Looking so big

Today we went for new haircuts. After the cuts and snips, my two handsome boys went to play outside the salon. While they were Running in the yard, I realized how emotional I've been this week. We started school back on Monday and all this week as I have watched the new kindergarteners across the hall, I realized that my Weston can be in that line next year. How can that be? It seems that just yesterday he was needing me for every little thing, only for this week (last night after his preschool open house where his teacher mentioned him being so ready for big school to be exact) he tells me not to lay with him at bedtime and to leave him laying by himself. He's never wanted that and always wanted to play with my hair while we talked about his day as he fell asleep. During that open house last night, I began thinking about how this could be the last preschool open house for him. Monday when I walked into school I thought to myself "next year I wouldn't be dropping him off at nanas in the mornings and He'll be walking in the school building with me". I'm so happy for how he loves to learn, has a passion for helping others, genuinely shows his love all the time. I'm proud that he has a village around him to help guide and lead him. Walker is making me equally emotional. 6 months from now we will be planning his 2nd birthday. How can this be? They looked so grown with their haircuts today. Such handsome boys that I can say are mine. I thank God every day for making me their mama and giving me every second that I have with them. I heard so many times before having them yang time really flies but man I didn't know what they meant. Especially after walker, it seems to speed past me. I had someone tell me recently a phrase that I say to myself all of the time now..."the days are long, but the years are so short". I'm not sure if truer words have ever Been spoken. The are growing, learning, and loving and though I wish time would stand still right now, I'm excited to see the boys they will become. (Even if I am a basket case of emotions throughout the process) 

Preschool begins again!

We are excited to be getting ready to start Weston's second year of preschool. We are thrilled that he has mrs Laura again and has his buddies from last year in his class. So excited about all he will learn this year. We went to orientation tonight.

We went to kitty hawk this weekend with Michael and casey. It was a great time! We walked on the beach at night,  splashed in the water, saw lighthouse, went over lots of bridges, saw big boats, went to jockeys ridge and the wright bros memorial. It was a great time. 

Check up time

Weston's 4 yr old appt and walkers 15 mo appt today. Shots: Weston 4, walker 2. Weston had vision, hearing tests and did super. He talked non stop to the dr. Both boys checked out well. Weight: Weston 36 lbs, walker 25 lbs. 

Weston's first trail ride

Weston went on his first trail ride "all by himself" on Thursday August 7, 2014 in the mountains. He rode Jessie up to the red house and was so big! 

First letter

Aunt Mary Ellen from Montana sent the boys blankets do we needed to send a thank you note. I decided to let Weston write it. I told him the letters and pointed to where they needed to be but he did it! I'm so proud and so was he! He loves learning and I hope that continues to be the case :).
