I LOVE IYLA JADE!!!

Big sister

She is so cute

I love this picture

She was so super excited to be going to "Nya's other school"

She wanted these doors to open so badly.

Say cheeeessseeeeeee

Look at Leila looking at Iyla, so cute.

Crazy sisters!

These pictures are from Iyla's first "official" day of preschool. Tuesday was more like an open house. I seriously love these pictures. They totally capture her excitement and she looks so freakin' cute...I can barely take it. Also, it really made me realize how big Leila is. Leila was so ready to go right in the classroom with Iyla...

First day of school!

Yesterday was the first day of school for Nya (1st grade) and today is the first day of school for Iyla (pre-K 3). I cannot believe how fast they are growing up. I find myself forcing my brain to remember things from when they were babies. I try and remember little faces they made or the way their cry sounded. I hate that they are growing up so fast. I am glad I still have baby Leila at home with me or I might be really freaking out about my kids growing up.

End of summer bash

We had an end of summer pool party at our friend Colleen's new house. The kids loved it, we all had a super great time.

Best trip ever.

We had the best time ever. I really wish we could have stayed a month. The kids loved every second and, quite frankly, so did the adults! We really stayed busy between the beach and the pool but we loved every single second... We are surely going back next summer, and the summer after that and after that.....
