Luch with cotter

Last week we got to go to lunch at Cotter's school. It was a blast! He loved showing us his school and friends. He had come home from school the day before and said that he didn't want to go to school tomorrow, I was so surprised cause Cotter loves school. He then told me he got lost after lunch walking from the cafeteria to the playground. I thought that was so sad. So We had to go with him to make sure he didn't get lost again.

Yummy spaghetti and apples. Cruz couldn't set his chocolate milk down.

QJ's Princess Party

Once upon a time there were 3 princesses and a fairy godmother who wanted to make a little girls birthday dreams come true.

The little princess was turning 4, and she wanted to party like never before. She was the fairest in the land, with Queen like qualities. She invited her friends to tea.
It was the tiniest tea, absolutely perfect for her beautiful company. She had the fanciest Cake, Made by her friends in the woods. A bird, a mouse and fox. Sandwiches, crackers all kinds of good eats, strawberries cookies all kids of good treats.
They started to eat not a sound We could hear. We knew it would happen Happiness was near. Sprinkled with fairy dust they began to glitter. Outside the animals began to twitter. They finally had their magical powers, to free and to help all the poor souls in towers.
A day to remember filled with Royalty. Her friends brought gifts to show their Loyalty. She had everything her precious heart desired, her Friends were so thoughtful even though it wasn't required. Then the ball began and they Danced all around. Where was their prince charming? He was no where to be found. They sang and they played they didn't care at all. They were beautiful and they knew it. Boys would just ruin it. After the party was over the princess still twirled. She felt like she was in a cloud above all the world. She laughed and she smiled and she started to say, "thank you, thank you for this wonderful day"!

Seeta

This is my Grandma, we call her Seeta. She is with out a doubt the most amazing, inspiring, thoughtful, sweet, hilarious, hero, spiritual being on earth. I love her to pieces and I admire her everyday! I could go on for days how incredible this woman is but for now I will wish her Happy 60th Wedding Aniversary. She never fails to amaze me!

The tooth fairy?

Cotter lost his very first tooth while eating his Pizza the other night. We have been working on that tooth for a while so he was pretty excited that it finally came out.He thought the whole toothfairy thing was pretty cool! Money at our house means more Gumballs from the Gumball machine @ Papa and Juju's! Way to go big boy!

Quici's first day of preschool

Presenting: Miss Quinci Jae Patterson. Preschooler!

Today was her day! She has watched Cotter get dressed and go to school with his backpack for the last two years and she has always wanted it to be her. Well today it was her turn! She could not have been more excited! She woke up happy and ready to conquer the world of alphabet and numbers! She had her backpack, her happy face, she picked out her outfit all by herself, and was ready to gain some knowledge! So happy for you Q! Your day finally came!

It took me three times to get a good picture of her. She kept blinking. Oh well, third times a charm! She was so excited...can you tell?
