zoes 1st day of preschool


Well today was zoes first day of school, she went for a month in may then was out for summer , she started today at a new school, a much better school thats like 5 minutes from the house! Unfortunatly its not the school she will stay at when she starts kindergarten, that one is behind our house! woot! She goes monday thru friday from 10:45 to 1:15, today went good even against all her protests and her saying she wasn't going! We will see how tomorrow goes hehe.

Crazy kids!



So zane loves to do whatever his sister does! That includes play dress up! The other week zoe was in her princess dress and zane wanted to wear it too so zoe gave him her smaller older one! Jake didn't think it was so cute lol.

Here is at a few days old, he was so small and cute!
Zanes first bday!
Zane at 12 months
Zane now at 19 1/2 months.

Zane is getting so big, so fast, he is still small, is in the 25th percintle for everything, which to me is so funny cus zoe has always been huge and way above average so to me he is still so tiny lol. He still can wear 12 months clothes! He is very boyish and loves anything with wheels, he loves cars,trucks, trains. He also loves shoes lol that boy is obsessed. Enjoy!

She is 3, she is very independant, stubborn, smart and i think she is gonna have a talent in acting, that girl can immitate movies right down to the emotions lol, its hilarious, she loves to sing and dance along and she is very into the disney princesses right now. She starts school next week preschool and goes 5 days a week for almost 3 hours a day. She already started in may and then was out for summer and goes back! So excited! Here are some pics of zoe!

Vacation

Well Jake has been on vacation all last week so its been nice and relaxing! We didn't do much but relax which was very needed. I feel refreshed now and ready to go! Here are some highlights of our week :

Went and saw the new mummy movie out, then after we saw it i realized we hadn't watched the others in a long time so we rented mummy 1 and me and jake and zane watched it, man that movie is old!!

We went to the Dallas World Aquarium and Museum of Science and Natural History and the kids had a blast! We spent all day friday out there, zane loved the large shark tank and the huge wall where you could watch the manatees and sea turtles. Zoe loved the bats in the black light and the sloths lol. Then they loved the children museum and could spend all day playing down there, think next year we are going to get memberships to both places so we can go anytime.

Then I got to spend the day shopping with my little girl and getting her school clothes and supples for her to start school ( preschool ) next week on the 25th, its alot of fun dressing her up, she is starting to get more girly but i learned she doesn't like shopping lol, just buy her stuff, try it on at home and then return it. Zane is my shopper, he loves shopping for shoes, clothes ,etc. So he is my new shopping buddy! We got some pretty good deals and sales!

Today i just have to go grocery shopping and then have a girls night at starbucks! lol So exciting!

This week we are gonna have alot of fun possiable before zoe starts her school, she will go monday thru friday for 2 1/2 hours a day 10:45 to 1:15, luckily this time its by the house and not clear across town so it will give me and zane more time to do things! I am excited for her, she says she is not going but she will , it will be a hard first week and then she will get into the routine, thats how zoe is. Hope everyone is doing well, leave me some love! I will post some new pics soon! Camera batteries are dead lol.

Zoes Haircut!




Well I finally did it! I took zoe to get her hair cut before school starts, she has never had the back of her hair cut and it was long down to her butt, but it would get so tangled and so long she couldn't wear it down it would get in her way but i hated to cut it because she had the precious curls!! But we did, i took her to the cutest girly salon for girls called sweet n sassy in frisco, she got about 3 inches cut off and it really makes a differance! Enjoy!!
