Dayna Bug

All this talk about number one makes me not want to leave out number 2! I am not sure where I came up with that nickname, but I started saying it early on, and it just stuck!

We were at Chick fil A with Uncle Josh and Aunt Sarah, whom she just adores!!, and snapped this picture. What a doll!! I can't believe how fast she has grown up! She will be 3 in a month and I honestly don't know where the time has gone...

Lost Tooth!!


I don't remember when I lost my first tooth, but I remember it being such a momentous thing. And the waiting in anticipation for the tooth fairy! I also remember the moment I discovered the tooth fairy was not real. I lost a tooth and didn't inform the parents. I hid the tooth under my pillow and just waited. Nothing happened and I was crushed! Why I felt the need to know the truth, I don't know. I should've just gone along with it and enjoyed the fun. Well, we told Emma that the tooth fairy would be visiting her and she was so excited! The next morning she came into my room before I got up and showed me her dollar!!

Branson actually had to pull it, because it was just barely hanging on and I could see her accidentally eating it! She was fine until she saw the blood to follow. She freaked out and was a bit dramatic :o) I know......not Emma!!

First Day of School!


Emma started her first day of kindergarten on August 20th. She is having a great time!! I asked her what was her favorite part of kindergarten and she said, "Oh mama, just everything!" So cute. Here are some pictures of her in her uniform. Of course, Dayna just had to get in on it too!


Sporting the Tinkerbell backpack!

Emma left her lunchbox, not a surprise considering all the other necessary items that had to go along the first day. I thought, she will just buy lunch today. Emma started to cry a very hurt cry. So, being the sucker I am, I went all the way home and got her lunch and brought it to school. I just wanted everything to go right for her the first day. Crisis averted!!

Back To School!!!


I knew this day was coming and truthfully, I am very excited for Emma!! She is starting K-5 on Wednesday this week!! We went to orientation this past week, where she got to see her classroom and of course see who was in her class. She has been going to our school since 2 years old, just like half the kids in her class, so she pretty much knew everyone. I am doing okay with the thought that my first-born is starting school this year. I am excited to see her growing up.

I love our school!!! They have the best program I know of. I am glad the Emma gets to be a part of it all. Her teacher is amazing. Emma is very fortunate to have her.

Needless to say, we can't wait for Wednesday! Oh, yeah, Emma has a loose tooth, too!! I will post a picture as soon as that baby falls out! So cute...she told me that she needs to put it in a bucket and an angel will come and take it and give her money :o)
