Weekly Review #4- Farm Week

This week's theme was farm week. We read books about the farm, colored farm animals, talked about what farm animals eat, and did some crafts. The boys had two play days with Cameron, Carson's new friend from school who happens to live around the corner from us. They were distracted also by their obsession with Transformers. So, mostly Emma and I did the crafts projects.

8 Years

On this day, 8 years ago, Joshua joined the Air Force. Since then, we have been stationed in Arkansas and California. He has gone to Iraq 2 times. He is now a Staff Sargent and Supervisor!!

New PJ's

The kids love getting new pj's. Carson has been wanting new footie pj's for over a year. It's hard to find 5T footie pj's, but finally, this weekend we found some at Target. Once the boys had on their firetruck pj's, Emma wanted to wear firetruck pj's too. So, of course, you know me, Parker needed his firetruck pj's on also.

Weekend Review

This weekend we didn't do anything too exciting. Saturday morning we went to some garage sales. This kids spent the afternoon playing Transformers and coloring. Sunday we actually had a rain shower, it was brief, but it was real moisture!! Sunday we went for a walk after dinner and enjoyed looking at the clouds. Emma discovered my makeup and decided she needed some mascara, on her eyebrows! Finally, Parker, at 13 months, has figured out how to crawl. Although, he still prefers the butt scoot.

To Chelsea-

Just a Note

The pictures I post are a smaller file size (because I post so many) so they aren't the greatest quality or all that big. If you want to print any of the pictures out, email me and I can send you the regular file. The picture will be a MUCH higher quality!!

Giants Game

Yesterday Josh took the boys to a Giants game. Unfortunatly, Cooper was not in the mood to watch the game when they got there and they had to leave the game early.
