First Day of School!

The day before school started we took Rosie out for ice cream (just Dave and I) to let her know how special she is too us, how much we love her, and how proud and happy we are that she will be going to school. Dave also gave her a blessing, which he will do each year before school starts, and blessed her that she would learn a lot and love school and learn independence from myself and Dave. I also read her a book called "The Kissing Hand" which is about a raccoon going to school for the first time. The book is so cute and made me cry! I thought about Rosie being there without Dave or I and I worried that she would miss us. I know I sure missed her!

Well.... Rosie is now a "big girl" and already gone to two days of school. She was very excited when she saw her classroom for the first time and she didn't cry at all when we dropped her off. She stood in line with all her classmates and followed her teacher into the school. She told me that she really likes school and she loved ridding the tricycle in the play area. She was a little upset at school when they had to move away from the art portion of class, which I actually think is a positive thing. I'm glad she can focus on her task and that she's excited about art and completing her project to completion. She also got upset when she had to leave her placemat in the classroom. Rosie and I picked out a cute picture and wrote her name on it (had it laminated) and her placemat is very special to her. I guess she didn't understand that her placemat would be there everyday when she came to school. Any way, it doesn't matter because I asked her teacher if she could take it home with her every day. Here's a picture of my darling Rosie on her first day of school, with the hairband that I made her to match her uniform. (and a few cute pictures of Joseph and Michael)

5 Years!

Today is my anniversary! I seriously can't believe it's been 5 years already. So much has happened in the past 5 years, most significantly, the birth of our three children. It's sometimes crazy to think that 5 years ago we weren't even talking about having children, and now we have THREE! They are amazing and such a blessing, and I know I couldn't do it without the help of my wonderful husband. The children adore him (as do I)!

To celebrate we went to the Olive Garden in Bufflao, after we dropped Mike, Katie and Baby David off at the airport (they had been visiting from Utah for the past 2 months). Tomorrow, my parents are taking us and my brother and sister-in-law (they have the same anniversary) out for all you can eat sushi and Thai food!!!

Any way, I love you Dave and I look forward to many more anniversaries! Happy Anniversary!

Michael Can....

Today Michael learned how to roll over! He was on his tummy and rolled onto his back. He did it about 5 times today :) I wish I had it on film, but I couldn't find the camera this morning. I finally found it in my diaper bag buried under a million things. If I remember, I'll take a quick video of it. My little guy is growing so fast!

This is Michael on his blessing day. Look at those blue eyes! I wonder if they'll stay blue.

My Kids Said....

Lately the kids have been saying some pretty funny stuff (mostly Rosie). Before I forget, here's what they've been saying.

Rosie (as she watches Joseph get his diaper changed) "Eeewww that's be-gusting Joseph. I can't get married to you if you have a poo poo bum. I hate that."

Rosie (after coming home from a wedding) "I need to take off these fashion clothes and put on play clothes."

Rosie (someone was at the door) "Someone is here. I think it's Heavenly Father."

Joseph (after getting in trouble for opening my door while Michael was sleeping and pushing the siren on his firetruck, waking Michael.) "I do nothing Mommy, I do nothing." (obviously trying not to be sent to time out)
Joseph eating his favorite food, rice cakes.
Snow White and Joseph (with his baby) watching a show in my room.

Two More Videos!

Here's 2 of the newest videos. The first is Joseph blaming his poop on everyone else and the second is Michael (around 4 weeks old). Enjoy!
