Jumpin' Jacks

On Saturday, the kids and I headed to a birthday party for one of our friends. Their little girl was turning 3 and had her party at Jumpin' Jacks. I had never been but it was a really neat experience and Maddie has already requested her party to be there too. 

AND, as a side note.....who in their right mind would pay over $500 to secure the mega party package they offer?! Seriously....that's ridiculous! In looking at what they offered, I decided we will probably do the smaller package for Maddie in March, but even THAT is pushing it. Holy cow, people!

Ok, back to reality now: :)

The party was a lot of fun but wore this mama out!! I'm not firing on all cylinders these days and I was man-ing it alone since Jaime was coaching a tourney. Thank goodness for afternoon naps!

Mesh Wreath

I've been wanting to learn how to make these mesh wreaths for quite a while. Luckily, I have an aunt and cousins who do a great job and were kind enough to show me! This is my first attempt and I think I did an OK job! My hope is to get good enough that maybe I can try and sale them!

Kindergarten Picture

Maddie's school pictures finally came in and I was pleased at what I saw! They turned out really great and she looked beautiful as ever!

An Announcement

A few weeks ago, I suspected I was probably pregnant but with Jaime in the hospital; I was just a little busy! When he got home, I finally got around to testing and it confirmed what I pretty much already knew! We were thrilled, but cautious, since my risk of miscarrying seems to be pretty high. I waited a few days before I called my doctor and kept things mostly to ourselves. I knew that I could get in for an early viability sono at about 6 1/2 weeks, so we set that up and continued to wait. In the meantime, I've been super nauseated and grateful, because that's usually a good sign! Today, at 6 weeks and 6 days, we went to our appt and saw a fabulous heartbeat! The baby measured exactly 6 weeks and 6 days! We were so happy! Looks like this little one will be set to make his or her appearance sometime in June and we can't wait! Thank you Lord for such a special gift!

Trick or Treat, 2013

Last night was Halloween and we had a fun time taking the kids out for candy! They girls were dressed as ballerinas and Easton as a scarecrow. Precious! Aunt Mel came over and dressed up too. Of course the girls LOVED seeing that! After eating pizza and taking some pictures, we headed out around the local neighborhoods. The girls knew just what to do. Easton, clearly can't talk well, but he knew to stick his bucket out and they would plop something in it for him! He was the cutest thing ever! We were out for about 2 hours and boy was I tired when we were done but I love fun memories with my kids!
