MOPS and Bible Study

I joined MOPS (mother of pre schooler) this year and I am stoked about it. I have only been to one meeting, but I can already tell it is a fabulous group of women. We meet every other Tuesday for two hours. Child care is provided so that the moms can focus on the speaker, curriculum, etc. It is a Christian based program that meets at my church. We will also do things outside the church such as playdates, moms nights out, etc. I cannot wait until the next meeting! 
I also signed up for a bible study at our church that will meet on Friday mornings. I'm so excited to get the book and dive right in! 
Good things to come....I know it!

Finishing touches...

We are finally getting the formal living room finished. We got the pillows for the couch and got the coffee table in. We couldn't have done it without our very talented friend Amy's help!! We need some things for the mantle and some lamps and then we will be finished! 


House Plans....

A long time ago when we were first remodeling the house, Jason's mom was here helping us. She was cleaning in the master closet and came across the original house plans for our house! What an awesome find! We have all the blueprints for each view of the house and first floor and second floor. We decided to get the front view framed. It turned out great!!


Serious yard work

We have had several estimates on someone coming out to the house and clearing out a bunch of overgrown mess around the house, but they have been so high! We found one guy that we think will get us a good deal on mulch and weed barrier. So Jason decided to pull out all the overgrown brush himself to save some money. It was a lot of work, but he got a TON of brush pulled out and hauled away. Go Jason! Will post more pics soon!

Nolan Keith

Nolan is growing up so fast. He is so stinking cute! I don't think I will ever let him get a girlfriend...ha! On Sunday he went with Daddy and got a big boy haircut. He looks so grown up now. Jason said he pretty much cried the entire haircut except twice when a blonde woman walked by. Don't know if he likes blondes or maybe he thought it was his momma? His sisters and I think his new haircut is adorable! Bubs is growing up!

First day of school!

The first day of school for the girls went off great! They both love their teachers. Addyson has a man for a second grade teacher this year. His name is Mr. Murphy and he is awesome! Her favorite friend in her class is Taylor and they sit right next to each other! Katelyn has Mrs. Wick for preK 4 and she seems fabulous! Katelyn said her favorite friend so far is a boy named Max! She asked me if he could be her boyfriend when she was a bit older....oh boy! They are growing up so fast. I'm cherishing these moments for sure!! 

Well visits

I'm soooo behind on my blogging. The kids went for their well visits three weeks ago. They are all doing great! Addyson is in the 10%ile for height and 50%ile for weight (she weighed in at 49lbs). She got a flu mist and no shots. Katelyn is in the 20%ile for height and weight (she weighed in at 34lbs). She got a flu mist and no shots (they gave me the choice of doing them now or her 5 year visit and I'm a wimp and decided to wait). Nolan wasn't so lucky....he got four shots (really five because they combine two in one) including his flu vaccine. He is in the 75%ile for weight and 50%ile for height and head circumference. He weighed in at 27 lbs!! We feel so blessed to have three healthy kiddos!
