Grandparents Program at Preschool

Isabelle's preschool celebrated grandparents day today with a special program full of songs, craft tables, cookies, and showing off her classroom.  Both Grandma's and Grandpa's attended the program along with Kevin, Avrey, and I.  She had a big crowd just for her and loved it!

Song time.  She was all smiles the entire time. :)

Craft time!

 Isabelle was so excited to show off her preschool room and all the many, many crafts and art work she has done over the past 4 weeks!

Time for cookies and juice!

After the program we went to lunch with my parents and Kevin had the rest of the day off! We are so proud of you Isabelle and had a great time visiting you during your school today!! We love you so much!!!

Avrey's First Wagon Ride!!

This afternoon Avrey enjoyed her first wagon ride!  Isabelle was so excited to ride in the wagon with her little sister and loves that she is slowly starting to be able to do more with her. :)  Avrey loved the whole ride, taking in all the sights, and smiling constantly. :)  She looked like such a big girl sitting up in there!  Here are a few pictures from her first wagon ride!



Apparently going on a wagon ride is tiring stuff...she fell asleep in her highchair while eating dinner tonight!  Rough life Avrey. :)

Grandparents Day

Sunday after church we made a trip up to Ames since Isabelle wanted to go play and Grandma and Grandpas. :)  My sisters family came over too for the afternoon and the cousins had lots of fun as usual! It just so happened Sunday was Grandparents Day so Grandma and Grandpa were more the happy to have a house full with their five grandkids!  Enjoy the pictures!


Happy Grandparents Day to all the Grandma's and Grandpa's out there!!!

A Little Bit of This and That

Here are just a few pictures from our week :)  Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Our little loves playing check up :)

Last weekend I decorated for Fall/Halloween! I always do this the first of September so we can actually enjoy the decorations! I didn't put out alot of things that I normally do but just wanted to put out things that I actually love and that match our decor. :)  Here are a few pictures of the decorations :)

I love the little sign that says "Beware of Sugar" :)  Also, the somewhat white kitchen cupboards are an ongoing project I am working on at nights. I finally got all the kitchen cabinets primed and ready to go for the paint.  I was so sick of the brown so we are painting them white (well its a shade of white).  Now I just need to do the two coats over the entire kitchen and we are all done! If only if was that easy :)

Love the Disney World Halloween flag!

For the past three months Isabelle has been very, very, very into "camping out" in the basement with daddy.  Every single Friday and Saturday night this is where they sleep.  We blow the air mattress up, she gets it all set up, and they settle in and watch Disney Junior, play, and have fun! This is the highlight of her week and she talks about it everyday asking when she can camp out again!  I finally got a few pictures of her all ready for the camp out this weekend!

Speaking of sleeping....Isabelle picked out some new bedding today. :)  She really, really wanted a Sofia the First bedroom set.  I was actually glad she found it since most kids character bedding only comes in a twin size, we were lucky to find a set for a double bed.  She got the sheets and comforter set and was soooo excited!!!  (I was happy it was 20% off too!).  My bargain with Isabelle was that if we get the bedding that she take half of the stuffed animals off of her bed and put them downstairs so you could actually see Sofia!  Believe it or not, she did, and there are still this many stuffed animals left!

She also got this Sofia canvas print for her room that has a switch and actually lights up. :)  She donated a picture that use to be there to Avrey's room. :)

And of course some hooks for the wall to hang her purses and backpack. :)  I love that her room is now how she wants it! I loved her bedding before, but it was what I had picked out for her when she was 1 1/2 and went to her double bed.  So now her room is all her decorating and I love it!

And to wrap this long, random post up, a few pictures of adorable Avrey. :)  Practicing wearing some Minnie Ears!  I can't wait for her first of many trips to Disney World in two months!!!!!!

Sweet Dreams everyone!

5 Months!!!

Avrey Ann you are 5 months old today!!! You are the sweetest, happiest, smiliest baby I have ever known.  You love sleeping on your side or belly now, love all the new foods you have tried (green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, bananas, apples, peaches), love your going on walks in the stroller and many times falling asleep during them.  You are the best sleeper still and have not woke up once at night since turning 4 months old.  You usually go to sleep around 7:30 at night and sleep until 7:30 or later in the morning.  You love Isabelle more then anything.  You just light up around her and love leaning in to give her hugs.  You love rolling over, standing up, putting everything in your mouth to chew on, and love cuddles and kisses.  I am the luckiest person in the world to get to be your mommy and I thank God everyday for you and Isabelle.  We love you Avrey Ann! Happy 5 months!

Here are some pictures of our little girl on her 5 month Birthday!
