pics...pics...pics... finally!

wow.... Wednesday is over already...and so is half of august by the way!!! time flies...doesn't it???

today was my little mans first day of second grade... so i went to work late so i could personally drop him off to his class.... since kindercare usually takes him to school, this was a great treat for me... he was so excited for school to start, he woke up early this morning and was so "awake" compared to grumpy like he has been.... he takes after me, you know...not a morning person!!! he had breakfast at home and then off we were to school... and when we got there...he was ready for me to go.. all i heard a few times was "bye mom, I'll see you later".... and i kept saying, I'm staying till you go in your room.... :)~ that's my guy!!! so independent... i love it!!! so i stayed to watch him go in his class and even got a kiss on the cheek from him in front of his classmates....told him i loved him and off i went to work.... at the end of the day, he said he had a great day and that his teacher is very nice... so it was a great beginning to second grade...

anyway here's a few pics of his first day in second grade....

today was also mothers day in Costa Rica... so happy mothers day to anyone reading this that is a mother... i was lucky enough to get out of work on time to meet my mom and sisters for dinner at olive garden.... what a great way to celebrate mothers day... both my sisters (and little b), my awesome mommy and with my son.. too bad mark and jay were at work...

Noah said that his mothers day gift to me would be that he was going to try extra hard in tae kwon do today to do great high kicks and his form all the way through by himself... which he did... i told him i loved my gift!! i couldn't have asked for anything better.... it was perfect!!!

and below this post you'll see the slide show that i made for my pics from the karaoke party that mark and i threw this past Saturday!!! it was a hit... i keep getting questions like, when is the next one??? well, i think i better let my liver heal from this one!!! phew.. i had a lot of alcohol... i finally passed out around 1 am!!! but Kimmy and ted karaoke'd till 330 am!!! die hards!!! mark was up with them till they called it a night (well i guess they called it a morning!!!) what a great time!!! thanks to everyone who participated!!!! couldn't have done it without ya!!! and special thanks to my brother teddy!!!! thanks for letting us use your karaoke mics....
