Aliya Juel and Jaxon have become best of buds. Aliya has taken down her space bubble with Jaxon. It is so fun to have them be so close. Jaxon is always helping her and looking out for her. It makes me smile to watch Aliya Juel always thinking of Jaxon, she wants to make sure he gets whatever she does. Jaxon doesn't answer everything for Aliya which has helped her to start to count to ten. She still misses some letters but is getting better at saying the numbers and standing up for herself.

St Patrick's Parade 2011

Aliya Juel was all bundled up for the festivities. We met the Dunseth's, Warner's, and Mellus' families there. These are 3 of our closest family friends, our kids are all close in ages and play very well together. I love Tahlula passed out at the end of the night all dressed up. Such sweet kids we all have.

Swimming with friends

Swimming with Aliya Juel's best bud, Shia and his dad. As well as Jaxon's best bud, Parker and his little sister, Zoey. The kids had a blast while the mama's enjoyed it from the sidelines.

Some stories I want to remember

*Yesterday Aliya went potty all by herself in the little potty. After she went she emptied the potty in the toilet and sat on it again to go a little poop. She emptied that and came back to finish her business before she emptied it again. It was so funny to watch. She loves to help out.
*Aliya is a love bug. She loves to hug kids her own age, to the point of annoyance, at least she isn't hitting... right?
*I spoke to Jaxon's preschool teacher yesterday for about a half hour. It was so nice to hear how much they love having him in their class and that he lightens up the class. I am glad we chose to do a year of preschool before sending him off to kindergarten. I am going to register him next week and am happy, but also sad. I will miss having him around so much. And this is the beginning to a long road of school.
*Aliya has exploded with words, she says everything we say. She has such a sweet voice.
*My kids are so sweet, they truely light up my life. I absolutely love that I get to see them grow everyday. I am so in love with being a mother to these two little beings. They amaze me everyday... sometimes frustrate, but I always end the day with smiles full of love for them.
