It's a Party!

What a fun filled day we had celebrating the boys' birthdays! We had a great turnout with lots of family and friends (papa even missed opening fishing for the first year Ever to be with us). The kids had a ball playing together (at one time there were 15 kids 5 and under!) The weather was not great so no outside fun this year but the kids didn't seem to mind. Carter really loved the cake (chocolate like he wanted and Star Wars themed like Jack wanted) and Jackson loved the powdered sugar donughts we bought since he doesn't eat cake. Thank you to everyone who came and helped us celebrate!

Ike comes to visit

Ike came to spend the day with the kids and I while Shana was at work on the 8th. It was so much fun having him over and the kids just loved playing with him. He was so good and so sweet. After a fun filled day I packed everyone up in the van and we met Jeff at the bus depot and headed out to Sam's Club (4 kids under 5 gets lots of looks from people!) Then we met Shana, Ali, Mike, grandma and papa all at TGIFridays and had dinner. It was a fun day but boy was I tired!

I am also happy to announce that we will be having more days like this soon because Uncle Marty, Auntie Shana and Ike are moving back to MN in June and will be living in Maple Grove!! We can't wait!

Family Day at Preschool

Last Friday was Family Day at Jackson's preschool. He was so excited to bring Grandma Chris, Carter, Isabel and mommy with him to show his friends at school. Sadly Grandma Ann was not able to make it due to a nasty flu bug, but she was with us in our hearts.

Jackson had fun with the shaving cream and food coloring that they used to "paint" thier leaves for thier family trees. However, as soon as the project got really messy he left the rest to Grandma Chris because he didn't want to get his hands dirty (truely 1st child personality).

Grandma Chris read a story to the boys during free time and Carter also decided to do some painting (a true artist)

The boys loved the cookie making part of the day. They each got to add some of the ingredients and do some stirring(watch out Martha Stewert here come the Kephart boys!).

We also did circle time and story time as a class. Sparky the dog (the class puppet) came out and Jackson proudly stood up and introduced his family to Sparky (it was soooo sweet). Carter spent most of circle time with his hand on Miss Barb's knee so enchanted by the whole experience of preschool.

What a fun day we had!
