School time!!!

Yay!!! School is back in session!! We have been counting down the days, Isabelle got to start Kindergarten and Caleb was soooo ready to get back to his routine. We loved summer, but we definitely hit that point about 2 weeks ago where we were DONE!!! I'm so glad it's just a 2 month summer break, not the 3 month one I had growing up. :)

My handsome Caleb!

He's so big!

Watch out second grade, here he comes!!

My pretty, pretty Belle

Love this girl! Her hair is slowly growing out. She said that she doesn't want to cut her hair again until high school, so it can be like "Tangled" hair. Thank goodness!!

Don't they look so nice!

I LOVE my kids and I LOVE this picture!!

Walking into the kindergarten area

Got her nametag and ready to go!

Rory's striking a pose. She was happy to be there, really. :)

Looking at a picture of herself on Daddy's camera.

Such a big girl already!

Isabelle saying hi to her new teacher, Mrs. Ruiz (the woman in the black pants).

Bye Belle!!! Have a good day!!

Time to take Mr. Stud to his class!

All lined up and ready to go!

We are soooo excited for this upcoming year!!

Rory vs. The Marshmallow

Jared decided that giving Rory a marshmallow would be a GREAT way to keep her occupied so we could eat dinner together. One thing. Not a mini, not a jumbo, but a HUGE roaster marshmallow. Have you seen them at Walmart? Cause yeah, they're humongous. Well, we ate dinner together. And Rory was in HEAVEN!!! Want to see the proof?

That is the remnant of the marshmallow down in the last picture. That is how big it is AFTER she attacked it for a good 15 minutes. Needless to say, she went straight into the shower. But she sure was a happy girl!

Yep, it's that time!

It was that time! I have been tossing back and forth for the last month or so and I finally decided last Saturday that I was done! Done with my hair! So I called, got an appointment, and off we went to get it chopped!

15 inches of my hair is on it's way to Locks of Love. :)

Summer so far...

We've been busy!!! Swim lessons every day, summer movie festival, and my sister and her family brought their jet ski out to Lake Perris.

Isabelle went out with Aunt Tawny. She was a little daredevil and wanted to help steer. She loved going fast and had the best time!

I took Caleb out and he was not so into it. Very unsure in the beginning and was done after one loop around the lake. He had more fun just playing in the water on the beach.

Rory hung out under the pop-up in the shade and looked cute. :)

End of school 2011

Another school year is done!

Isabelle graduated from preschool and is super excited to join Caleb at La Jolla next year!

And Caleb finished the year with straight A's all year!!! He did amazing this year!

A Moment of Silence, please...

Yes, a moment of silence please, because I am in mourning...this wonderful, feisty, beautiful little girl decided that she wanted to give herself a haircut..

Which resulted in this...

Sigh. Tears. Sadness. Especially when I had her go look in the mirror. She was so proud of herself, until she saw what she had actually done. Oh well, it taught her a good lesson and she won't be cutting her hair herself again (I hope). So off we went to get it fixed...

By now we had talked about how short her hair was going to be and she was quite excited. See, Isabelle LOVES America's Next Top Model, and has wanted a short cut like Tyra gives the girls with "special" faces. So, she was going to get a Top Model cut. Well, let me tell you, I had to fight for that one. The stylist was talking about page boy and bowl cuts. I don't think so! Finally got him to see things my way and the clipping began.

Still not quite right, but the stylist was awful, I'll take her somewhere else to get it fixed again in a couple weeks when it starts to grow out.

It will grow, right?
