4 Months

 

I can't believe another month has come and gone and that my baby is 4 months old. Time seems to fly quicker with each child. I can't even remeber what is was like without Paxten, it is so wonderful to have his sweet little spirit in our home. The other kids love him to pieces and are constantly trying to make him smile. He is getting his own personality and loves to be the center of attention. He loves it when he is talked to and can smile right on cue. He has the cutest gummy smile and you can't help but smile back at him. He melts my heart!! We (when I say we I mean me!) are still having trouble getting him to sleep at night or to take very long naps. I am not sure why he doesn't sleep good, I seem to have tried everything. He loves to be outside enjoying the sunshine as long as it isn't in his eyes. He loves the warmer weather and being able to have his legs be free. So come on warm weather get here and stay here please for Paxten!!!

Naughty Kids

Sunday Matt set the sprinkler for a while and we had been outside enjoying the sunshine. Matt and I came inside for a few minutes and before we knew it this is what was going on outside.....

 

I had to take a picture, and then I got mad at them for first playing in the water, especially on Sunday and then for taking off their clothes!! They of course thought it was hilarious!!

Paige's New Do

 

Yesterday I found a wad of hair on the ground. Immediately I was worried, I ran into Paige's room and as soon as I saw her I saw an ugly mullet. She had cut her own hair, and it was not a good cut. She had cut her entire right side about to ear length. I was mortifies. After I looked at it and surveyed the damage, I stil didn't know what I was going to do with it. She has been telling me that she wants to grow it out like Repunzel, well so much for that idea!! She thought it was so funny that she cut her own hair. I was trying to tell her how bad it was and how naughty she was, but I was giggling myself, it was that or start crying. My mom came over after she got home from work and I was able to cut her hair into a relatively cute style. Paige said she loves her haircut, great that didn't teach her a thing!! It did turn out quite cute, but no more pigtails for a while. At least it won't be in her face all summer long. I guess it had to happen some time, I am just glad I could fix it myself and I didn't have to take her out in public with her mullet!!

Uh-Oh

This morning when I woke up I saw this on the floor...

School Lunch

The summer school lunch started today and I decided on a whim to take the kids because they were serving chicken nuggets. Would you know it, both the kids ate almost all of it!! The is a record at our house. They both were so excited about eating school lunch that they gobbled it right up. What a way to start the summer. I love not having to fix them lunch, and it gets us up and going and out of the house for an hour or so. We are also enjoying the summer movies. They started last week and the kids have a fun time going to the theater and watching a movie and having popcorn. We will be busy this summer having lots and lots of fun!! Yay!

My Pretty Princess

I took the kids to get pictures at the end of May and before I had gotten them all ready Paige decided to help me out by doing her own makeup. This was the result:





And yes, I did wash it off before we went to get the pictures taken. What am I going to do with this girl?

Parker's Preschool Graduation

Parker had his preschool graduation on the 19th of May and the rest of the month got away from me. So I finally have a moment to sit down and write about it. Parker has been going to preschool for 2 years and I think it was one of the best decisions I made to put him in. He has grown up so much and I think he is really ready for kindergarten next year. It took him a while but he can finally write his name and can say most of the letters in the alphabet. He can count to 12 really well and a few more numbers to 20 (he gets a little mixed up here and there). For the graduation program the teachers, Miss Joni and Miss Allyson, asked each of the kids if they had one wish what would it be. Each of the kids responses became their line in the program. When they sent home Parker's part on a piece of paper for him to practice I had to laugh. It said that Parker's wish was, "To be strong and handsome" What a funny kid that out of all the wishes that is what he said. Other kids wished to go camping, or get a pony, or be a princess and Parker said that. It was pretty funny, in fact it got a good laugh out of the audience at the graduation. I already think Parker is strong and handsome and he will only keep becoming more strong and handsome. It was a fun night to see him with his friends and to sing the songs he has been working on. We are excited for him to be in kindergarten and for Paige to start preschool in the fall.
