Preschool

Here are some pictures of Isaac's first day of Preschool. He was so ready to go! I was so nervous that he would be upset while he was at school but he did great! He drew a picture of his favorite animal (a spider) and his favorite color is green. I am just waiting for the day I pick him up from school and Ms. Tonya has some hilarious stories for me! He did tell me that the kids at his table were laughing at him, I asked him why, and he said because he was "just being so funny"! He told me that he was pretending to ride a horse and he fell off his chair. I asked him if Ms. Tonya got upset with him for doing that and he said, "No Ms. Tonya let's me do that all the time"! Ha! Boy he must already be the teachers' pet! He is such a good little guy and I sure missed him while he was gone- we have been together just the two of us for the past 2 years!

Show & Tell

Janessa had show & Tell today. She decided to make something and she came up with this darling playground! Check out the details, she did most of the work, I helped a little with the slide. She saw me throwing away a sour cream container and she asked if she could use it, hence the darling seesaw! So creative!

The Calling

On top of all that goes on in my life, I have now been called to be the Primary President in our ward! Someone tell me how Heavenly Father could really, honestly, be able to do this to a woman with a newborn! Just kidding! It is going well so far- John may need to be released soon to help with Lea though!

Lea- 2.5 months

Look at how she has grown! I wish I could figure out how to tame that hair!

Isaac's Many Talents

I thought I would do a segment on Isaac alone! He is the funniest kid I have ever met. Some of these pictures and videos will attest to that!
He is also very talented and very smart! I love him so much!

Isaac doing The Haka


Dressing up your younger brother is just so much fun!

I found Isaac lining up all of his money, it kept him busy for a very long time!

Janessa Is Seven

I can't believe my big girl is seven! She is such a sweet daughter! What a helper she has been to me this summer! What am I going to do when I have to actually get a diaper all by myself! I love Janessa and I am so glad that she was born first in our family! Only four more years until we have our built-in babysitter!

Isaac's Birthday song for Janessa...this just sums up his personality to a tee!

The Birthday Card


French Toast for her birthday breakfast, I was happy that I didn't have to go out and get doughnuts, which is usually what they request for breakfast. We remembered half-way through breakfast that we needed to have a candle in the French Toast!

We had Janessa's Princess Party the Saturday after her birthday. We had nine little girls, well Princesses, here for the "ball". Janessa wanted to play "hot and cold" so we hid the crown and each girl got a chance to find the crown. We had a dance-off and ate chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream (she takes after her mother).
Here are some of the darling pictures of her wonderful day!
