Haisley's First Day of Kindergarten

Ok, so I was not am emotional wreck at Meet the Teacher.  Fast forward 2 days to the first day of school and I was a TRAIN.  WRECK!  Haisley was beyond excited.  She took her lunch the first day per her request!  She also has such a big girl backpack.  Gone are the days of the cutesy monogrammed backpacks.  I was able to walk her in the first day, however, she requested that I not hold her hand.  Ummm, excuse me.  I birthed you, you will hold my hand, and you will like it.  She had an amazing first day.  She is meeting new friends and gaining more confidence every day.  We are so blessed that she loves school and we hope that she continues! 

Meet The Teacher 2017

My baby started kindergarten.  Honestly, she was more ready than I was.  We love her teacher, Ms. Key, and we know we are going to have a fantastic year.  I could tell that she was super nervous to go to her new school, but seeing familiar faces from preschool really helped.  We can't wait for the busy, fun year ahead!

Camille's First Dentist Appt

Whew...going to the dentist is HARD WORK.  Haisley was a bundle of nerves (like her momma), Benton was laid back as could be (like his daddy), and Camille had never been to the dentist, so she didn't know what to expect.  She did AMAZING.   She acted like such a big girl!  Her teeth looked great, but we have to get rid of the paci. 

Camille is 23 Months

Our sweet, precious, sassy Millie Girl is 23 months old.  The oldest any of my babies have been without also having a newborn.  I simply cannot believe that the baby is growing up and will soon be 2.  She is such a joy!  Camille has a stubborn personality, for sure.  I can already tell that I let her get away with more than I let the others.  Some updates on the baby girl:
Sleep:  She has transitioned to a big girl bed and does pretty good in it.  Oddly enough, naptime goes better than bedtime.  She sleeps about 1.5 hours for her nap.  She goes to bed around eight, and knock on wood, sleeps through the night.
Teeth:  No new teeth, but we go to the dentist for the first time next week.  Should be fun for everyone involved.
Eating:  Camille is a decent eater.  Some days she loves certain foods, other days she will turn her nose up at the same food.  Her favorite food is still sausage.
Tricks:  I cannot get over how much Camille is talking these days.  I LOVE hearing her sweet little voice.  MELTS.  MY.  HEART!  Camille is excellent at coloring, and loves hanging with the big kids.  I can definitely tell she is the youngest of 5.  She will start preschool in a few weeks and it will definitely do her good!  I will say that she knows most of her colors!!

Haisley Grace is 5.5

My sweet Haisley Grace is 5 and half years old.  My firstborn will be in kindergarten in about a week.  She is a precious and sweet friend, and I know that she will have a wonderful time!  Haisley Grace is one of the most kind-hearted people I know.  She's silly, girly, timid, cautious, and absolutely precious.  I love her heart.  Some updates on our angel bug...
Size:  She's still a little bitty thing.  I think she weighs about 35 pounds, and is only an inch or so taller than Benton.  She wears size 5 clothing and size 11 shoes.
Eating:  Haisley is a very healthy eater.  Sometimes maybe even a little too cautious about what she eats.  She always ask if something is healthy before she eats it.  She loves almost all fruits and veggies, and could care less about almost all sources of protein.  She doesn't like meat of any kind or eggs.  She will eat cheese!
Sleeping:  She wins!  Haisley is our best sleeper.  Goes to sleep on her own after praying and I'm convinced that she would sleep til 8 o'clock if Camille and Benton didn't wake her.
We love our precious girl so much.  She is so anxious about everything, which she gets from me.  We pray for her anxious heart to trust the Lord!!  When I was little, I was so anxious about everything that my parents made me remember scripture about it.  That is probably our next step.  I'm talking about the girl is scared to go to the bathroom by herself...  Anyway, we are thankful that the Lord entrusted her to us.  Blessed beyond measure!!

4th of July 2017

We had a very lazy 4th of July.  Mark did some work on the house, and I took the babies to the pool.  We decided with some friends that we wanted to shoot some fireworks.  We did it in the field beside WMR Elementary School.  Bob was teaching the kids how to run from the police in the event that we got arrested.  It made for a very eventful night for the kiddos!

Put your hands up and on the car!

Rosemary Beach 2017

Our sweet friend, Heidi, invited us to her beach house about a week ago.  It was Camille's first beach trip and SHE LOVED IT!!  All the kids did, actually.  Our babies were shockingly well-behaved!!!  They loved the beach, the pool, the eating, and playing with friends!  We're so blessed to get a free beach trip with our friends!
