Good Bye Boat....

We have decided to sell our boat. Today a nice young family came to purchase it. It was sad, but we just don't take it out as much as we originally thought we would. We made some special memories with this family boat. Hopefully it's new owners will create lots of fun memories on the local lakes.

 

We are having a family BBQ tomorrow. K & I made a pasta salad tonight for our BBQ tomorrow. He took several taste test to make sure it tasted alright. Then he had a little plate of pasta salad. K loves the bow tie pasta, olives, and feta cheese. He's just like his daddy.

 

I love having my little sous chef in the kitchen with me.

We have a new family member!

We have a new family member! She is 6 weeks old. She is an English Bulldog. We have named her Makena:

K and Makena have already become best friends!

We took her to the vet to get checked out. She is still too young for her shots.

Makena's first bath!

She did really well. No crying at all.

Precious puppy.

She loves to sleep on her back.

 

Wow, my hubby went to go pick her up from the breeder, and he definitely picked out the best puppy for this family! She is such a calm, and quiet puppy. She's a lover and a snuggle bug. The only time she barks is when she needs to go out, the only time she cries is when she's hungry. All of our animals tend to get closest to my hubby ( he's such an animal lover), but I think this puppy is going to be a mama's girl! We've been so busy lately. We've moved, we went on vacation, we are switching K's schools. It's been a little crazy. We thought a new puppy would help K with all the transitions. I was a little hesitant about getting a puppy, but this little girl fits into our family perfectly. Welcome to your new home Makena girl! We love you!

 

Post of the day

I was reading through some posts today and read this quote:

"Look at people with your heart. Your eyes might be missing something."

There was no name at the bottom of the quote. But, I enjoyed how powerful the words were.

What does " naughty " mean Mama?

After we got home from picking K up from school, he asked me two questions:

K: What does " whatever " mean Mama?
Mama: Where did you hear that word?
K: Shane said, " Whatever K." ( Shane is K's buddy at school)
Mama: It is a lazy word. There are strong words, and lazy words. You should try to use strong words. Try not to use lazy words. Whatever means it does matter.
K: What does " naughty " mean?
Mama: Where did you hear that word?
K: At school.
Mama: Who said that word?
K: Shane.
Mama: It means that you are doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
K: Oh, okay. I told Shane he is naughty. And Shane told me, whatever K.
Mama: Lol, okay. ( I'm not sure in what context he heard those words, but he sure remembered how he used them once he heard them! It's so interesting how much toddlers can pick up by just listening.)

K's Last day of preschool at this school

Today was K's last day of preschool at this school. He got his teacher some beautiful flowers, and he said good- bye to all of his buddies.  I'm not sure if he completely understands that he will not be going back. It hurts my heart to see him say good- bye to his school friends, but I just have to keep telling myself it will be a good thing in the long run, he will make more friends at his new school :)

His first teacher, Miss Samina.

 

Miss Samina put together all of his art projects that he finished recently, so he could take them home with him.

 

He painted, and put glitter on this starfish.

He got a beach ball bag.

He glued shells to this contact grid.

                                               

He painted and glued this pirate face.

He painted this crab!

He painted this pirate ship and glued these clouds!

 

I'm so proud of my lil man! His teacher said," He is very intelligent, funny and smart. Making friends is easy for him. He enjoys art projects and listening to stories. I enjoyed having the honor of being his first teacher, and I enjoyed his smile." We gave her hugs good-bye, and she looked as if she was having as hard of time as I was. :(  I am so happy that she was his first teacher! And that she made his first experience in school a GREAT one! Thank you Miss Samina!
