Katie's 2nd Grade Project

Katie had a habitat project due for school, so we went over to my Mom's house and she was nice enough to help Katie with it, while I kept Emma distracted, because she really wanted to grab and eat all the pieces. I took her into the playroom and she was playing with the little PlayMobil toys in there.

 The project came out really cute. Katie picked a snow leopard, and made the habitat for it. She also presented in it in class. She is so much more outgoing than I was, I was so shy, hated going in front of the class, it would make me nervous for the whole week knowing it was coming up. Katie just goes for it, and does so well. I'm proud of her.

Christmas Morning With Grandma

While David was at work, the girls and I got up early and went to my Mom's house to open the presents she bought the kids. Poor Katie, she always buys her clothes lol.

 Emma got a really cool wagon, she likes it!

 Santa left Katie a new bike at Grandma's house too. Super fun.

 Both lazies fit in the wagon, that's cool ;p Now when Katie gets too tired, she can take a ride lol.

My Mom bought me a vacuum this year, I guess that means I'm truly an adult now, right? haha. It was a good morning! =)

Katie's 7th Birthday

Katie chose Frozen as her birthday theme this year. My Mom bought a bunch of decorations after Christmas, when they were all on clearance. She decorated so pretty! Everything came out great.

My Mom made Katie's cake, she loved it!! The characters she ordered didn't come in time, so the Disney Infinity characters came to the rescue! ;p

I hired a balloonist and a Bubble Expert to come to the party. It was pretty neat, they put each kid inside a bubble, did a little show, and let the kids play with bubbles outside afterwards.

I ordered these cut outs from Etsy, for a little photo booth section. It was fun playing with them.

This was Katie's favorite gift. Thank you Lauryn, she loved it!

The swing was the hit of the party, until the older boys got on it and it broke off the tree. Haha. Thankfully it's getting fixed!

Katie had so much fun, and I'm glad =) She's such a great girl. Thank you Mom for all your help! Everything came out great!

Emma's 1st St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patrick's Day we didn't do too much. Katie had school, and after we just went to my Mom's for a little bit. Desiree bought Emma a cute shirt, and I picked out Katie's because she has a dress down week at school, each day with it's own theme. Today's was St. Patrick's Day themed. They played on the swing for a bit before we went home. Emma likes it a lot, and Katie likes when Emma gets off. lol.

Who Needs The Park?

To celebrate the last day of Christmas Vacation, we wanted to get together and do something, but didn't want to spend too much money. We decided on going to my Mom's for a BBQ and to let the kids play together.

 I bought chocolate dip and brought my mini crock pot to my Mom's. We stuck everything in that thing haha. It was so yummy!

 After we ate the kids played in the front yard on Katie's bike, scooter, and skates. She's learning how to skate and does better each time she practices. She's growing up so quickly!

Swingin' Away

The kids love the new swing my Mom has! So much fun. Gets me a little motion sick, but I can handle it for a few minutes, haha.

Christmas Morning 2013

Katie and Emma woke us up bright and early to open their presents. Or, around 7:30 :p

 Katie is the Queen of Knock Knocks.

 The present Katie made us at school.

 The wonderful, great, loved, Talking Angela! Santa really brought her!!!

 David's lower receiver.

 Emma's Seahorse.

 After we spent the morning at home opening presents, the girls and I headed over to Gee Gee's to visit and then over to my Mom's to open the presents she bought Katie. David decided to come too.

 My Mom bought Katie (and Emma) this swing. She sure loves it! It's really cool!

 Took a break for breakfast at iHop.

 Then we headed back over to my Mom's to play and kill time until we had to go to the Wonser's.
