Steph and Sydney's Visit

We had a lot of fun with the Steph and Sydney while they were with us here in Las Vegas. Nate always likes a friend and Miley thought Sydney was pretty neat.

Here is Miley eating her first Twizzler all by her self, using her new teeth. And then there's Nate acting goofy in the garage before I took him to school.

Nate took this picture, and no that is not a diet coke in my hand at 8:40am. Lol

Here is Nate at School with his girlfriends...Mandy, Evy, and Micky...he loves these girls. They are so fun to be around.

Well after we dropped Nate off at School we went back to the Disney store and The Children's Place in the mall. Miley tried on some more Halloween outfits at The Children's Place that were so cute and such a good price.
Here she is in the witch, and a lady bug costumes.

And then the lady bug and the fairy costume. Which do you like the best?

At the Disney store I also put her in the Alice in wonderland dress, which with her blue eyes was so supper cute. She is such a cutie!

We also hung out in the play area for a little bit. There was some ruff and crazy boys there so I didn't get to sit and rest like the other moms, since Miley kept being pushed, squished or ran over by them. I even had one little boy that followed me around, wanting to see every picture I took, which was fine, till he pinched me in the lower butt area...that was a little weird.

The girls had fun, and so did Steph and I. That night Jared, Steph, and I played Phase 10, in which Steph kicked our butts....but we all had fun. The night before we watched Bill Cosby Himself. If you've never seen it, YOU NEED TOO.

Nate's First day of School!

Nate went to his first day of Kindergarten today. Last night he picked what he wanted to wear today, and we laid it out, so he could dress himself when he got up. At 6:05 am he came into our room, dressed and really excited to go to school. I got him to snuggle with me for a little while before I was told I needed to get up and ready to take him to school.

We all got dressed and Dad said goodbye after he said a wonderful prayer for Nate. Nate gave his dad a great big hug, and told him to have a good day with his workers...lol.

We went down and got breakfast for the kids. Nate said a cute prayer for the food, he also payed that he would make friends, that his teacher would teach him good stuff, and that he would have a good day.

At 8:35 we gathered the kids, and Steph, and got in the car to fight traffic going to the 2 elementary schools that are back to back with each other.

Steph stayed in the car with Miley and Sydney, and I got to see my boy off to Kindergarten. I did get a little emotional, but I didn't let it go. It was just so cool to see him so happy, excited, and ready to go.

We waited in the play area with our kids....this being the only day that we could come into the play area...

and then when the bell rang we took our kids over to the stars with their room number on them, and they explained what time we could pick up our little ones. Nate was holding his hands over his eyes like glasses because it was so bright. He was so excited.

We got to come into the class room with them and we got a gift from the teacher. It was a paper bag with a cotton ball, a tissue, and some tea. It was all to help comfort us parents.

Then we said goodbye and left feeling many different emotions.

Well we decided as the girls to go down to the mall and have fun as just girls.

We hung out at the Disney store for quite a long time....and had to much fun.

See we played dress up, I got some great deals for Christmas stuff for the kids, and we had so much fun that we lost track of time. Luckily I did look at my watch just in time to see we needed to leave so we wouldn't be late to pick up Nate.

When we got to the school he was one of the last like 10 kids still waiting for his mommy, oops. But he was so happy and told me he had a great time at school. He got to work on his numbers, the got a tour of the the school and got to see the library and where the nurse is, he got to play outside, and he got to even hang up his backpack, at least that what he told me when I asked what he had done today. He said he can't wait to go again tomorrow. So day one was a success. Yay! We are so Happy!

Meet and Greet Nate's Teacher

Today we got to go to the schools open house and Meet and Greet Nate's Kindergarten Teacher, Miss Pregrande.

She is new this year so I am hoping she will have lots of energy and ambition, Nate is a hand full at times. While we were at the school we saw several other kids from church, that will be in his class, which made me happy, and I'm sure he'll like it too. He also saw the Caceres's there, all of Nate's girlfriends, almost.

He is so cute with them. They are just the funnest, cuties girls and family.

So Monday will be Nate's first day of School...I'm so excited, a little nervous, but mostly really happy for him. What a big step in his life and ours!

Our last 2 Cooking Class

In cooking class last week we went over to Heather Bell's house. She taught the kids how to make monkey bread, and some smoothies. It was all really good and the kids had a great time. Miley loved being able to climb the chair, my little monkey.

Here is Evey, Nate, Hailey, Micky, Mandy, and Spencer. Ang wasn't able to come.

Here are the kids enjoying there smoothies, while the bread cooked.

Then today at cooking class, which was are last class :( Bernetta went all out and had chef hats and aprons for the kids, she had books so they could take the recipes and pictures of the kids and make a cookbook. We make suckers, then the kids put their books together, then we made shis-kabobs for dinner.

Nate wasn't much help, he wanted to play more than anything today, so I made our bobs, and did his cooking book and he played. Oh well, I had a great time.

Then since Ang didn't show up, we tried to take her stuff to her house, but no one was home. So I need a picture of Ang to photo shop into this picture.

Here is Nate once we were home in his chef hat, and apron with our bobs, and then some pictures of his cute cookbook too. We'll miss the fun times in cooking class. We are sure glad that we got to do this with such great kids and their amazing moms. Thank You All.

Here is Nate working on his numbers, he works on his letters, numbers, or cutting, shapes, and other things everyday. He is doing such a good job. I can't believe he will be starting school on Monday.
