Chuck-E-Cheese

Daddy had a guys night out, so we decided to go out ourselves!  We headed out to Chuck-E-Cheese, had some pizza, played some game, rode the rides, and had some fun!  The kids love this place.  I think they would go there everyday if we let them.  

Freezing cold walk!

It looked nice outside, so I thought I would be a nice mom and take the kids on a walk.  Not the best idea!  The kids loved it, but it was freezing!  I don't think the kids minded one bit, they were just excited to be out of the house.  Notice they even have their shoes off to play in the sand.  Most of the time they are best little buddies.

 All bundled up.  She enjoyed the walk too.

 Lunch time.  Mmmm.... I just want to eat those little cheeks of hers!

 Getting ready for her nap.

Happy 4th Birthday J.J.

I can't believe my little boy turned four.  It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant, and was soooo excited to become a mommy!  I love this little boy to the moon and back.  He is constantly making me laugh, has such a sweet and sensitive heart, and he loves his family.  This year he wanted a Superman party, so that is exactly what he got!  We started the day off with waffles, ice cream, strawberries, and whip cream.  Yummy!

 Then he got to open his present from josh and I which was two superman capes and two masks, which I did  make!  I was pretty proud with how they turned out.  Granny had the shirt specially made with his name on it, so he was set for the party!  He was so excited.

 I love this little dude!

 I made the cake as well with help from my wonderful mother.  I was pretty proud of how this turned out as well.  J.J. thought that it was awesome so thats all that mattered!

 And where else would J.J. want his birthday party other than Chuck-E-Cheese!

 He was so excited to have his friends there and to be the center of attention.  I was so glad that he actually liked the cape and didn't want to take it off!

 Little sister on a ride.  Love how she has her little legs crossed!

 Cute little girlies.

Just eating some pizza!

 Some of the guests.  Reagan

Brighton and Rozlyn

  Opening presents.  He got spoiled!  You would have thought it was Christmas with as much stuff as this little boy got.

 Pappa giving him his very own real set of golf clubs.  He was so excited because he now has his own clubs he can take golfing.

 All of the fun stuff he ended up with!  What a spoiled lucky boy.

 Daddy teaching J.J. how to golf.  So cute.  He actually did really well too.

 He loves his new cape and masks, and wants to wear it all the time!  That means mom and dad did a good job deciding what to get him!

 All tired out from all the fun and excitement from the day.  Sweet baby girl.

We had such a fun and good day.  J.J. mommy loves you so much and is so thankful you are my little boy.

Making cupcakes and Climbing stairs!

The kids had a blast making cupcakes with me for J.J.'s preschool class, and for his party!  One of the best part about baking, licking the mixer!  Mmmm.  Love my cute little helpers!

 This little lady is learning how to climb up the stairs!  I have to be careful now because every time I look away, she is heading upstairs!  What a cutie pie she is.

Painting fingernails and toenails!

Bailey and J.J. were begging me to paint their fingernails and toenails so what did we do?  We had a little painting party!  They both love to get their nails painted so we had a fun time doing it!  Dad doesn't love that we paint J.J.'s, but how can we leave him out?  He just wants in on the fun!  He always says, "Is daddy going to be mad?"  I think Josh is use to it by this point!  

 Looks like someone got a hold of the camera!  I love finding pictures that the kids have taken by themselves!  Too funny.

 A little wrestling before bed!

 And she is out for the night!  I guess the painting and wrestling exhausted her.

The Living Planet Aquarium

We went to The Living Planet Aquarium for the preschool field trip.  I love that I am not work anymore and am able to join my kids for every field trip.  I am so thankful that right now I am able to be at home with my kids, and I am surely not going to take it for granite.  The kids loved all the fish as usual.  I think the penguins are their favorite.  They love watching them jump and dive into the water.  We had a great time, and always enjoy going.  Bailey was afraid of this frog, so we didn't get a picture of her on it this year!

 Enjoying the ride and all the cool fish!

 They were too into eating their apple to get a picture taken!  At least it was an apple this time!  Usually its candy!
