Cookie Monster!

This morning my sister and I took cupcakes to Reece’s class at school! Reece and I made the cupcakes last night. We made them to look like cookie monster’s with the class!

They are studying the letter “b” this week. Every Friday is show-n-tell and whatever you bring has to start with the letter of the week. So she brought a blue balloon, a ball, wore her blue bunny shirt and made blue cupcakes! She had a blue bow in her hair…not sure where that went! And of course she always flashes those baby blue eyes! :)

Hubby was sad he didn’t get to come with us. He is replacing our hot water heater today, along with the floor under it. Fun times!

Tomorrow we have our third birthday pool party in the last week! Hope you all have a great weekend!

3 ,2, 1 Blast Off!

I’m trying to be all “super mom” this school year. I’m going to stay as involved as I can with the boys and their school and classrooms and I’m going to document the crap out of Reece’s last year at pre-school! Lucky you! :) I really love Reece’s teachers. Her lead teacher had the boys too and they could not have been more prepared for “big school”. She runs things very similar to a regular classroom. They just finished up on a unit on space! She has this big wall in her room and it’s always devoted to what the kids are studying, hence the picture above.(Betcha can’t guess which astronaut is hers! Hint: it’s the fully colored pretty one, duh!)

Our sweet girl is growing up. Tear. She picks out her own clothes and dresses herself(and has started doing her own hair). I almost don’t even get a vote on what she wears anymore. BOO.

And note that I said ALMOST! :)

Back to School!

Today Griffin and Peyton went back to school as a 4th grader and a 3rd grader! They are growing so fast. I am so very thankful for healthy kiddos, but dang they grow too fast!

Peyton has Griffin’s teacher from last year! LOVE! Griffin’s teacher is about our age and super sweet! I think he will love her! He wasn’t very excited about going back to school but Peyton sure was!

Such a good picture of him…and SO out of focus. BOO…

He loves that dang cat. I mean, look at him!

LOVE!

Here’s to a fabulous new school year!!! I love a fresh start!!!!

Another Baby Girl!

There seems to be a lot of pregnant people in our life right now! :) And several of them are due on my sister’s birthday! Not sure what was going on around here that day but people were apparently using their time wisely! ;)

My step-sister, Katie, is one of the ones due on Allison’s birthday! She had a gender reveal party on Saturday! I decided a few weeks ago that it was a girl because she called to ask me if she could have fried crab claws! I KNEW because I craved them so bad with Reece! (And I don’t like seafood!) All the food at the party was what she is craving. And also what I craved with Reece.

I was trying to get a picture of the three of us, Reece was trying to annoy her Pop! ;)

Yea, he’s gonna be a fun Dad!

We can’t wait to meet sweet Paisley Katherine!

Turkey Burgers

I thought I would share Josh’s famous turkey burger recipe! I made them last night and they were super!

There’s not really much of a recipe, just take two pounds of ground turkey and mix in a packet of ranch, then pat them out like regular burgers and grill! Wa-la! That’s it!

Now, if you are Negative Nancy and say you don’t like turkey, let me just tell you this….I don’t like turkey either! I don’t like it at Thanksgiving, I don’t like it at Christmas, I don’t like it with a fox, in a box…hahaha.

But I LOVE turkey burgers and they are SO much better for you than a regular hamburger!

They are also great with turkey bacon on them!

And we pretty much don’t even turn the grill on without grilling pineapple. Try it on your next burger!!!! YUMMO!

Beach Bums

I know. I know, I know, I know.

You are sick of hearing about us going to the beach. We just wanted to squeeze one more trip in before school starts!

Spoiled brats.

He’s wrapped. Enough said. My meal at Calypso Joe’s Friday. Ha. That’s healthy! Friday and Saturday the water was full of nasty green algae. GAROSS. If you know me in real life you know I don’t get into any type of water that I can’t see my feet in. Well, being a mom makes you do things sometimes…

  Yea, so they have any type of fist bump down pat…

 

 

 

After going through these pictures I notice that I am only in like 2 and so is Griffin. Oops.

We had a fun time. I am pretty much ready for school to start. I love a good routine and the summer just gets it all out of whack! Oh, we decided not to play football after all. It was just too much. They would be practicing four days a week after school and then play on Saturdays, some of the games are over an hour away. Just too much for us right now! Maybe next year!

Level 1 Gymnasts!

At the beginning of the summer, Reece and my sweet little niece were moved to the Level 1 gymnastics class! Normally you don’t move to this class until you are 5 but what can I say? They’re advanced, duh! :)

And they rock those leotards!

Griffin and Peyton wrapped up Summer Camp last week! They had a lot of fun, but I wanted to give them a little break to be lazy and sleep in before school started!(And before football season starts! Yes, I said football season! I’ll be the nervous Mom.)
