The KinderKids-part 1

This is my adorable cousin, who I think of as my own. I watched her in my home from 9 months to 4 years, and she is still best buds with my Thing 1. They are both going to Kindergarten very soon! She starts on Monday, and Thing 1 has her evaluation on Tuesday and then starts the next Wednesday. I have been so excited all of Thing 1's life, for her to go to Kindergarten, but tonight after her "Back to School" night, I have started to feel a little nervous about it all. I can handle her being somewhere else in others care for a few hours, but everyday for 9 months is a long time! Well 5 days a week anyway. I am worried I am going to mess up on making sure her homework is always taken care of, that she is thriving and doing well socially and educationally. I know she loves her teacher already, because we got to meet her tonight and the first thing Thing One did was give her a big hug like she has known her for years. My life as a stay at home mom is about to change dramatically in a week and a half. I am not sure if I am ready or not? Totally excited, but how will I do? Thing One is going to be awesome, I am not worried about her to much, but can I support her the way she needs me to?
Anyway, we were able to have this cute little cousin over today for a few hours, as kind of a last summer play date before school starts, and well, she just looked so stinking cute, I couldn't help but pull out the camera like old times and get some fun pictures of her. She is a doll and I just love her and her parents soooo much! Here's a look-see of my favorites :)

She just lost those two teeth recently, her first ones to be lost  :)

This one is my personal favorite, I love the bare feet, and her sweet pose. She did most of her posing on her own, I just gave her the props to work with :)

Also, if you are ever wondering about places to do pictures, sometimes, you wont have to look any further than the side of your house or your garage. Today, I was thankful that we have been putting off getting our house a new paint job :)

Every Jam needs a nose : )

I told my mom not to put my shirt on me before breakfast, I was sure it would be a mess if she did.

Toast and Jam? ya.........

Jelly is my favorite food, and when I'm in a Jelly mood, I can't ever get enough, of that yummy gummy stuff!

Jelly on my hands, Jelly on my nose....................

Jelly on my belly............makes a good canvas,

I wonder how much It will take to get a good bath out of this?

I'm really going to need a good bath.

The result of a good breakfast

 

 

This is why we kept my shirt clean :)

Cute huh?

A mini mom

Thing 1 loooves her sisters.....


When Thing 2 was born, Thing 1 had a little bit of a hard time with all the attention on the brand new baby, but she still loved her sister dearly. Now that Thing 2 is three and Thing 1 is five, they are best buds! They do everything together, and they take good care of eachother. 


When Thing 3 was in my belly, her two older sisters loved her too. They didn't even know her yet and they loved her. 
When Thing 3 was born, they loved her even more, so much that Thing 1 named her Guchi Gu :)
Guchi Gu is now Guchi Gu to everyone, it just fits her!
Thing 1 has a Tri-Cycle that she likes to ride. 
Guchi Gu wanted to ride it too, so Thing 1 used her wonderful, thoughtful little mothering skills and gave Thing 3 her first experience on a bike. They rode it for at least a half an hour. Thing 3 loooooved it!
Here are some pictures of proof  :)

Thing Two and her adorableness/haircut

Some days I just look at my kids, and can't help but say "Oh I love my kids!!". 

And then I continue to smother them in hugs and squishes and kisses, until they start to struggle to get away from their crazy mother, but they never leave without making me feeling like they are the best "things" that have happened to my dear husband and I (well, besides just being married, that's a pretty great thing too. :)

Little miss Thing 2, got a hair cut. From me, I might add. The only drastic hair cut I have ever done on any of my girls or anyone for that matter. Her hair was about 3 inches longer, curly and cute, but just not even, and she was due for a trim. So, about a month or so ago, I got brave and with what little knowledge I have about how to do an A-line cut, I start to snip away! 

I looooove Her profile!!! That little ski-slope nose is THE Best!!

Somehow it turned out great! She loves it, and with her mild natural curl, it works perfectly, all we have to do when her hair gets wet, is brush it all back. It dries and curls on its own, in its own little perfect way. :)

Cute little eyes that melt me, like Chocolate :)

Yesterday it just looked so cute on her, so I snapped a few photos. She is a sweet silly girl, and I just love her!

I love spring flowers, they never cease to make my backyard perfect for pictures :)

Oh what a sweet, sweet little baby!!! This is my friends little baby, born at the beginning of April, I loved taking pictures of her. I forget how little and fragile they are when they are newly born, and I was afraid to even pick her up, lol. She is so cute and cuddly!

Beautiful Gwen and her brand new baby :)

my favorite, I just want to squish her!!

already dressing like a princess :) This family was full of boys until she came, and now her mommy gets to enjoy a world full of  frills and flowers and Pink!

I love brand new,wrinkly, peely baby skin, it just shows how young she is, not very old at all

Congratulations Gwen, she is beautiful!!!!
