2 Months!!!

Rook is 2 months old. He is getting so big and has just started smiling. Here are a few pictures from the last few days. He is a really good baby. My only complaint is that he is still not sleeping that well at night. He still wakes up at least twice most nights. I am giving him until 3 months old and then I am starting tough love on him.

Ballet Class

Addy finished up her second ballet class and they had a little performance on her last day. She loves ballet but she doesn't like performing in front of people. At her last class she wouldn't dance on her last day when Jamie came to watch her so he asked her this time if she wanted him to come and watch and she said, "No, just go to work."  So he did. She did her gymnastics, ballet and tumbling and did a great job. She loves it and tries really hard to do what her teacher asks her to do.

My cute little "ballereya." We love you Addy!

TJ's 5!!!

TJ turned 5 on the 10th of May. We had a fun filled day. Here he is waking up.

He started the day by opening his presents. Notice the Star Wars theme.

Then he got to choose what we had for breakfast. He chose chocolate chip pancakes. Here is my attempt at a Yoda pancake.

After that we met Jamie for lunch and went to the park by his work. Then we came home and I made TJ his cake. I kept it pretty simple this year. I had ordered some cake toppers so that made it nice and easy. TJ loves angry birds right now. Here he is with his angry birds face.

 After that we went to Peter Piper Pizza for dinner and then came home and ate cake.

Evie liked the cake.

TJ is an amazing kid. He is a wonderful brother, especially to Evie. He helps her so much and they are good friends. Him and his dad have a special relationship. They call each other "Buddy" and they are buddies. TJ is a very smart kid, he is already a great reader. He is also a very athletic kid. Happy birthday Buddy! We love you.

Broken Car

When Jamie was a little boy he asked his parents for a "broken" car for his birthday so he could fix it. So when my parents saw this car it reminded them of that story and they got it for TJ for his birthday. You can take it completely apart and put it back together. TJ thought it was pretty cool.

Author Day

Friday Emmy's class had their author day. It was their big end of the year event. The kids got to walk the red carpet and be introduced and then parents had a chance to read their short stories. I can't believe Emmy is almost done with kindergarten. It has gone by so quickly, but she has done amazing!!! I have been really impressed with what she has learned this year. Her writing has completely surpassed my expectations.

Evie and TJ hanging out during the party.

 Emmy's two best friends - Ava and Bella.

This year has flown. Emmy will change schools next year. Ashland Ranch isn't the school she is supposed to attend, but it is the only one with half-day kindergarten so we put her in it this year, but next year she will move to Settler's Point and TJ will be at Ashland. Emmy is a great student. She loves school and I know she will miss it when it's over.

T-Ball

Thursday night Emmy and TJ had their last game. Emmy had an ear infection and had slept all day but she wanted to go and play because they were having root beer floats after the game. Emmy doesn't love t-ball near as much as TJ but it has been fun for them to get to be on the same team and they have both done great.

Fathers and Sons

May 3rd and 4th was our ward's father and sons outing. TJ has been looking forward to it for months. I think it is his favorite event of the year. He loves getting to just go and hang out with his dad.

They did a little geocaching and found the note me and Jamie had left him when we went on our anniversary trip.

One of the other kids had this bow and arrow that they let him shoot and he loved it.

He also get to visit Nana and Poppy at their cabin while they were gone and she gave him these Old Maid cards.

They also played a little baseball.

And TJ talked Jamie into eating at Jack in the Box on the way home because "Emmy and Addy don't like it."

My two handsome boys. I am so glad they are "buddies" - that is what TJ always calls Jamie.
