Update

I got some news yesterday that my brother has melonama. They are sending him to Houston to see what his options are. I haven't talked to him yet but I am sure he will be okay. So be sure and say a prayer for him.....I love him dearly. We don't get to see each other but he knows I love him.

My sister n law, Angelica, is now 22 weeks pregnant and her last ultrasound showed that the baby was just fine. She had gotten some scary news at her 15 week check up but the dr said that everything looks fine. The baby was being a little stubborn and wouldn't uncross her legs but from the heart beat and everything else, we might be having another little princess in the family. But we will know for sure early next month.

Brady has football tryouts coming up and we are enrolling Aryn Paige in gymnastics. I tried to talk her into doing dance but she keeps saying she wants to be a cheerleader...so gymnastics it will be! I did gymnastics for many years and loved it and I am sure she will too! Maybe later I can talk her into trying dance...we will see! That is all for now! -Nicole

Aryn's 1st Day of school

Aryn was soooo excited about going to school everyday like her brother this year. So Saturday we had to go shopping to get new shoes, socks and a pretty dress for her first day. Well, I got her school calendar and realized that the first week was color week and she had to wear red on Monday. Well, her pretty new dress is very pink. So here are some pics and yes, this is a 4th of July dress but it is red and she HAD to wear a dress. Still looks so sweet!

Ummm, Britney?!

Sal got sick of his hair and got out the clippers on Friday night! Doesn't this pic look like Britney when she lost her mind?! I thought it was funny and had to share. But it looks so good...kind of when he was in the Air Force.

Sweet Aryn

This morning Aryn got to go and meet her teacher and see her new classroom. Brady had Mrs. Ashby and we love her! She is such a good teacher and so good with the kids. Anyway, the moms stood around and talked while the kids played and checked out all the neat stuff in their room. Monday will be her first day of Pre-K and she will be going 5 days a week. She is so excited and so ready for big school. When we were dropping Brady off this morning, she saw a little girl in her sweet Catholic school uniform and she said 'Mommy, will I get to wear that next year?' I told her she would and she grinned from ear to ear!! So stinking cute!!! I will add some pics of her first day on Monday. I snapped one this morning but she wouldn't let me take my camera to her school this morning...go figure! Have a great weekend! -Nicole

1st Day of School

Today was Brady's first day of 3rd grade. He said he was excited but really nervous too. But he had such a good day!!! He said he was really excited about getting to eat at the salad bar this year...funny, huh? And they also get to play in the big field on odd numbered days. Aryn will start next Monday but she gets to meet her teacher this Friday. She can't wait! She keeps reminded me that we need to go an buy her some new shoes, big bows and dresses. Where does all that come from? I was never that girly!!! :) -Nicole

Sunday Fun

Yesterday I took the kids and one of Brady's friends to the pool. Aryn decided to be brave and just jumped right in. She is still swimming with floaties but is doing so good...by next summer she will be swimming without, I am almost certain of it. Anyway, she keeps telling us that she will go down the slide and off the diving board when she turns 5 but she actually did it yesterday!!!! She was so cute and I was so proud of her. She would go down the slide, get out and go off the diving board, swim the entire length of the pool and do it all over again. She is so fearless!!!
Courtney came over with her two sweet girls. This was the first time we got to see the new baby, Lola. Sofie ( 2 1/2) and Aryn played while Court and I got to sit and chit chat. Her girls are precious! I really miss that little baby stage. :( But with all the new babies here and on the way, I will get my fix!!! Here is a pic of me and Court and the kids!!!
Gotta go for now, my new neice is on her way over....got to get dinner done and get my kids cleaned up before they get here.

70's Party

We went to a 70's party on Saturday night and let me just say it was so fun!!! It was hilarious to see everyone in afro's and orange or powder blue tuxedos. The party was a fundraiser for Trinity junior high. Friends of ours do a 'themed' party every year and decided to donate all the funds to the school. We had such a good time!!! Here are some pics! I will post the whole album to my Shutterfly when I have a few extra minutes.
