Ty's First Sleepover

Ty had one of our neighbor friends spend the night on Friday. We had talked about it all week and on Fri. when I talked to the mom she said Scott was a little scared and probably wouldn't spend the night, but still wanted to play. After playing for a couple of hours, and by playing I mean trading batman and spiderman costumes about 10 times, I told Scott it was time to go home, he replied with, "why? I'm going to spend the night" So we walked him across the street and we reasked his parents about spending the night and got jammies and toothbrush, etc. The boys played for a little while longer and then I let them watch a little tv. Ty kept getting up so I went in and sat with them until they were asleep, about 10min. Ty got up at 6:15 and Scott slept ALL the WAY until 7:00 (I'm being saracastic if you can't tell). Really they both did great and we would love to do it again soon! The reason I'm saying "I" this whole blog is b/c Jeff was out of town in Vancouver on a preview trip for the Passion Conference we are helping with next month. Also, Emma isn't mentioned b/c she had a bday party to go to, where she got to ride in a LIMO-AT AGE 6!!! and then spent the night at a friend's house--our babies are growing up WAY too fast.

High School Musical on Ice

A couple of weeks ago we got to go to High School Musical on Ice. The kids were SO excited about it and loved every minute.

Ty and Emma were both WORN OUT by the end of the night!

Ty's First Day of Mother's Day Out!!

Well Ty had his first day of Mother's Day Out today. We got there and he walked straight into his room and started playing with his best buddy from school Jakob. They both went to the workbench and then after a few pics he came and gave me a hug!! He loves "school" and I'm so glad he can go.

The New BATMAN

Ty and Emma received some happy's today in the mail from MiMi and PaPa. This was part of Ty's--Batman wings that pop out (and don't fit through the doorway b/c they're so big) and a batman mask. Ty LOVED it. He was hilarious and wanted to go see himself in the mirror but would get stuck going through the doorways!!! Part of Emma's was some makeup and I got to be the proud recipient of a makeover when she got home from school. Unfortunately we don't have any pics of that yet.

The Little Gym

Ty had his first day of Little Gym for this fall last Thursday. They learned about handling the ball safely and this Thurs. they'll be starting soccer. Ty told me on Thursday afternoon that he liked to call the little Gym "Practice", I think he's ready for organized sports!!!

1st day of 1st grade!!!!

Well today was the big FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR 1ST GRADE!!!!! When I asked Emma last night if she was nervous about anything, she said getting the answers wrong on the test. I quickly reassured her there would be no tests today and that when she did have tests we would study for them so she would know the information, and that all we ever wanted her to do was her best and if she got some answers wrong, that was ok as long as she did her best. Then I asked her what she was most excited about--she said sitting in her own desk!! This morning Emma did not want to wake up -- but after she did she had waffles for breakfast, sat and watched a little tv, got dressed, brushed her teeth, we did her hair and then the pictures started. She wanted to take one outside to act like she was riding the bus!!! Then after pics we headed off to school, it started raining, actually pouring!!!! By the time we actually got to school (a 5-10 min drive took about 25min!!!) it was just sprinkling. We walked her in, she sat down at her desk and the teacher had them start a picture of themselves exactly how they looked on the first day. We took a couple of pics of her and then we left. She looked so big sitting in her own desk!!! Jeff and I weren't nearly as emotional as last year, but it is sad to see your little one grow up so fast. The time goes by WAY to fast.

The Muppets and Disney

On Sunday night I realized my childhood and my kids childhoods were colliding. What I mean by this was the Muppets were on a show with alot of our favorites from the Disney channel. I can remember when I was little sitting and watching the Muppets on Sat. nights. It was so crazy to see them come back to life with our new faves!! Not a big deal to some of you, but me, Jeff and the kids loved it!!!
