D I V A

Macie in curlers, need I say more? Its a new trend shes learned and she thinks shes like the character Charlotte from her move Princess and the Frog. She loves it, and her hair is just too cute in curls to tell her no!

Pictures of my sleeping kids are always so priceless to me. Macie is all cuddled up in her Princess and the Frog jammies, and Isaac is bummed out shirtless! I guess that was a good hint to himself that its too warm to wear fleece jammies to bed....even if they do have a big monster truck on the shirt.

Hand Prints

Macie and Isaac weren't too sure about sticking their hands in the cement pad of our future shed, but they imprints turned out pretty good. Now whenever we open the shed door, our hand prints will be there! The storage shed is turning out to be more than a storage shed. Instead a super sized shed/playhouse with a loft will be built. Roger wasn't in on the idea at first, but now hes imagining himself bunking out in the loft. We will see if the shed makes it into this years time frame. If not, we have a toddler sized basketball court for the kids.

More Cake

OK, I have to admit, I am really getting into this cake decorating thing. Its really fun. Macies Princess and the Frog cake was a bit more challenging than Isaacs jeep cake, but it was worth it. Macie kept coming out of her room during her quiet time and she would say "OOOH Mom, its looking good!" So her reactions were worth the challenge. She loved it!

THE BIG 4!

Macie turned 4 on May 8th! She had a great day. It started off with a parade for band day and ended with 2 parties. This was her first year she had a friends party. I was a bit nervous about it, but it went great. The theme was Princess and the Frog. She enjoyed her party so much, and no meltdowns! I think 4 is going to be a good year! She was such a big girl and at one point she said to me "Mommy, I am so happy its my birthday, I love being 4!" After her friends left we had family over for pizza and more cake! I was so proud of her. I can already tell 4 is moving on up and out of the "terrible 2's and 3's." Since shes turned 4 shes been trying new foods, sharing much more with her brother, and talking our ears off. This must be the age of non stop talking! But I'll take that over meltdowns. We love you Miss Macie!

My new obsession

I don't know if I have mentioned my new favorite site www.thepioneerwoman.com, my new obsession... but if I haven't its a must see site. My wonderful friend introduced me to the site, and I have been hooked ever since. I literally started drooling just looking through the recipes. I haven't made a bad recipe yet. Spaghetti and meatballs is to die for, and the Shrimp Pasta in a tinfoil is like going to the Olive Garden. Check out the site, buy her cookbook, you will thank yourself. YUM!

The Jeep Party

Isaac had a great time at his birthday party. I love this age so much because they get it now. They know its their birthday, and they know its special. Isaac loved his "cool trike" he got from Papa and Grandma, and all the cool trucks he got from his aunts and cousins. I swear since he's turned 2, he learned how to have conversations with us too. He finishes his sentences now and asks lots of questions. I love it.

and hes already wore out the battery of his Jeep. "Mommy! HELP! Jeep broke!"
