easter pics....

here they are... the easter pics. i was sooooo excited to get their pictures taken with the live bunnies, chicks, and ducklings, and then jayden noticed they were real when the ducklings were quacking and she DID NOT LIKE THAT, AT ALL! she screamed her little head off and then the ducklings quacked even more! oy! that was the end of our photo session! so these are the best we got that day...

saturday we got daddy to take us to burger king (45 miles away) for lunch and play time in the playland. then on sunday the kids had their easter pics taken, but beforehand, mommy took a couple pics of the kids loving on eachother... we sure love those little cuties! hope everyone is having a great day!

jason's head!

well, the barber has been very busy and hasn't been able to get jason in, so we thought we'd give it a shot... it looked HORRIBLE! i started to cut it, but got a little scared as i have never cut anyone's hair before, so then i passed the buck on to brandon, the guy that works for us... or should i say WORKED for us... i think he's fired now, 'cause this is jason's head...

cookies

jacob had to bring treats to awana tonight so we made cookies as a family last night. we had a BLAST... and sister enjoyed the frosting too! :) jacob was a big boy and frosted them himself and jayden helped by licking the frosting off her fingers after brother frosted her fingers. overall, i think they'll be a big hit! we have blue sprinles, red sprinkles, yellow frosting, green sprinkles, and multi-colored sprinkles. we also made brownies for us to eat at home... they were YUMMY!

home schooling

well, a couple posts ago i showed a picture of jacob's first day of preschool, well, it didn't work out. so, i am home schooling him solely now. it was a little of both before and now we just took him out of the preschool he was attending. he came home with a lot of really naughty habits and i was spending twice as much time disciplining him and even one of the teachers said he was almost too smart for them, because he was getting bored and would just stare at them as they taught the other kids and he already knew it. he also started crying the other morning because he said his teachers were mean and sent his friends to time out because they wer always naughty and yelled at them, of which he said he was scared. he really didn't understand that their actions needed consequences. so, i have lost my more quiet mornings and traded them in for teaching, which i'm enjoying. DON'T GET ME WRONG... i LOVED that quiet time in the mornings and got a lot done, but i love being the one teaching my son and that i get to see all of his growth while it's happening... that is until next school year. we already had the process going for a local Christian preschool that uses home school curriculum and has a WONDERFUL Godly woman for a teacher and a close friend of mine, so i'm REALLY, SUPER excited about that, and for now i'll enjoy that time! my curriculum came in last week from a friend of mine and i've started even more than before and i'm excited to see what the rest of this school year brings.
