Sunday Showers

Due to all the rain lately it's been hard for the kids to play outside. But, today we did it anyway. They had so much fun splashing around in the puddles and using their umbrellas!

Mom, watch me jump!

OK, Sis it's your turn!

My Sweet Boy

Jake has a personality a lot like my brother, John. He is more on the quiet side. A kid that would rather sit back and let someone else be the center of attention. But, when your not expecting it he can say the funniest things! He has a great sense of humor and the kindest heart I know. He is a very compassionate child, and always cares about other people's feelings. He really is a sweetheart, and I have always felt that he is a very special child. I'm not sure what God has in store for him as he grows up, but I have a feeling Jake will do great things.

But, don't be fooled. This little guy can stand up for himself!




On the way home from school the other day Jake burped really loud, and then said, "That's how you know when the tanks full."
He of course said, "Excuse me" first because that's the kind of sweet boy that he is!

Paige's 1st day of Preschool

Cheeeeze!
She loves her backpack!
Walking down the hall like such a big girl!

She wanted to get her Kitty Cat blanket out of her backpack.
She kept saying, "Need Kit Cat." But, Miss Debbie told her only at rest time!
Then, she decided to sit down with a good book and read.


I can't believe my baby is old enough to start preschool, even if it's just the two year old program. She walked right in and acted like she had been there forever. 3 out of the 6 kids in the class were crying, and Paige just went on about her buisness like it was no big deal that I was leaving. I now have two days to myself.....oh, the things I can get done!

Am I really that old?

I went to the mall today to buy some new jeans. I love jeans! I wear them all the time, even in the summer. I always like to see what new styles are out, but I always end up buying the same brand. BKE from the Buckle are my favorite!

As I'm strolling Paige around a guy comes up to help me. He asked me what I was looking for. I told him that I like low cut jeans as long as my crack isn't hanging out. He responded by saying, "All the moms say that." Then he showed me a pair of jeans that I already own, and when I told him that I already had those jeans he said, "That doesn't surprise me. All our moms like those because you can buy a smaller size in them." I seriously wanted to punch his 2o year old face out!

I know I'm in my 30's, but I never consider myself as being old and someone who would be in the category of "old mom who likes a certain type of jean."

I love my kids and they are my life. I love being called Mommy, but when I go shopping I want to be a fashionable chick who just happens to have 2 kids!

Meet the Teacher

This little lady got to meet her teacher today. She is
starting the 2 year old program at preschool. She will go only two days a week.
Her teacher is Ms. Debbie (who Jake had for the 3's class)
and her aide Ms. Joann.

She immediately started playing with the My Little Ponies.

I think my baby is super excited about preschool. She threw a huge fit when we left. I had to pick her up and carry her out as she was screaming,

"I stay Ms. Debbie!"
