Kindergarten registration

I registered Gracie for kindergarten today. She still has two shots to get. she is not thrilled about that. I can hardly believe that she will be going to school. I don't think it will really sink in till the first day of school. My last baby going off into the big world. Gracie is really excited. she made me count "how many sleep's" it was til the first day of school. there are roughly 150 sleeps until school starts. that is a long time for a 5 year old to wait. she doesn't understand why she just can't go now like Zoe does. It will be so weird to have all my kids in school. I am looking forward to it, but am sad at the same time.

It also makes me feel old.

Anyone want a Kitten??

Mama Cat had her babies Wednesday February 27th. They are under my bed. 2 more weeks and you can come over and hold them. right now we can only look at them.

My new kitchen and half bath

MEET ZOE AND GRACIE

I am posting about Zoe and Gracie together because they should have been twins. Zoe is 6 and attends kindergarten. Gracie is 5 and will attend kindergarten this fall. Zoe was 9 months old when we found out that Gracie would be joining us. when Gracie got here Zoe didn't like it at first and smacked her on the head. after that they didn't do anything apart. they were known as the babies; until recently when they informed me that they were not babies anymore. Now they are the sisters or the big girls. Zoe has been so sweet to share her baby years with Gracie. They had a really hard time being apart when Zoe started school. again Zoe is the best big sister ever. as soon as she gets home from school she shows Gracie everything she did. She even gave Gracie all the paper sack puppets she made in school "to keep".

MEET KAYLEE

Kaylee is the goof ball of the family; but you would never know it. one day i was looking through the pictures saved on my camera and found a bunch of pictures she took. the pictures were of her and her sisters goofing off. I will post some so you know what I am talking about. she turned 9 this year. she is a 3rd grader and loves to go to school. she is also a straight A student. she is a good friend to everyone. she loves her sisters and her pets

She loves art and draws and paints all the time. She hates gym class, and loves to hang out with all her girl friends.

MEET EMILY

Emily is turning 14 this month. She is a Jr High Student. She is The best teenager-so far. She has been working on getting good grades lately. she set a goal and has done very well; all A's and B's. She wants to do everything RIGHT NOW, I have to tell her to slow down.

MEET THE PARENTS

Chris and I met on a blind date and married about 3months later. I know right? We will be married for our 15th year in June. Chris and I had so much fun dating that we never left each others sight; unless to go to work or school. I was at his house so much that his landlord worte him a letter about me staying there too much. when he read me the letter I said that we shoud just get married. well 12 hours later and a trip to vegas we tied the knot. well I wont lie and say its been a rose garden the whole time. we have had our ups and downs, but have grown together. we are so glad that we have stayed together, because we have accomplished a lot and it has been worth the work.

Chris works hard for our family welding, and is a great father to our five girls. I am a mother and CNA working on becomming a RN. We have a full house. Five kids all girls. We also have 2 dogs 2 cats and a very loud bird.
