September :(

September 6th- Savannah starts real preschool. I am excited for her and a little sad. I talked with her about it. She told me she is so excited and I shouldn't be sad because Jaxon and I can play in her room while she is gone. I think this makes me sad because I know this is the beginning of leaving for school. From here on out there will be a time when she isn't with me and she will be off on her own little adventure.

September 15th- Jaxon will be 2! Where the heck did the time go?! I remember being pregnant with him like it was yesterday. He is talking more all the time and watching him play with toys and spend more time doing his own thing makes me realize he needs me less and less.

September 17th- Two days after my heart breaks a little it will break again. If it seems like Jaxon turning 2 is rough, the fact that my sweet little princess is turning 4 is scary. I can't believe in a month I will have a 4 year old.

With the emotional roller coaster my life has been the past month, I am very sad for September.

Swim Lessons

Today was our last day of swim lessons. I have mixed emotions about this. I had a great time in the water babies class with Jaxon, but a heck of a time keeping Savannah in her class. She often liked to wander over to the area of the pool wear Jaxon and I were. It was nice to get out for something scheduled, but the month of bribing coming to a close is a little nice. Needless to say... Savannah did not graduate from her class and will still remain a "Pike." I think it may be a while before she is an Eel. When we got her report card her teacher felt so bad telling me "It's not that she needs work on these skills, she needs to actually do the stuff." Savannah was not a fan of trying much in the class other than talking with other kids, playing the games and holding onto the wall and kicking. Her teacher was a guy fresh out of high school and was so nice, but managing 6 three year olds for 45 minutes has got to be hard.

Sorry I have no pics of Jaxon and I. Well, I am not that sorry. I'm not a fan of bathing suit shots and the pictures I swear I have of Jaxon from a different day are on a missing sd card. If I find it, I will post them.

Family Walk

So a few days before Noah headed to Denver we went on a walk by the Perrine Bridge. Savannah LOVES this bridge and thinks it is the coolest thing ever. Here are a couple pictures.

Jaxon loves the jogging stroller

Savannah really wanted a picture with this statue
