Today was the BIG day for my BABY Girl.

So here's some of my fave's from today with my princess. She was really eager to go to Kindergarten this morning. She picked out clothes last night to wear. She wanted to show off her Nastia Liukin's Line from JcPenney's. One of her fave gymnasts. =) She also wanted to wear her Hot Light Skechers. She's a Skechers girl just like her Mommy. She was so ready to go to school...she had her breakfast, then she put on her school clothes without an argument, then she proceeded to put her bookbag on. She wanted to brush her teeth and hair with her bookbag on. LOL She was ready to go to school by 10am since her class doesn't start until 11:20. She got on the bus and had the biggest grin on her face. She has been wanting to ride the bus to school since she was two years old. Then Mommy and Daddy met up with her at school to see her go in. She was really HAPPY! Parents got to have a "Boo Hoo Gathering" in the Media Center thanks to the PTA. =) Mommy & Daddy will be joining soon to help out at school and help in Alexia's class. We can't wait. Now, this Mama is heading out the door to pick up her little girl and hear everything about her babygirl's first day. I'll blog more once I get all the details of her first day.

I still can't believe I'm a Mommy to a Kindergartener. Mommy is SUPER proud of you, Alexia Renee!! I love you, Alexia!!

Our little Kindergartener...Alexia Renee

September 7th is getting here pretty quickly and this Mama is not looking forward to it. Well, actually deep down, I'm excited, but also I'm sad. I'm going to have a Kindergartener in my house now. My little baby girl starts Kindergarten. I'm going to miss the few hours she'll be in school every weekday, but at least I'll know she'll be in good hands and she'll be learning ALOT. Alexia is really looking forward to Kindergarten, since she was 3 years old she's been asking when she would be attending school. She's definitely my mini-me since I loved school at her age. Hopefully though she won't have a boyfriend the first day. LOL

To Our beautiful little girl...Alexia Renee...Good Luck on your first day of school. Mommy & Daddy can't wait to see your face when you board the bus in the morning of the 7th and we get to pick you up after school and hear about everything you did in school. We are so PROUD of you, Alexia!! We know you will SHINE like you always do at new things. We LOVE you!!!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

Happy 27th Birthday to me today! =)

What a GREAT Birthday Today!

I woke up to my husband coming in from work...he got me a dozen red roses and a beautiful card. He still owes me another present, but he's waiting until next weekend since he's been working nights the past few days. He's also taking me to Texas de Brazil. Yum, I can't wait. Today I spent the day with my beautiful little girl and my friend from work, Laura. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and had some AMAZING food and of course...Cheesecake. Yum!!

A picture of the cheesecake above. It was REALLY Yummy!! We can't wait to go back again. It's been 4 years since the last time I was there.

Then we decided to head out to the Beach and walk the boardwalk, play in the water, ride some of the boardwalk rides and listen to some of the bands that were there. We loved the weather today. It was really beautiful! I love the time of year I was born...it's not too hot and not too cold. It's PERFECT!!

Also, let me not forget the giftcards, my friend Laura got me: Starbucks and Olive Garden. She knows me too well.

I want to say thank you to all my family, friends and co-workers for the "Happy Birthdays" through Facebook and phonecalls. You guys MADE my day when I woke up this morning and throughout the rest of the day.

This is the last birthday I'll be celebrating in the Navy and that makes it even more special. My next birthday I'll be a civilian and spending it with my Mom in IL. It will fall on Labor Day next year. Back in 1983 I was born on Labor Day. =)

Thank you again for everyone that made my day even more special today. Tomorrow we are going to complete the birthday weekend at the Beach...most likely the OBX.

Hope everyone has a GREAT Labor Day tomorrow.

Love,
