Winter in Summer~Jack's Half Year Party

Oh winter weather is so frightful

And summer weather is do delightful

So come and have some first day of winter fun

In the warm summer sun!

Poor Jack...since he has been born it has been stormy, winter weather on his actual birthday. I guess that's what happens when you are born on the First Day of Winter. So we have been throwing him a half year party. This year he finally let me throw him and winter theme in the summer. Since Jack went to school he has made some of his own friends and wanted to have a friend party. So he invited his closest friends and we had fun in the backyard. Afterwards, the uncles and grandparents came over for some fun. I can't believe how big he is getting. He looks more like a little boy each day. His baby fat is gone. However much Jack wanted this party, he still doesn't like all the attention on him. My shy guy!

Jack blows out his snowman cupcake! Happy 3 1/2 Birthday My Little Man!

Dance Recital 2010

Another year of dance has come to an end. This was a special year since Kayleigh received her 3 year trophy. It was a year of tap and ballet. Everyone seemed to get a laugh that Kayleigh's tap song was "Rockin' Robin". Her ballet song was "I see a Princess" and it made me well up a bit. Yes, I am a bit sappy when it comes to my kiddos. Kayleigh enjoyed the year and can't wait for next year. She is already talking about taking part in the Finale. She loves Miss Jen and adored her helpers, Miss Kim and Miss Madison. Kayleigh kept track of all the acts Miss Kim was in and was concerned when Miss Madison hurt herself so she could only participate on a limited basis. I can't wait for next year. She is finally dancing and I can't wait to see how much she grows next year!

The Proud Dancer....thanks Daddy. They are beautiful!

Me and my dancing princess. Finally a picture of me with my little girl

The Dress Rehearsal is over and the bun held up. Ready to head home and get some rest before the big day. Doesn't she look so grown up!?

Kayleigh's Last Day of Dance 2010

This year of dance went by so fast. Kayleigh loves to dance and had a blast. This year was special because she received her 3 year trophy. She also got another perfect attendance award. Kayleigh we are really proud of you!

Great job Kayleigh!

Kayleigh admires her trophy.

Practicing the routine for the recital.

Kayleigh receives her 3 year trophy

A perfect year of attendance for a perfect girl

Kayleigh's Preschool Graduation

I can't believe that Kayleigh is done with Preschool. The two years have gone by way too fast. She has grown so much and is ready for Kindergarten. I'm not sure if I am ready for her to go. But the time has come for her to keep moving forward. She made some terrific friends and has developed a love for school that I hope she keeps forever. Our little girl is growing up. The Graduate

Kayleigh and Owen...she finally realized it's okay to be friends with boys and this is her first real boy friend. Jim and I couldn't ask for a sweeter friend. This one she found all on her own. If this is what she chooses, then we have nothing to worry about. Owen just has to worry about Kayleigh finding him in college and getting him to propose to her.

The Graduate and her favorite J boys....Jack and Jim

Having a great time performing

Jack's Last Day of School

Jack had a great year of preschool. He loved going and made some good friends. He can't wait to go back in the fall. The last day was a perfect day for an End of the Year picnic. Jim took a half day so he could be there to share the moment with Jack.

Hugs from Big Sister Kayleigh who fondly remembers her picnic.

He has gotten so big. I can't believe that he will soon be 4.

Hi Mommy!

Jack and Miss Short Hair.

He couldn't remember the names of his teachers so he fondly called them by the length of their hair.

And here is Jack with Miss Long Hair.

The teachers are great and Jack loved going to school to see them.
