My first official Parent Teacher Conference: Sereniti

 I thought these were so cute and found her blonde hair quite funny!

When I came home from Phoenix's conference and told Erik about his work outside his classroom Sereniti kept bragging about her turkey, found it and she did a fabulous job!

Today was Sereniti's first parent teacher conference and her teacher was very impressed with her.  She can write her numbers quite well and was impressed by how correctly she writes her name.  I think the preschool she was in last year did wonders for her.  The only thing I was worried about was her attention span as she seems to get bored easily but her teacher said she did fine.  She just has to keep her and Taydin separated so they don't work on their social life ;)  She said to just keep doing what we were doing homework wise because it seems to be working.

My first official Parent Teacher Conference: for Phoenix

 This is his pic he has outside his door, look at his handsomeness!

This is his scarecrow he has been tellin me he's made at school, I had the biggest grin on my face bein able to see what he shows off to the school in the hallway!


Yesterday I had Phoenix's parent teacher conference which I was excited about, man my kids are growin up!  At the beginning of the year we set goals to help him with his behavior, his attention, and his speech.  All of his scores were 50% or higher, man was I proud.  His teachers have never seen the kid they met the first day (messes and not listening), yay!  He has a harder time following directions in larger groups (actions to songs and such) but put him with just 2 or 3 people where he has more individualized attention and he rocks =)  We made a goal to have him sit in a chair for 4min, as he has way too much energy and he's up to 1min sometimes 2min.  It may not seem like a big deal to some people but for me to see my son is making progress is awesome.  His speech is getting better, he is using more 2, 3 and 4 word sentences.  His speech is a little more clear, as my husband has pointed out since I can understand him almost always.  After all his seizures and having them slowly set him back he's movin forward and this mommy couldn't be prouder!

Still in shock.................

Looky Looky!  I am so excited!!!  Still hasn't completely set in, prob wont till I get it confirmed by a doc.  Although signs have popped up all month I have tried to ignore them, but now the feelings made sense.... Ahh baby # 3!!!!!!

Woo Hoo Khalib!

 Khalib got his advanced blue belt in taekwondo we are so proud of him!

We don't normally get to watch his competitions and awards things so I was tickled pink when I went to pick him up and found out he hadn't tested yet, Erik couldn't be there but I was able to get his accomplishment on film.

Phoenix's first day of school

 Phoenix started his second yr of preschool, this yr he gets to go to a regular elementary which he loves.  He says he goes to school like Sereniti.

Ha Ha caught him mid word!  He even gets to ride the bus this yr, though for some reason he isn't a fan of it he'd rather I just took him.  He loves school yet yearns to be home with mommy....

Fair Day!

 We always go to the fair as my mom's bday party since it comes around her bday.  This yr when we got there, this bee was walking around giving stickers to kids (I don't remember what the reason was) and he decided to hop on our stroller so Erik took him for a bit of a ride.  The kids, my bro and I couldn't stop laughing!  After the bee left Erik was like  WTF was that for?

 The kids loved all the rides, it was great.  This yr we got to bring Khalib which totally made his wknd.  It is crazy to think about how much he's grown, he is in the inbetween rides phase so I enjoyed a few rides with him.

 Phoenix was excited to go high with the family, he kept laughing.

My lovely bro doesn't like his pic taken but I made him and this is the face I got.  Sereniti kept looking over the edge and sayin "Look how high we are I can see the city!"  I love family times!

Sereniti's first day of school

 Sereniti started kindergarten this yr!  My baby is growing up.  Typical mom cried a few times but by the time school got out I had excepted it. 

She loves kindergarten, especially since she gets to be in the same class as her "cousin".  We always wanted our girls to be best friends and now that we live in the neighborhood these gorgeous girls are gonna break the boys hearts.
