Jackson's First Day of Preschool

Jackson was very excited for school this year. He will be going three times a week in the afternoon for two and a half hours. He loves being able to be with other kids and I'm hoping that he'll learn some things as well. He has another year of preschool before kindergarten, because he doesn't turn 5 until November. That's okay though because he is just starting to be interested in coloring and showing any interest in learning letters. His school is right around the corner from our house, so he is so excited to be able to ride his bike to school. When I was talking to Jack about getting ready for school Hailey got all excited because she thought she was going to be able to go to, so when I told her it was just Jack she was so sad. Luckily a couple of the moms that have kids in Jack's school also have kids Hailey's age so we decided to get them together for a little school of their own 2 days a week. I'll only have to teach one week out of the month, so the other weeks I will only have one child at home for 2 hours a day. I won't know what to do with myself. I can't believe how fast my little babies are growing up. ( I like how kids backpacks are bigger than they are:))

Addison's Birth Announcement

Here is Addison's birth announcement. I love the picture of her little bum. I still have to get them printed to send out to everyone, but here is your preview.

Kids Pictures

I love this picture of Gabe and his little princess.

Do you see Hailey's red toenail's? The only way Hailey will let me trim her nails is if I promise to paint her nails.

The kids love to kiss Addison's soft little head.

I am so excited to have these pictures of the kids. I got these pictures taken of them when Addison was 3 weeks old. I was so glad to get the pictures of Addison while she was still so little. My friend that lives behind us is a photographer so I had her do their pictures and they turned out really cute. We took a lot of pictures of Hailey and Addison. We'll have to get Jackson's good individual ones when we do his school pictures, because we got these ones taken two days after he cut his hair. Hailey had a lot of fun getting her pictures taken. She was really good at saying "cheeeese" when we needed her to smile. Her favorite part was when we dressed her in a big fluffy tutu and she danced around in it. I love the ones when Addison is naked, so that you can see just how little she is. I can't believe how many wrinkles she has. I would have liked to get more pictures of Addison sleeping, but of course she wanted to just look around at everything. We also didn't get a great picture of them all together because it sure is hard to get everyone to sit up straight, smile and look at the camera at the same time. I got a dvd full of their pictures so of course I can't post all of them but I'll post a few more of my favorite ones. I am so excited to get many of them printed up so I can have them around my house.

Addison is one month old!

Addison is growing up too quickly. She is starting to get little rolls on her arms and legs. She is still so alert and loves looking around. She really does smile now when you talk to her. Addison is constantly wanting to eat so her binky comes in real handy even though it takes up half of her face. My big plan to have a good sleeper is not going so well she still wakes up a few times at night, although if you ask Gabe he will tell you that she is sleeping so well and hardly wakes up at all:) Hopefully nothing ever goes wrong at night because Gabe would sleep right through it. Addison is such a wonderful addition to our family and we are so blessed to have three little ones, even though I feel a little stressed out at times not being able to get anything around the house accomplished.

Happy Birthday Lori!

Happy Birthday to Grandma Lori, although nobody would believe she is a grandma. All of the grandkids love Grandma and often want her over their own parents, she just can't say no to whatever treat they might want or activity they might want her to do with them. Lori can always be counted on whenever the adults need a Diet Coke (although the kids always manage to get a sip or two out of grandma) or if the kids need an otter-pop. The grandkids love to go over to Grandma's house to play in her backyard, or watch a movie in the trailer or theater room with Grandma. One of Jackson's favorite things about Grandma is her soft skin:) We love you, and hope you have a great day!
