Poor little girl..

 Doesn't this just break your heart?  It breaks mine, thats for sure.  Our poor little girl has such a nasty cold.  She has spent most of the day today napping and most of the night last night crying.  She sounds as bad as she looks.  Crying wears her out so much that she wants to fall asleep afterwards.  It truely makes me want to cry looking at her.  She looks so sad and so sick.

I know you are probably thinking it's a bit weird of me to take these photos... but I feel like we need to cherish and remember as many memories, whether they are good or bad.  My goal with doing this blog is that I can print it out and keep it to look back on our memories.

Lets hope this little girl gets back to herself soon.  She has a big week coming up and is turning the BIG ONE next Sunday.  We need her ready to smash and eat up that cake!

Preschool

I wish I could take my camera with to Alex's preschool and take photo's of his face sometimes when I pick him up.  It's really priceless.  I suppose I could take my camera... but I don't want to look like a dork mom or anything.  Haha!

He is really enjoying it there and I am sad that he only has one more week left and then it's a month break before the fall session starts.  Today when I walked into the room he was sitting by his friend Cooper and had the biggest smile on his face.  When I ask him about her he just gets this cute little grin.  It's too funny.  Yesterday they walked over to the playground and he thought that was really cool.  He could see the kids swimming at the big pool and told me we need to buy a big pool like that.  Somehow I don't think that would fit in the backyard!

Him going to preschool has really been one of the best decisions we could have made.  It's crazy to think that just next September he will be going to 4k!

Cutie Patootie!

I guess you could say that I am having some fun doing Rhoslyn's hair!  These photo's are from her first little pig tails.  She hates when I do her hair and it can be quite the battle.  She'll learn...  =)

First day of preschool

We have been talking about this for a few weeks and he has been so excited!  Last night we told him that today was the big day.  He was so excited that he couldn't even fall asleep.  He giggled and smiled every time he got out of bed.  Finally I told him that the faster he falls asleep the faster preschool will come.  It did the trick, and he finally went to bed around 9:30.

When we arrived he was a bit intimidated by all of the kids, but when the teachers told the kids to sit in a circle he sat down and that was my cue to leave.  I got there a bit early and peaked through the window on the door and it looked like he was having a fun time.

When the teacher opened the door for the parents to come in Alex put his head down a bit.  When I asked him what was wrong he said there were a lot of kids, but later in the car he told me he was sad that I picked him up because he wanted to stay at preschool.  He told me that he met a child named Cooper and I asked if he had played with HIM... his reply was "No mom, Cooper is a girl."  Oops.  He also told me there were more Alex's in the class.

He said they played with dinosaurs and saw lady bugs and read a story about ears and hearing.  He told me he wanted to go to regular school because they had more trucks.  I laughed at this.

I should mention that this is more of a camp program through the park and rec department.  He will also be attending something similar in the fall but it will be more preschool based.  They hold the class in the community center so the teachers bring activities and toys.  I think he was sad about the fact that there wasn't a room full of toys.  :)

He told me he had a lot of fun and he really liked preschool! 

Miss Dramatic!

Let me just start by saying that Rhoslyn has always been a bit dramatic in her own little ways...

Recently she has taken it to a new level.  She has started her own little tantrums.  I guess she is hitting that age when the fun really begins.  Oh joy! 

Take food away from her that she is cramming down her throat... she arches her back and bites down as hard as she can so you can't get it out.

Take away her sippy cup that is empty... screams and cries  (as if the world is ending).

And heaven forbid a certain little boy touches her the wrong way or accidentally pushes her a bit from being too silly...

On a side note, she is becoming a pretty fast crawler and is exploring more of the house on her own.  She loves getting into EVERYTHING!  She has two bottom teeth.  Loves to eat shoes and sandals (YUCK)!  Loves to wave hi and bye.  And... loves, loves, loves playing with her brothers toys!

Love lazy Sundays...

We love having lazy Sundays around here.

Typical Sunday morning...

Getting donuts and fountain coke from Kwik Trip (yep... real healthy)

Mom taking a nap only an hour or two after waking up

Watching the Disney Channel all morning

And... turning the living room into a disaster (see photo above)!

We might throw in some laundry and cleaning too.  :)

My little pony tail girl

Rhoslyn and her new hairstyle.  She's sportin' the pony tail just like her Mama!

Not that she likes getting it done...

Oops!

We had a big ol' oops in our house today!  Rhoslyn got a hold of Billy's cell phone.  He locked the keys and let her have it.  Some how she unlocked the keys and dialed 911!  She hung up the phone and they called back to make sure everything was okay.  Of course we told them everything was fine and it was a mistake... a cop still came to our door a bit later just to check in.  We felt terrible!! 

Not even one and she already knows how to dial for help!  ;)

Happy 4th of July

We have had a great weekend.  Alex recieved a used-new to him Jeep powerwheel on Friday and has fallen in love with it.  Saturday Grandma Jackie came over to babysit Rhoslyn while Billy and I took Alex to his first ever movie in the theatre... Cars 2!  He thought it was really loud at first so we moved to the back and he enjoyed it.  On Sunday we had some friends over to help celebrate the 4th of July and the kids had a lot of fun playing outside. 

Rhoslyn is also enjoying her new found freedom of crawling.  She loves to try and unplug my laptop, push buttons on the phone and remote (when they are left on the floor) and pull books out of the bookshelf.  She also loves to annoy her brother by playing and grabbing all of his toys.
