Gavin Snapping

Gavin has been snapping for awhile and I have tried and tried to get a video of him, but I have never been sucessful. Until today!! Enjoy!

Ear Bling

Kaitlin has been asking about getting her ears pierced for a couple months and on Saturday for her birthday Aunt D took her to get them done. I had prepped her ahead of time telling her that it will hurt a little, but it's done very quick. I thought that she would decide against getting them done when we got there, but she was very brave.

Being really, really brave! =)

She did start to cry a bit when I had to touch them so the lady could show me how to clean them. What a sad face!

She was very happy though when she saw her newly pierced ears in the mirror! Then she was off to look at all the earrings that they had in the store to make a list of all the ones she wanted when she can change them in 6 weeks! =)

Sneak Peek...

...Of what's to come! Friday was the last day of school and Jayden's preschool class had a year end party. When we got there Logan went right up to the teacher naming all the treats that he wanted on his plate, then sat down with the other kids and starting telling jokes and laughing. He fit in perfectly. Next year Logan will go to preschool and I know that he will have a blast!

Confessions of a Blogstalker-aholic!

I needed a cute end of the teacher appreciation gift and during my blogstalking hour (or more) I saw a super cute idea and wanted to duplicate it. I loved how it turned out! It was easy to make and inexpensive, which is nice when your needing something for 3 teachers!

Thanks to all the creative ladies that I often blogstalk for all your cute ideas! Keep them coming!

Another Garden Post!

Soon I'll be able to add this bad boy to a yummy salad!! Can't wait!! =)

Kindergarten Here He Comes!!

Yesterday Jayden "graduated" from preschool and he looked so cute doing it! The kids sang songs, danced, wore hats and star glasses and sang with pretend microphones. It was quite the show. Jayden is so excited to go to Kindergarten next year after having to do preschool 2 years in a row because of his age. We are so proud of all that he has learned and can't wait to see how much he grows next year!!

I'm a Big Kid Now!

Or so he thinks!! This little man is definitely giving me a run for my money these days. All at once he is learning how to do all these new things - climbing on the table, climbing the ladder to the top bunk, opening doors, getting into the toilet...lovely-you get the point! I think I need to invest in some heavy duty child proof equipment. I'm gonna need it with him.

Will the Real Jayden Michael...

.....please stand up!! For class Jayden had to make a lifesize paperdoll of himself to display at Preschool Graduation. Can you tell the real one from the doll? =) Jayden helped by deciding what clothes he wanted to wear, gluing him together and coloring his skin. Today while we were finishing him up Jayden said, "It's like the second born of me!" I thought that was pretty cute.

Happy Birthday Kaitlin!!

Seven years ago today I was in the hospital holding my sweet baby girl for the first time! Jared and I were so happy to finally meet her after waiting 9 months and one long overdue week!! =) She was such a beautiful baby and we couldn't get enough of her! Seven years later she has grown into such a beautiful girl. I am so proud of the girl she has become. She loves to learn and loves to write. Lately she has been writing and drawing her own books. She really amazes me! I am so proud to be her mother! I love you Kaitlin....Happy Birthday!!

Green Thumb!
