I'm a big boy now....

As the days, weeks, months and years fly by my baby gets that much bigger. I can not believe that he is already in 1^st grade. Full time school, no more Mommy & Daddy in class with him every now and then. It’s time to be a big boy now.

Wednesday was most definitely bitter sweet for me..I love the fact that he is so independent and self confident, but yet I feel less needed in a way. I know this is not the case, because he reassures me of his need for my love everyday when I get home from work. Yet, it still is so hard watching your little one grow up so fast. It feels like yesterday when he would “demand” milk in his sippy cup (warmed up of course)… I love you E and Mommy is so proud of who you are growing up to be. I wish you a wonderful, fun, and joyful year as a first grader!

Yes, it was that time again...The Annual Lockwood "Amaya, Dubon, Venturina, Blanshine" trip. Wow, I tell ya we just keep growing...darn baby makers..lol All 62 of us had so much fun, the weather was awesome and the water was amazing! There is nothing like 78 degree water when it's 115* out. I have an amazing family and I love them oh so much. All of the kids had a blast and as always I was so happy to be able to share this moment with my kids and hubby.

A little family history behind why we go during this time is for my Grandma, who celebrated her 71st. Following her birthday is my Mom's birthday and Mom & Dad's anniversary! Happy 29th mom and Dad...I love you guys so much and I thank you for all that you do for us. Oh, and I took my God daughter with us who celebrated her 6th bday! Love you Mariyah.

This time around I really didn't take to many pics, mostly because we were at the lake most of the time. I will have to post more once I collect them from everyone.
