair cut so I didn't
want to deal with the crying or whinning.
Once we got there they both got very shy and neither
of them wanted to go first. Alison was a big girl and went first
(thank goodness cause Emma was about ready to
cry because we tried to get her to go first)
So we told Lori what we wanted for Alison.

I really like this cut for her. Alison's hair is VERY Frizzy so this cut took all the frizz off and is even looks a little More curly.

While Alison was getting her hair cut Emma came up to me and said
(as loud as can be)
"Man why is she taking so long?"

Lori said since Emma's hair is so long she wanted Emma to stand while she cuts the back.
Well Emma did not like that.
The first thing she said was
"Is this going to take as long as Alison's hair cut
cause I don't want to stand that long!"
And remember, Emma is LOUD!
Oh when do they learn to keep their comments to themselves!

Before

After

One of the other girls that worked their fell in love with the girls.
She took Leah from Ryan and got some suckers for the girls.
Leah LOVED that sucker. I thought for sure she would
throw it on the floor like she
does everything else but this sucker was Glued to her hand!

Leah also got a hair cut from Mommy a couple days ago. I should have had Lori fix it but Leah had stinkers and had to get out the door cause she was stink'n up the place!

We celebrated Leah's Birthday today.
She had fun opening her present (with the help of her sisters)
and eating her cake. I recorded the whole Birthday song and Leah staring at
her candle but I have no idea how to upload videos.
(it always says I have an error)
So here's some pictures of my Sweet Leah.
Isn't she the cutest 1yr old?!

I keep forgetting to post these pictures. Alison has been
wanting a "Hannah Montana" wig for some
time now. She's been wearing it and she'll sing
all the Hannah songs in her room on her bed
(her stage). It's so cute.

Leah Grace Turns 1

I can't believe Leah is turning 1 today. It feels like yesterday the nurses
placed her in my arms for the first time. Leah you have been
a Blessing in our lives and we can't see our lives without you.
I love you Leah Grace!
