First Day of Kindergarten

OK....It is finally here....I am not ready for this! The first day of kindergarten!!! Tate woke up this morning at 6:50 she was so excited. Mommy and Daddy were actually awoken with a phone call at 5:00 this morning telling us Shelly was having the baby!!! What a HUGE day for everyone. Caleb Thomas Ullrich was born at 7:05 weighing in at 6 lbs 3 oz. Baby and momma are doing GREAT! Praise God for this new blessing!

Back to the school story! We took out and Jake had to go with us (he is feeling a little left out). She was so excited!! We waited in the cafeteria for the bell to ring and off she took. I was trying to hold her hand and she quickly told me she could do this by herself! OUCH!!! She then went in the, put her backpack in the closet and went to her table. She began her morning activity and was ready for us to leave. I on the other hand kept taking pictures and Michael had to practically drag me away! I was crying all the way back to the car!

I can not wait to pick her up and here all about her day!

The Wedding At Last

There are going to be a TON of pictures in this blog so be forwarned! This is the wedding I have been on Weight Watchers for nearly 4 months to help me lose the baby weight. I fit in the dress and could actually breathe thanks to Spanx holding in EVERYTHING! I had a blast spending this time with Dana. For those that do not know Dana is liek my little sister. She was actually a student of mine a LONG time ago. WE had a love/hate relationship at first but formed a true sisterly bond at the end. I love her dearly and was so proud of her! I was honored to be her Matron of Honor and get to love on her this past weekend! I also adore her new husband Jason and they are so blessed to have eachother.

She was a BEAUTIFUL bride! Jason was beaming as she walked down the aisle and I was just praying we all didn't pass out it was SO HOT in the church. The church pic's are a little dark because it was a very old church and it was at night. I am glad to be able to eat again!!! The food at the reception was incredible. Usually wedding buffet food is OK this was AWESOME!!!! So, it is done and she is on her way to Hawaii to relax for a week (so jealous). But, she deserves it she was so nervous!

A Sunday Relaxing

Today Michael replaced the filters in the attic with the help of two munchkins! Jake took his hammer and drill to help out and Tate was moral support. Jake threw the biggest fit when they had to come down. It was only about 105 degrees in the attic. They were all sweating so bad when they finally came down. Jake does not care how hot it is he will stay outside or the atic in this case. My true blue collared worker!!

Caden moved to his high chair today! Such a big boy!!

Meet the Teacher

Tate went on Friday to meet her teacher Mrs. Marek! She followed the teacher around telling her her life story and asking a billion questions. I am sure you are all shocked by that.. I did finally convince her to let us taker her the first day and we can take bus pictures on Tuesday!

Fun Times

Summer is coming to an end and we are all tired! Every morning Jake gets in bed with Caden and I was worried about him breaking the bed but Caden LOVES it so, oh well!!!!

Caden is 7 months old and not quite sitting by himself but he is so close! Caden loves to grab Maci and Maci loves to lick Caden.

Jakey Boy and Caden are on daily breathing treatments FUN! Caden takes it so easy Jake throws such a fit. He asks constantly if he is done!! He is almost done with them but poor Caden is on them for awhile!

Poolside

Last weekend we spent time at our neighbor's pool. This was Caden's second time in the water and he LOVED it. He kept putting his face in. A dare devil like his sissy! Ms. Ali gave Jake a HUGE bucket of little buggies to play with and he was happy to play with them the entire time!

The night time picture is of Talyee girl learning to rider her bike!! She is so close to being able to do it on her own!!! Growing Up!
