McGwire's first day of Preschool....

So we did it.. we officially have 4 out of 6 in school!!! McGwire was so darn excited to go to school today. I should have put them both in the early preschool because every 5 minutes from the time they wake up they ask "when is it time to go to school." Does that mean they hate their home life?

For those who know Gwire he is so small. He actually fell off the charts last year and they watched him really closely over the next 6 months. If he would have stayed off the charts they were going to start doing some testing. Well in the 6 month period he grew and inch and lost 1 lb which somehow put him back on the charts (go figure). He weighs in at a whopping 25 lbs which is 1 lb smaller than his little brother Mays.

Anyway, he just looked like a little man! He was so proud to be so BIG! He was "going to school just like Maddog!" Well... he was in brushing his teeth and I started smelling something really strong.. good.. but strong. He had gotten into Mick's cologne and basically soaked his shirt. I asked him what he was doing and he simply replied, "smelling good for my girlfriends." He is 3 mind you!!! So hilarious. So after we changed his shirt we were off...

Here he is with his good friend Bo... between the two of them loving girls that little class better watch out!!!Here is he proud as can be with Ms. Jennifer. I have to add this quick information. Is she not the stink cutest thing ever? She honestly has a high school graduate. This floors me because she looks 21!!!We went with the "new" tradition and went to Smart Cookie after picking him up to get Frozen Hot Chocolate!! He can't wait for next week!

And I had to put these 2 pics of Macee's. We went to a fundraiser last night and it was so funny because one of Eric's old players at CEU named Ryan Duvall... well his wife was there, expecting their 4th (skinny and cute as she was 6 years ago!!) selling shoes. So of course being the supportive person that I am had to buy a few pairs. Macee was so excited because she got some screamin deals. Anyway... she was so proud of the outfit she put together this morning for school with her "new shoes."

Always striking a pose!!! Oh ya, and if any of you have little girls you definitely need to hook up with Rachel Duvall! Call me... I have her number. She shoes are awesome and really inexpensive!

You and I were "old news" as soon as the two of them stepped foot in their new classroom, huh?? It was humbling....that's for sure!! hee hee I'm glad they were so happy.
Macee is gorgeous. I love her outfit and the shoes are adorable. I love how girly she is... I think she's FABULOUS. :o)

I had no idea he was that tiny! He is adorable! Looks like you have had a very eventful week with all of the kids!

My mom kept both of my brothers a year later cause of their fall birthdays before starting Kindergarden. She says it was the best decision! The only downfall is that they graduate, get a call and leave for a mission all in one summer!

Okay it's your fault I have to do a blog! Jer kept looking at yours and saying, "You'll want to do one when you see my cousin Jessica's." It's a lot of fun. That being short thing is right up our alley. Hunter hasn't been on the chart for a long time. One Doc thought I wasn't feeding him. They told us about steroids etc... They just need to look at the Mom and Pop! Belle though might be the tall one, we'll see. hope to see your new one.

What an adorable little sunbeamer for his first day! He is an absolute doll! (And all your kids look alike) His happiness seems contagious!

How fun to run into Rachael! And they're expecting a boy and already have three girls! Can you believe it?

Macee is so cute to be a poser and so into fashion! (and you say you don't know where she got it-- her mom?)

I don't mean poser like her mom- but so "in" with everything like style!! :)
