Abbie's Jolly Rancher Award

3/28/2015

 
Today my sweet girl received the "Jolly Rancher Award" because "her positive attitude brings joy to our class." The teacher explained that she's always smiling and joyful. I couldn't think of a better award for Abbie to receive.  Greg and I are so blessed to have such a joyful daughter. :)

Isaac's Dinosaur 2nd Birthday Party

3/22/2015

 
This weekend we celebrated Isaac's 2nd birthday!  We had a dinosaur birthday party for our little man.  Our little guest of honor wore his favorite dinosaur costume.  The kiddos "Fed the T-Rex" by tossing eggs into his mouth, colored dinosaur masks, and had a "Dinosaur" egg hunt.  Isaac's favorite part was the food - chips, chocolate candies, and ice cream - what more could a guy ask for?  He also loved opening his presents and playing with his cousins and friends.  Happy 2nd Birthday Little Dinosaur!

Hannah loves to play on her mat.  She's starting to get good at hitting her little toys and this morning she even managed to start grabbing them.  She's growing and changing so fast!
