A BIG WEEK!

We had an eventful week at the Julander house this week! Dallin's Birthday was on sunday! He turned two! I can't believe he's that old. He still seems like a baby to me. Probably because I don't have another baby to make him seem grown up. It's kinda weird! He's such a fun kid. He is starting to repeat everything we say in his little gibberish way. He is so animated and has the best faces ever. He keeps us on our toes. He and James are best buddies and play swords and guns all day. Dal is such a good sport. He takes a lot from his older siblings, but he can dish it out just as well. He's a tough kid and I love that. He is also so sweet. His hugs and kisses melt my heart! His dimply grin has the same effect. I just love my kiddos.

They make me so happy and proud!

Next my sweet James started kindergarten! Oh...I feel so old! I'm not a cryer and neither is he. We both started the day excited and happy. It was so fun to see how eager he was. He loves his new teacher. In fact I think he might have a little crush! :) He seems to enjoy school and the long days have yet to be a problem (all day kindergarten). I think he is definitely worn out when he gets home, but always excited to talk about what went on at school! It's kinda weird only seeing him a few hours a day. I think Dal and Ragan miss him too. Dal asks "Mames?" and Ragan seems a little lost as to what to do and play with just Dal around. She's used to Brooke and James being around to play with. (Brooke, the little girl I have babysat for three years, started school too).

Finally, on Wednesday, Ragan started school too. Preschool that is. I decided to send her this year as well as next. For one because it saves me a spot at Little Wonders Preschool which we loved for James. Two she is a social bug. She loves the time with other kids and she loves to learn too. I think it will be really good for her. Three it gives me some alone time with Dal twice a week. I think that will be strange (to only have one kid home) but good for me and Dal and Pete. Mondays I'll get time with Dal, and Wednesdays (when I work) Pete will get time with him. We're all excited for these new transitions. The structured mornings have made it a whole lot easier for me to get my workout in too! I already have to get up and out the door by eight thirty, so it makes sense to just go straight to the gym! It's great. I love structure and schedules. I know I'm weird! But we're all happy!

These pics, I just couldn't pass up posting. My little super heroes! Ragan cracks me up! James is showing off his Star Wars moves!

And last but not least another POLL! I am entering a contest to win a Team spot for goDigital Scrapbooking. I made two layouts with their kits. I need a vote on which I should enter! I so can't make a decision by myself, pathetic I know! HELP ME OUT! I actually don't love the kit. It's a little too frilly for me, but I have to use what they supply!
