Pre School Already!

The years have gone by too fast! The day that Trace had been looking forward to and I have been getting nauseous about came today....the first day of preschool. I know I sound like an over protective mom, and I am! It has been Trace and I all day every day for three and a half years. The only time I was ever away from him was when I was giving birth to Jersey and I dreaded that for weeks prior as well. Anyway, the day started with Joe calling us at 6:50 to make sure we were awake. He left a message on the answering machine telling us to get up its time for school. That woke Treyson up and he immediately woke up. From my room I could hear him talking, "Time for school! I need to put on my shirt and shorts and socks and hat, I'm going to preschool today!" I just lied there and smiled. Knowing he was so excited made me more at ease, I clearly would be missing him more that he missing me.

After a long and extremely exciting day filled with making a "shape book", playing on the playground, singing, making new friends and ending the day with a peanut butter and jelly "sandwish" my boy was exhausted!

Backyard Fun

We love having so my much space in the backyard. The kids have more room to play and ride around and I love just sitting outside watching them!

Enjoying the beautiful day!

Dad loves that Trace is at the age where he can play baseball and learn new fun things. Trace kept laughing when Joe would put him in the correct stance, but once he got the hang of it he was awesome!

Keep your eye on the ball, son!

He had no problem connecting the bat with the ball.

He hit it so hard that it got stuck in the top of this tree! Joe had to throw other toys up there to get it out. If you look close you can see the white ball in the top. Trey thought this was absolutely hysterical! So did I!

Home Sweet Home?

We are all moved in to the new house and for the most part we like it. I didn't realize how emotional I was going to be leaving our own home. My sweet missionaries came over one last time and we all cried and took lots of pictures. I am very upset I don't get to see those Sisters anymore, we really had a great bond with one another. We lived in a not so great neighborhood but I liked our home. Walking through the house to make sure we had everything and seeing the bare walls reminded me of when we first moved in and how excited we were. Joe has done so much work on that house over the last 5 years. I keep reminding myself that our unfortunate loss will be someone else's gain. I am hoping that someone who never though they would be able to buy a house will get ours. And they wont have to do any work to it. Anyway, the new house, it is bigger with a huge living room and backyard. The kids have more room then they know what to do with! Treyson is having a hard time, he misses his home. He looks to me and tells me "I want to go home now, Mom, to our home!" It breaks my heart. We remind him that this is out new home and how awesome it is to be here. I hope he starts to feel more comfortable soon. I know it will take us all some time but we have already started making new memories here. We play in the backyard everyday and Trace loves that. He has really started getting into playing baseball and he is pretty dang good at it too! Jeresy had rug burns on her knees from working in crawling and I am still trying to figure our where to put things. Joe, he is such a trooper, he loves this house, it has a garage...what else could a man need! It is pretty easy to keep him satisfied! So here we are, making our new home a "Sweet" one!
