Em and Mary Ella:)

We had the pleasure of having Mary Ella over while Jessica and Brad moved into their new, FABULOUS house!!! They played soooo good together...we all had a ball!!:) Just can't keep saying enough how excited I am that Emma has a best friend!!:) This is TOO much fun!!!!


We started off riding cars for a while!

Going in for the kiss:)



I wonder what Emma was telling her...It's like they were just having a conversation:)


We took a stroll around the neighborhood...and I got some much needed exercise:)



Rode the wagon for a bit..


Colored and had snacks...


Played outside for a while...



Played with blocks..


Of course, had a tea party:)



Then we got into Jack's toys...:) Mary Ella was brushing the horse's hair:))


Sang Wheels on the Bus....



Then we had to say bye bye...until next time!!:)) LOVE these girls!!:)

Fun Day At the Zoo!!!

We had such a fun time at the zoo with all of our friends!! The weather was great, the kids were good and fun, the animals were out to play and the adult company I must say was also pretty awesome:)) Good times!!:)


I never got a picture of Rileigh's beautiful face...she and Jack were completely in awe of all of the animals!!


Emma was so excited to see her best friend...We LOVE Mary Ella and Jessica!! They were soooo good in their strollers...wonder how much longer that will last??:)







Cullen wasn't sure to think of Emma and Mary Ella's squeaky shoes...they were pretty loud!!

Children's Museum Field Trip

I feel like we live at the museum these days...but it was so much fun to watch Jack with all of his friends:))

Big Love...:)

Jack's precious Valentine's Party at school!! Yep, he's eating a cake sucker...We are sooooo thankful for insulin:))


Emma thought she was a part of the party too!!:)

The Three Musketeers:)


Just have to say how impressed I am with Jack's preschool!! He is 3 and reading actual words, can write lots of letters, knows all of your basics like colors, numbers, days of week, weather words, etc...But, one of the most precious things I love the most, other than it's small, gentle, friendly atmosphere, is that they do LOTS of art!!! This is the teacher part in me...well, at least the art infused teacher part;) Not only is he learning sooooo much, but I know he's having a ball:))) These are just a few of my favs...Jack's portfolio:))

He cut these hearts himself:))



They did a hibernation unit and he can tell you what hibernation means and which animals hibernate...This is his bear in a cave:)


Of course, our fav is "Where the Wild Things Are"...Awwwwww!!!!

Best Friends

My lifelong best friend, Sutton, had sweet, baby Edwin in October, and this past weekend we were finally able to get all of the kids together for the first time!! We had so much fun!! We played kick ball, the kids made Valentines and had cupcakes and of course, we just hung out and visited!! Having a best friend like Sutton means that our kids will also be best friends by default...actually with any Sory:)) There's nothing like having a true best friend that you love dearly and I've always been so blessed to have Sutton and her family in my life... they ALL truly are my second family!!!






Emma was too busy eating goldfish to play with baby Sutton...Sutton's goldfish at that!!:)
