First day of Preschool!

Adam started pre-school this morning. He had a great first day! I know his teachers Ms. Pam & Ms. Sandra from working there last year. They are awesome! I know he will have a good year with them. He already knew a lot of the kids from being there last year. He was excited about seeing his friends!

I wasn't sure what Sarah & I would do all day! I figured this first day we would make a girly day! We did a little bit of shopping. Then we met our friend Misty for lunch at the girliest place I know- Celebrity Bakery. Yum!

Then we came home and baked cookies for Adam. My friend Jara & her little girl Kinsley always make cookies for her Kaden on his first day of school. I thought that was such a cute tradition, so we did that too!

Sarah was so happy when it was time to go get him! He had a great first day. When I told him he gets to go back on Thursday, he said "Yes! I love school!" :)

Happy Birthday!

Two years ago tonight, I met a little someone who would change my life...

From that moment on, I have been blessed to be the mom of a precious daughter! I love all things girly and am still so excited about sharing all of those things with my own sweet girl. The first two years have just flown by! I love you Sarah & I'm having so much fun being your mommy! Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!

Elmo Party!

Elmo everywhere!!! Elmo juice boxes, Elmo pizza (designed by daddy), Elmo crackers, Elmo cupcakes!, Elmo shirt & tutu! The kids colored Elmo pictures, worked an Elmo puzzle, guessed how many Dorothy crackers were in the fishbowl, looked at the one real Dorothy goldfish!, and can you guess what was playing on TV? Elmo's Birthday DVD, what else? It was an Elmo party!! Sarah loves Elmo! :)

Vacation!

Jacob was on vacation this week so we went on a quick family trip to Galveston. We had so much fun! We spent a ton of time at the hotel pool. We went to Moody Gardens- mostly so Adam could see the Dinosaurs Alive Exhibit. One night we ate at Rainforest Cafe, then took a walk by the beach. We spent some time at the beach too. The kids loved it. I wasn't sure what they would think because they are both a little scared of the wave pool at the waterpark. But, once they warmed up, they had a blast. They ran and splashed in the waves and had fun playing in the sand. One day Adam took a nap, so Sarah & I had some girl time at the pool. The next day Sarah took a nap, so Adam and I went to a movie. We also went to the mini-golf right across from the ocean! I'd love to live that close to the ocean and beach!! We had so much fun and have really enjoyed the extra time with Jake this week!

A quiet week at home!

The last few weeks were so busy for us. This week was quiet & relaxing. We mostly stayed home! I had a few lazy days, then spent a few days getting my house cleaned & organized. It's been nice not having much to do & just being able to enjoy being home with my kiddos!


One day we met our playgroup friends at the Purple Cow. It's a cute purple diner with purple ice cream! That was fun! We had Sammy with us that day, so I got to see what it's like to have three kids. It's BUSY! :)
We spent lots of time with Sammy this week while his parents were honeymooning. Adam enjoyed having him over. They played together and did an art project- painted wooden snakes. Sarah had to use water for hers. Can you guess why? (I don't know if you tell in the picture but her paintbrush is in her mouth!)

Adam & Sarah are having fun playing together these days. What a sweet stage they are in! That has to be one of the things I'm enjoying most right now- just seeing how they interact with each other and watching that relationship grow. Adam has started to realize that it's kind of fun having Sarah around and she absolutely loves that he's including her! She loves to play in his room. She does get on his nerves sometimes, but he's usually really sweet to her! He likes to play alone sometimes too. He's really creative & makes up little stories with his figures. All week he's been playing with this box (that I was going to throw away!). It's funny how some things keep their attention for so long! Sarah has been playing with her toys too. Today she played with her baby doll. She sang "rock-a-bye" (that's all, just that part!) & gave her a paci. They are just sweet and so much fun! I'm so thankful to get to stay at home with them! This time is precious!

Someone's turning 2...

I just had to post these. She's just cute, even when she's pouting!

Girl Time!

I got to enjoy lots of fun girl time with Jenn leading up to the wedding. We (the bridesmaids) took her out for her last single night out! The next morning we went to a Bridesmaids' luncheon at La Madeline and then got manicures & pedicures together! It was so much fun! I love girl time & I love spending time with my sister! We had lots of fun with our cousin Sarah too!

Mr. & Mrs. Cody Deeds

Awwwww! I'm SO happy for my sister and Cody. Their wedding was just perfect! They are so happy and excited about starting their life together. Here are a few pictures. I hope to have more soon. The last two are so tiny because they are from Jacob's phone! Jenn was a beautiful bride! The kids were so cute. Adam looked so handsome in his tux & Sarah was a beautiful little flower girl.
