Wish I could keep her small

Time is definitely flashing before my eyes. Today Ms. Joan was talking to me about preschool graduation and I got this crazy lump in my throat. I forgot all about preschool graduation. Ugh..... She is still my baby. It's funny how I can still remember how it felt the first time she kicked in my tummy and the way she smelled when I first held her or how excited I was when she first rolled over. I remember how fast I would drive home from work because I missed her so much. Leaving my 5 month old at Kindercare at the time I thought was the hardest thing I would do as a parent, little did I know watching her grow would definitely be the hardest thing. Not being in control of something is hard. I can't control her milestones and it makes me sad. Time flies. I have a toothless, soon to be 5 year old who is going to graduate from Preschool. So bittersweet. Today I couldn't stop looking at her. She is growing up but even in her sleep she still reminds me of that baby I brought home and the one I use to race home to. I know I can't keep her small forever but I really wish I could.

The tooth

Yesterday she was my 4 year old with a loose tooth....Today she is my 4 year old who is anticipating the arrival of the tooth fairy....bittersweet. My kid is growing up. Now...there really is no stopping her :(  Time to get ready for the tooth fairy.. 

Bye Bye baby tooth...

 Leilah could barely handle all this. She really freaked out and was so sad.

Alyssa Neveah Sanchez

I remember our pregnancy like it was yesterday. We both found out we were going to be Mama's less than two months apart. I remember us being super nervous and asking each other  "What the heck will we do with these new babies?" Definitely the biggest surprise of our lives. We went from neighbors who would ditch high school to sleep instead, to crazy college roommates who partied all night and fought over who should wash the dishes, to expecting mommy's who craved late night Cinnabon. Never in our life did we imagine ourselves pregnant together expecting little girls but it is definitely an experience I treasure and will never forget. I remember your text letting me know you were in labor and how beautiful Alyssa was the first time I held her...and secretly jealous that you got your baby first. :) Can't believe how fast time passes us by. We will have Kindergartners this year. Congrats Mama on 5 Years since you were handed the greatest surprise you've ever received. Happy 5th Birthday Alyssa Nevaeh. We love you and hope you had a great day. Syniah can't wait to celebrate with you!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

There is nothing sweeter than two Sisters who truly love each other and what better way to express that love than on Valentine's Day. These two were so mushy today. Which was great for me because I got some really great shots. I love these two. Today I am reminded of what true Love is really about. These two complete me. They are everything I have ever dreamed of and more. 

My two sweet Valentines.

Happy Valentines Day from the two biggest parts of my heart! 

V-day Cards

With lots of thought and Love into Syniah's class V-day cards...this was the final product. Definitely a card that reflects her personality. My kid is growing up. Never thought she would be old enough to even go to school let alone give out Valentine's. She was so excited to pass these out. 

Happy February

This isn't how I expected to start the month...so sick. Not fun at all. I have so much to do today but instead I am trying to nurse myself back to health while watching my babies cuddle. They have been so good today. I guess they feel bad for me. Ugh.... I pray this is not the flu! I really hope this is a great month....the start isn't so great but atleast tomorrow is a new day.
