Girls Day with Sarah

Sarah & I had a fun day out. We went to Grapevine to a fun girly boutique. They have dress-up clothes and tea parties for little girls. Sarah had so much fun trying on all of the different fancy clothes. You know she loves a good tea party! She drank real tea with sugar cubes! We had fancy pink cupcakes too.

It was so much fun to get away with my girl! I love that she is so girly and I love our time together!

7 Months Old!

My happy boy is 7 months old now! He has started doing the "army crawl" to get around. He is especially happy to crawl if he sees the remote control or that doorstop thing that makes a funny noise. He really likes to stand up (with help). He has really strong (cute, chubby, little) legs! He's tried lots of different fruits and veggies and pretty much likes everything he has had. He is still just as happy and laid back as ever. The only time he really is unhappy is if we leave the room when it's time for him to go to sleep. He likes to stay up with us and he gets his feelings hurt if we leave him! Sweet boy. He likes to be rocked but now he fights going to sleep. He'd rather play than sleep! Everyone comments on what an easy baby he is- we are so thankful for his good natured personality! He's just a joy to our family!

My Sweet Funny Girl

I just wanted to jot down a few cute/funny things that Sarah has been saying lately so I don't forget them. She has been asking everyone who comes to our house if they have seen Tangled (her favorite movie). If they say no, like my brother or Jake's friend from work she goes to get it & tells them they can watch it while they are here. She's determined to make sure everyone has seen it.

It had been storming one evening last week. As I was putting her to bed that night she asked if I would turn on her lullaby CD so she could dream about "princesses and stuff" instead of listening to all of that funder.

Another night she casually strolled into my room at 10:30 one night & asked "how's it going in here, mom?"

This morning she asked her Daddy "are you scared of beastes?" (that's plural for beast). He said he wasn't and she said "okay, can you help me be brave so I can watch Beauty & the Beast?"

Reciting her Bible verse. "You should love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of our mind, all of your string, and with all of your soldier."

I love my cute girl!

First Week Of Summer!

Our first week of summer was lots of fun- everything that summer should be! Lazy days at home, a playdate, a day with Grandma, grilling, swimming! Jake had Friday off so we are enjoying a four day weekend with him. We went to our neighborhood pool yesterday. I LOVE summer!!

SUMMER!!!

I'm updating this for the second time this week. That can only mean one thing- we are done with school! Yay!! The kids had their last day at their school this week and we are wrapping up our homeschool year too. It's been such a great year! I'm really looking forward to this summer. We don't have anything exciting planned I'm just ready to slow down. We have been crazy busy since we moved here- moving, getting settled in, having a new baby, homeschooling. I'm excited to have the schooling part of that on hold for a little while. I have some projects I'm hoping to get done this summer and I want to spend lots of time just hanging out with my favorite little guys & girl! Here are a few pictures of the last day of school.

Adam & Mrs.Morris- we are going to miss her!

They had field day & splash day.
Here's a huge water slide they got to play on.

We went out for an ice cream treat to celebrate the last day of school

and the beginning of SUMMER!!!

(Can you tell I'm excited! Probably more than the kids!)

6 Months Old!

This sweet little guy is 6 months old now. The first year just flies by so fast- I can't believe we are already half way to one. I know I have requested a pause button before but this is another stage I could totally freeze & just keep him right here! He's so, so, so, so sweet! He's still such a good, happy baby. Everyone comments on how happy and easy going he is. He sleeps all night, he still takes several day time naps. He's rolling around and trying to sit up but still not completely mobile. He can fall asleep on his own but he really likes to be rocked and snuggle at bedtime. Really, I love this stage! I love this baby! This month he started a few baby foods. He is liking those so far. He rolls and scoots but hasn't started trying to crawl yet. His favorite toy is a book that crinkles. He has started to really like bath time. Adam & Sarah love to play with him and make him laugh. It's been a wonderful first 6 months with him!

Pretending

My sweet girl is so much fun! She is in one of my favorite stages- she loves to pretend. She sets up these little scenes and will just play and play for the longest time. I love to watch her and see how her little mind is working. This day she was playing "sleepover with her imagination friends." She's so precious!

Earlier this week she was telling our friend something about a princess. Our friend asked her if she was going to be a princess when she grows up. Sarah looked at her in all seriousness and said "I already am a princess. I just keep my crown under my bed." I love that girl!

Happy 6th Birthday!

My little guy turned 6 this month! We had fun celebrating with our families. We just did a small party this year. He had a soccer game that day. So, the party started with our family coming to his game to cheer him on. From there we came home for a Star Wars party.

Our neighborhood pool opened that day so we had to check that out!

That night he had his friend over and the boys had a sleep over.

They were so excited. It was so cute!

Happy Birthday to my sweet 6 year old boy!
