Jaylee rides the bus...

After a month of driving the girls to school and walking Jaylee to her class room door and all the crying she braved up and now rides the bus to school with Faith in the mornings. No more tears:)

My baby is 6 years old!

On Sept 27 Jaylee turned six years old. Jaylee had fun celebrating her 6th birthday at peter piper with her cousins. Faith was so cute about Jaylees birthday this year. Faith wanted to spend her very own money to buy Jaylee a dreamlight, so she worked really hard and saved her money and did just that! It made me so happy to see the look on both of thier faces when Jaylee opened her dreamlight:)

Jaylees 1st day of kindegarten!!

my little baby bird leaving the nest....this broke mine and her heart:(

This was a much anticipated day for everyone. Faith was sooo over the moon that Jaylee was now going to be going to school with her. Jaylee talked about going to kindergarten the entire last year of preschool. Jaylee was soo excited and couldnt wait to be a big kid and go to big kid school like her big sister Faith. As for myself I never thought I would be the type of mom that would be unnerved about her baby starting kindergarten, but I nearly came apart at the seams. Jaylee bawling and clinging to my legs didnt help the matters, but kindergarten is such a milestone and Im so proud of both of my girls!
