Bowling With the Boss Year 4

Katie and Collin played on an all kids lane against 3 other professor's kids and Katie won with a 108!
Dinner: pizza, cookies, Sprite - Collin and Katie say it's their favorite meal ever!

Collin got his first spare and didn't seem to care that Katie beat him for the 2nd year in a row.

Love.

Our other bowling ball - Jackson - was only interested in eating leftover pizza crust.

And I know you are wondering who won on the faculty/staff lane, right? Me. With a 158. Against husband and another male professor. I've already taken a Tylenol PM.

Jackson's 2nd Momma

Katie feeding Jackson applesauce.
Katie has even come up with his nickname: Chubba Chubba Choo Choo.

I am so thankful that Katie loves on Jackson so much. I am also thankful that he has slept through the night the past 3 nights! This is one happy and rested Momma.

Collin's First Day

Collin - all ready for the first day of second grade!
Dad and the kiddos walking up to school.

Wishing our "little one" a great first day.

Collin was quick to let go of my hand and head off to see his friends.

The line-up to Mrs. C's room. When I picked him up from school he said, "This was the best day ever!"

Jillian's Wedding

Jackson terrorizing Ms. Jillian's brother.

Me: Look at Mom and smile. Hmmm...let's try that again. Why don't you guys stand up?
Me: Alright. Yes, you are standing. Next picture let's not stand in between the hand rails and put your arms down.


Me: Good, good. Arms are down. Step over to the side away from the hand rails and smile. Well, let's scrap the picture of you two together. And let's not even try one of all 3 of you!

Collin, the ring bearer-bearer. The actual ring bearer, Scout the dog, was not allowed indoors when the wedding was moved inside due to rain.

Katie, the flower girl. She wanted an orange flower in her hair to match Ms. Jillian.

What a fun and beautiful wedding Jon and Jillian had. Thank you guys for letting us be a part of your special day!

Collin, Ms. Jillian and Katie. Oh how our family LOVES Mrs. Jillian!

Jackson Matt

Jackson is a great eater! He loves carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, applesauce, bananas, peaches, pears - are you loving the curls here?
Jackson seems to be the messiest eater of all my kiddos or maybe I've just forgotten just how messy the other 2 were.

The curls are tamed here and he is looking pretty solemn.

Jackson cannot stand to not see the door of his bedroom while he is in his crib. So he has smashed down his bumper pad so he can keep an eye out for me. I think it's adorable.

Here is that sweet boy in an aerial shot. Oh, he is so much fun! And has such personality! Love, love, love that boy!

Braum's Factory Tour

Miss Kate ready to hear the talk on the Braum's Family Farm.
"This is THE cow that helps make the milk for the ice cream?" - quote from Katie.

Sister's favorite flavor!

There is no proof that Jackson attended this field trip but he was there. Collin did not attend because he was at camp and had no idea he was missing a fun day at the ice cream factory.

Katie eating her ice cream at the end of the tour. Fun day, fun times - I'm just a little late posting about this fun day.
