I'm a big kid now!

Ethan was so excited to start Kinder. I was a little sad that he was going to be gone all day, but I have gotten over it. Is that bad? We are so excited for him, he is going to be learning so much. His teacher is so nice, so I know he is going to have an awesome year.



Ready for his first day of school



Getting mad, because I was taking too many pictures




Putting his school supplies away


Eating his breakfast, the most important meal of the day

Firestation

I took the kids to visit Orlando when he was working so they could see the firetrucks. I use to always take them before my dad retired and I thought it would be cool for them now to visit their dad.

Reiley wasn't able to hold her head up with Orlando's helmet.

The Big 5

He has grown so much and we are so proud of all his accomplishments. He will be starting Kinder in August and we are so excited. He has done so well in Pre-K. I never thought he would actually be reading words. We love you so much Ethan and are so grateful to have you in our lives.

All Stars

On Saturday as soon as we got to Ethan's game, his coach came up to Orlando and told him that Ethan had been picked to play on the All Stars. We are so excited for him. He was the only one from his team that was picked. Orlando just kept telling him how proud he was of him.

This was at the closing ceremonies, they were announcing the ones who made it for All Stars.

This is Ethan's team for All Stars.

My Fireman

Orlando graduated on Friday, May 15th. When he first signed up they said there was around 800 applicants and only 20 made it. We are so proud of him. He is now a firefighter/paramedic. The paramedic program is a 2 year program and they had to complete it in 6 months. He has done so much studying and it has finally paid off. He was put on the B shift which made me happy because that was the shift my father was on. He starts working at a fire station on May 26th.

The next Bagwell!!

Ethan started playing T-ball and he loves it. His first game was this past Saturday and he did an awesome job. He is making his father proud with his love of sports.





Here is a video of Ethan's homerun.

New Hobby!

I recently started making bows for Reiley. It is so easy and fun. Here are some that I have made for her and others.

Christmas Memories

Since both of our families are here in town we get to spend time with them both on Christmas.

Biker Dude!

Ethan has always been afraid of my dad's motorcycle. Well, he finally got over his fear and went on a ride with my dad down our street. He was so excited, he just kept yelling "this is so cool." As for me, I am still a big chicken.

He's a Natural!

Ethan has been doing an awesome job. Last weekend he made three goals. He has made a total of 6 goals out of 7.

Church Halloween Party

The kids had a really good time at our church Halloween party. They got to go trunk-or-treating, ate some good chili, hit a pinata and played some games.

Future Beckham

Ethan has started to play soccer and he loves it. On his second game, which was on the day of my birthday, he made a goal. He came up to me after the game and told me he made a goal for me, for my birthday. I couldn't ask for a better present.

Love a Man in Uniform!

Yesterday was Orlando's first day at a fire station for clinicals. He was a little nervous, but he did a great job. He will be going to a fire station all this week then a hospital next week. He past by our house in an ambulance today so the kids were able to see him. They were so excited.

A little behind on blogging

Last month we took the kids to Monster Jam. Some friends of ours got free tickets so that was even better, thanks Erica and James. They had a really good time. It was a little loud for them, but they still enjoyed themselves. El Toro Loco driver threw a stuffed El Toro Loco truck to the audience and Orlando caught it for Ethan. Ethan was so happy and so proud of his dad.
