Kenna’s first day of Preschool

O my little Kenna bug is finally in school! She has waited to go to school for so long. She has watched me drop off and pick up her sisters for school for years and now it is her turn. She is such a cutie and she will make a little bit of sunshine in her class I am sure of it. I love this sweet girl and I am going to miss her noise that she makes when she is gone. She brings a lot of life to our house everyday. I am so glad that her school is only twice a week for a half a day, that makes it easier on me. And I love that she goes in the morning so when she comes home she can take a much needed nap. The first day of school was so exciting for her and she has a cute little friend Emry in her class and her cousin Taya so that will be so much fun for her. Her teacher’s name is Mrs. Keyes but her Preschool is called Robins Nest, so Kenna calls her Miss Robins and I don’t think there will be any convincing that Miss Robins is not her name!!! I love you sweet little girl of mine!!

We had to get some picture of all three of them!! They are a sassy bunch of girls when they are all together!!

I got the sunshine right on Kenna’s face… but this is Kenna and her friend Emry. I love the windows in her preschool it brings some nice light into the classroom.

These two girls are two of a kind!! They will have so much fun together this year.

Maddy and Kynzee’s 1st day of school

I just cannot believe that school has started!! I have some pretty raw feelings about school starting. I feel like as a Mother it is my job to take care of my kids and raise them, and I feel like when they go back to school the teacher gets to see them more than I do on those days and I don’t like it. I know, I know I better just get use to it, I don’t think I ever will though. It was sad for me to see them go, I really enjoyed having them home during the summer and I will miss them dearly on the days they have school.  Maddy and Kynzee are the sweetest little girls, they really are. I have no worries that they wont have friends or make new friends or be good friends to other people. I am excited about that part of school and I know they are too. They both have their own style this year and they knew what they wanted to wear on the first day and it was so fun to watch them lay their clothes out and talk to each other about what they were going to wear. I love how close these two are! Their Daddy gave them all a Father’s Blessing before school started and I was so grateful that he offered to do that for them and he gave them each a beautiful blessing. I am grateful that his Dad did that for them when they were younger so he could follow in his footsteps and do the same for our children. Maddy started the 2nd grade and Kynzee started the 1st grade this year, it sounds crazy to me, it is so true that they grow up fast!!!

Lagoon!!!!

We went to lagoon the weekend before school started for one last big party before the kids have to sit in a classroom all day. We had so much fun. I enjoyed listening to the kids laugh and scream and have a blast. Literally smiles on their faces the whole time we were there. Lagoon really is one of their very favorite places to go every summer. It was a perfect weekend to go and we made memories we will have forever. Maddy and Kynzee spent most of their time with Daddy on all the big rides because they are now both tall enough to ride them. So fun for them and their Daddy to play together, I love it. Josh is like a big kid at Lagoon I love to watch him have so much fun with the kids. Kenna and Jaxon spent there time riding all the fun little people rides and Kenna was running from ride to ride and asking “can I ride it again?” over and over all day. I loved to watch this little ball of fire have so much fun. Jaxon…well he did a lot of crying and pouting. Mainly because he thought he needed to take his blanky and his binky on every ride and most of them I made him leave it in the stroller. We played at Laguna beach for a couple hours and it felt so nice to get in the water and swim, the kids loved it. What a fun way to spend our time together!!! I love it!!!

 

First of all I took my little camera, that doesn’t always take the best pictures, but I didn’t want to get my other one stolen or broken…so sorry for some blurry pictures.

I am not sure why poor Kynzee has her eyes closed in some of my pictures, I guess she takes after her mom.

Look how tiny Kenna looks on this ride, but this was her favorite “The Bat”

 

Maddy was the only one brave enough to go down the black tube!!

Going into the haunted house!!

Pure excitement!!

Jaxon even liked the haunted house as long as he had his binky!

Jaxon loved the bumper cars!!

Jaxon was waiting in line with his Daddy and he spotted me in the crowd and he was going crazy waving at me, I loved it!

Kenna on the flying bee, so fun!!

Jaxon riding the dragon roller coaster, I cannot believe he actually got on this one, but he just held on really tight and had fun.

The famous welcome to Lagoon sign

I didn’t get any pictures of swimming, but it was so fun and it wore Jaxon out. I got him dressed after swimming and I had just barely laid him down and he was asleep.

I love this ride!!! I was sad that Jaxon slept through it because he would have loved it too, but the girls enjoyed it and next year Maddy will be too tall to ride it, so I was glad she had one more year on  these cute little whales.

Carousels are so much fun, even I love to ride them.

This ride was new last year and the girls remembered it and they couldn’t wait to ride it again. I love how Kenna put her hands in the air!!

The girls love this ride because the dolphins spray them with water.

Jaxon looks so cute and little here.

Mommy and Kenna trying to take a picture of ourselves on the ride.

Our favorite treat at Lagoon are these yummy ice cream dots!!

We got to watch these fun people perform one of their shows and the girls loved it!! I loved the cowboys ;) They all had beautiful voices. I got in trouble for taking this picture, but hey I at least got one picture of the cowboys.

Kynzee was so nice to ride the boats with Jaxon so he wouldn’t be scared, but he still cried through the whole boat ride.

I have to say this was the one ride Jaxon did not cry or pout on, he liked the cars.

Jaxon pouting on the airplanes!!! I love watching these airplanes, Kenna loved them to, Jaxon just wanted his binky!!! But once they started flying in the air Jaxon liked it!!

Look at that face…sad boy!!

Kenna’s not so nice side!!!

Kenna was so sweet to Jaxon all day. I love how kind and gentle my girls are to Jaxon, they love him so much.

Not so happy on the carousel ride. He didn’t pout for very long until he realized he liked the ride.

Cute kids having fun!!

Jaxon wouldn’t stand in front of this cute shoe, so here are the girls. We get a picture in front of this shoe every year so I am sad that Jaxon is not in it.

The train ride!!!

These swings are so fun especially at night when you can see all the lights at the park.

Josh and the girls played some games and won this big dog.

Swimming at the hotel…..so fun!

This little boy makes me laugh so hard sometimes.

I love how Josh wraps the towels around the kids just like he wraps his. Jaxon did not want to hold his hand!!
