6

Today, Jake officially turned 6 and he is the HAPPIEST boy in the entire WORLD. He is such a sweetie and has a heart of gold!! I just love him so much! On Wednesday we picked him and Cameron up from school and surprised them with tickets to the Braves vs. Astros baseball game. Jake was so EXCITED!!!!! The best part of the evening was when JAKE caught a baseball and when Cameron got the baseball signed by Buddy Carlyle, who plays for the Braves. Here are A TON of highlights from our BIG night:

On Thursday, we had a small after school party for Jake. Dusty got me an early birthday gift, which was one of those giant cupcake pans, so I used it to make Jake and his friends CUPCAKES. Jake thought the GIANT cupcake was AWESOME and so did I. Here is to Jake and his love for BEN 10...



HapPy BiRtHdAY JaKe!!

Chick-Fil-A

The other day Chick-Fil-A was giving away free chicken sandwiches if you wore any kind of sports apparel. So, of course we headed down there and got our 5 FREE sandwiches. Man, were they yummy!

This little stinker would not take a picture for nothing!!! I even tried giving her my coke. Instead, she took off screaming, "MY COKE!"

Cute, Cute, Cute

How cute is this??!?!?!?!?!?! This makes me want to have another baby so I can have this amazing lady take the photograph! Why didn't I do cute poses of my three children like this when they were a couple weeks old??? Check out her site http://www.tracyraver.com/ and here are some more pictures that make my heart melt...


Oh, and NO more babies for Dusty and I. We have meet our MATCH and we have realized we are out numbered!! :)

First Day of School

I had these grand ideas that the first day of school was going to be a breeze. I envisioned my kids taking these perfect pictures and going home and relaxing with Dusty and ONE KID.

NEGATIVE!!

The boys did great. Well, expect for the picture process. Caroline on the other hand did HORRIBLE. Before we left the house she was upset because she did not get a name badge, a backpack, a lunch box and NEW SHOES!!!! I tried everything. I made her a name badge and even packed her a lunch. Nothing Worked!!! She also SCREAMED when Jake went to his class. She screamed his name the whole way out of the school, to the truck, and till we got home. I think she cried most of the day. In fact, today is day 3 of school and she is still crying. Man, is it going to be a very LONG week.

The night before school Jake kept giving me hugs and kisses and telling me how much he was going to miss me. On the first day he was a CHAMP! I can't believe he is in Kindergarten.

Cameron was super nervous to start 2nd grade and you can tell by this picture that he was not thrilled to go into his class or to have his picture taken.

The boys have adjusted very well, but I still have some work to do with CC. As for me, I'm back in school too. This is going to be a very very ruff semester. I'm taking 5 Psychology classes and a French class. I hope I survive this semester!!!!!

ER

The day after CC turned 2, she experienced her FIRST emergency room visit!!!! It was a very wild day. Before I post what happened I have to tell you that Miss CC uses EVERYTHING she can find to climb up on things. She uses pots & pans, Rubbermaid containers, boxes, toys...... I'm sure you get the picture. On this particular morning we were fixing to sit down for a late breakfast when we heard a LOUD bang and CC screaming. We ran into the kitchen to find our portable kitchen island on top of her and when we removed the island we realized she had a puncture wound to her left thigh. We rushed her to the ER, where she had x-rays of her legs and pelvis. We were so relieved when the doctor said she was okay. In fact, the puncture wound was not big enough for stitches. She would have a scar and lots of bruising, but she was Fine!!!!!!!! We are so very thankful that she was not badly hurt. The situation could have been a lot worse. We were not able to figure out what punctured her leg and we are happy to report that CC is back to her normal wild crazy self. Oh, and the kitchen island was placed on the curb for trash pick up.

These pictures of her leg look so good. When the accident first happened the puncture wound area was black and blue. After being at the ER for a couple of hours the blackness went away. I think that was what freaked Dusty and I out the most.

CC after the long day at the ER....
