THANKS WINN FAMILY

Julie mom (Jess' mom), Aubrey, and Andrea flew out here on Tuesday! They're going to watch the boys while we're on our cruise. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! They are hilarious and Kade is so excited to have "3 mom's" while we're gone.
The other day when we came home from Karate I couldn't find anyone...then I hear Lukes little voice coming from behind the shower curtain...and little laughs--he's not the best at hide and seek. (that explains the picture of the three of the in the shower!) The boys LOVE them! YAY! Thanks again!
Also...here's a cruise weather update:
So...turns out there's been hurricane action down in Florida right? Well, the port we're leaving from was closed yesterday....but re-opened today! YAY! So we're good to go cause the weather is moving away from our area.

KARATE

So Jess and I are starting Karate! (We're super good so far--just trust me!) :) We're both so excited! Anybody else done karate and have tips for beginners? We learned a few blocks and self defense moves and cool stuff with the bo....we love it so far!

Our Scooter!

My SCOOTER STALLION!!!

So I LOVE OUR COOLEST NEW SCOOTER! At first I was totally lame on it and it made Jess so nervous when I drove it. He'd say, "just please try not to tip it" I couldn't make any promisses but I didn't want to do that either! Anyway--I didn't tip it once, and I'm not nervous to drive it anymore! I love it! YAY. SCOOTERS ARE AWESOME!

Kade's First Day of School!

So Kade just started school on Monday! He's been excited for like a year so it couldn't have come sooner--for him. I was so worried and just wanted to tell the teacher, "now listen, he's so special and you need to spend all your time on him and make sure he's happy all the time....." but I refrained. I followed him around all morning with the camera and when I dropped him off at school I just couldn't stop! I love being so excited because he's so happy!!! I know I would have stayed in the foyer all day if it hadn't been for my dentist appointment. I just wanted to watch him interact with all the kids ALL DAY LONG! At any rate he loved it and loves going everyday. His schedule is Mon-Fri from 9:30-1:30. He's most excited for tomorrow because it's "Fun Friday" and they're making pancakes for a snack. He sounds so grown-up sometimes, yesterday he said, "you know, Mrs. Nikki wore glasses the first day, and didn't today....that makes me curious." It made me giggle. Anyway--He loves school!

Happy Birthday To Me!

So Friday was my 26th birthday. First off, I just wanted to tell mom--thanks for doing all the hard work, and second, thanks mom and dad for all the hard work that came after the pushing! My entire life has been so happy and I owe it to you both! Thanks for all the patience and love and trust. I love you sooooooooooo much!!!
