Soon to be a Kindergartner!

Trace has had a marvelous first year at school! He has LOVED every minute of it. I am very proud of how great he has done this year. He is reading lots of sight words and easy books. I know pre-k is pretty hard, but he made all 3's on his report card!! They only get two reports cards a year in pre-k and the first one he made one 2, in cleans up work space. I thought that was pretty funny. I wonder where he gets that from? (me) I can already tell that Trace is our rule follower ! :) He's ready for K next year.

Miss Buxton-pre-k teacher!

Bella's Last Day

My sweet baby girl on her last day of school this year. Look how big I have gotten!

Bella's first day! She couldn't even walk yet.

Isabella had her last day of school on Thursday. She has been going twice a week and really has fun with her little friends. I can't believe this year is over! It has gone by so fast and she has grown SO much! I can't beleive how little she was at the first of the year. She doesn't look like a baby anymore!

Mother's Day/Mimi and Trace's Spa

I love being a mother! It is truly the best thing in the world. Trace and Isabella bring so much joy and happiness to my life. I thank God everyday for choosing me to be their mother. On Mother's Day we went over to my wonderful Mother's house for dinner. Trace went over earlier in the day to help Mimi with my mother's day surprise. It was a mother's day spa! It was so cute! It was in mom's piano room where there was soft music playing, and their were candles with the lights off. Trace was in charge and Mimi directed him. It was funny. He painted my toenails, or maybe I should say toes, my fingernails, gave me a facial and massage. They even had a magazine for me to read with Dr. Pepper and snacks! It was so nice. Thank you mom for that special day. You are the BEST mom in the whole world, and I hope that I can be just as wonderful to my kids.

Trace is hard at work!

The glitter fingernail polish. Trace picked all of the colors. This one looked blue, but went on pretty clear. Lovely!

The best pedicure I've ever had!!!

The beautiful cake that Trace helped ice.

Wow-Papa outdid himself on dinner!

I Love You! You Love Me!

Isabella LOVES Barney! Trace was a Wiggle fan, but she loves to watch and sing along with that crazy purple dinosaur. She is too cute singing along with the motions! I love it! Broadway, here I come Aunt Julie!

Easter Morning

Here are a few pics from Easter morning. It was cold and rainy so we hunted eggs inside! If you haven't seen Isabella in the morning, here is her crazy hair!! It's all over the place when she wakes up! They got lots of fun stuff in their baskets, including Easter monkeys!!

Bunny Brunch

As you know my mom loves to do holidays BIG! Well, this year she invited the kiddos to a "Bunny Brunch." They had so much fun! They dyed Easter eggs, ate a yummy breakfast including bunny pancakes, made a bunny house, blew bubbles, made egg cookies, and had so much fun! Papa even dressed up as a bunny!


This is the best day ever!!
