Jackson turns 7!

By the time I grabbed my phone to take a picture jack was asleep on the couch outside!


And anything Jackson does, Bella does too!


We had a fun day! We went swimming with our friends Bre and Brandon. We went to mcdonalds for jacks birthday dinner, them we had a family party with cake and presents and lots of happy birthday wishes!
We made a huge sign for jacks birthday that hung all day and he wore a special big birthday hat most of the day. I think jack felt very special today.

Playing with the Cook family

We love the Cook family! Liz is the mom and she is amazing! She has 5 children and her husband is deployed. She homeschools all of them! I am planning on taking notes everytime I am around her.
They came over this morning to play and we made a birthday sign and a cake for jacks birthday tomorrow! Ally, Lauren, Hannah and Sophie were a huge help and so fun! Then we painted fingernails together! I love having so many girls to play with!





The 4 boys were upstairs enjoying eachother equally as much. I asked Jackson if he had fun after they left and he said "it was great!"

Art projects

We went to Michaels and the kids each pick a couple of art projects they wanted to do. This is the first. They each picked a wood craft they wanted to paint.
Kate picked a cute jewelry box with a mirror.


They each drew a picture of Thier project and colored the picture how they were planning on painting it. I wanted to avoid any meltdowns of them "messing up" and painting areas the wrong color. It worked!


Chauncey painted a castle with a dragon inside.


Bella picked a purse.


Jack picked a doghouse.

After they dried we used the cricut andade vinyl to decorate and label them.

Kates new best friend Bre

When we got home from church today there was a very special package on the doorstep. It said to:Kate from:Bre
Kate smiled so big when we read those words. She felt so special opening her gift. Bre is our neighbor. She is so wonderful and sweet! Bre has had Kate over to make crafts and Kate just fell in love with her. We are so blessed to have such amazing neighbors!


Bre gave Kate some crafty things. She especially loves the pink one.





She also made an adorable card for Kate that Kate is keeping in her "special box" to keep it safe.

Morning at the movies

There is a new 14 screen theater 3 miles from our house so we went to check it out this morning.
It was so much fun for me to see each of them enjoying themselves. They were so well behaved and so excited!








They each got a small cute box of popcorn and a soda. I think that's why they were so well behaved!












































Look how grown up Bella looks! She is such a fun and happy and funny little girl.
