First day of Preschool

I came into my mom's bed and woke her up because I was so excited for school! I got to wear my new clothes and my new Transformer shoes. It was cold outside, so mommy put me in a warm jacket.

When I got to school I put my backpack and coat into my very own cubby. Then the teacher gave me my nametag. I was too busy looking at everything that I forgot to give mommy a hug and kiss goodbye...but she remembered to. After school was done I told my mom about my favorite things and told her "I want to come back again!" I loved playing outside and with the dinosaur toys. They read books, sang songs, painted pictures, and tons of other things. I love my school and my teachers.

I was able to watch Quentin through their observation booth for the last 1/2 hour of school. He looked like he was having a blast and he was listening well to the instructions given. I think he's really going to enjoy preschool.

First Ultrasound!

Thought I'd update everyone this way...I'm not much for talking on the phone. LOL The ultrasound went really great. They saw the baby and everything is normal. James said to make sure there's not two in there....sorry to disappoint some of you, but there's only one. The baby's heartbeat was good and was moving around and waving his arms. Well, little nubs LOL. They found a cyst in my left ovary but said it's nothing that I should worry about. They also said that there is a blood clot next to where the baby implanted. Also, nothing to worry about. I just can't over-do anything or do much lifting. I said...Good Luck! I go to school and deal with a 3-year-old. I got a stomach ache after and now my left side is sore where they saw the cyst. Other than that...I'm good! So...now's the time for a poll! I'll post one on the side of my blog to see what everyone thinks we're going to have. I don't know how much I can tell you that is different...or the same...from my last pregnancy. It was too long ago and my life is so much different than before. Your guess is as good as mine...well, I have mother's intuition on my side...we'll see who's right and who's wrong! BTW next appointment is October 7th and I get another ultrasound!

Dilemma...

As most of you know I will be starting school on September 10th and Quentin will be starting preschool on September 22nd. Yay for preschool! The problem is that I seem to be running short on babysitters. (No worries Katie and Brook, you have your families to think of first) I don't know where to go for babysitting. If any of you have an idea or any suggestions, that would be most helpful! Here's my schedule for needing a babysitter: Quentin is in preschool from 8-10:30 on T and TH, but since I start school on the 10th I will need someone during these times until the 22nd. WEEKLY: M- 8-2; T- 11-1; W- 8-2; TH- 11-1; F- 10-2. The semester ends on December 15th.

Let me know if you hear of anyone who would watch Quentin. I really want to stay away from DayCare.

. . . Summer Update . . .

At Ross Park: This is what happens when you don't have anyone else to take your photo. Peoples heads get cut off! We don't have any other photos from the water park. A little sad about that.
Kristin's first fish!! She was so excited. Mathew caught the biggest fish "but I caught one first" I don't think she's competitive . . . do you? LOL


Quentin fished a little and helped others with their fish, but mainly he played with the worms. Is anyone really surprised?

Just before going to Yellowstone we stopped at the spring that you can drink out of. There were a ton of butterflies and the kids had fun chasing and catching them.
Caroline had fun when we got to get out of the car. Kids just don't do well squished in a car for long periods of time.
It was hot outside, but the kids were really good sports and enjoyed the "smelly hot tubs"

This is my favorite picture. Aren't they so precious!

I sure love my husband and the good man that he is. He makes things so much fun and exciting. We have a great family together!
We've been so busy this summer we made our kids exhausted! We woke up one morning to find Caroline sleeping at the foot of the bed. It was so cute I had to take a picture!

We had so much fun with the kids this summer and can't believe that it's already over. We didn't get as much done as we would have liked, but that's okay . . . there's always next summer!

Daddy's little girl . . .

. . . not so little anymore! Dad taught her to ride a bike without training wheels. Kristin did so well and kept at it. She'd crash and then get right back on. After she learned well enough we went for a bike ride. She was still a little wobbly. One time I looked behind me to see how she was doing and all of a sudden Kristin disappeared in the tall grass. No more Kristin . . . until Dad said "watch out for snakes" She jumped right up and started screaming. It was hilarious.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Huml for the bike. Oh, and for the helmet and gear, I would've gotten pretty scraped up without it!

Out and about for a little stroll around the park.

Kristin was so proud of this little stunt that her and Dad do. She calls herself "Dad's little acrobat"

Caroline's B-lated Birthday

Caroline's Birthday was celebrated along with the twins, Jonah and Isabelle. They had a blast with their own cakes to tear into. You did a great job Becky! The last picture is Caroline a week later with one of her toys.
