{Primrose Kindergarten Graduation}

Our superstar graduated from Primrose Kindergarten! It was so surreal to think that this was his last day at the center. He started going when he was just 6 weeks old and the teachers always felt like family.

The Kindergarten class prepared a program for the night. William never really told us the details. We didn't realized that he was welcoming guests as the class' Classroom Ambassador.

I wish we knew coz we missed the first part of his "speech"...."Good evening my name is William Culler"

William's friends.

Performing songs for the guests.

Receiving his diploma from Ms. Klamon.

And his premonition award. Most likely to become a millionaire and have a long and crazy story detailing how it happened. Definitely appropriate for my animated and outgoing child!

Lil sister was so proud of William!

Our whole family couldn't be more proud of our Kindergarten. Grandmommy and Granddaddy made it to the ceremony all the way from Texas. And of course, Tita Susan wouldn't miss this lil guy's big moment.

We love you William! Looking forward to your bright future. He said he couldn't wait to graduate from college and be a smarty pant :) Us too buddy...and we will be there for you always.

{First and Last Day at Primrose Kindergarten}

So much has changed from first and last day. William was very lucky to have passionate teachers this school year. Ms. Tegan (Director of school) kicked off kindergarten and Ms. Klamon came in later to finish up the school year. William can not only recognized sight words but he's learned to sound out words and makes every attempt to read it. I love how eager he is. I can't wait for him to start kindergaten at big elementary. I am sure he will enjoy every bit of challenge.

{The Loft}

A couple of weekends ago we bid farewell to our loft. It was a bittersweet day. 9 years of memories. These two lil munchkins have made that place so vibrant. People usually comment that you can feel a lot of love is in that house. The loft will always hold a special place in our heart. It is the home where Ed and I got engaged, home we went to after our wedding and the home that welcomed our children as newborns. 

Lots of movies and playtimes were held in this family room.

Family dinners were enjoyed at this dining room. Lots of meals and cookies were made in this kitchen.

This room shared by the kids fostered such a strong bond between William and Samantha.

Bittersweet indeed but we are looking forward to making new memories on our new home!

Mother's Day 2013

Life lately has been busy...we sold the loft and moved into a new home. We took a break from moving boxes and my family spoiled me rotten on mother's day. Didn't get to spend the day with my own Mom, but I'm looking forward to her visit next week!

Ed took this picture of us. Love these stinkin' kids! They are a blessing. Everyday I am overwhelmed with gratitude that they get to call me Mommy!

{Samantha's 3rd Birthday Party}

Samantha's birthday this year was so fun. She knew exactly what kind of party she wanted to have and was super excited the days leading up to it. Samantha adores Hello Kitty and has always loved pizza. Last year at summer camp, William and his class did a pizza tour at Steve B's. I remember him telling me how much fun they had. I called the place and was delighted when they told me that they can do pizza tours as well for birthdays.

Here's my adorable 3 year old enjoying her big day!

Little chefs all lined up and ready for the pizza tour. The super cute aprons were purchased from this Etsy Store!

Chefs in action.

Guest enjoyed the arcade games at the restaurant too.

Birthday girl (and big brother) loved her birthday cake!

We are so blessed to be surrounded by such loving family and friends.

Samantha enjoyed her party and love all her presents!

Easter 2013

A beautiful day to celebrate the Lord with family. Funny story, I am trying my best to teach our kids the real meaning of holidays. Easter bunny and egg hunting is fun but I wanted the kids to know what Easter is about.  So Good Friday, I told William is the day that the Lord died...he freaked out and said, "what, Jesus died?" Oh my, I think I just traumatized my child! So much for trying to be all serious and righteous on holidays.

We attended our morning church service with my sister. Much easier to explain that the Lord is risen!

After mass, we started making our way south to meet family for brunch and more egg hunting. We made it just in time for the Country club's annual egg hunt. They had a small crowd of egg hunters and there were more than enough eggs for everybody.

We enjoyed brunch and it was great spending time with family. My nieces and nephew are growing up way to fast. My kids absolutely adore them.

Easter basket goodies from Grandmommy and Granddaddy are always a favorite of the kids. William got his giant Skylanders and Samantha got a sassy cat Webkins. How appropriate for her! :)

{Easter Egg Hunt 2013}

We met up with friends for breakfast and then headed to our church's annual Easter Egg Hunt. It's been raining in Atlanta and was so happy that we got some sunshine during the egg hunt.

These kids are growing up way too fast.

My expert egg hunters.

The boys were happy to take pictures with the Easter bunny.

This is the only picture of Samantha "with" the Easter bunny :)

William also got his face painted with a bunny.

Kids checking out their loot. As you can see William is already enjoying his candy!

The church's Boy Scout built this fun area around the church ground. The kids had so much fun playing in there. These slides were perfect for that steep hill. The kids had fun sliding over and over and over.

These cutie pies are so adorable. I am so glad that Teeball brought all of us together. We adore the J family. Sad that they moved up in the suburb, but so glad that we are still able to get together.

Then at night the Easter bunny came by the house to give the kids their goodies.

{St. Patrick's Day Weekend}

It was a great weekend to celebrate one of our favorite holiday with friends and family.

My family was in town this weekend and we enjoyed it. Savoring every moment we can spend with my brother Nestor. He is Baltimore bound and we couldn't be happier for all the bright opportunities that await him. We had a fun Saturday lunch at our favorite Dim Sum place in town.

My kids got lots of Lola loving this weekend. Samantha especially think that my Mom is hilarious!

We had superb weather this weekend and William convinced me that it is popsicle season.

St. Patrick's day, Ed ran the Publix half and put in some great time. 1:46 for my super speedy husband. We are all so proud of him!!!

Of course, my lil ones had to be all decked out in green in this super fun day.

We've been extremely busy this past few days and had to work quickly on William's leprechaun trap. Hopefully, mr. leprechaun will still be enticed by the pot of gold.
