Christmas Cards!

Wow, I am back to blogging!  Having our third angel has thrown Mommy for a loop with organization and scheduling, but I think I am back! :)

It is that WONDERFUL time of year again where we get to pick out Christmas cards!  Now, most of you are not like me and spend waaaaaay too much time deciding "this one, or that one."  And of course I get "I like them all" from the hubby!  AHH!  So, I need YOU to help me choose!

Tiny Prints is by far my most favorite stationary go-to place!  I get all of the kids' birthday invitations and birth announcements from them!   The quality is beyond belief!  You definitely get the best!  Here are a few of my favorites...

This is "Blessing's Be Yours" and since we just had baby Addyson (3 months ago...but still "just"!) I thought this would be precious.

This is "Family of Trees," and I like that I can put individual pictures of our 3 angels on here, PLUS LOOK AT THE POLKA DOTS!!!!

This is "Merry Modest" and I like it because of the font.  You know me and a good font!

This is "Peppermint Streamers" and I love it also because of the font and it looks classy! :)

POLKA DOTS, need I say more? :)

This is "Stamped Damask" and it too is so classy and traditional, I love it!  

This is "Wonderful Things" and I think what drew me in was the picture of the two precious babies on the front!  Haha!

This is "Wreathed Charm" and it looks most like our past cards.  I am a sucker for monograms in any form and our cards usually have a "K" on them!

So, as you can see I have my work cut out for me.  Choices, choices!  Most of your Christmas card places have the shiny gloss cards that looks like you printed off on photo paper, but Tiny Prints cards are so heavy, crisp, and GORGEOUS! :)  

Have a wonderful week!

Love Always,

Bella Grace's First Day of Preschool!!!!

Today was Bella Grace's first day of preschool.  She went last year for the 3 year old class and now we have moved up!  We were so lucky and got to keep our same teacher, Mrs. Christine!  And we've spent the entire summer asking "can I go to big girl school tomorrow?"  Sadly, I could not go because of bed rest, but Daddy got some cute pictures! :)

In the parking lot! :)

Waiting to go into her classroom.

Daddy tried to get a cubby picture, but BG was too excited about everything else going on! :)

Bella Grace and Mrs. Christine!

Signing in (she looks just like me from behind)!

When she got home I took this picture, I love the hair--you can tell she had fun!

Silly pose at the front door!

Love it! :)

Have a great day!

Love,

Chuck-E-Cheese...

It seems so long ago that I could actually go out and DO SOMETHING and not be on bedrest! :)   When we had Addyson's 4D ultrasound, Grand took us to Chuck-E-Cheese as a treat for Bella Grace.  She's been a bit obsessed with going and her dream finally came true!

Putting in the coins all by herself!

Grayson had to be held most of the time, when he was put down it was like you let a monkey out of his cage!!  Haha!

He wasn't too interested in playing but we got him to do one game!

Look at his hair!  We were all hot and sweaty!

She was so happy!

In the "whoah" as Grayson says!

She had a ball! :)

Thanks Grand!

Love,

My Classroom...

Since I am unable to be in my classroom right now, I can live through pictures! :)  It is so hard to be out at the beginning of the year because you had a baby (I did that with baby #2), but to be told you can't go at all, is really hard!  I wish I could meet my sweet babies next week but I know I have to take care of myself and Addyson and stay laying/sitting! :)  Here are a just a few pictures of my room...

Calendar time!  This picture is from last year, above the red chair I've added the behavior clip chart.

The writing center

I didn't take pictures of the other 100 centers (home living, science, puzzles, play-dough, blocks, check out library, make-a-word, read-the-room, big books, etc.).  Also the room looks SOOO much better when our theme work is up!  This year our pod theme is "The Great Outdoors."  I can't wait to decorate our room with clouds, sun, animals, etc.! :)

I hope everyone is having a great time getting ready for back to school! :)

Addyson's 4D ultrasound...

About a week ago we took a little day trip to do Addyson's 4D ultrasound.  We were a little worried it was too late (I was 34 weeks) and we wouldn't be able to get a good picture of her, but we did! :)  Here are some...

She was weighing in at 5 lbs. at 34 weeks, however this week I had an ultrasound and she is 6 lbs. 11 oz.!  Oh my! :)  She is doing great, but mommy is now on bed rest.  Hopefully we will make it another couple of weeks so that she's not too early! ;)

Love,

Happy 2nd Birthday Grayson!

Recently we had Grayson's 2nd birthday!  We did a small party the weekend before and then a family dinner on his actual birthday! :)

The theme was "trucks/dump trucks" which he calls "whoas."  (sp?)

His cake was a dirt cake! :)

Sissy helping blow out the candle!

You can't see it very well, but this is his banner with his name.  I love the way it turned out!

Big sister was more interested in the presents!  Ha!

WOW!  A REAL TRUCK!

I still love the faces he makes! :)

Looking cool!

Since we also have a thing for Toy Story, our dinner party cake was Woody and Buzz!

Y-U-M

We had a great birthday! :)

Love,
