Here's to the next 13 years!

I am sitting here at my computer trying to think of something clever to say about Treven's first day of Kindergarten but, I can't. All I can think of is how bitter sweet this moment really is! Treven started kindergarten this morning at 7:45 am and will be returning home at 2:30 pm. My heart is lonely and I miss him! I told myself that I wasn't going to cry, in fact I think that I was actually throwing a little party inside at the thought of only having one kid at home. Then it happened! We walk into his classroom, all is well. We find Treven's seat, all is well. His teacher asks all the parents to say goodbye and be on their way, all is well. I look at Treven to say goodbye one last time, all is NOT well! His big blues were staring right at me as if to say "Are you sure I'm safe here?" All of a sudden my heart overflows into my tear glands and water starts to drip from the corner of my eyes. I quickly give one last kiss and hug (much tighter than the ones before) and try to find the door through foggy eyes. I reach the outside and I let lose! I mean, I cried and I cried hard and I didn't care who saw or heard me (probably because I don't know anyone)! I hurried to my car and called my mom. We cried together.
What is it that makes us sad to have our children grow up?
Well Treven, here's to the next 13 years of school with many more to follow! You are a genius in our books! You will be missed at home by your mom (who feels like she lost a best friend) and by your true best friend, Maycie. We are excited for what you have in store and all the friends you will make! Take these years and make the MOST of them! Trust me, they go fast!
We love you!

Our Patriotic Pretties

Little Miss

Here is out "Little Miss".
She is 2 and owning it!
We have no idea what life would be like with out Maycie nor do we care to find out!
She is a little ray of sunshine in our family and a huge blessing!

Arizona "Red"backs

This is as offical as it gets! We live in Arizona and have the SUN BURNS to prove it! Mom better learn her lesson fast...sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen for the pasty Bassett kiddos!

Ummmmm...

...Treven, Maycie and I were outside blowing bubbles and one of them blew right at me and popped on my chest (you know what I'm talking about) and Treven says to me...
"Oh my gosh mom, that bubble just landed on your BIG (drawn out until he has no more breath)(inhale) booby!"
WHAT?
How does he know what a boob is?
Okay, so I guess he probably knows what they are by now considering that I fed Maycie with them for A YEAR!!!
But seriously, did the kid have to yell it loud enough that our neighbors over the fence busted up?
Really?
Gotta love him!

Just Busta' Move

Okay this kid has some seriously awesome moves! Just call his agent if you would like to schedule lessons. He is free most days after preschool.

Pomona or bust...

We had the privilege of taking another amazing family trip together this last week and of course I took as many pictures as you would expect from a mother and nothing less!!! And the best way I think to present them all without anyone contracting carpal tunnel from scrolling is.....a collage. Here ya go!
