Random Things Going On

I wanted to take time to post some random things that's been going on around here. As you know, the kids are keeping me very busy yet they always add a lot of laughter to my life. I'm so blessed and very thankful for my family!
*Reese's school has studying the days of creation this month. This week they focused on day 7 when God rested in heaven. So all the teachers and students all wore their pj's to school and ate pancakes. This is a picture of Reese's pj's that he chose to wear that day still on while we made our pizzas for dinner last night.

*Here Adelyn is getting ready to eat her pizza's! She has gotten so big. I'm trying to hold out till summer to get her 4T pants/shorts. She is already in 4T shirts.

*She is super excited about her birthday coming up.......and can even tell you when her birthday is: April 27th. We marked it on the calendar because she would ask when she woke up if we could make her cake. Oh, she wants an Ariel cake from The Little Mermaid.

*I bought a dry erase board to put in our dining room for our memory verses. While running through the house this morning, she stopped, looked up and said her memory verse and then kept running. It was so cute.

*She likes to say, "That's my Hayden.....he is my buddy" and to call Reese she says, "Reesers!"

*Hayden has four molars that just broke the skin this week. So he has been quite the fussy kid lately. Yesterday was the first time he actually smiled for the camera. :-D

*I couldn't stop laughing the other day because when he plays patty cake by himself, he "rolls and rolls" his arms and "throws" them in the pan by throwing his arms up.

*He has started covering his mouth when he laughs.

*His new sign is for eat. That's such a huge help to know that he want/needs something to eat.

*He likes to use his pointer finger more and more. When I'm bringing him his food to the table, he point to the table where I should put it.

This video is of the boys playing Star Wars together. Reese really knows how to act! :-D

Chocolate Town

We were so blessed to have Brad home for a couple of days this week. One was filled with doctors appointments while the other was a trip to Hershey, PA.

We took Hayden into the ENT. Poor guy has had 7 ear infections in 9 months. He is on antibiotics right now for a double ear infections. He will have tubes put in on March 11th. While we know this is the best option for him, we have a few concerns with him "going under". The procedure is only 10 minutes and I'll be in the room up until he goes under the anesthesia. We will be able to go home the same day. We ask for your prayers for him.

Our sweet Hayden at 15 months!

So let's talk Chocolate!! It took us only 2 1/2 hours to drive to Hershey. When we told the kids were going to a chocolate factory, they were excited. Reese and Adelyn would say, "Mommy, I'm hungry. Can I have some chocolate?" We made sure they ate well before we got there and we ended up not buying any chocolate!! Can you believe that? We were thankful to get some for free when we took the chocolate tour.

All of us after our tour of the chocolate factory.

This was a special day for Reese. We had planned on buying him a shirt with his name on it. He was so super excited. He put it on right after we bought it. We got it a little bigger so he could grow into it. He kept saying, "That's my name!" (When we chose to spell Reese's name this way, I didn't realize it was the same as the candy!) I know he will want to wear it on Wed to school.

So happy! :-)
