Brady's 5th Birthday!

Brady, I can't believe you are already 5!! It seems like yesterday you were a baby. You are such a smart and strong-willed child. You go to CCA preschool 2 days/week and are home with your dad and sitter on Mondays and are home with me on W & F. You love to plan the Wii, play with you animal figurines, and play basketball. We are hoping to get you into fall baseball. You are a VERY picky eater. You love pizza, sugar cookies, chicken nuggets, cereal, tacos, salad/slaw, sugar cookiesand sister shubert rolls. You don't like most pasta dishes and chocolate cookies.

We had your b-day party at Thunderroad Race Track in Conway. You loved it and so did your friends. Here are some pics of the party. We love you Brady:)

Zoo trip with Brady and his preschool class

We went to the Zoo a couple of weeks ago and the weather was great!! The kids loved it and Brady and I had a great time with just us. It is not very often that I get to spend time with just him. We ate lunch at the Zoo with the class and checked out all the animals. Thanks Brady for a great day!! I love you:)

A look back at Jackson

Here are some picture from birth to now at age 2!! We had your birthday on 3/28/09 and the theme was "Balls, Bubbles, Balloons". The family celebrated your birthday at our house. You had a fun day!!

Jackson is 2 (on March 30th)

What can I say, but that you have been such a blessing to our family. You are WILD and keep me and your family running, but you are such a happy child. You run everywhere you go and you will try to climb on anything. You do have a temper when you don't get your way!! It seems like yesterday you were born. You have such a great personality and are sooooo loving. I can always count on you to give us a big hug and kiss. We love you Jackson...Happy (belated) blog birthday post!!! Here are some things about you.

Misc: You still LOVE your pacifier and you know where we keep the extras!! I'm working on just nap and nighttime paci's, but you are attached!! You are urinating on your potty some, but not consistent. You love your "Abgail" and "Bady" so much.
See below for pics of the b-day party!!

The dreaded FLU!

The past two weeks have been rough around my household. First, Scott got the flu, then he passed it on to me a week later. I don't remember ever having the flu in my life, but it is horrible. I had to miss a week of work. After a week and 2 days, I'm finally starting to feel back to "normal"....whatever that is!! Thankfully, my kids are doing good and are still staying healthy for the most part.

Abigail's gymnastics meets

We have been busy this winter going to Abigail's gym meets. I take pictures at every meet, but here are a few of the better pictures. She really loves gymnastics and we are very proud of her. The competition season ends next month, so maybe we will slow down for alittle bit.:)
