Happy 1st Birthday Emma Grace !!!

This past weekend, on Friday morning at 7:18am to be exact, my baby girl turned one yr old...WOW,, time really flies by...I made a comment recently that when Audrey's 1st birthday was approaching, I was ready for it...I really had a whole year to enjoy her, and it felt like it lasted that long!! I still remember her 1st rollover, 1st sitting up,1st crawling, 1st walking (late-14 mos)...everything seemed so cherished...I wrote EVERYTHING down...and pretty much the same went for Jake, except I had a 3 yr old helper in the mix....back to Emma Grace, as she is the "queen" of this post today...I feel like the last yr was a blur, but nontheless we had a wonderful time on Friday night, we took her to Chucky Cheese for the 1st time...She was terrified, from the "chucky" puppets, to the rides, to the actual Chucky himself coming out to grace the kids...(we have the fearful pic to prove it)....It was fun though...Sunday---party day---also happened to be my b-day, but we wont get into that..I said from now on, I have an excuse to celebrate someone elses bday...anyway, we had about 30 people over for BBQ, beans, and all the fixins..followed by a rented dalmatian bounce house and slip-n-slide......EG had all kinds of wonderful gifts...Thanks everyone!! all in all it was a wonderful day!!

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS-PART 1

1. "mommy, it was an 'asscident'.."
2. "I have a scratch on my headache (forehead)"
3. I overheard a conversation on the playground yesterday between two 6 yr olds that went like this, girl- "come to the beauty shop now" boy-"no, I am an awcheologist now" (try to visualize him saying his "R's" wrong)...girl- "oh, you do art now, okay"
4. "I went to the playground next year"...everything to Jake is in year intervals
5. "thats super ridiculous"
********* Thats all I have for now..I should have more material later, thanks to my precious children*************

funny, little moments.........

Jake has had a busy morning, this morning, bugging his sisters...A brothers job is never done....I had sent him to timeout 2 times, by 10am this morning for first bugging the baby, then turning to Audrey by taking baby Emmas b-day invitations and ripping them up (not all of them, thank goodness)...anyway, the last time (3rd) was it for me,,I grabbed him, pulled him in to me about an inch from my face and proceeded to scold him for not leaving his sister alone,,when I was finished he looked at me w/such love and said, "Are your eyes green?"...me and Audrey laughed, and I said yes, same as yours...He's a ladies man in the making...

too many pics,,,sorry!

GO CHEETAHS, GO !!!

Thursday night was Audrey's last season ball game,,and unfortunately they lost (to a not-so-great team, needless to say, Russ was a little agitated) Anyway, Audrey played her heart out, as she often does...Jake couldnt care less, unless you mentioned one of the million times we have to take him to the concession stand..(I hate that place)....As for Emma Grace, she was just concerned w/Aunt Sarah providing enough Cherrios in her two little grubby hannies, so she can ever so eloquently SHOVE THEM in her tiny mouth....(she eats like her daddy,, haha)...Today we will be celebrating the Cheetahs team during a trophy ceremony at Eagleton ballpark...they will get a trophy, due to being in 2nd place out of 4 teams...Go Team!...I will show some pics of that w/my next post...have a blessed day everyone!!!

Im on Facebook now !!

Im excited to be on Facebook now...FINALLY....be sure to check it out !!

VBS-2009

Well, this week has been a hectic and fun week for me altogether...our church had or annual VBS and this one was entitled "Crocodile Dock"....I was signed up to do outdoor recreation, then at literally the last minute (3 days before VBS) our director asked me to do preschool music for 2's,3's,4's,pre-k and K....I had to learn over 6 songs and motions in 3 days....It was a daunting, but fun task, and the kids did so well and learned all the songs and motions faster than I was spiting them out !!....we had a program today, and they did wonderfully....Audrey, Jake and Emma Grace had a ball !!....I'll write more later when I can post some pics from it....
