Tayven's first day of Preschool

Yesterday was Tayven's first day of school. He was so excited, but mommy was so sad. I couldn't believe my BABY was going to school. Never mind the fact that it is only two days a week for 2.5 hours-- he is still not at home with me!

He was such a big boy. He made me so sad because he didn't want to hold my hand nor kiss me bye! He was "embarrassed." :( Isn't he too young to start being like that? Geez. I teared up walking out of the school.

I decided to drive him to school on his first day. The bus was running behind so we arrived before the other kids.  Another girl came right after Tay did and so we were all standing in the room. Although we arrived first one of the teacher's aides took the little girl to take her backpack to her cubby.  Then another aide asked Tay his name then took him to his cubby. The first aide that took the girl came back and said "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that was Tayven! He's so .. Tall!" hehe. After that I left.

Here are some pictures:

This is him before we left the house. (Trenton had to jump in...that HAM!)

This is the preschool side of the school.

This is the most of the school.

This is him in front of the entrance into the school.

This is blurry but it's right outside of his classroom. 

This is his classroom. To the right of this there is a reading/stage area and also a dress-up/play kitchen area. Toward the back where Tay is, there is a computer mat area and to the right is the cubbies, bathroom, and door to their playground.

He rode the bus home from school, so when the bus got here we all went outside to meet him. Trenton ran up to him yelling "Tayvennnnn!" and gave him a big hug. It was so cute!! :) Then of course mommy and daddy hounded him with questions. I wanted to know EVERYTHING they did. He was annoyed with all the questions lol. Anyway, Trenton hugged him again so I snapped a pic.. 

Sweet right? Well after this Trenton punched Tayven and they started wrestling.. typical boys & brothers! hehe

He really enjoyed his day and couldn't wait to go back today!

English Muffin Pizzas

On Wednesday, we made english muffin pizzas for lunch. 

The boys helped put the toppings on. 

The tomato sauce went on first.

Titan was the audience :)

The cheese went next.

Then the pepperoni got put on after the cheese.

Mommy & Daddy's pizzas had mushrooms on it ;)

The finished products!!

Random Facts about me #7

I do not like the feeling of having baby powder or lotion on my hands or feet.

I have no idea why, but I just can't stand it!!

An update since it's been a while

This week has been crazy with school work among other things. This is pretty much my last week of these three classes (I just have a couple things to do next week).  I have a 2 final exams due and a regular weekly exam due this week, along with all of the other assignments, labs, and discussions that I already turned in.

Anyway, I figured I would give an update  =)

Tayven is doing pretty well.  He is bored at home (mostly because I've been busy with school work the last few weeks).  I really wish he was going to school this year-- only for the fact that he wants to go.  My sister, Kandi, sent us a bunch of workbooks that she got from her job, so during my two weeks off after these classes we will be working on those!

Trenton is completely potty trained at 27 months old.  I'm so proud of him! He now can go pee by himself.  He grabs the stool, places it in front of the toilet, then climbs onto the toilet and pees.  All I have to do a bit later is get him to stand and pee.  He is also talking TONS more.  He loves to talk on the phone-- it's his new thing, hehe.  He loves to "fight" (rough & tumble) with Tayven and he loves to bug Titan and make him laugh.

Titan is crazy! He is doing so many things.  He is cruising furniture now and his 4th tooth is currently popping through his gums.  He can start crawling from a sitting position and then sit down from a crawling position.  He's also trying to CLIMB onto the couch and STAND from a crawling position. Basically, he is very mobile.  He calls me mama and reaches for me and daddy.  He does not do too well around strangers, but that is because he is only around us 24/7.  He waved hi for the 1st time today! He loves to "play" with his big brothers and follow them around the apartment.  I think that's pretty much it for right now.

My hubby starts school on Wednesday.  I'm excited for him to get out of this dang house.  It'll be good for him, especially after being cooped up in the house for so long.  The boys and I will miss him though. Like I mentioned above, I get two weeks off in between these classes and the next ones, so I'm super excited to spend time with my boys and get some much needed rearranging done!

No Bueno

I've been slacking in school... 

I just don't feel any motivation to get my homework done. I don't do my "best" on my assignments and I wait till the last minute to do them. When I first started I was very into getting every single assignment done but now I am just doing things to not fail.. which is totally not good. 

I just feel like I'd rather be doing things with the kids and not worrying or thinking about what is due and when. I have a lot of other things on my mind which is also playing a part on me not being able to concentrate on school. The concentrating is really bad. I'll go to read a chapter in my textbook and don't even understand what I'm reading and have to go back and read again (this never ever happens to me..until now) and I find myself only doing one discussion topic a day, which leaves me cramming everything else that is due on the weekend. 


I need help or a break. "/

Busy Month for Titan

This month is a busy month for Titan.

So far this month, he has started crawling, pulled himself up to stand, has his third tooth coming in (the top left), and can say more sounds. He says mama, baba, the g sounds, and da.

It is really crazy that he is growing so fast.

The weird thing about this is that I do not have "baby fever." Usually when my kids hit big milestones like crawling and stuff, I start wanting another baby. I don't feel that right now.. but like my husband said, "just wait until he starts walking." lol :P I'm just enjoying him and loving it.

He loves his brothers!! Trenton cracks him up all the time. I really love seeing them interact with each other.

Hair Loss

Ok so after having Titan, I had the regular postpartum hair loss... but after awhile I noticed it was a lot more hair that I was losing than I did with the other two boys. He will be 7 months in a week and my hair is still falling out.

When I was pregnant with him I had Iron-Deficiency Anemia (which I am pretty sure I still have.. my mom & older sister are both anemic and I have the symptoms) anyway I need to make an appt. and find out what is going on.

Here is me in June

Here is me a few nights ago

It's like my hair line is receding.. :(

I told Kili that I will probably have to invest in a wig "/

He is mobile!

So.. Titan is now crawling!

Today is the first time he actually got up on his knees. He can now get around all over the living room and he loves it. :)

He loves to smile and show off his two bottom teeth. He loves his older brothers and likes to play with them. He loves to stand up! Sometimes when we try to make him sit he'll stretch out his legs because he doesn't want to.. lol. He's trying to pull himself up and almost has it. He can now say mama, baba, and the g sound. He likes to blow raspberries too :P He eats cereal with some baby food once a day and he now eats Gerber puffs.
