It's Fall

Summer is officially over and it hit me in the face today, while it was nice and sunny outside it was also incredibly windy and cool. My yard is starting to look more and more like a gigantic pile of leaves and for the life of me I cannot find our rake!

Noelle started preschool at the beginning of September, she absolutely loves it. It is a faith based preschool in Bremerton and so far none of us could be happier, well except for Bry who wishes she could stay and paint with Sissy! (That is the first thing Noelle does once she gets to school, well after picking out her name tag and washing her hands of course!) It's only two days a week but I basically have to force her to hug and kiss me goodbye and drag her out of there when it's time to leave. She loves her friends and her teachers, as well as painting, snack time and outdoor play! She can draw people really well, I love it when she draws me! I love my big girl and I am so proud of her! I can't believe she is going to be four years old in February. It kills me how fast she is growing up. I remember back to the night we found out we were pregnant with her, to the day she was born, to her first smile, first steps and the development of her insanely funny personality. She is forever going to be my baby no matter how much she argues with me when I tell her that!

Brylee is growing like a weed, she is getting taller and taller but hasn't caught up with Sissy yet! She is potty training and doing wonderfully, she loves to put her pull ups or big girl panties on and loves to flush the toilet and wash her hands! I am not pushing her like I pushed Noelle, I decided I would let her show me when she was ready and I think she will be potty trained very soon at the rate she is going now. She knows most of her ABC's and she can count to 10 on her own, I love listening to her sing all of her favorite songs, right now it's: "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,X,Y,Z" She sings that super fast over and over! She loves to draw and paint but the most entertaining thing she does is rides her bike like a crazy person, she can seriously fly through the house on that thing!

On another note we decided awhile ago to take our house off of the market because we were burnt out from the two bad experiences we have had with selling. We don't have to move because we are expecting orders to stay here. October 1st we should actually have the orders, but Ben is out to sea so I am just waiting for an email to let me know what's up!

My sister and her boyfriend are engaged, so a BIG CONGRATS to Rachel and Chad! They are getting married in August 2010. I am so excited for my sister, she found a man she is extremely happy with and they just click wonderfully. I cannot wait to share this special day with my sister, she means the world to me and I can't wait to watch her walk down the aisle. Which reminds me, next week I am going to start allowing the gym to kick my butt, or tummy and arms rather, into shape, I want to look smokin' in my bridesmaids dress!

I guess that's it for now. I am super busy with school, ths semester (only in week 6 out of 15) is already showing me the last few courses I'm going to have to take are super serious stuff that requires a lot of attention and studying, so I better get to it!

Peace. Love. And Happiness to you all!
