Getting things together!

Hi Everyone!  I am preparing to start blogging every other day at least!  Trying to get all my ducks in a row! :) Lots  to do!  We just completed our first full week of school!  The kids are doing well and Mike is doing great!  Lots more to follow!

You can tell Emma was thrilled with the idea of school!

Pacifier Clips!!!

Here are some fun cute pacifier clips! I started making these when I lost Hestons expensive pacifier at church!!  They are easy to clean and I think just adorable!  Hope you love them!  Check out my album on my facebook page lots of other cute ones!

Mikes first day!!

Today is Mikes first full day of completely running his first grade class!!  He is loving it and loving the kids!  He is so excited as you can tell!  I am just so proud of him, I am proud of him for going after his dream of being a teacher even though we have a lot of kids and it has not been an easy road!  He is an amazing husband, father and friend. Everyday I am grateful to be his wife!  I love his lunch box too!!

Fun with Yogurt!

Lucy decided to have some yogurt for a snack. This is a great idea, healthy, yummy and she does a really good job of eating it! Well, this time she had a little trouble! Lucy ended up in the bath after this one. Lucy had yogurt all over her! In hrt hair,on her tummy and even her legs! What a mess! I love how she tried to eat the yogurt on her tummy, DELICIOUS!!! Lucy is so sweet, she tried to clean it up herself with a little tissue. I just love this age when they are trying to do everything all by themselves! I know she is mine, so I am bias...... but she is just adorable!

Storm Trooper comes to visit!

We Have some great cousins that live really close to us, they really love star wars, just like Mikey and Tucker! Shawn is working on his storm trooper costume for the 4th of July and decided to test it out! The boys were thrilled when a real storm trooper came to visit! They have a little boy Damien who loves Darth Vadar, he found Mikeys little mask and we had a battle on our hands! Little Darth Vadar against a big storm trooper , then a Jedi and Darth! The boys really enjoyed getting their pictures with him and even Emma and Morrigan got in on the fun! Lucy was not too sure, but Mike was happy to see him! It was a fun evening, we are really blessed to have Shawn and Crystal in our lives! Family is wonderful!

Fun with Mikes friends!

Mike, Lucy and I went to dinner with some of his school friends, Sara, Dane,Elisabeth and Ryan! They are great! It was a great night out! Lucy got all dressed up! She was a little nervous about meeting some new people, as you can see from her hiding behind Mikes leg! His friends were great and so fun to be around! We had a lovely dinner at Salutes in downtown Racine. Great food and fun company! Lucy won all their hearts and as you can see by the end of the night she had warmed up to Elisabeth! Lucy even let Elisabeth hold her hand, as long as Mike held the other, I love the look on Lucys face! I was really happy to meet them! We can not wait to do it again!

Lots of fun!

Here are some fun pictures of the tye dying and the hanging out as a family! Vinny came over and had a ball, he is our sweet cousin and 3 just like Heston. We also played outside for a bit! The kids had a lot of fun as you can see! Mike really looks excited! The only problem was it was kinda chilly out, for Mike and I , we were freezing because our hands were in the water! The shirts looked really great at first, then we washed them and turned all of them this light marroon color! Better luck next time! I love how Lucy is holding her shirt! One of my favorite pictures! We had a lot of fun though! Lucy took the oppurtunity to run freely through the water! She was trying to be like Emma and Alex and tie her little shorts! We can not wait to so it again!
