Brooklyn Starts Preschool

This August Brooklyn started preschool! She loves it (and so do I)! Beckham started in the summer to help him with his speech and OT and Brooklyn has been waiting ever since to be able to go to! She is in a different class than Beckham and loves her teacher Ms. Jennifer. I hear Brooklyn say that she likes being the helper. I am glad she loves to learn. She is a bright girl and will be so smart as she continues to get older.

Happy 8yrs!

Well we made it! Another year has come and gone. I can't believe Clark and I have been married for eight years. There have been so many experiences we have gone through together and I think we were a perfect match to go through them. I think we have moved 7 times in our eight year marriage and hopefully we are done for a long long time. We love Nashville! We have had three kids together and have learned the ways of parenting together. We have had our ups and downs but in the end we know that the Lord had plans for us. That we were meant to be together and love one another.

We enjoyed a quick little dinner date to J Alexanders and man did it not disappoint! It was yummy and having a little alone time was a bonus too! To many more years...

Brooklyn gets Potty Trained

So the time finally came for Brooklyn to get out of those diapers and get potty trained! One day in May she told me that she needed to go to the bathroom and so that day we started! It was a lot easier starting since she was ready and willing! Yay for saving money!! I'm so proud of her!
