Jessalyn's 6th Birthday!!

Okay, I know it has been way too long since I have posted, and I will have to go back and catch up on Halloween and Christmas, but I had to post today about my princess and her 6th birthday.
We had her party yesterday, January 30th at The Little Gym in the Arlington Highlands. The kids had a blast playing and doing games. Here are some pictures....





We have her family party tonight...so I'm sure I'll post some more later too :)

Fun Times at Home

Jessalyn and I love spaghetti, and it looks like this little guy does too!

Always the princess!
He still will not stay on his horse from Nana and Papa more than 30 seconds, but I keep trying. Someday when he knows he can make it bounce, he will love it!

Connor usually doesn't like us to put him in his "play pen" (which is a rarity in itself), but when Jessalyn gets in there with him, he loves it! I was trying to get a few things done and walked by and saw this....priceless!

First Birthday Bash

We had Connor's first birthday party at Town Park. Eric cooked out hot dogs, we had some snacks and fruit, and of course birthday cake. We had so many of our friends and family there, and it was a great celebration!

I'm not so sure about this cake thing!

The birthday boy with Griffin- these boys LOVE eachother!

He really got into opening his presents!

Thank you to everyone who made Connor's first birthday so special!

The Birthday Boys

Eric's and Connor's birthdays are a day apart, so we had a weekend of fun celebrating!

I had to take a picture of Connor having breakfast on his 1st birthday. I have the same picture of Jess (in the same high chair).

Here is our big one year old on one of his gifts from Mommy and Daddy.

Connor, you are such a sweet boy, and I can't believe you are one! It has been a wonderful year and has flown by. You have such a gentle spirit, but you are definitely an inquisitive little boy. You love to explore, and you don't sit still! You are cruising all around the furniture, and you stand on your own for about 5 seconds. You say mama and dada, will imitate other sounds, and will occasionally wave hi and bye. I can't wait to see what year number two holds!

First Day of Kindergarten

Oh my goodness, my baby started kindergarten!!

Here she is before leaving the house...

On our way to the classroom...

And finally with her wonderful teacher, Mrs.Stapleton!

Hanging with the girls

Melissa kept Jessalyn for me on a teacher workday, so I returned the favor and kept Kamille and Sophie while her and Blaine went out for her birthday. Her girls are precious, and Jessalyn has so much fun with them!

Girls will be girls!

We've had our baths, and we are chilling in the bed watching a movie.

First Lost Tooth

My big girl lost her first tooth this last Saturday, August 15th. She and Nana had realized how loose it was the night before. She was kind of nervous about the whole thing at first, but settled down with the idea. We were eating lunch, and she told me to look at it. I wiggled it a little bit, and it came out! She was so excited! We called Daddy, Nana, and Gran.

The tooth fairy brought a Hello Kitty spin brush, toothpaste, necklace, bracelet, and a dollar.
