Jet goes to School

Jet started school this year! He is in Mrs. Westley's afternoon kindergarten class at Amberly Elementary! So far he likes it, when I ask him what he did that day he says, "You know, just read books and played and wrote some stuff. No big deal Mom." His first day, standing by the closet where he will keep his bookbag, coat, boots etc

Rogue goes to the eye doctor

Rogue has been blinking her eyes lots and lots lately. I don't just mean like a regular blink, but something more purposeful and like she knows she's doing it. We ask her if her eyes hurt and she says no, but it's been going on a while now. So last week when we were in at the doctors getting his hearing tested for school we asked them, they referred us to an eye doctor, saying that could be a sign she needed glasses...so off we went. She looks super excited to be there doesn't she???

To get her into the chair I had to let her dig through my purse looking for snackies!

After her visit which she did really good at, for someone who hates strangers and strange places, it has been determined that there's no need for glasses this year, maybe next year and maybe not, by then hopefully she'll be more willing to talk during the appointment and we'll be able to get a better judgement of what she's seeing. He also said there's nothing physically wrong with her eyes (lack of tears etc) so we're headed back to the doctor to figure out what's going on.

Welcome Baby Pearl!

About 3 weeks ago now, Andy's sister Besty and her husband Schy welcomed their first little girl into their family, Pearl Birdie...Here's a few pics of the cute new addition to their family! The proud father

Jet was so good with the baby, sweet and talking to her!

The amazing baby whisperer!

When Miss Pearl was fussy Andy just took her and she was happy as could be!

Congrats Betsy and Schy!

Fall Fashion Preview

This post if mainly for Granny and Nanny....we all went shopping the other day, however, I can't take a half day and meet them anymore. I ended up finding an amazing sale at The Childrens Place, and here's what I got for the sisters....They picked out what they liked after I got everything home.

Pfizer Family Fun Day (and other fun)

Pfizer has a family fun day every summer, this years was at a family activity center wtih go karts, mini golf, and bowling. It also had a bounce house, arts and crafts, and a game arcade. There was also a taco buffet (which Roguey loved!) and lots of other good food all day long. Below are a couple of pics of us there. Jet and Steve in a go-kart (Andy had Harleigh and I had Rogue)

Jet played soccer this spring for the first time. It will probaly be the only time he plays as he doesn't like it. In his own words, "It's all about running and I just don't like running that much."
