More Birthday Fun!

We celebrated our nephew Luke's 1st birthday at the Children's Museum in Decatur. There was something for all of the kids to do and they all had a lot of fun exploring and pretending. The bigger boys LOVED climbing all the way to the 2nd story, it was enclosed in nets. Jackson said his favorite was the car garage upstairs where he and Daddy could pretend to change the tires on the car.
We also were thankful to be able to stay in TH until tonight, so could spend time with Papa on his birthday!

Go Illini

My dad got us all some GREAT tickets to the Illini game on Thursday night. We had a lot of fun and the kids were great! We had never sat in the A section before, so that was pretty awesome and it was a very exciting game!

Knock, Knock, Who's There?

Kinsey was so cute after lunch playing "peek-a-boo" in her house. She would pop her head out with a HUGE smile and try to say "Hello!"
See for yourself in the video below.

Birthday Fun!

We spent the day yesterday in Waterloo celebrating my niece Claire's 4th birthday. Jackson was VERY excited to see and play with Claire. I made the mistake of telling him it was coming up a few weeks before hand. He, of course, asked me almost every morning if that day we were going to Claire's for her birthday. She had a Minnie Mouse party and everyone got Minnie or Mickey ears and tattoos.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Here are a few pictures of the kids from today. Kinsey LOVES to give kisses right now . . . it is so cute to watch her pucker up and come running after you! Jackson helped make some more heart cookies this morning and had to wear his "rock out star" glasses.

It was almost 70 today . . .

So what did we do, you might ask? Well, we played OUTSIDE all morning and even had a picnic lunch, of course! What else might you expect!

Kinsey Grace in Motion

I have been posting several things about Jackson lately and haven't posted about Kinsey in a while. So here are a couple videos of her from last Sunday. Hard to believe she was 15 months on Friday!!

Valentine's Party at Preschool

Jackson with his best buddy, Nathan, after their Valentine's Day Party at Preschool.

He says these are his "rock out star" glasses and insisted on wearing them when we went for a walk this afternoon. He is so funny!

1st Day of Preschool

Jackson went to his first day of Wee-Wildcat Preschool last week. It is just one morning a week for 2 hours, but he was really excited to go. And the great part is that he already knew almost half the kids from MOPS and church. Though I must admit I was kind of emotional the night before getting everything laid out and ready for the next morning, I can't believe that he is already old enough to go to "school". Partly, it was that I would be leaving him there for 2 hours and not staying in the building. But he was GREAT! I had to go over to where he was playing to say bye! The only thing that would have made it better for him is if the school bus had actually picked him up (which they don't do for preschool), but he was asking about it on the way!
