5 And 3 Year Old Pics

Last week I had the kids 5 and 3 year old pictures taken, by a wonderful photographer Amy Wilberg. She did such an amazing job. The kids were so cold during the pictures, but we were able to get some really great pictures. If you want to check out more of her work check out her blog. http://amywilbergphotography.blogspot.com/

Addisons 3rd Birthday

Sunday my baby girl turned 3 years old! Since her birthday was on a Sunday I decided that I would do a little family birthday party for her. It was way fun! We just had Hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, chips, and of course cake and ice cream for dessert.

Oreo Cookies

The other day I decided to let the kids have a little treat after dinner. I had some oreo cookies, and well you can't have oreos without milk. I think this may be the first time they have had oreos and milk. I usually hide them from the kids so there is more for me and Dan. They have had just the cookie, but I really can't remember if they have had them with milk before. So here are a few pics of them with there cookies and milk.

Addy And Bye Bye Binky

Today we sent Addisons binkies to the binky fairy. She did really well with sending them off she did not have a problem with letting them go at all. Even when we put her to bed tonight she did not even cry for a binky. She did so much better then I thought she would, she was so much more attached to her binky, then Jace was. Way to go Addy we are so proud of you! You are now an official big girl!

Listening for a heart beat.





She has been having a lot of fun playing with her pony, giving it medication, giving it a shots which is actually a thermometer, and listening to the heart beat.





I also wanted to post the video of it, but our computer for some reason wont ready the cd. I will have to see if I can record it off the t.v some how, or try and see if someone else can figure out how to get the video off of the cd.

31 Weeks

I decided to get some more belly shots since its been, about 3 months since the last time I had belly shots taken. The pictures were taken my personal photographer Jace.

30 Week Ultrasound

When I went in for my 28 week apt. (I think it was 28 weeks) I was measuring a week in half big. so to be on the safe side my Dr . wanted me to get an ultrasound to see if the baby was big or if I could have extra fluid. Everything came back fine with the ultra sound. It was so fun to see the baby again. It was really nice to be able to have Dan there for that apt. He was able to finish work early and able to go the the ultra sound. I hope I remembered everything right on the ultrasound pictures.

My Little Chef!

At preschool a couple of weeks ago Jace made homemade bread. He came home and told me all about it. How he followed the recipe and help make it. He was so excited to come home and eat it. Since then he keeps asking me how I make things and whats in them. So I tell him how I did it, and what was in it. He asks if I have a recipe for it. And if he can have a copy of the recipe. Its so fun to see him learn new things everyday in preschool. I LOVE his teacher she is so amazing! Last week she did a little test with them to see how much they know. Jace can count to 16 she had the letters A-J and Jace could name and recognize them. He needs practice writing his little a he writes it backwards. So we have been working on that, and he is getting so much better. Jace has also started to read, I can't believe my 4 year old little boy is reading. He has started out with the sight words. He knows all the ones he has been working on, which are- mom, be, you, stay, a, tip, see, pig, I, like, my, little, come, my, dog. I am amazed at how fast he is picking up reading.
