Jenna's Party!

Yes, this year Jenna had a party at Build-a-Bear, we did a shared birthday with her best friend Emily from School. It was nice since they mainly have all the same friends. The party was so much fun!!

The two birthday girls- Emily and Jenna

Meet Jenna's new buddy: Abby the Peace Bear

Jenna and Maddie

They played many games!!

And I love how 1 does it so the others follow- I don't know who the leader was!!

Jenna stuffing her bear!

They were making wishes- Jenna has 9 hearts in her bear!!! They all made a wish for her and put it in her bear!!

This was a FUN group and a GREAT party!!

We had the party a little early due to all the events that were coming up- many more posts and pictures coming!!!

Build-a-bear for Peyton

Meet Snowflake- Peyton's new friend!!

And yes, this is what he got since Jenna got a party there. I struggle with the "fair" thing between siblings. Jenna's Party was friday night and Peyton went to his dad's house. So Saturday morning I took him to pick out a bear. It was a good time to spend with both the kids.

Happy Birthday Dad!! (revised)

Today is my Dad's Birthday!!!

So me and the kids went to Chic-fil-a to celebrate!!!

The pic has a friend from school that happened to be there and Jenna's homework assignment- Flat Stanley, that I forgot to do over the weekend.

My dad was not with us!!!!

My Dad is in South Dakota right now Buffalo Hunting.

He called today and he got one- he shot my grandpa's, and Matt shot his!!

At least he got to shoot something on his birthday!!

My Dad is the greatest!

He is quiet, strong, he makes me want to try harder and do better without ever saying a word. He works harder than anyone I know! And is a good provider!! (We also now have meat for the next 2 years!) He is Amazing!! Lately, we have been running together in the morning and I love it. We have such a good time joking around, talking seriously, or just being there with each other. I love you Daddy!! Happy Birthday!!

Pittsburgh Zoo

This weekend was a long weekend for the kids- I mean they had four days off! We were busy and had a lot of fun!! Monday I had my internship, so was at school. My mom took my kids with Laura and her kids to Pittsburgh to the zoo there for a little day trip!!

They had a really good time!! I am sad I couldn't be there!!

Jenna is really growing up- it is actually scary to me!!!

I heard a lot of the animal pictures she took!!!

Welcome Fall!!

Saturday evening we went to a neighbors/ friends home for a fall party! We had a great time! Potluck dinner, painted pumpkins, visited, kids played, little straw maze and good food!!

Leaves are finally having a little color!!

Love all the colors here in Ohio!!

This was friday after school!!!

Right before it down poured rain!!

Going to the Dentist

This is Jenna "going blind!" since she is not watching what is going on- she feels more brave that way!!

She loves going to the dentist! This is a treat for her!!

Peyton needed a little more encouragement. Here he is opening wide when the assistant isn't any where near him!! He is so funny! And he needed sun glasses to be brave!!

I love his grin- he thinks he is soo funny!!!

Now he is really doing it!!!

The kids did great!!

Both kids have really small mouths and I was concerned with Jenna loosing her teeth that there is no room for the big teeth to come in! She lost another tooth this day right after leaving the dentist office. And I was right. They siad not to worry about it now and in 6 months they will look again and we can devise a plan!!!

I will put up another picture of Jenna later- she is so cute, Toothless!!!

NSCS

Just a little bragging.....

I was inducted into the

National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
