Yearly Pictures

I can't believe it's been a year since I took 'school pictures' of the kids. [It's so much easier and cheaper if I do it myself.]

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. It took less than 30 minutes and I got at least one picture of each kid that I really liked.

 I'm surprised we were able to get any cute pictures of Isaac, he was being a booger and didn't want to cooperate, but we got some cute ones!

 Less than an hour after this picture was taken Cosette decided she wanted a haircut and cut her own hair. Again. Thankfully she didn't cut very much off so now she has a cute little bob.

I told the girls to give Isaac a kiss on the cheek and he flipped out. Not happy about it.

Call Me Maybe?!?!

So I was sitting outside chatting with friends thursday while the kids played when I got a call on my cell from a number I didn't recognize. I answered it only to hear this little voice ask if this was Debbie's mom and then ask to talk to Debbie. I called Debbie over and told her she had a phone call and she matter-of-factly said, "Oh, that's Talmage, he's calling because we're going to have a playdate." Then she took the phone from me and promptly walked off to chat with Talmage. I was so shocked! First of all, she gave her number to a boy, and then he wasted no time in calling her! After about 5 minutes I convinced her to give me the phone so I could talk to his mom and I got on the phone in time to hear Talmage's mom in the background saying, "Wait, you called her ALREADY?" Haha, these kids were ready to do this! So Debbie had a playdate at Talmage's house yesterday. I guess his mom volunteers in their class and when Debbie found out she was his mom she hurried and wrote down her number AND ADDRESS and said, 'call me.' What?!? Where did this girl come from?!? I only wish I had a tiny bit of her confidence.

So Sweet

Chad was tired last night...

 Cosette gave him her baby doll as he was falling asleep...

 And he was SOUND asleep...

How It Went

Cosette's teacher (Miss Dorie) emailed this picture to Chad and me yesterday. Cosette LOVED school. So much that she cried when we picked her up, she was so mad to see us, haha. Hopefully she enjoys it as much today.

A New Era

Cosette started preschool today! She has been SO excited. I mean, through-the-roof EXCITED. Her teacher sent her a letter in the mail a couple weeks ago and Cosette hasn't been able to stop talking about preschool since. And she thinks it's pretty cool that she goes to the same school as daddy. :) [We were really excited when we got the phone call saying that Cosette got into BYU's preschool.] I think it will be really good for her. I walked her to class today and I was expecting some leg-holding, some shyness, and most of all a huge attatchment to 'babydoll.' There was none of it! She walked right it, confident as can be, and couldn't hardly be bothered to give me a goodbye. I'm going to pick her up in a minute so we'll see how the first day went!
