Sleeping Buddies

These two have been sleeping buddies lately. Hailey starts off falling asleep on the couch and they we move her to either her bedroom (which she will eventually wake up and come into our room and get into the blow up bed we have for them). Braxton falls sleep with one of us holding him and then we move him into our room. Braxton has never slept in his crib since he was born. He has been in our bed or on this bed. I have not mind and I like to snuggle with them. But these two now sleep together and they enjoy it and sleep pretty good when they can feel eachother there.

Jarel built us a bike rack for our house so in the summer the kids can just put their bikes in the rack instead of them laying all over the place! Tyler was helping Jarel get the bike rack ready to paint.

Celebration of her birthday

The bus comes right to our house which is very nice

She picked out her backpack and was thrilled we found a Minnie Mouse one...she is obsessed with Minnie Mouse lately

On Monday, Hailey had her first day of preschool. She was so excited to ride the bus to school (I was very nervous for this adventure...would they get her to the right school, would she like it, would she be safe, would she be scared when they pulled away, etc..). She is taking the bus to school because 1, it is offered and 2, her preschool starts at 9:00 on Monday and Wednesday and Tyler has preschool the exact same start time. So I can't be in two places at once. The bus came that first day, and I walked out and met the bus driver, Wendy, and we got her buckled in her seat. I gave her a hug and kiss and walked off the bus. I saw the bus pulled away and I did get teary eyed. There went my little girl on this BIG bus and just like that the bus was out of sight. I worried the next 2 hours until I went to pick her up about how it went and how her first day of school went. I got to the school early to wait for her and they came out of the door, but they were walking Hailey to the bus. I hurried over to get her before they put her on the bus (I would have her bussed home, but I have to pick her up at 11:00 and Tyler at 11:30 and I think the bus would be later then I would have to leave to pick up Tyler, so this way it is easier). So I was blessed to have been there a little early to catch her before they loaded her on the bus. I talked to her teacher and we got it all figured out and hopefully this won't happen again. Hailey LOVED the bus, LOVED school and they even celebrated her birthday that first day. She had a great time, and I was happy to see her and see how excited she was. It defiantly makes it easier to send her on the bus!
