Bring it on

So my days of being in my twenties are almost over. Thirty is approaching and I have been thinking a lot about it lately. At first i was upset about turning thirty. I don't feel thirty, people tell me I don't look thirty, but there was something about the number that was freaking me out. I stopped to reflect on my twenties....so many wonderful things happened. I graduated college, i received my teaching credential, I got married, I taught kindergarten and fifth grade, Rob and I bought our first home, I had my two beautiful children, i traveled and many more fabulous things!! My twenties were good to me...i learned a lot, grew up, experienced many life lessons....so I've been thinking what am I so scared about???? I then made a decision, I'm not scared to turn thirty...I'm going to welcome it with open arms...I've heard many people say that your 30's has been amazing. I'm excited to watch my children grow and develop into little people, I'm excited about new career opportunities, I'm thrilled to travel more with my family and create new wonderful memories with my husband, and whatever else it brings. I feel lucky to have been blessed with so many things in my life and this birthday will just add to it!!!!!!!
So 30...BRING IT ON!!!!

When we came to pick them up the kids gave us a gift they made for mommy and daddy....i will cherish it forever!! Jack had so much fun coming home and looking through all his goodies! FUN!!!!

My Heart

This big boy makes me smile and laugh everyday! When he wakes up he always greets me with a kiss and is so enthusiastic to start the day! He is a burst of sunshine and always eager to learn. He is striving at school. On Tuesday night we were out to dinner, out of nowhere he started singing a song that he learned from his french teacher...he sang the whole song with hand movements. Rob and I looked at each other so proud of our boy!! He once was so shy but he has definitely burst out of his bubble and enjoys interacting with people. Every night when I put him to bed I lay with him and he loves to tell me stories. Before he falls asleep, I give him kisses and say "sweet dreams" he then follows with, "Mommy i love you a really lot"!!! He has such a creative imagination and his mind is always working. He has a warm heart and always looks out for his sister. He continues to tell me he wants a new baby, a boy and he wants him to be short!! I don't know about that! Hopefully i can convince him otherwise, at least for the time being!

She loves her...

CRIB!!! It took her awhile but now she loves to play in it, takes nap in it and sleep in it!!!

Tubby Time

Zoe has officially graduated from the sink and has joined her brother in the big tubby! The two of them are having so much fun playing together, slashing and trying to swim. Zoe is so adventurous. It makes my life easier too...so fun watching them grow up and becoming friends!!
