Mia's preschool and Kellan is 5 months old!

 Mia had her little preschool graduation celebration last week.

She was even picked to point to each letter of the alphabet as the 

teacher and do each sounds to the kids- it was a little scary because she reminded

me ALOT of myself teaching  :) 

 Besides her babysitter, this is the most important person on the planet 

to Mia - Miss Kelli words can't describe how much she loves her...

We got her a pedicure gift card and  a towel/flip flops and fun magazines

along with a card that said "We Toe-tally appreciated you this year!" It was fun..

 Can't believe she will be a kindergartner next year

and be with me at school. She has waited for years for this and 

is already telling me what she would like in her lunches..

 Anyway they got to sing songs and decorate Seahorse cookies 

since they were the Seahorses.. I have really enjoyed this school and Mia

has learned a ton. Kellan will most likely go there too...

They have awesome creatures like these adorable ducks they

watched hatch and they even have sharks pretty cool.. 

 funny story: this is Mia's best friend ( AKA Rick's ex girlfriend's daughter)

yes not kidding and a pretty serious one I might add. Been very eventful this 

year when we realized they were in the same class and then became best friends.

At the graduation, she says "Mom doesn't Makenna's mom always look so beautiful." 

like a dagger in my chest just kidding I so don't care Mia thinks everyone is beautiful and

she missed out on Rick so I'm lucky she did... I just think it's such a small world and

it cracks me up. I told him I never thought I would talk about his ex girlfriend more in my

entire life. And they want to go eachother's houses,,, don't know about that one. haha

 When a teacher tells you how amazing your child is how smart and how high

her vocabulary is ... it feels good and she seriously came out like that. 

Her teacher says she's just a breath of fresh air. I love that...

 on to Kellan :) 

 after church....

 can we stand the cuteness??

 5 months : stats very chubby not sure but

about 16 lbs and eats like a man.. rolling over,

really wants to sit up, once he's rolled over, he can't figure out how to

go back and this is usually in the middle of the night which does not make his

parents happy. Still not sleeping through the night and Rick wants to do baby boot camp

the problem is that he doesn't just wake up for fun, he downs 8 oz every 4 hours and eats tons of food and 

bottle during the day. He's an endless pit.

 Mia is constantly asking, was I a better baby did I sleep better, cry less,

etc. I say yes you were. She wants credit haha..

 I love this because you can see his concentration on rolling over

 Now lets work on rolling back :) 

 sneak preview of Mia's dance performance coming up this

Saturday at the Smith's center...Dancing to Little Mermaid..

More 4 month pics..

My parents unfortunately had to sell their Idaho house. It was a sad 

decision but it needed to happen. Mia has been there since she was 3 months old

and when I tell you this kid has the BEST memory of anyone I know, she remembers

every detail of her entire life literally so it was a difficult time for her but she took a lot of pictures 

to remember everything..

my dad thinking...

anyway Mia had a great time with her dad fishing,

sight seeing, swimming in the indoor pool, it was a great weekend..

Mia LOVES her babysitter, we have had the BEST luck

with sitters these last few years and Mia grows super attached

to them ( her picture of Kirstin is still in her bed) Kinzy this year

is amazing, she is super creative and is amazing..

Mia absolutely loves to draw. This is her with Spock...

Kinzy even made this awesome house

with a mailbox on the side

and a flower garden

Mia and Kellan making cookies with mom

Kellan finally got to start eating cereal Yay!!

Big blue eye baby... just wish he would sleep better at night 

and not fight naps...
