Getting ready for school

I took Kya school shopping yesterday.  We had such a great "girls" day.  Lunch at the mall, shopping for clothes and then a fun fashion show.  I asked Kya if she wanted to try on all her new clothes (special thanks to grandmas for some clothes too) and take pictures...she asked, "where are we gonna go for our pictures".  I love that she gets excited about a photo session.  She is such a goon though, most of the pictures she's being goofy in...what a funny girl.

I think this is her signature pose...its all she wanted to do when I would ask her to pose.

And then of course...my little Zander.  He started potty training yesterday and got a big boy bed.  Can't believe how fast they grow.

I bought this train table base at DI about 6 months ago for just $10...painted it to match his room and voila...a new big boy bed.

Kya's Birthday celebration

Yesterday we had a great day.  It started with Kya waking up, dressing herself and coming through her birthday streamers.

Zander fell asleep while Kya and I got ready for the party...just not his thing I guess.  But he sure is a handsome little guy.
