Thanks to that darn Facebook I haven't posted anything here in almost 2 years! :( boo

Happy Birthday Jack! 7 years old.

Coming back to write ...

Bad Bad Blogger

One of my soon to be 7 year old! BUT he is STILL six!!!!!

Not sure if anyone still stops by or not? Anyway, I will post one tonight and hope to post more often. Bryn is getting so big!

The Butterflies and Flowers.

Olive is our new caterpiller we got from our trip to the butterfly encounter. Should be fun to watch him grow into a butterfly in the next week or so.

Maybe one day soon I can finish going though these. I am months and months behind on my pictures!!!

She Walks!

She has been walking more and more these days, so cute!

We Have Pea Pods!!!

We finally have something green growing, and it is a miracle. I do NOT have a green thumb so I am excited to finally have something growing that I (and the kids) grew from seeds. Jack was so excited he even wanted to eat it, at least try!

Then and Now!

So this was a project I stared last year and MUST get back to and finish. My brother was in town last summer and we recreated a childhood picture, he was a such a trooper. I promised his girlfriend I was post this a LONG time ago, oops. More to come.... This one is me and my brother John (always Johnnie to me) age 5 and me around 6 months in 1976.

Storytime with Alex!

Alex has started to read and is doing so well, especially since he is only three! He wants to be just like big brother Jack who loves to read. What a cutie pie!

Yogurt Face!

She loved her yogurt, yum! I have more I may add later, I have so many cute ones.

What a difference a year makes!

Such great kids!

And for a look back, here is the original Bryn Video from when she was brand new!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Cars taste so yummy!

More evidence she has big brothers.

Flashback Friday! Scoop Lives...

Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved everything about construction trucks. He lived and breathed them! By the age of 2, he could tell you just about anything and everything there is to know about each construction machine truck there ever was. Bob the Builder was a popular must see TV show, along with big machines videos and TLC specials. Flash forward a few years and another little boy finds Scoop (bulldozer character from bob the builder) in the garage, in a pile to give away. It pained me to even think to give away the once treasured Scoop, but good ole Scoop made his way back inside, thanks to boy #1's little brother!

Alex is no where near Jack's funny obsession, and quickly lost interest (Alex likes to try a little of everything). He did have a fun day with scoop though. I even had to do a hard search for Bob the Builder on demand, that show was hard to find even when Jack was that little. Either way, I thought it was cute and it brought back a flood of memories of my little Jack the builder. Sadly, Jack does not remember much about his beloved big machines, he is into science and space things these days!

For my local readers!

If you know anyone having a baby soon, please pass on my info from my website blog! Thanks...

Soccer!

Ok, so these are a couple month old already and the last soccer game was last week, but thats how far behind I am! So the boys played soccer for the first time(or any sport for that matter). They had different teams of course and seem to have fun. It was a lot of fun watch Alex's team especially, since they are so young and kind of just run around! Jack had fun on his team too, but I think he liked talking to his new girl friend on the field more than playing lol.

Back.

Been almost a month since my last post, reason? Just have not had much time to go through pictures. Anyway, here one from yesterday of my girl to get me started again.

The Next Day!

So the 2nd tooth was just too lose for him to eat his dinner, so he worked on it all night. Finally after about 3 hours we heard heard his sweet 6 year old voice say, "I DID IT." So the tooth fairy came back again and this time took a real tooth! His "big" tooth is already coming down, must have been for some time now.

Big Tooth Week!

So yesterday after the boys soccer games and after we got in the car Jack said he had to go to the bathroom. Jim took him in a rush and on the way he tripped on the sidewalk and scrapped his knee and nose and lost his top tooth. Still in a rush to the bathroom they could not stop to look for the tooth until on the way back, and they could not find it. Not only did he lose his first tooth but it is now LOST! Boo Hoo, not the way we had imagined this day would be. Anyway, after a few tears and some patching up, he is adjusting to his new empty space in his mouth. The tooth that was next to it should have been the first to go since it has been loose for like 9 months and is now just hanging on by a thread.

AND on top of all that, my actual baby is popping out 4 new teeth on top including the one that Jack lost. So within a matter of days my last baby got her front teeth and my first baby lost his. We will be adding front teeth on the x-mas list now!


So here he is just before bed with the tooth fairy box that you put your tooth in and place under your bed. He put in a tiny note to the tooth fairy instead of his tooth.
It says: Dear Tooth-Fairy I tripped and my tooth got lost
He made it so small so she can hold it, because the tooth fairy is tiny (isn't she?).

Happy Thanksgiving

(click to make bigger) Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! We had a great first Thanksgving as a new compleate family of 5. Jack made thanksgiving popcorn in the morning (just like Charlie Brown) for him and Alex. Food was great, yum!

Check out his mad writing skills!

And he is only 3 years old! I didn't even have to tell him how to spell it lol.

Guess all that practice on the wall with crayons paid off haha!

Interesting video to see for those who celebrate xmas!

As always, better to pause the blog song so you can hear!

Seriously, how cute is this kid?

Trick or Treat!

Two Teefers!

Jedi Jack!

Even though he really is going to be harry Potter for halloween!

p.s. Kim, I tried not to steal your blog song, but how could I not? lol

Jack's Big Stage Debut!

(PAUSE THE BLOG SONG TO HEAR/TURN SOUND ON)

For Jack's birthday we went to Wonder Works (interactive exhibits type place) and later did the magic dinner show. We had so much fun, and they called Jack on stage to get in on the act. He was TOO cute. The video was taken by Jim's dad (thanks Dick) and the first part is missing where they ask his name. He said Jedi Jack lol, anyway here is part of it.

Alex and the Show!

So Alex weaseled his way up on stage, has to be just like big brother! I don't think my kids are shy lol!

Happy 6th Birthday to my (first) Baby Boy!

Just for comparision I add his 7th birthday cake!

Jedi Jack cake! He had a great birthday. Grandma/Grandpa and Snow Grandma were here. We all went to Wonder Works and spent the day playing games and then we to the dinner magic show. He had a blast, I have not uploaded pictures from there yet, they are on my little camera and we have been busy!

A Big Thank You to my blog readings and My Very Own Jack Potter!

So guess who is going to be Harry Potter for Halloween? He is SOOOOO cute. He has been wearing those goofy fake glasses for 4 days now, every where lol. I woke up this morning to the sweetest voice "Hi Mommy" right next to my face in the dark with those glasses on!!! He will take them off at night and set them on his night stand and squint a little like he can't see without them. I hope he never really has to wear real ones, but he is cute in them haha!
Oh, and he has been adding the lightning scar everyday for weeks now lol! Too cute.
Also, I want to thank everyone who stops by my little blog and especially to the ones who leave a comment! Just makes my day!
