They are growing up so fast!!

 

Where has the time gone?  Can you believe that Nate is 5 inches shorter and 10 pounds lighter than Juliet and he is 2.5 years younger than she is???  

 Minion onesies.  It's amazing what you can get your kids into because the other sibling has it.

This is from Zoo Boo last Saturday.  I wouldn't let Juliet wear her Elsa dress because I want it in good condition for Halloween.  This is her Rapunzel wedding dress, her Anna (frozen) crown and an Elsa braid.  Told her she was having an identity crisis!!  Haha!  Nate just loves being Captain America!

Our little pumpkins in the patch.  They see this everyday and scream PUMPKINS!  Juliet was able to stick 6 little pumpkins in that glitter purse.

Nate is 3

My sweet buddy bear turned 3 last week! 

It's been MY BIRTHDAY for months now.  A few months is forever in a little boy's mind.  Our Elf Buddy returned for the big day and decorated Nate's room and the fireplace!!  That was a lot of fun until Nate woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get out of his room because there were streamers covering the door. 

We took him to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate with our family.  He had a blast and loves all the attention!

We had his party on Saturday and it was a huge success.  He had a lot of fun and we had so many friends!  He was so excited to blow out the candle and yes he blew it out this year and didn't put it out with his fingers!!

None the less we survived and it was a great 3rd birthday!  Now if we can just make it thru the terrible 3's!!  I love you my buddy bear!!

I'm Already Behind - January 2014

Wow!  It's February and I am already behind on blogging for 2014.

January kinda snuck up on us.  Mommy started a new job and everyone went back to school after a 2 week vacation.  We had some very pretty days before we had to go back and of course love being outside!

Juliet and I went to the movies to see Frozen.  It was her first movie and in true Disney form, it made her cry and there wasn't much I could do except hold her and comfort.  I didn't think we were going to make it thru the entire movie, but we did and now she says she loves it. 
Nate has become such a 2.5 year old boy.  Bad attitude and screaming one minute and snuggles and kisses the next.  I can tell him something and he screams at me NO.  Then goes and does what I ask. He is really cute because I tell him something is broken and needs new batteries, he will go get me 1 C cell battery, no matter what type of toy it is. 

Juliet had her first dance competition and her team won 2nd place.  They did so good and we are so proud of her. 

We have had 2 "Snow Days" recently.  Pajamas all day, playing outside, mommy and daddy home trying to work and two kids who demanded constant attention made working... not so easy.   We did build "snowmen"

Juliet hosted her first movie night.  We had friends over and had popcorn and minions.  It was a fun night.
For the weirdness of January.  We went to Freebirds and the motorcycle hanging from the ceiling flipped him out so bad he had to leave the restaurant. 

They are growing up so fast!!

Congrats Chris and Kristin!

This past weekend we celebrated the marriage of Chris and Kristin.  We love you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

1st week of new school

Kids started their new school this week. To Nate absolutely nothing has changes except his teachers. He doesn't seem fazed at all. Juliet started kindergarten at Primrose and she is having a tough week. First week of no naps has made her CRANKY.  I am just happy we are closer to home now and can hopefully get into a routine fast!  Here are my cuties!

Today he is 2

Where has the year gone?  Today Nate is 2 years old!  He is such a talker, he loves to jump, climb and swing from bars or rings, he is very much a mommies boy, he can be cranky when we don't know what he is trying to tell us, loves Mickey Mouse and watching Octonauts and Jake and the Neverland pirates. He is not a big rule follower, likes everything exactly the way he wants it. We have him enrolled at Little Gym and he is loving that, never wants to participate in circle time but loves free play. He is starting to potty train at school and again, the teachers are getting all the credit!!  He is growing up on us so much!  Birthday party on Saturday!  (Then we move to a new house and he is getting a big boy bed!!!)

Love you my buddy bear!

Our Newest Journey

In a little less than 2 weeks, we will begin a new venture in our lives.  We are in the process of packing our home to move.  I am scared, I am stressed and I am excited.  How can I be all those things at once?  I am scared to leave the only home that my children have ever known.  Why am I worried about this?, they are super excited apparently.  I am stressed at getting one home packed, move our things to storage, move to a hotel, then close on houses and move into a new much larger one.  One with a much larger note.  I am excited about what the future holds for our family, the excellent schools and the fact that we are now closer to friends and most importantly, the church.  Keep us in your prayers as we get thru the next 2 weeks.
