Tomorrow, this guy...

Tomorrow, this guy will be in high school...



Tomorrow, this guy will be in 1st grade...



Tomorrow, this guy will be sad and lonely...



These are my guys...



I cannot believe how big all of my boys are getting. My first baby will be in HIGH SCHOOL tomorrow morning! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home, all 7 lbs 9 oz and 19" of him. I will never forget what it was like seeing him for the very first time. For my entire life, the only thing I could ever imagine being when I grew up, was a mom. I honestly do not remember ever wanting to do anything else. Sure, I had jobs that I thought of doing, but they all took a backseat to wanting children of my own. I always said growing up when anyone asked, that I wanted 6 kids. I got pretty close! This boy has been the joy of my life for the past 13.11 years. Becoming a mom nearly 14 years ago is by far the very best thing in the entire world, I cannot imagine my life any other way. This guy will be on the varsity soccer team this year. This guy is growing up way too fast. This guy is still his momma's guy. He might not always admit it, but he is. This guy makes me happy. This guy makes me want to pull my hair out. This guy is the light of my life. This guy is a fantastic big brother. This guy loves his siblings more than he might like to admit. This is my big guy.

My second baby boy will be in 1st grade tomorrow morning! I cannot believe that my baby is going into 1st grade! That seems so grown up. He likes to say, "On my next birthday, I will be 7, then I will be 8, then I will be 9, then 10, then 11, then..." When he does that, I still think of him as my little guy and nearly argue that there is no way that on his next birthday that he will be 7! That seems so grown up! I mean, I know he is 6, but turning 7 on his next birthday? No way! This guy LOVES school, I hope it stays that way. He loves to learn, he loves to go to school and have fun with his friends. This guy is a good boy. He is laid back and care free. I wish I was this guy! He makes me smile. This guy is funny. He is loving, caring and the light of my life too. This guy loves his family. He would rather be home with his family than doing anything else in the world. This guy is a pleaser. He loves to make us happy. This guy wears his feelings on his sleeve. This guy makes friends wherever he goes. This guy has my heart in his pocket. This guy was hard to come by and had a rough start in life. This guy is my world. This guy is his mommy AND daddy's baby and we would not have it any other way. This guy loves to be around people. This guy is an amazing big brother, he loves his little people like you would not believe. This guy, who is normally calm and sweet can grow fangs and be in kill mode in 2.5 seconds if anyone messes with his little people. This guy LOVES cheese quesadillas. This guy can read. This guy can do math. This guy amazes me every single day. I am going to miss this guy tomorrow. It killed me to send him to pre-school 3 days a week 2 years ago, kindergarten nearly sent me to the crazy house last year, and 1st grade is making me cry. This guy is my best friend. This guy is everyone's best friend. This guy has his very first non family best friend. This guy will have a great day at school tomorrow.

My smallest baby boy will be 3 this month, in 17 days to be exact. You have got to be kidding me. There is no way my baby will be 3! He is still too little to be 3. I call him my little guy. He says, "I not a wittle guy!" Unless it works in his favor, then it is "I just a wittle guy!" This guy is hilarious. This guy is his own little person. This guy has a totally different personality than the others. This guy is independent and hard headed. This guy begged to go to school this year. This guy will be starting pre-school next month. This mommy is not happy about that, but I know he will have a great time. I had no intention of sending him at 3, I figured I'd wait until he turned 4, he had other plans. This guy is the sweetest baby ever. This guy is beautiful. This guy is a wonderful big brother. He loves his baby sister with everything he has. He talks to her, he kisses her, he wants to hold her, he gets upset when she cries. He wants us to always make it better so she will not cry. He asks, "I kiss huh (her)?" This guy also had a rough start. This guy scared us. This guy continues to scare us. He is a daredevil, he has no fear. This guy has had more knots and bruises on his head than all of the other children combined. This guy is tough. This guy has a mind of his own. This guy will give us a run for our money. This guy is mine. This guy loves all things dog, cat and Disney World. This guy loves ALL THINGS DISNEY WORLD! ALL THINGS!! He loves trains, trucks, firetrucks, garbage trucks...he is a man's man. This guy loves to get dirty. He loves crocs. He loves cheese. He loves life. He loves his people. He does not meet a stranger. He makes friends with everyone. This guy has my heart. This guy pads his pockets with rocks. This guy will be sad tomorrow because his 2 best friends are going back to school. This guy will cry and say that he wants to go to his school. This guy loves his big brothers. This guy makes me smile.

I am the luckiest mommy alive to have these guys in my life. They (along with their sisters *and daddy*) are my life. I cannot imagine my life having turned out any other way.

Tomorrow, I will be sad too...
