More, Please!

Bethany is mastering her baby sign language (actually this is really the only one she knows). It comes in handy and eliminates a lot of screaming in our house! (In the video, I'm feeding her peaches)

Fall is Coming!

And Bethany's got a new outfit just in time for the cooler weather. I made the bows with flowers I found at Robert's to match. Oh, and I love her new boots which I found at Ross.

The Big 6-0

This is a shout out to my Dad who is turning 60 today. He is such a great Dad and Grandpa and we love him so much! He doesn't look a day over 59 does he?

Hungry Man (or not)

Jacob came home from school today with his lunch box pretty much still full. I asked him why he didn't eat and he said it was because he just wasn't very hungry. I thought it was weird so later I probed him some more. It turns out that he's been buying school breakfast every morning (french toast sticks) without me knowing. (He has a prepaid account for his school lunch so he just puts it on his account). I won't be giving him a credit card anytime soon!

Welcome to Hogwarts!

Jacob's Harry Potter Birthday Party was a big hit. A sign on the door welcomed all the little wizards to Hogwarts (I worked very hard coloring and cutting the crest, so I had to get a good pic).

He had a "Monster Book of Monsters" cake made by my amazingly talented friend.

Professor Dumbledore set up all of his potions at the house.

Oh no! The Monster Book ate a book and shredded it on the table!

"Polyjuice Potion"

Professor Dumbledore showed up to the party (I have connections, people!)

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" (watch out for the booger flavored ones!)

Professor Dumbledore trained the young wizards in potion making.

And last, but not least, the cake had a little surprise in store for us. Cool, right??

Surprise Visit from Grandma

Jermie's Mom decided to fly out and surprise Jacob for his birthday. I caught his reaction on video.

Harry Potter Invites

Here's a little preview for Jacob's Harry Potter birthday party. The invitations turned out so cool. Jacob (with some help from Dad) burned all the edges himself.

Here's what they looked like when we delivered them.

Pre-K

Kyle was so excited to go back to Preschool this year. He is loving his teachers, Miss Holly and Miss Kathy ("Kaa-fee"). Here are a few pics from his first day.

I Am Special

Kyle learned this poem yesterday for Preschool. Adorable!

Confessions of a (Bargain) Shopaholic

I picked up these clothes for Bethany for next summer at Target this morning. Each item was $1.74 except the outfit on the right which was $3.98. Love it!
