Pet Shop Fieldtrip!

Ike really enjoys preschool. Cal and I got to go with him to the pet store for a fieldtrip. It was a lot of fun!

This is Ike and one of his good friends he's made at preschool, Owen.

This is Ike and his teacher, Ms. Liza.

Horses, Horses, Horses!

It was good weather the other day and Adam took the kids to ride horses. They had the time of their lives. They are getting so confident riding horses. They can all ride the horse all by themselves! So Brave!

Look at me Mom!

My little baby! He absolutely loves it!

Cheeeeese!!!!!!!!

Love wrangler butts!
(he wears these everyday!)

Thanks to Amy, she took darling pictures of my kids, as always!

A little heartbreaker!

I have a crush on him :)

9 Year Anniversary!

9 Years ago today I married the man of my dreams! I really do love this man and think the world of him. I feel so blessed to have him as mine! I don't know if I deserve him, but I am sure glad that I have him forever! I love you Adam! Happy 9 Year Anniversary!

I did it!

We finally did it. It was my plan for the month of March to get Cal potty trained and we did it. It took a lot of tries, but finally I think he's got it. He hasn't had an accident for the past two days. Nights are a challenge, because I don't want him to wear pull-ups (made that mistake with Jane), but he has peed the bed every night. The other problem is, he won't wear the pull-ups, he says they're diapers for babies. He is doing really well and I am so proud of my big boy!

Look at my undies! It works best when he wears his cars undies, because he doesn't want to pee on Mack and Lighting McQueen :)

We set Mack, that talks, on the back of the toilet for two days and when he finally went pee in the toilet he got to take it out and play with it. He has only had it taken away once and then he got it. He is such a big boy! Way to go Cal :)

AARGH Matey!

Jane turned 6 years old today. I can't believe how big she is getting. It's crazy to think that I have a 6 year old. Jane is so smart and so much fun. She has so much determination and will keep at something until she succeeds. She's learning how to read and doing a really good job in school. She is a big helper, most of the time. I love her to death! I can't imagine life without our JaneyBeth! Jane was so excited to take treats to school and celebrate her birthday! She brought home this cool birthday crown!

Today Jane got to have a birthday party with all her friends. We had so much fun. She wanted a pirate birthday. I know, a little silly for a girl, but she wanted it and so that's what we did. We had 12 little girls over and lots of fun.

Good thing Katie was there. I finally got some really good pictures for once. Thanks so much Katie! My sister Bonnie was a huge help as well! Thanks girls!

We had a fun treasure hunt for the girls. At the end there was a treasure chest pinata. They loved it! It was a lot of fun!
Here's Chloe takin' a swing!

Haylee (my other darling niece)

Cal had so much fun. He was almost embarrassed hitting it, but he loved it!

Thank heavens Ashlee was there. I think half the time she thought she was too old for this party, but she was a super big help and had so much fun.

Jane LOVED this.

I think, Ike, loved this the most!

All the girls!

I was going to try my hand at a pirate cake, but Jane only wanted a Jack Sparrow cake, and I wasn't about to attempt that. Jane said, maybe we could have Aunt Katie make the cake? She didn't have much confidence in me either, so we went with your basic pink cupcakes!

Six candles!

It was so funny. Ike was makin' all the girls laugh! He was quite funny. He was the life of the party! He was all decked out in his pirate attire!

Look at this cutie pie!

And this cute thing!

Lots of treats!

A few decorations for the birthday girl!

A lot of laughs and fun!
