Future Class of 2023

Just got Jaycie's first class picture and had to share!!! The future Class of 2023! :)

Literacy Night

I enjoy doing things with Jaycie at her school. We went to literacy night at Lake Park last week and it was a lot of fun! She read (told the story of) "Goodnight Moon" to Fletcha the black lab...visited the Cat in the Hat...played Starfall of a big touch screen...made a trash book....described how to eat an oreo...did more coloring and art work....and got to pick something out at the book fair!

CRUISE!!

I never posted my cruise pics!! What have I been doing?? We had a wonderful, awesome, amazing Carnival cruise from Galveston to Progresso and Cozumel. We spent the night before boarding at my Grandma Dobbin's house in La Porte, TX. We enjoyed Grandpa Don's dinner and breakfast meals! Before getting on the ship, we found a shop in Galveston that had our flip flops that we have wanted since we bought some a few years back there. :) The ship was great. HUGE! Our room was just right...little but everything we needed. We were comfortable and had a window to see the ocean. Here is our map from our TV in the room that always showed us where we were. Here we are at our dining room table on captain's night. We dressed up and took pics and had prime rib (some had lobster). It was fun! We loved dinner every night in the dining room with our new cruise friends. Here is the party crowd.

We enjoyed sharing our day's events with our table each night. It was nice to get to know some new people and have some friends to hang out with and go watch karaoke after dinner!

In Progresso, we took a bus to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. We loved seeing everyting there. This is the ball court where the losers were sacrificed. Our tour guide gave us some really cool history! The stone carvings were really neat in person!

Cancun was too windy and not quite hot enough to enjoy. Our snorkeling trip was cancelled, so I was very sad. We shopped instead. It was good to get home to the kiddos, but so nice to get away for a week! Thanks to family for taking good care of them and returning them rotten!

Cinderella

We went to the Putnam City West's play Cinderella with our friends. It was a fun little mother daughter date and the girls got to dress up like Cinderalla for the occasion. Catherine and Heather Thomas (our friends at church and occasional babysitter) were awesome as usual...the little drama queens. Jaycie enjoyed finding them on stage. Catherine was gorgeous as the fairy Godmother and Heather was hilarious as a step sister. Lovely evening!!!

We got to take some pics after the play with Cinderella too! As you can see...Jaycie loves Heather!

Spring Break 2010

We went to see the new Children's exhibit at the OKC Zoo. It was really nice and lots of fun even though it was a chilly day! These girls are always great posers! Will have to get more pics of the boys to share!

Jaycie and Margie

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This is a classic Jaycie picture these days, so I had to share. She is writing her name really well now, including the last name (dunno why it is there twice however) She has always colored beautifully and with detail..especially with crayons. I am proud of her! Her teacher, Mrs. Owen loves to show me her work. I get plenty at home too though. She draws hearts and writes ILU (I love you) frequently too.

Nathan on the other hand has never shown an interest in coloring until now. I am excited to see that he is beginning to trace things and will occasionally color something for fun. These are great pre-handwriting skills that I was hoping would come soon since he starts pre K THIS August!! Crazy!

*Hope everyone has a good St. Pattys and that you always find "pots of gold" at the end of your rainbows!!!*

Birthday nails

For Jaycie's birthday, Grandma Brown treated her to professional finger and toe nail polishing. She felt like a princess and it was fun to watch her pick her colors, etc.
