First Day of School 2011 - Bri 3rd Grade, Kaleb 2nd Grade

Happy Birthday KALEB!

Kaleb my SWEET little man! I can not believe you are seven years old!!! Time FLYS... and you keep us running! When you were born I couldn't believe the connection between a mother and a son. There is something special in little boys and I knew we would always be close. I didn't know then that we would have the obstacles that we do now. I'm sure it is so hard for you not to be able to tell mommy things, like how you are feeling or even what you want to eat, but somehow through everything you are always smiling and teaching others how to smile along! You are such an amazing kiddo and I love you more then words. I'm so excited you are a big brother and you are being awesome with your new baby sister. I know she crys and it hurts your ears, and mommy has to help her lots, but you are so patient and keep giving her kisses. Thank you for always being so sweet to Bri/sissy as well, you two have always been best buds! You are the best little 7year old boy and mom could ask for!!! Love you LOTS! ~mommy

School PICTURES!

I love the day that we get school pictures home in their backpacks!!! So fun to see my cute kids pictures!!!

Kaleb - 1st Grade

"I loved that his little tongue was pushing out his super loose front tooth! This picture melted my heart!"

Briana - 2nd Grade

"She is so into dressing up and planning what to where... she went shopping for a necklace to match her outfit and everything! I can't believe how grown up she is!!! This is the last picture with her LONG hair!"

Poor little Kaleb got hurt at school.

My poor little guy got hurt at school! He was so SAD! When I got up there his nose was still bleeding off and on (it's a half hour drive there!) He would just lay on me and cry! It really broke his little heart. On the way home I stopped and got him a drink (since he had swallowed so much blood) and he just hugged it. When I finally got him home - I put him in the bath and tried to get all the blood off him. Within an hour he had blood all over him again because he wouldn't leave his poor nose alone. He fell off the monkey bars but hit his nose on a bar as he fell... it wasn't until the next day that he finally let me touch his mouth to see he had this huge blood blister under his lip. His lip was bruised through and it looked like he had a mustache. (The picture makes me laugh because his face is all sticky from his sucker - suckers were the only thing that kept him happy :)
