| All I want for 2nd grade is my two front teeth! Ava lost her 4th tooth at school yesterday! |

| My Kindergartener and my 2nd Grader! |
I spent the day with the girls at their schools. First was Ava, she had a game day! Twister, Chutes and Ladders, Heads up 7up (that was always my favorite!), and so on! Ava LOVED that I was there! She still likes me coming up to school and having lunch with her as well as coming to volunteer in the classroom. Hopefully that lasts for a while. The only thing I don't like...how all the little kids try to huddle around me during lunch. My lunch was coughed on at least 15 times and then a boy from her class threw up! If I end up sick, again...we'll see if I ever volunteer in the classroom again! Kidding, maybe!
Layla had her Preschool graduation, today. Insert next cliche remark, now. But she's my baby! I have to, she's growing up way too freakin fast! We weren't going to start her in Kindergarten next year, we didn't think she was ready. But, her teacher thinks she is ready and will surprise us, so we registered her and decided it would be better for her to repeat Kindergarten than another year of pre-k. I'm just so protective over her, mostly I don't think I'm ready for her to start "real" school...but she is so excited! She's not a baby anymore!

| Layla's PreK class...it was "dress like your favorite character" day! |
I wish I could go back a few years and do it all over again, that or wish I would have never tied my tubes so I could do it all over again!
I get so emotional about the girls. Walking out of Layla's classroom, I told her "this is the last time you will walk out of here, you are now in kindergarten." And then I started crying. And then the same with Ava...walking out of her school, "this is the last time you will walk out this door as a first grader!" And I started choking back the tears. My babies. Ugh, stupid cliches but it's so true. I don't like it!

| My big girl! |
I warned their teachers they would be getting something homemade from pinterest and the girls and I settled on these! I think they turned out great! Their teachers loved them! I'm sure they would have loved a pedicure more, but I don't have that kind of money to spend on 4 teachers!
It's summer, but no rest for us for at least 5 days! Tomorrow Mabel has a vet appt...she gets her rabies shot and microchipped...on Monday, I get to take those records to base housing and we will get our actual number on the waiting list. So, as long as they don't offer us a house on Monday, very unlikely...we are leaving for Texas early Tuesday morning and will be there early Wednesday morning. Moving to the East Coast doesn't cut down on any time driving...and of course, we are driving straight through...it's just what we do! Hopefully Mabel is up for that!

So yeah, on Wednesday, we will be "home"!
And in other big news! Jason has an estimated date that he will be HOME BY! It is in September but I'm not going to share it publicly, obviously! It will probably change, but it's still 2 months earlier than expected! We are two months into the deployment and so far it has flown by. Being busy and on the go really helps! Too bad it's not the same for Jason, his days are dragging and he's having a hard time sleeping...he says it's just too hot! I wish there was a way I could make it better for him...but I can't.
So, maybe I will write on Monday, maybe I won't! ha ha. Maybe I'll write once we are in Rockport. We shall see! I'll leave you with a picture of Jason and I our Senior year in high school. An old friend found this...it was at least a year before we even started dating...he liked me sometimes...most of the time, back then...he just tolerated me! There will be many more pictures like this to come, soon! We have our high school reunion at the end of this month!
