countdown til Nema and Tepa are here

3 weeks ago we made this how to be a happy family chain with 21 links on it..It is our countdown chain til nema and tepa get here, so the kids have been taking a link off everyday and i cant believe there is only 3 more to go and the last one says Give nema and tepa hugs. We are really excited for Nema and Tepa to come visit us, just hope you can handle this heat....of course you can with the beach or a water pistol fight with tyler.
Eliza nd Tyler are so excited they are clapping about it.

Alicias First Day at Big School

So it is here Alicias first day of school. I had so many plans for this day and what happens...Eliza throws up since 5 in the morning and we are late not too bad 8.50 instead of 8.45. Hans couldnt stay home and had to leave before 8. Tyler walks out with no shoes and his shorts on backwards. Eliza looks white as a ghost and alicia is so excited she would of driven herself if she could have.

Alicia not quite ready still with wet hair, when dad left


Alicia and her friends from church Liana and Havannah

She looked really cute , hans loves how cute she looks in her uniform. Alicia was very anxious to get in her classroom, almost forgot to kiss me goodbye then came back to kiss Tyler goodbye (that is when i could of cried ....but i didnt). Oh I'm not sad but realize this is it, this is the beginning of many many school years.


When i picked her up from school at 2.45 i don't think i have ever seen her look so tired and flushed from the heat. She said she had a good day , made some new friends both of there names were madison, got in trouble only a little bit but put her hand up when she wanted to talk.
Tyler was really cute (before he also started being sick all day) everything he ate or drank he would save some or half and say "This is Alicia when she came home". Alicia is really excited for her Nema and Tepa to pick her up from school next week.
