Jackson's First School Project.

Jackson's "all about me" project. Ok so maybe I helped him lay it out but everything that was put on it was his idea. We had fun working together.

Princess Avery .

Princess Avery is her name she likes to be called Pink Kitty and Pink Monkey just the same!

I must say these 3 years have been wonderful but once again have really zoomed by. I think back to the day she was born and Jackson was coming up on three, now she is three ooooo weeee.

This year we decided to give the little princess a different kind of birthday.

She has been needing new furniture to store her many clothes, on top of being the only girl she needed her own room and we promised her a few months ago when she finished potty training now that she was a big girl she could get her princess bed that we had picked out about 8 months prior. So this past weekend, we shipped the kids off to Grammy and Pa's and I had my Mom and Dad (Billy) come in to help with the painting and such.

Party time . 2:30 arrives and our birthday guest are here. Grammy and Pa arrive with the kids at 2:45 and the Princess enters the house where she finds her door wrapped up like a big present. Daddy and her open the door , her little face was priceless. She LOVES her princess bed! We let her look around for a minute then we crowned her and her friends Princesses and Princes for the day with a Tiara and Crown Ceremony. Next, her armoire has a draw full of dress up clothes. So Avery, McKenya, and Paisley dressed up like princesses. We let the kids play, and then we put on princess music and Jackson and Avery took over the dance floor. Its too cute. I taught them a few months ago how to dance. The cake was next. Yum Yum! Nobody makes cake better than my sister. Avery then opened presents and got some really nice things. Thanks to everyone who came! For the ones who couldn't come you were in our thoughts.

Enjoy!

I couldn't have done it alone! Thanks goes out to My Mom and Dad (Billy) for ALL of their help. Phil and Sharon for taking on the three munchkins so we could work hard. Becca for the delicious cake! Ryan for the trim paint. And last but not least Brandon(Daddy) for ALL of his hard work!

Kindergarten.

Summer went by waaaayyyy to fast and before we knew it last Wednesday approached us and we were on our way to Open House to meet and greet Jackson's teachers. Grammy came to help us since we are car-less while also watching A and H for me so I could take my little man. Jackson and I arrived at school and found his teacher Ms. Andrea and Ms. Joan. Jackson has one little girl from Pre-K and a Friend of mines daughter that he has played with before along with a bunch of new boys and girls to make friends with in his new class. There is a total of 21 children including him in his class. Thursday was his first day. He was sooo excited! He got dressed, ate breakfast, brushed teeth and we were out the door by 7:15. School this year starts at 7:45 :(

He has received a cool binder call the BEAR book. It has all the information including schedules, a section for parents and teachers to communicate daily, homework, etc.. I love having organization in my life. There is no other way it could be done. So Thursday and Friday were a success. Thank you Grammy for spending the night so I could take J to his first day of school and Thanks Aunt Becca for letting us use your car for his second day!

Yesterday (Monday) was Jackson's first day of riding the bus. He was sooooo excited,which made me feel better. I always was a car rider and wanted to do the same for him, but it is what it is. We got up super early because we were not to sure of the exact time the bus would arrive. His bus ended up coming at 6:30. Here are the images of our first morning we waited for the bus!
