| Trey did great at his 4 year well check. I can not believe my baby is F.O.U.R.(more on that later:)!!! He did great, was excited as always to see Dr. Allison and show him this Birthday Card that Aunt A sent him :) |
 |
| Looking so mature. My my...next thing I know he will be posing in his cap and gown. Sniff. Sniff. |
 |
| At 20 months Caroline is a natural "momma" and loves playing in her new kitchen and with her baby dolls. She loves to set them on the chairs or in a bassinet and "cook" for them. I love watching her do this as I hope she gets this warm, gentle nature with babies from watching me and how I treat her. |
 |
| I did some research before finally purchasing this kitchen. This is a great kitchen. I love the wood and the corner unit is perfect for our room. I looked at Hape, Plan Toys and Pottery Barn Kids and finally settled on this one from Kidcraft. It has everything. A freezer, pantry, chalkboard for kitchen notes, a phone, curtains, place to hang pots, counter space(which alot of the other kitchens don't have for some reason) for "cutting, chopping, washing" food, dishwasher and washing machine, oven, stove, and bottom shelving for odds and ends. Caroline LOVES washing her clothes or the baby clothes. Caroline is so much fun and I enjoy having her home with me so much; she is a ray of sunshine. |

| Trey's class did a project where each child brought home Mimi the Monkey for a weekend and wrote in a class journal, with pictures about her weekend! By the time we had Mimi she had already been to the Zoo, the Children's Mueseum, NASA, and Galvestion sooo the pressure was on :) The kids had a BLAST, however Michael and I were wiped and ready for Mimi to be passed on to the next lucky family :) We started off Mimi's weekend with a little bike racing between Team Trey + Team Busther...poor Mimi had no idea what she was in for...Hang on Mimi this is just the beginning. |
 |
| Then Trey wanted to make a rocket ship for the two of them (mimi + trey) to play in so we took an old cardboard box and got to painting...while Mimi supervised and Busther ran herself silly trying to catch Mimi. |
 |
| This is the "unedited" version of Mimi's weekend at our house. We did not include these photos in the journal. Im sure Mimi has been in worse places and Trey slept with her. Gross! |
 |
| Really getting into his project he wanted the inside painted too. |
 |
| While Mimi is no longer with us this rocketship sure is. Its in the playroom and the kids love to crawl in and out of it! |
 |
| Treating our guest to Dinner. |
 |
| Washing Windows for chore money! Trey loved it that it got to stand on a real ladder. |
 |
| Caroline excited to get a little Mimi time all to herself :) |
 |
| Saturday we headed to the Acquarium! |
 |
| Taking a pic with this animal! |
 |
| Holding Mimi for Brother while he is in the restroom! Sweet Sister. We ended our weekend with a trip to the Arboretum...can't find the pics :( All in All Mimi had a wonderful weekend and Michael and I were happy to settle in for some Downton Abbey on Sunday evening :) |
 |
| Yee-Haw! Rodeo Day at school was a blast! Nothing like roasting smores to get you going. |
