"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Red Rock Lake

A few weeks ago we went boating at Red Rock with some of our family and friends.  It was so nice to have Grandpa and Grandma stay at the campground with Rylan so that we could be a little more relaxed out on the water and not have to keep a constant eye on the wild man!  Boating is always a good time but even better with the fam up and another boat!  The Huber's even made the trip to the lake and they are always fun to hang out with too!  So thankful to have such great family and friends to make such great memories with!

Kayla's 1st Day of Preschool

Well, the day I've been dreading came and went and everyone survived!  Today was Kayla's first day of preschool.  She has been asking for a long time when she gets to start school so I was hoping that was a good sign.  She didn't act nervous at all today and was excited to get ready to go.  I have been more emotional than her.  I can't believe how fast 4 1/2 years have gone by.  I feel like it was just yesterday I was carrying around my sweet baby girl.  She is growing up way too fast for this mama.  I wish I could keep my kids little forever and protect them but I know the time comes when they have to start figuring out life for themselves.  Kayla did SOOO good today.  She didn't shed one tear!  She stood there waiting for them to open the doors all brave and full of excitement.  We took her in and helped her get settled in and gave her hugs and kisses and she had a smile on her face when we left.  I'm so glad because I wasn't sure I could hold myself together if she would have cried and wanted me to stay.  When I picked her up she told me all about her day and was so happy.  We couldn't be more proud of her!  She is one very loved little girl and I know she will do so good in school!  Good luck baby girl, we love you!
 





Kayla's name tag we made together for her backpack.





Rylan wanted to stay at preschool too! But KJ made sure to give him 2 kisses before he left.  She is such a sweet big sister.

Swing Set

Finally something to play on!  After a long 20+ hours, my dad and Scott got this beast put together and the kids couldn't be more excited!  The daycare kids and neighborhood kids love it too.  So far we have only had one person knocked out from the swing (Rylan) and one bloody nose.  So yeah, doing good ;-)  A BIG thank you to Grandma for making sure the kids got something to play on and to Grandpa and Daddy for spending their weekend putting it together for them!  They are going to have such great memories when they get older!

Cousins and the ZoO...and Grandmas ToO

The day after the Taylor Swift concert we all headed for the zoo before everyone had to head back home.  I think the kids got to see and do just about everything at the zoo that day.  It was another fun day with the fam for sure!
