Swimming, swimming, and more swimming!

We've been swimming so much since we got back to the desert, I'm loving the pool! Layla has been doing so good with swimming and will hopefully not even need a float by the end of summer.

Mommy's night out!

Last night Desirae and I decided that we needed a mommy's night out. We had the best time ever! We started at Cheesecake factory where we shared some appetizers and a glass of wine (German wine, that is). It was so fun to just sit and talk and relax, we could have stayed there forever. After that we decided to hit up Yard House, Firehouse, and Tilted Kilt for a few drinks. It was so fun to bar hop, just the two of us. It had been awhile! We decided that we needed to start doing that once a month so I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures soon! :)

Our baby bugs hatched!

The other day when we were out planting flowers I happened to notice a bunch of eggs on a leaf. Every day since we would wake up in the morning and check on them to see if they had hatched yet. Well this morning when we went to check on them there were a million little bugs all over the leaf! Our eggs hatched! It was so neat to see and Layla loved looking at them.

Happy Memorial Day!

Today we're remembering the men and women who have lost their lives to keep us safe. Thank you to all military service members for fighting for our freedoms.

Planting flowers with Grandma!

Today Layla and Grandma had to plant flowers in the front yard. Layla loves playing with dirt so she had a blast! She found lots of worms this time and had the most fun sitting on Grandma's lap while she was trying to plant.

Layla's first day of school!

Today was Layla's first day of school! I was a nervous wreck, I couldn't even sleep last night because I was so worried about it. As soon as Layla woke up this morning she was so excited and said she wanted to get ready and go. So we ate some breakfast and got ready. As soon as we got to her school she got shy and said she wanted to go home. I explained to her that it would be fun and she would meet lots of friends but that didn't help much. I gave her to her teacher and she started crying her little eyes out so I took off so that she could get used to playing with everyone. When I went and picked her up her teacher said she did wonderful and only cried for a few minutes after I left. She had so many stories to tell me and was so happy that she made friends. I think she is really going to love school! :)
