New Car!!! (finally) and Alice's Graduation 2009

Since time is no longer on our side, we had to go out and purchase a new and bigger vehicle, the Corolla was no longer going to cut it for 3 kids (and what comes w/3 kids? 3 bulky carseats!!). I love the new truck and so do the kids. Ron is just happy that I'm happy and it's nice to drive something that I actually get out of without rolling!!

This is Alice telling her joke to the audience. I was so proud of her! Her joke was: " What do you get when you cross an elephant and a fish? What? Swimming trunks!!" She also had to get up and tell everyone what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said she wants to be a singer!
When she had to get up during the Christmas program we couldn't hear anything she said, this time she was perfect!

We were waiting for the ceremony to start and then we turned around and there's Alice! All the girls and boys looked adorable in their cap and gowns. I know I'm her Mom, but doesn't she look beautiful??

This is her picture prior to going to the graduation that evening. She was so excited and as usual, had to put her hand on her hip and pose!! Alice is starting kindergarten on Aug 31 and will be able to meet her teacher a couple days before that. She is one of the younger ones in her class but she is doing great. I love the preschool that we put her in, and the teachers!

Is it July 9th yet?

We went to the Strawberry festival again this year with our friends, Viany, Yossani and Nathan! This ride that the three older kids are on is a kid version of the Tilt a Whirl, they love it (surprisingly no one got sick-they had just eaten pizza and corn dogs)!
Alice went on a couple smaller rides with Jack. This particular one is the Jet Ski but he did not like it. I had to run over and ask them to stop the ride, Jack was yelling-"Don't like it, Don't like it"!

These two pictures are from Alice's school. She is going to graduate on June 11 from pre-K (they even took graduation pictures in a cap and gown-very adorable). I will post pictures from her graduation of course. This was at Alice open house where we were able to see all the different activities and crafts that she's been doing over the course of the year. We are very proud of her!!

As far as I go, I am 35 weeks and look like I'm 42 weeks. I am so ready to have this baby or am I, sometimes I'm bi-polar on this, am I ready to not have any sleep and have 3 kids? I do know I'm done being huge with an aching back and going to the bathroom all time. I will have to say though, this pregnancy has been a complete 360 from Jack's. I haven't had a migraine or even a headache and not once have I been sick with nausea, which is such a blessing. I don't think I could've went through that again. I do think this will be a big baby (otherwise I have no other explanation for my hugeness!!).
