month twelve

My baby girl is now One and I can't believe it and how much I love her and love watching her grow and get older. She is such a little cutie! I love that we are all in love with her at our house she brings us all a lot of laughs and smiles. She is a good little girl. She is getting all over the place walking better and into everything! I love that the boys get so excited when she walks across the room and cheer her on. She is always nodding and shaking in response to our questions and its adorable! Her favorite things are suckers and popcorn, either makes her so happy! She is a goer all day and fortunately sleeps well at night. So now One Year Old, many fun years ahead!

We had such a fun Birthday Party for her and thank you to all our friends and family for celebrating with us! Daddy made her an adorable playlist and she of course loved her cake and was so excited to finally dig into it! She was cute as she stared at the kids circling around her while they opened her gifts for her. Happy First Birthday my sweet little girl!

" Whoa mom, look! Im getting buff! look at that I am totally getting buff"

Good morning Grumpy! You would think St. Patty day would be Noah's favorite, but he was too upset thinking I took a picture without him in it.

I am so proud of my little Zane and his reading! He is just now bringing home books from school and is doing awesome! Way to go dude!

Ryan and I took the kids to Kangaroo Zoo and we had so so much fun! Bella was cracking us up how happy she was to be there! She was clapping, bouncing up and down and would giggle so hard when we took her down the slides, it was so stinking cute!

If you give a Mouse a Cookie children's play was so cute and clever. The kids were totally into the whole time and laughing out loud!

Claire Bear and Bella Boo

Claire and Bella got to play all day when she came to our house. Bella was totally fascinated by her and kept trying to give her a things and trying to put them in her mouth. We loved having her over to play! Yes Claire is 5 months younger than Bella and Yes she weighs more than her too!

My fun Birthday!

I had such a fun Birthday! It started off with Breakfast in bed! (for me and Bella)

Then my cute little boys were insisting on leaving a egg path (with clues) to my presents! So before we went to bed Ryan mention that he thought the boys had easter and my birthday a little confused but was wondering were he could find the easter eggs. Last night in our prayer... zane "please bless we can make mom's birthday really special for her..." Oh he is so cute!

I got to go to lunch with my Hubby then to see Alice in Wonderland with my mom and sisters and my sweet friends took me out for dessert later at that night. I feel very loved by so many and happy to be surrounded by the people I love!

Craft night

We Modge Podge'd some scuffed up old shoes and gave them a whole new look! Rachel took her wallet and did the same thing! Love it!

March SnOwMeN

We spent the day with Kameo and kids enjoy the load of snow we received! You have to enjoy it quickly because the snow in March doesn't stick around for long...poor snowmen were gone by the next morning.

craft night

Im pretty excited about our Brady girl craft night tonight! This was one of our projects for February!

boy vs. girls

it is currently on ongoing competition at our home, Boys vs. Girls, all the time! We eat dinner, we get ready for bed, we clean up, and just at play time too its all done on teams! Little kids are so cute and I love that they find happiness in the little things in the day, and make my day better.

kindergarten update

I just got back from Parent Teacher Conference for Zaners and he is doing well! We had been slacking on the homework during our move and I could tell he was not as interested when he comes home and his work sheet has a circle around his problems and a lock on it (drawn on) and a full army battle drawn on the back. "What, really into it uh Zane" So I asked him and he was saving them for home... he had much more important things to get done.

His teacher said that

"Zane is cool, and if I make the worksheet or problem cool and/or awesome he is totally excited and he knows it and does it quick!"

"I love his hats, and the other boys in the class have started to where hats and will come in and be like hey Zane check it out, wearing a hat today"

"He is so fun with all the kids, they want to play with him because they could be sitting there just playing with blocks and and Zane will be like how about we build rockets ships and we blast them off into......." "he is much more exciting to play with"

the best comment of all

"Zane is the most creative kid! He can turn the number 8 into a well thought out story of having a head and it can open and he has these powers that... on and on.... from the number 8, What he is so awesome with his creativity."

Over all his report card was filled with good marks and I am so proud of him! He actually really believes he is the smartest kid in the world.

school program

Zane was excited to participate in his school Presidents Day Program. He has learned the Constitution and some sign language with it, he was excited for that and one other song. Other than that...." Zane are you so excited for your program today? Im excited to come watch you!"

"mom I already told you music is not my favorite class" For most of the program, he stood there with his hands in his pockets, {he is so cool} I did capture him pretty excited looking a little goofy. Ryan and I got a kick out of being there.

playtime

Oh Noah, my sweet little boy I love that you still need your naps even if its right in the middle of play time, doesn't bother you.

I thought it was so cute to watch these cute little boys playing army guys together

month eleven

ggrrrrrr... I didn't put a bow on you everyday since the day you were born to have you start ripping them off every chance you get. It is your favorite thing to do right now, pull it off and shove it in your mouth, silly girl.

month eleven, month eleven, what!?! soon going to be a year old and it makes me sad a little. Good thing you are still so tiny that I feel like I still have a baby. You are so so busy, moving and wiggling, going up and down the stairs, ripping apart anything you can reach. Your favorite is the laundry, oh how you love to help with that! You love to be where your brothers are, and finding your favorite little toy right now, the nerf darts, great chew toys?!? Always have one in your mouth and one in each hand everywhere you go.
