An afternoon date with my little boy

There is a children's musician in our area that Jack really enjoys.  This certain musician was celebrating a Birthday and was having a concert!  I thought it would be a great surprise to treat Jack to an afternoon date with Momma and we could catch the concert together.  Turned out to be a wonderful idea :)  Jack was picked to go on stage with a couple other children and sing and dance to one of the songs, he was beaming!  I was sitting in the crowd smiling and giggling at how much fun he was having up there!  I loved my afternoon with Jack, I enjoyed watching him be a 5 1/2 year old boy and all the silliness that this age brings along.  I adore you Jack Charles!  We finished the evening off with our favorite pizza with Daddy and Josie girl followed by cupcakes from a local cupcake shop, YUMMY! 

Laughing at the silly songs!

Kisses!

An outside kinda day

It was nice here the other day that we were able to spend the afternoon playing outside.  Soaking up the sun!  A recap of our afternoon in pictures :)

Jack is such a great big brother!

Can't you just here her giggle!

Catching bugs!

Look at our sweet Autumn girl!

Kisses!

Space Day

All week at school Jack has been learning about Space.  They made a jet pack one day, a space helmet another day and have focused much of their attention around Space related activities.  Friday was the big Space Exploration day.  Another room at school was set up just for the Space Walk.  I dropped my astronaut off at school and saluted him, "Have a wonderful time exploring today, hope you make it back to Earth by 11:30 when I come back to pick you up!"  A giggle from Jack, a salute in return and then he was off.  I picked him up and his jet pack was filled with all sorts of goodies.  I said, "I'm so glad you made it back to Earth safe and sound!"  Jack's response, "Me too, but you know this was all just pretend, right Mom?  I just went down the hall, HAHAHA!"  He is such a crack up!  Guess I played along a little too well, HA! 

Here is our Astronaut, he was thrilled to be wearing his rocket shirt too!  Space helmet, complete with pipe cleaner microphone to communicate with fellow astronauts while exploring.

The "buttons" on the jet pack said, Go, Spin, Jack, Mom, and Dad

Such a fun week for our boy!

Five year old in the house

Just giving you a glimpse of what I find from time to time around the house.

A pink post it note stuck to the crib with Josie's name it.  Would you take a look at those letters, so amazing to me!  (you can click on the picture to make it bigger to check out his letters)  He is improving daily it seems with his writing and I think all the post it-ing he is doing is helping :) Love having a 5 year old little boy in the our home!

Hugs from us to you!

Creamy soup

It is the perfect day for some soup, care to join us?  We have a bowl of creamy baked potato soup and some warm, crusty, french bread waiting for you.  Don't be late :)

Kisses!

Eighteen Months

18 months ago today we became a family of 4!  Josephine Rose is our little darling....observant, silly, spunky, and so very happy.  Still in awe that she was chosen for us by our Heavenly Father.  Here is a look back at Josephine's First Birthday celebration just 6 short months ago.  I know some of you haven't seen the pictures yet so I thought I would share. Can't believe how much she has grown in the past 6 months, Happy Half Birthday to our Josie Rosie girl!

Invites I designed and made.
