SO MUCH FUN!!!!

I call it a MESS...Budah calls it his Ambance(Ambulance)

With the theme song from ER playing and sirens roaring, Budah and Mik are off to save lives ("just like Daddy") in their Ambulance. I asked them to clean up their mess and was told by Budah..."its my Ambance like Daddy drives." What do you say? Guess I will clean it up after they go to bed.

Da Budah and Mik

I have been meaning to take recent pics of the kids but just haven't done it. Saturday was the day. It was so cloudy outside but we braved the weather and made our way downtown. Budah was ALL about having his picture taken and seeing them. Mikala fell asleep so I ended up getting more of Budah than lil sis. They are so cute together and truly make me proud to be their mommy. I think what is so special is how close they are to each other and how they are constantly thinking of the others feelings.

Mikala turns 2

Just two short days after Budah started school Mikala turned 2. OMGosh, where has the time gone. She is growing up so fast. Her vocabulary is growing daily. She is a little on the sassy side which can be funny as can be and frustrating at the same time. She and Budah are best friends. I LOVE IT. She has learned so much from him and has taught him a lot also. I feel so blessed to be her mommy and love her so much.

Her own little cake.


Her big cake

First day of Pre-School

Budah started preschool on September 8, 2009. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I didn't want to be one of those moms that is traumatized by their child starting school but deep down inside I was a little. It seems like I fell asleep and woke up with a 3 year old. Budah potty trained in a week. We told him that he had to be a big boy and potty in the toilet so he could go to school and the next thing we know he did it. We rewarded him with Spiderman stickers and it was done. We had tried for months before hand with no success then he decided it was time and the rest is history.
The morning of September 8 he woke up all excited for school. He kept telling Mikala he was going to go to school and that she could come with me to pick him up. The way he spoke of school was in such a grown up tone and it really threw me off. My baby boy went to sleep the night before as my baby boy and woke up my big boy. I know you know what I am talking about.
I didn't shed any tears after dropping him off even though when he said good-bye and walked away grown up it was like a dagger in my heart. I was so proud of him.
Mikala now sits in his car seat when he is at school. I think it is her way of showing that she is getting big also. So fun to watch but such a eye opener.
You two make me so happy and proud as a mom. I love you guys.

Budah and Mikala...Mikala looks so big to me here.

In the parking lot sporting his Spiderman backpack and sticker on his arm.

Fashon at its best

Mikala is obsessed with shoes. It doesn't matter who's they are or what the look like she wants to try them on and wear them around. Most of the time we can't find our shoes. We have to look all around the house to find a pair. She has a great sense of fashion. So, the next time you can't decide what shoes to wear...take a lesson from Mikala. She is one hot chick with great fashion sense.

This is for you Michelle

The last time I spoke with Michelle, she said you need to do a new post. I have kind of had blog block. I can't say that I have been overly busy but I have been busy. On Fathers Day we were up at Walsburg. Eddie and Michelle had their dog Apolo with them. Apolo is a Police Officer. Is that cool or what. I have never been a big German Shepherd fan but I am IN LOVE with this dog. Is it the dog or the uniform?
