jayden

my little princess and i were going to play dress up the other day after we did some school work and i took a skirt off of a puffy hanger and she promptly grabs the hanger and says... "whats this?... a sword?"  then she says, "look a ninja skirt!"  and her gloves were superhero gloves.  she really is a little tom-boy  ;)

baseball

jacob is really into baseball lately... he always wants to hit a "home depot" (home run) :)

wisdom

so, the other night we were doing devotions with the kids and jacob heard the word "wisdom".  he knew this was in one of his cubbies verses so he promptly said, "hey!  that's in my verse... 'and Jesus grew and whizzed on him! " needless to say, i had to excuse myself from the room 'cause i was laughing too hard. ;)

farmer jacob

while pastor scott is out of town, we are playin' farmers. jacob loves  to feed the pony and collect the eggs. wish we could have our  own chickens. ;) he sure is taking the responsibility quite well.

4month check-up

she's growin'!!  here's the 4 month stats from the dr. : 14# 2 oz. / 27 in. / 75% for weight / off the charts for height.  what a big girl!  for the second time, the nurse came back in and remeasured her, because she thought it was impossible for her to be that long. ;)  she smiled the entire time we were in the dr.s office and just kept smilin' at the dr.  she loves her!

4 months

tomorrow, our sweet little baby girl will be 4 months old.  my how time flies!  what a blessing she has been!  she has truly been a gracious gift of God.  she teaches me daily of sweet innocence.  she lays there doing nothing, but smiling and wanting to be loved.  she loves when people talk to her and she just smiles and coos.  she is the smiliest baby i've ever seen!  she sure has changed our lives, and for her we are truly grateful!

tomorrow a little late

oops... so tomorrow came a little late. ;)  here's some pics of our week...

day 7

wow!!  what a fun, busy day!!!  we woke up and got ready for a day on the town. ;)  we went and picked jos up from work and headed to burger king for lunch.  then he went back to work, but the rest of us went into town to go check out an upcycle shop.  i loved it!! thanks ginger for bringing us there. :)  then we walked to this little toy store that was adorable!!  they had an area for little girls to dress up like princesses and have tea parties and some really cute princess things.  then we went and had frozen custard again... YUM!!!!    and then mom and dad went back to michigan.  the rest of us went back to jos and ginger's and had nap time.  then after that... jos and jason worked on the bug and auntie ginger and jayden played.  we then woke jacob up and we went out for pizza.  then we went to the park to play.  we all had a great time!!  i can't wait to post some pics tomorrow!!  ;)  then we came home and had more fun!!  impossible, i know, but we did!  we had a bon-fire and made smores and played and hula hooped and play, play, played.  what a fun night!  we're heading home tomorrw, but we are only going 'till about davenport, iowa and then we will stop for the night.  then sat. we will stay with uncle russ and auntie vickie again... nebraska... here we come!

day 6

so, it was a b-e-a-utiful day today!  we woke up and hung around the house for a while then we ate left overs at home and then ventured out.  we took the kids to uncle jos' work (big lots) and they met his boss and she fell in love with them and bought them each a toy golf set.  then we went to goodwill and i looked for some clothing and "stuff".  it was actually quite different from our goodwill... ours is stinky, dirty and messy and this one was neat, clean, very organized and if you didn't know better you'd think you were in a regular retail store.  then we went to maurices, where i bought a shirt for our date ;)  and then i went to walgreens for water and to check on some deals.  then we went home and got ready for our date.  jos and ginger volunteered to watch jacee while opa and oma were taking jacob and jayden to go see their first movie... kung fu panda 2.  they loved it!  we went to ruby tuesdays for dinner and then to a few different stores.  we went to crazy 8s and buy, buy baby.  then we went to this little small town frozen custard place and it was AWESOME!!  i had the buckeye somethin' and it was TO DIE FOR!!  needless to say... we're going back tomorrow for more custard!
