Blair's first day of pre-school

Blair finally started her first official day of preschool on the 14th of August.  She was so excited and is still excited about preschool.  She only goes twice a week (Tues. and Thurs.) but she asks everyday if she gets to go to "PEE-school".  She gets upset when it's not her day to go.  Speaking of PEE...Blair is officially potty trained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Did you notice all the exclamation marks? Ya, you could say that I'm pretty excited about this.  I kept telling her that she couldn't go to preschool until she was potty trained (this was my rule not Valerie's.  Valerie would have let Blair go anyways).  Almost everyday for a whole month I was counting down the days for her.  Seriously two days before preschool started was when she finally decided to go full time on the toilet.  Not sure what to label this one....clever, stubborn, turkey....maybe all the above!  In any case I finally found something that motivated her enough, even if she waited until the last minute.  About a week later she was night time potty trained as well.  WAY TO GO BLAIR!!!

Happy little girl!

Thanks to gymnastics Blair likes to pose like this too!

Tried to get pictures of all the kids together.  Ya, that didn't work out all that well.

I thought standing in the windows might work well for Dyer since he generally loves looking and playing in the windows.  That didn't last long enough.

Dyer's gone but these two sure are cute!

Best Big Brother Award here!  

Easton was insistent that he carry Blair's back pack for her.

And he's ready to go...

One more group shot!

Blair started school a week before Easton so while she was at school the boys and I took a trial run to see how long it would take us to walk/ride to Easton's school.

Easton rode his bike and it actually takes him longer to ride his bike then to walk.

The 14th also marked mine and Nathan's 8th anniversary.  We celebrated with the kids by eating cake.

Happy Anniversary Handsome!  Love you always!
