Cayden's FIRST day of Pre-K!

Cayden started PRESCHOOL today...yep, I said it....my baby is growing up.

Last night Justyn & I were talking about the day we found out we were pregnant with Cayden.

I can still remember that feeling...

my whole body growing warm knowing I had LIFE inside of me.

It was like our little secret.

I think I called Justyn at work about 14 times that day, we were both THRILLED to be expecting our first baby.

I remember the day he was born, the smell of his fresh newness, the sweet curve of his lips and his sweet little grunts & groans.

I remember the first time he clapped his hands, and how exciting it was.

I remember when he started walking & talking and how much JOY he brought us, and how much laughter.

I want to look back on this FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL with JOY and LAUGHTER and remember his excitment for school.

ah....my little sappy trip down memory lane....

Now on to the details of today....

Growing up my mom always took our picture on our first day of school with our backpacks so I HAD to start the same tradition with my kids.

Here he is ready to go:

Then he said he wanted one standing NEXT TO his backpack....okay.

I wanted an outdoor picture too - so he posed by the front door for me.

And HE wanted one by the tree...I LOVE this pose.

I told him "okay, we have to go" and he said "mom, this is going to be AWESOME!!"

I choked on myself out of JOY for him & his excitement and a little sadness for me.

Realizing that my "baby" isn't such a baby anymore.

.......then I sucked it up & drove him to school

A quick snapshot outside of school.

And of course in front of the locker....

if felt good to see all the other mama's snapping pictures of their kids' first days. :)

(i'm not the only crazy one)

He even posed at his desk for me.

Cayden was permagrim the entire time!!

When he got home I had this surprise for him...

a giant cookie to celebrate his first day.

It says "Pre-K 9-7-10"

I think this will be another yearly tradition.

I'm so proud of my lil man! He did so great today & is so excited to go back!!

Sibling LOVE!

I'm way, way (like since JUNE) behind on my blogging.

So a few sibling love pictures will have to get you through until I get organized again!!! :)

We had received a set of Pootsie's as a baby gift and fell in LOVE! I contacted Dana to do a giveaway leading up to the grand opening of my Etsy store & she agreed. I of course fell in love with this set in the meantime so had to get the little missy another one!! Aren't they cute - the one that came with it is polka dots!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Prestyn!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our little man Prestyn!!

It's hard to believe 2 years have flown by already!

You bring so much joy & laughter into our home!

We love you!!

Here he is meeting his big brother for the first time .

(look how little Cayden was - only a few months older than Prestyn is right now)

Our 2nd Gift from God!

PLEASE...stop taking my pictures mom.
(this is the day we came home from the hospital)

I just had to post this one - it makes me LOL every time!!

And today we have a wild, rowdy little man. Prestyn has 0 fear, he loves to be in the spotlight - but then gets shy & sticks his tongue in his cheek to try not to smile.
