Look Out Cinnamon Hills Preschool

Malaki started preschool on sept 14th. He attends Cinnamon Hills Montessori Preschool in rapid city. He goes tuesday and thursdays. It was one of the hardest times for Me, his mama. He had no problems and could not wait to go in and have a good time. He has been looking forward to starting school. He gave me a big hug and walked away with a huge smile and I walked away bawling. He has been doing great and makes the teachers laugh every day with his amazing personality and imagination.I can't wait

Off he goes without looking behind
His school is back up on a hill in a church, this marks the spot for school.


The school
Let's do this


Great Weather/Great Company

It was great to spend some hot summer days surrounded with some great company. Mak's cousins and aunt and uncle. They always had a great time together. From playing in our backyard to going to the park lake they always left us giggling.Go Soph Go

Nala the beast

Jumping Beans

If i pull this branch i think i can climb this

Are we suppose to swim in this... Well mak thought so and everyone else followed

Hey good thing we have a lifeguard on duty


Lake Days.......

The best part of the summer is going to the lake and enjoying some sun and the nice cool water. Malaki just loved to jump right in and go go go. swimming with the yellow submarine
I can conquer this lake

Digging my castle


I need a surf board




Ahhhh I love the lake

Let It Sparkle

Mak's first fourth of july shooting off fireworks was a lot of fun. He loved the sparklers, but was a little afraid of the things that shot off in the air, so he would take off running after it was lit, and once it was high up in the air then he thought it was cool. if you dont have pants on they cant catch on fire.
Mom and Grandma doing sparklers

Everybody RUN!!!!!


Always safe with papa

Dad showing mak how to do it right and stay away from people with the lit sparkler

Mom and Mak ( I jumped back after the picture mak's sparkler was a little close to my foot)

Look at these mama

Dad come a little closer and i'll fix those eye brows

"Did you ever love someone so much you'd give it all for them"

The countdown has finally begun. Chris will be home in 8 days. It has been a long road, with a lot of ups and downs, but it is finally over. Chris has made it possible for us to finally be home owners and finally have money for a honeymoon, as well as some other things. He has sacrificed alot of time away from us to make these dreams possible, and like my quote " did you ever love someone so much you'd give it all for them". I think we all know his answer. Chris we pray you will return home safely to us and not leave for a while. :) LOVE YA!!!!
