Special Day!

Skylar and I got to spend a special day together on Saturday! Thanks to a good friend of mine we got to go to the Michigan v IU game. At first I was bummed that I was taking my 6 year old but it turned out to be a great day and I am so glad that we got to spend that time to together. I think I have created a football fan!! She loved taking pictures and watching Mommy's team win, for most of the game! She even started to understand what was going on. Ok so as much as any 6 year old girl can catch. She even learned an IU cheer. So when everyone else was yelling GO Blue she was yelling Go Big Red!!!! She is truely my child!!! Check out our family photo site to see all the photos! Bill, thank you so much for the opportunity!!! GO IU!!!

What a weekend!!

Chris and I got to spend some time jus the two of us! It was much needed and very fun! We went to the Kenny Chesney concert in Indy and had a great time! The funny thing is how old I felt when we were there. We were sitting by some college age kids that were very much enjoying their drinks! Oh the memories of enjoying drinks. I was having flash backs and then remembering the feeling afterwards. It was one of the best concerts that I have been to and will return anytime he comes back to town, or any where close for that matter. The girls got to spend the night at Grandma and Papa's. They went to bed easier than they do when they are at home. Jenna must have liked sleeping there because she slept close to 14 hours! Today was spent cleaning and just having family time! All of that makes for a great weekend!!!
Any Kenny Chesney fans you can check out my photos from the concert. Granted they are sort of far away!

My little peanut starts school!

Lizzy started preschool today! She was so excited to go to school. I think it was because Skylar was so excited to have her come to school with us! I dropped her off and she was excited to see her teacher, whom she loves. Then, because I work at her school, I got to see her during the day. She was being so good. She was the leader today and she led the line really well. Then I got to watch them learn their new prayer for snack! It was so neat to see. I love the fact that I can check on my kids without them knowing it. When asked what she did in school today she told me that she went to Mrs. Hobbs room. She claims she had fun and that she colored everything!!!!! Check out the photo site for pictures her first day and of the backyard camping trip Chris and the girls had.

Skylar's in First Grade!

She has made it through her first full week of 1st Grade. We have done homework, ok so Grandma did homework because I had a meeting. She had her first real spelling test and memory work and did very well on both! She still has her share of breakdowns but she is growing up so fast. She can't wait until Lizzy comes to school with her! She is really liking her teacher and seems to be picking up on the routine great!

Lizzy will start after labor day in 3-year old preschool. She is so excited and will tell anyone that Mrs. Hobbs is her teacher. There will be pictures from her first day and her open house!!

Jenna is a walking machine!!!

They are all growing so fast! I feel like they will be grown and gone bfeore I know it!!!

Update!

Here is an update on Jenna and Lizzy! They both went to the doctor and checked out great!

Lizzy weighs 33 pounds and is 37 1/2 inches tall

Jenna weighs 20 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches tall

They are so very different. Jenna is a little chunker and Lizzy is our skinny minny. Jenna has taken her first steps and is climbing on everything. She is working really hard on her motor skills and is leaving the talking to her sisters at this point. Lizzy was asked to jump and she was all excited to show how she could until the doctor looked at her. Then she got all shy and wouldn't do it until I held her hand! They both had shots and did very well. If you ask Lizzy what happened at the doctor she will tell you the doctor shot her. Oh the understanding of children! Overall very good visit!! Skylar's update will come next week because she goes to the doctor on Monday!

Jenna's new trick!

It amazes me that even though Jenna is out third child the little things are still pretty cool to experience! Her newest trick is to play peek-a-boo with her shirt. She will hide her face and then pull it down. She is so proud of herself!! It is so cute to watch.

Quick update - She is crawling and trying to stand on her own. She also has three teeth - two on bottom and one on top. She would really like to walk to stay up with her older sisters!! She heads to the doctor soon for her check up and I will post all the latest info then!!

Wonderful Sunday!

What better way to spend the day than cleaning house, swimming, and spending time with family!!! I can't think of anything better! I love the feeling of accomplishment when i finally get my house cleaned and it doesn't feel like I have three girls that are blessed with toys! I also love to watch my girls in the pool. As you might remember Skylar, at the beginning of the summer, was not exactly liking the water. Now she tried just little arm floaties and was ok with them. I guess when she decides things are ok she dives into them full force!!! The perfect end to the day is eating with my parents, kids, and husband!! It is the best of both worlds; childhood - when mom cooked and adulthood - my own family!!! I love watching my girls interact with my parents!!!! I am blessed!!!! What a great start to the week!!!!
