Jacobs "guys"

Lilly is growing up...

As you can see Lilly is no longer a baby....

{The weather was really nice a few weeks ago and we actually got to play in the backyard

{these were taken at Marley farms, Jacob had a field trip and we got to tag along}

{such a big girl!}

{sleeping children are the cutest}

{Lilly loves shoes, she loves to walk around in my shoes, Jacobs shoes, her shoes...but I think she likes my heels best because of the noise they make...}

Jacob

Jacob started Preschool this week, and he loves it. On the first day all the moms were lined up waiting hand and hand with their child to enter the classroom. I was at the back of the line because surprisingly I wasn't in a hurry to be "Jacob free" for a couple of hours. Jacob had other ideas, he just walked past everyone and went into his classroom, no big deal. So I waited in line by myself to let the teacher know which kid was mine and that he was already making himself feel comfortable. I think being in nursery at church has really helped with things like this. When I came back to pick him I could see him sitting in his chair waiting for his turn to leave. He was so cute, I love him so much. And I don't understand why most of the time he drives me crazy, but the minute I leave him somewhere I instantly miss him. Is it sad that my 3 year old is one of my best friends? He was so excited to tell me all about his day when I picked him up.

Boys will be boys

This week Jacob had his second visit to an urgent care for stitches. He was playing with his friends at the playground at the Chandler Mall and as he was running he "fell on the lady". The lady said he hit the padded seat, but we have a hard time believing it wasn't something else (like a laptop). Shannon asked for first aid and did not receive much help. She was directed to call the Fire Department, who got there just before I arrived. They wrapped his head up and did some tests to make sure he didn't have a concussion.

The Fire Department recommended we take him to the closest urgent care. Lucky for us, it wasn't too busy. When they took the wrap off to look at it, I couldn't believe how deep the cut was (again, from a padded seat?) The doctor wanted to glue it, but after examining the clean wound he recommended stitches. Jacob wasn't a big fan of the needle...

Three stitches and a band-aid later, and he was good to go. So far, no signs of a concussion or TBI.

I have a feeling this is not the last time he will be getting stitches...

we needed somthing to do....

Kids

{i got the idea from here }

i can't wait to frame them...I'm curious would it be weird to have them in our room? or should i put them in the kids rooms?

Matt's in Mexico...

...so I made a couple cards today while the kids were napping...



and then tonight after the kids and I ate dinner I debated weather or not I wanted Dairy Queen, but I settled for this {which is actually better then dairy queen, and I would love to drink one everyday} It was just what I needed to get me through one more night till Matt gets home :) {and then he can have a turn with the kids}
