1. We watched Molly in Mesa while Nicki was in Nashville, she had fun playing with her cuzzies.

2. Grammy Schaub got a music lesson in with you jamming away on the harmonica and Paxey twinkling his fingers on the uke.

3.  The first selfie I found of you on my phone.

4.  Selfie with Paxey, his cheeks look extra chubby in this pic.

5. Lately Annabelle has been asking me for an apple everyday.  I don't even have to cut it up for her anymore, she likes to sit and take big bites out of them on her own.

6. AnnaB, Mollz and me…it was hard to get Molly to smile!

7.  Daddy took you to Home Depot with him one Saturday and lucky enough they were actually have a  kids craft day and making bird houses.  He said you did really well and painted it all by yourself.  Usually after you and Dad have an outing he takes you to Mc Donalds for a happy meal.

8.  Of course you find more entertainment from a box than your actual toys!

Annabelle's 1st Day of Preschool at Pitter Patter

I couldn't believe that morning when you woke up I would be sending you off to your little preschool at Mrs. Kali's house.  I was excited for you to go because Kali has been such a good friend of ours and I knew that you would learn so much and soak all the education in. I was proud of you for getting ready and waking up and putting your book bag on.  The preschool is held out of her house so it's not too far of a drive for us. Kali has actually known you since you were born, we used to all be in the same ward and her son Swayde is only a little older than you.  My Mommy heart just hoped that you would do well, that you would remember your manners, be kinds to others, and just be the sweet little Annabelle that we know. I was nervous to send you off, but knew that you would have such a great time.  You love to be around your friends and to learn.

When we got to Mrs. Kali's house she had a white board out with all of the kids names on it and you had to find yours.  You smiled for a picture with her and then off you went like a big girl to your big girl school.  I was anxious to pick you up and to hear about how your 1st official day at school went.

You go to preschool for 3 hours 2x a week. (Mon/Wed from 9-12) When I picked you up you were so excited to tell me all that you had learned and especially what you had for snack time.  You seemed to have really enjoyed yourself and couldn't wait to go back.  I'm thankful that we were able to find a place in Kingman for you to go and learn.  I know that with the foundation you already have with your letters and numbers you will just keep on growing.

Of course Mommy always likes to dress you up for school in cute outfits.  I think you look so adorable when you put your book bag on too.  We had to order you a book bag from Amazon because the one we had at home was to small for your school folder.  I love you Miss AB and am excited to see your progress in school.

An Apple a Day...

You have been my little apple eater lately! Every day you'll ask me for one and I used to have to cut it up for you but now you just like to chomp big bites out of it!  I don't mind you eating them at all because it's a healthy snack and good for you! Even when we went to Grammy Schaub's house you sat in the rocking chair in the living room and happily ate one. You say, "Mommy, can I have an apple please?"
