1st and 3rd

Tuesday morning:

Back to School Traditional Pictures

I'm not sure which is harder to believe . . .

that this guy is in FIRST grade

or

that this one is in THIRD!?!!

Happy Birthday Jacob

Birthdays around here go on and on and on!
So many celebrations

for such an amazing guy!

We started the day with yummy cinnamon rolls
in the shape of a "9".
We blow out candles then!

He opens some presents.

a favorite gift from a favorite friend

another favorite from his brother
they have played this every night
in the culdesac w/ the neighbor boys.
we'll need to buy more darts!

then it was lunch of his choice
Cheeburger Cheeburger!

If that wasn't enough celebrating
Jacob had a pool party that afternoon.

He can't wait to dive into his cake made by
famous baker JENN!

Special Stuff

Do you save your children's things?

How much do you save?!

Let's just say that I save it ALL. 

Well until the end of each year

and then I go through it all and

PURGE!

Recently I purged again

through all the years

of both boys.

I reorganized into crates

instead of big ole baggies

stacked one on top of the next.

I totally copied the idea!

But I took a few pics as I went along!

NEITHER of the boys have ever liked a tomato!

Even when he was 3!

They had the same teacher when they were in the 3 year old class.

So glad I kept these things!

I'm thinking this one would be good to frame

in case either of them should ever need reminding!

In case you are trying to read this it says,

"I can count to _____"

Isn't it ironic that they both counted to "29"!

Procrastining School Prep

by playing with our camera
i would love to take a photography class . . .
(in my *spare* time)

i found rainbows all over the house!

Glimpses of a Lived In Home

I took these pictures sometime last week
b/c everywhere I looked . . .

CLUTTER! 

So instead of cleaning . . .
I CAPTURED it!

Ready

to

see

a

MESS?!

Loads & Loads of CLEAN laundry.
