Welcome March!
I can't believe it is March already. This year is flying by so quickly. I am looking forward to getting through March though, since I am off track in April :) We are looking forward to some fun things...The Otts are coming down to visit and Colby is starting preschool! He is very excited to go to "class" as he calls it :) He is starting somewhere new...he's not going to Circle City where Jack went. I will miss Circle City, but am excited about the preschool that we found for him! I think he's going to do well :) We are also gearing up for Opening Day next weekend for our baseball team--the Cubs!!

Here are a few pics from this weekend at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum with Uncle Charley & Aunt Karen :)

I loved these doors...too bad they had those ugly signs on them!
All of us on the stagecoach. We have a picture like this before any of us had kids :)
Charley, Karen, and baby Clark :)

Yeeee---hawwww!!! We laughed so hard when he did this!!

The boys on the horsie :)

They had a panning for gold activity outside for the kids. Colby LOVED it and kept going back to get more gold!!

Uncle Charley helped Colby find some gold!!

My boyz in jail!!!

We hit crazy rain that day driving up to LA. On the way home, we saw this huge rainbow!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Well, I haven't been very good at keeping up on my blog lately. It seems like life got extra busy in December and hasn't really slowed down. Baseball season has begun and Kaleb is coaching Jack's team this year. I am the Team Mom on top of being Room Mom for his class. I think I've taken on too much, but what's new :) Jack turned 6 a week ago & maybe I'll get around to posting those pictures soon! I can't believe how big our boys are getting...not just old, but tall!! It won't be long before I am the shortest person in the house!

On Friday we were very busy with Valentine's parties! Kaleb had the day off so he got to come to Jack's school party, which I had organized being the Room Mom. Then I had my own class party in the afternoon, and then Colby's day care party after school!! Last night Ka & I got to go on a date night. We had dinner at Panera Bread (one of our favs) and saw the Valentine Movie. We also went shopping & bought my 10 year anniversary band! I can't wait for our vow renewal in Cancun in July!!

Here are some pictures from our Valentine's adventures :)
My beautiful flowers & Starbucks goodies from the hubby :)

I made heart shaped waffles for the boys this morning & put out their goodies. Here was Colby's set up :)

Mommy & Jack at his class party...

Jack was SOOOOO excited to have Daddy at his school. I guess he thanked him 3 times for coming :)

Christmas Themed Weekend

We decorated our tree & wrote letters to Santa this weekend :) Kaleb & I got all our Christmas shopping for the boys done too! It was a fun weekend!

Jackson's: Nascar track, color blaster,3 candy canes, star wars DS game.
Colby dictated his letter to me: Lawn Mower, motorcycle, tools, 2 spaceships, monkey, candy cane.

Santa Breakfast
We had the Santa Breakfast at school last Saturday. We had yummy pancakes, saw friends, and talked to Santa! Surprisingly, Colby actually talked to Santa! This is a first for him!!!
Daddy flipped pancakes for the school...

Colby helped out too :)

Happy Turkey Day!!
We went to Bakersfield this Thanksgiving and had a great time!! Charley & Karen hosted dinner this year & it was so yummy! They decorated up their table really cool too :)

My sweet little guy, Colby :)

Uncle Charley giving Jack his first piano lesson. Jack is really interested in learning to play lately...

On Friday night, Grandma & Grandpa watched the boys and we went out with Charley & Karen. We had a super fun night! We went to dinner & then saw New Moon..the boys were SOOO not excited about the movie :)

My brother refusing to have a normal face in this picture! I took like 3 pictures, and all had some sort of face!!

Turkey Feast & Awards Assembly
This was our last week at school & was full of fun! We had the Turkey Feast on Thursday, where the parents could come eat turkey lunch with their kiddos. The Kindergartners were all dressed up in their Indian outfits :) I have a vague memory of doing this when I was in Kinder too!
I got someone to watch my class for a little while, so I could join Jack to eat :)

Then on Friday, we had our school-wide awards assembly. Jackson got the Award of Excellence in all academic areas. His teacher also put a note on his award that read, "Jack has passed 8 reading levels in 3 months." We are so proud of Jack Jack!!

Jack waiting at the awards assembly. This was a big deal for the little ones, as this was their first assembly with the rest of C track (Kinder-6th grade).

I felt SO proud watching Jack get his award!!!
