Occupation Day at School

Drew and Kaylea had Occupation Day at school on Monday. Everyone kept asking Drew if he would go as a preacher since he loves his suit. But I knew that wasn't going to happen! For some reason he gets embarrassed when people call attention to him in his suit. He is so funny. He DEMANDS to wear it at church but will not wear it anywhere else (except in the playroom at our house.) haha...so, with that said, he went as a doctor. He initially wanted to go as a basketball player but we didn't have the outfit so his second choice was to be a doctor. And Kaylea, well no one will be surprised at what she wanted to be. She went as a princess...Princess Belle to be exact. :)

Also, last Saturday Michele and I took Kaylea and Hannah to get their ears pierced. It has been a long process. I found out that a doctor about 45 minutes away from us will put numbing cream on the kids ears before he pierces them so the child doesn't feel it. I told Kaylea about it but later found out that you had to be a patient of his in order for them to do it. Soooo...i've been trying to figure out how to get the cream. Finally I just asked our pediatrician if she would call some in for me. It was just that simple! So, we went on Saturday. Kaylea had already told Hannah that she wanted to go first to show her that it didn't hurt. However, when we got there her anxiety kicked in and she got a little scared. But she didn't feel a thing! The cream definitely worked and she is now sporting beautiful little diamond earings. Here are a few pictures from the day...

Just a little scared... :(

But now so proud! Best buddies!

A Fresh Start to Blogging!

I have been thinking for some time now that I really need to keep up our blog. To my surprise, I pulled our old one up and saw that the last entry was in 2005. How sad! So much time has gone by. When I read the last entry it seems like that instance was a lifetime ago, however, in other ways it seems like yesterday. This is a new beginning. :)

Because our blog was ancient and hadn't been updated in so long, I had to do all of the upgrades to even get access to it. Thanks Casey for being patient with me. I can tell you right now that the background, banner, etc. will not be changed that often!

Drew and Kaylea are now in Kindergarten and are beginning to learn site words. They are now up to knowing around 80 words. Out of those 80, I can only use one particular word about once a week because it is just too much! LOL Watch the video and you will see what I mean.

And then there's Will. Will is now 2 and thinks he's 5 like the twins. Unfortunately for him, he was never really a baby. Always along for what we had in store for the twins. But now he's his own little self. Smart, loving, independant, athletic, and adorable! What more could we ever ask for? Will loves to play sports. Anything that has a ball involved he is game on! Baseball, football, golf, basketball and even bowling and shooting pool! Of course, whatever Drew is doing is pretty much what he wants to do too.




I thought I'd add a few first day of school pictures as well. :)
