the life of a 5 year old...

so, grace turned 5 last week... she had a great birthday and celebrated at school with her friends, then we took her out for dinner and had yummy cupcakes. on the weekend, we celebrated with nana and papa and a yummy ice cream cake. i am excited for grace, she is growing up and getting so big, but i can't believe how much she has changed. she is getting to be such a big girl. here is a look at her birthday over the years.

if only the movie could be as good as the trailer

9 months of love

weight: 18 lbs. 11 oz.

height: 26.5 inches (this might be a little off since at 6 months he was 27 inches... and being 26.5 puts him in the less than 5th percentile... hmmm)

teeth: 7 total... 4 on top (arrived within a week of each other... talk about cranky) and 3 on the bottom

seriously... who doesn't love it?

ok, so raegan had her first day of preschool yesterday. she is going 2 days a week practically at the same time as grace, so it works out perfectly that i take grace (her class starts at 11:42), then i can drive raegan over to her school (she starts at 12:30) and we can hang out and play until class starts. grace gets out at 2:42 and raegan at 3:00... it seriously works out perfect! yay! anyway, back to raegan's first day. she loved it. i wasn't too worried about her since she loves to play and will usually run away from us to get to the nursery, but lately she has been having some issues with wanting us to stay with her... well, not anymore. our first sunday in the new ward and she jumped right in to nursery and loved it. and same with preschool. didn't even look back... not even when i wanted to take her picture.

when we picked her up she said she had a lot of fun and made lots of new friends, but didn't know what their names were... she is very excited about her new backpack and the fact that she goes to preschool... not school (like grace... which is for big girls), but preschool (which is for little girls).
