Open House

Last night we got to attend Justus preschool open house. We got to see all that they have been doing. Since Im the one who primarily picks J up and drops him off, not much was new to me. But Im glad Neil got to go see.

It was also fun to see all of Js artwork



To see him learning the way they do in school

They also planted grass and a sunflower.
And are learning about bugs

Sleeping Beauty

Haven is so sweet when she is asleep. Here are some pics we took the other day while she was in quiet time. Apparently, the Beauty needed her sleep!

Happy Birthday Papa

On Saturday we celebrated Papas birthday. We took Gigi and him to Marie Calendars.

While I was wrapping Papas present, Justus really wanted to wrap something up for him too. So he went and got his little basketball and wrapped it up. Gotta love that sweet heart!

Happy Birthday Papa!

More Rainbow Fun

After making the rainbow cupcakes for St. Patricks day, I really wanted to make them again. So the kids and I did!

And of course enjoyed them! Yum!!

Also, here is how our tie dye shirts turned out. Very colorful!

St. Patricks day 2011

Haven woke up this morning with St. Paddys on her mind!

We love GREEN!

I love when we get to get together with friends and celebrate. Today was a day just for that!

Mrs. Ashley hosted us this year as we celebrated St. Patricks. We had many friends and it was so fun to see everyone in their green.

We made rainbow cupcakes to eat after lunch.

We Tie dyed Tshirts

Ate our green lunch. Ashley did a great job - the kids had rolled sandwiches using spinach wraps, cucumbers, grapes and veggie straws. The adults had split pea soup. And since Ashley is such an amazing cook, her split pea soup had everyone wanting more!

Rainbow cupcakes for dessert

And fun times playing with our friends!

What the Boys were up to

Besides celebrating Justus birthday, the boys were busy playing.

Justus got lots of new Legos, some of which were Ninjago Legos. Neil said he really enjoyed playing with them.

Neil also decided Justus was ready for a skateboard so he ordered him one. They had lots of fun playing with it

And with the box too, apparently :)

During the Super bowl party Mr. Jeff taught Justus how to use a juicer

Super fun times!

Justus Birthday Celebration

While I was gone, Neil and Justus got to celebrate Js 5 year old birthday.

We were blessed to have some friends offer to have a mini party for J. So Neil and Justus headed to Mrs Ashleys house and friends Reece, Merrick, Keegan and Josiah helped Justus celebrate.

Ashley cooked them dinner and Neil brought the cake.

Presents were opened.

There was a little bit of Pinata action (thanks to Gigi) and a whole lot of boy fun!

Then on Js actual birthday Gigi, Papa and Neil took Justus to Johns Incredible Pizza for some incredible birthday fun!

And as Neil said, Justus is officially a "hand-full!"
