Peter Goes To Preschool

Here are some recent pics to enjoy:



Here we are at Santa Monica Beach! Addy is queen of the castle!



Addy at Dodger Stadium. She's barely taller than the finger.


What a cute couple!! Jared's a little sunburned from the beach earlier.


Peter at the Twin Falls County Fair with his Uncle Mau and Aunt Marie.

We had a lot of fun this summer. We went to Santa Monica Beach and to LA for a Dodger Game in August. It was a pit stop on our way to Twin Falls to visit family. We, me and the kids, were there two weeks. Jared had to go back to Arkansas to start his first week of school and then over Labor Day weekend he flew back and we all drove back to Arkansas. It was a fun trip, but I wished Jared was able to stay with us the whole time.

Well, our little guy has started preschool and loves it. He started this last week and absolutely loves his teacher Miss Debbie. He goes from 7:30am to 2:30pm. I miss him, but I must say that it's been a lot less stressful for me. I've been babysitting temporarily for my Sister-in-law Sam since she recently had a baby. That's right, Lil' Ron has made his way into the world! He was born last Friday. We got a call at 3 in the morning from Ron letting us know that he was holding his little boy. Congratulations Ron and Sam!!


Can I just say kudos to all of you ladies that babysit out of your home. It's a tough thing to do. I have been watching a 4 yr old girl and a 3 yr old boy and a 7 month old baby girl. The baby girl has bad acid reflux and the 3 yr old boy and Peter seem to fight all the time. But since Peter's been going to Preschool, it's been a lot quieter. Addy loves the baby girl. In fact, she just mauls her every time she gets an opportunity. It's been tough lately because of the recent miscarriage. However, it does keep me busy from thinking too much. I hate that my day is shot though. I start babysitting from 7am and the last kid gets picked up at 6pm. So, we eat dinner and give the kids baths and ready for bed and that's my day.


Jared said the other day that he misses time spent with just me and the kids. I must say that I agree. It's so important to us to have family time. So, we squeezed in as much family time as we could yesterday. We went to a pumpkin patch and just spent the entire day together. It was a lot of fun!!

Sounds like a fun trip! Sorry Jared couldn't be with you guys the whole time. Ya babysitting out of your home would be tough. Hopefully you can settle into a routine that helps. Take care. HUGS!
