Time really does fly

On Monday of this week I dropped Shyla off at her first day of preschool. Now, of course it's only 3days a week, 2hrs a day, but when it's your little girl....you can't help but think how fast this is all happening. How "big" she is. How much she's grown up right in front of your eyes, everyday, and you don't realize it.

Until one day you look at her, and you say....
Mom, "Want me to help you with your bag?"
Reply, "No mom, I got it."
Mom, "Hold my hand, I'll walk you up to your class."
Reply, "That's ok mom. I'm good. You can just stand here and watch me."

WHAT?!?!? I could have sworn it was my 4yr old I was taking to preschool not a teenager!!! Seriously, she is soo independent. She reminds me soo much of myself. She's become a really big helper, and she loves to play and take care of her brothers. She is such an fun, outgoing, and sweet girl and I'm so lucky to be her mother. I have learned soo much from her and she continues to keep me on my toes everyday.





I love you Shyla Marie!! My sweet baby girl!

Shyla turns 4!

Shyla is 4yr old today!! I can not even begin to tell you how happy she is that her birthday has finally arrived. We woke her early this morning to celebrate with breakfast in bed, and sang "Happy Birthday" before Dad had to head off to work.

It was soo fun to see her face!

Lexton was excited to celebrate too, of course :)

Ya, I was one candle short...had to make do with what we had...It was 5am people!

We had smiles all around. Lexton could not take his eyes off the pancakes with sprinkles. :)

Even Tanner was excited about the early morning party.

And now, the house is quiet as we all enjoy a well deserved nap :)
