Our little ballerina

We put Aliyah in a ballet/jazz class and she is starting to love it. Notice that I said, "starting". I think it's the fact that it's a morning class, and we all know my kids aren't morning people. :) It still takes the first 15 minutes of class for her shyness to fade, but any little girl would snap out of being shy when pink butterfly wings and fairy wands are involved. I need to take a video camera one of these days...it is SO cute. And her leg warmers definitely add to the cuteness. :)

Kohen can count to 6

The kids get a kick out of this picture. I didn't even realize he was doing it. I just found the picture and started laughing. The kids ran over to see what picture I was laughing at, and I told them Kohen was counting to 6. They giggle every time I show them this picture.

First day of school!!

He is officially a Kindergartner. And yes, I really did let him wear a star wars shirt on his first day :). I was one of those parents who followed him in his classroom and snuck a picture of him sitting at his desk. For those of you that can't tell, that is totally his nervous smile. So cute!

Two come out...two come in

I forgot to mention that the same exact week Kael lost his first two teeth, Kohen GOT his first two teeth. So fun! I tried to get a picture of them together, but babies are not cooperative when it comes to showing their two bottom teeth. I randomly noticed his teeth showing in this picture, so this will have to do.

Many Milestones to Mention

In just a few short weeks, he lost his first tooth (the second one was punched out by a cousin :)), celebrated his SIXTH birthday, and in less than a week, he will officially be in Kindergarten. Man how time flies. We celebrated his birthday a little Star Wars style. Jedi robes and an appearance by darth vader was the highlight of the party. Besides needing some advil after the party, I can't resist going over the top for my kids' birthdays. It's all worth seeing how happy it makes them. Happy Birthday Kael!!

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary...

Meet our surprise zucchini that grew by the foot in the middle of the night! I also had to take a picture of the lettuce because it was so pretty. Yes, I just called lettuce pretty. It made a yummy summer salad too.
