Air and Space Museum

Jeremy and I have been married for 6 years today!!! We are so excited! We have been talking for about a week and where we want to go but it has been raining for days and we knew it would be to wet to do what we wanted so last night I got a crazy idea how about we go to the Air and Space Museum for our anniversary. We thought about it and decided it was a great idea and then we decided to take the kids with us. It was amazing. Jeremy had never been before so he took a guided tour and the children and I ran around looking and playing. We had so much fun it was great and Jeremy really enjoyed learning about the different planes and when they were used.

Here's Kaylee in the observatory. So happy.

JJ and Jaedon looking at the planes.

When we passed the space shuttle I knelt down and was telling the boys how this could go to the moon and how far away it was. JJ got very excited and proudly proclaimed "Mommy we can have one of these for Christmas." It was even funnier as the people around us began to comment on how we could all use one or two for getting around.

A year in review

I found some old pictures on my phone and began reminiscing about the past year.

Congratulatons Jesse and Tiffany

Recently my Mothers cousins son got married, I think that makes us second cousins. I am very happy for them they seem to be a perfect couple. We (Jeremy and I) were able to attend the wedding and reception. We were also lucky enough to have so many family members from all over. Here are some of the pictures. Unfortunately not all of my pictures came out but I hope you will enjoy them.

Don't they make a cute couple

They were so nice

There was a brunch the next morning. I went with my Mom and we took all the children. They have two dogs and Jaedon thoroughly enjoyed them.

I Learned to use the Pedals

Jeremy and I have been working with Jaedon for a while now on using the pedals when he rides the tricycle. He has been making progress but the other day things seemed to all work together and he was able to ride using the pedals seemlessly. Fortunately I took some pictures.

Jaedon and Preschool

Jaedon started preschool this year. I am participating in a co-op preschool with some women I trust from church. This means that I will teach the class once every five weeks. It is really more like a play group centered around a theme. I love teaching and helping and Jaedon really loves it as well, plus it helps Jaedon feel more comfortable in nursery at church. These are some pictures of Jaedons first day and of today I taught about charts and then we tasted milk and charted how much we liked it.

JJ goes to school

Wow it seems like time always gets away from me. It has been 4 weeks since JJ has started school. He loves it to death. He has a great teacher who is strict but has an enormous amount of love for all the children. He gets to ride the bus home some days and I take him in mornings. So I wanted to show a few pictures from his first day of school.
