Get your creative Caps On!

Alright Bloggy friends...we have a project! Kennedy has to create a "Valentine Box" for school. It can be as big as you want, made anyway you want! I cannot think of anything, and she doesn't have any of her own creative ideas(This I think is a first!) I have googled it and get pretty much the same ole same ole! This project has to be completed by February 10th! I did have one thought, A "Hot Air Ballon" I have the cutest lil basket that I think looks just like the basket on a hot air balloon. I thought it would be cute to attach the basket to a balloon with strings and use the basket as the "mail box" but the problem is the balloon won't stay afloat for 4 whold days? Any ideas?
HELP!!!

Happy Anniversary To Us!
























Note before reading this post: I have no idea why my pics would not scan in bigger, if you can help me, please send a comment! It makes me very sad that we are soo small!
Here's To 9 Wonderful Years! I am happy to say that it doesn't seem like that long ago, but as you can see by these pictures, It's been a while! Our wedding was tons of fun! Our wedding party was made up of a very close knit group of friends who had been together since elementary school! So....we got to sit back and enjoy our special time together! Thanks friends and family for helping make that day 9 years ago (Yesterday) soo special! We love you all!

Keeping it going!

This will in fact be a pictureless post! I vowed to myself to "try" to post something once a week to keep this going! Our weeks are soo very consumed with gymnastics for both girls, and I must add they are both getting very good, dance & not least important, school work... that I hardly have time to sleep much less blog! First grade is serious school with homework every night! Kennedy is doing well, book testing & making A+'s on most of her tests!! Sydney is working hard at "Honey's School" too. In looking for items for Kennedy to take & count out for her class for the 100th day of school, Sydney said, "I need some for my class"! So we of course got "her class" some too! Her class only consists of her! Even though they fuss a lot, they love, love, love each other! Back to gymnastics, I will take pics this week and hopefully a video of Kennedy doing her back handspring! Can all you cheerleaders believe it...my kid is tumbling! And Sydney well...she is a natural, and if she were a super hero, she would be "Flexi Girl", her flexibility amazes us all!
We are counting down the days to Sydney's 3rd Birthday, HOLY COW, I cannot believe she will be 3 in less than 30 days! More to come on this event, as she has been planning her "Pwincesth Pargy" for a while now!

Principal Pal

Kennedy was picked to be the Principal Pal for Empathy! Kennedy truly is an empathetic kid! She has such a big heart and cares deeply & thinks deeply about others feelings soo much! This is the first time she has been picked for this honor. Kennedy has wanted to be a Principal Pal since Pre-K, since she thinks Mr. Baker is pretty great!
On a side note, this picture cracks me up! I do fix her hair for school! However, Monday morning it was soo cold, I just pulled it back in a ponytail instead of wetting & gelling appropriately! This will not happen again...She must have gel to tame the curls! I'm sure this will be a picture she looks at when she is 15 and say..."What in the world was up with my hair?" We love her soo much even with her frizzy hair and I'm soo thankful she is "Empathetic!"

My Two Beauties!

A small sampling of photos taken of our family, in an attempt to get a good picture for Christmas cards. Wow...it was a lot of work! It's not easy first of all getting JJ to agree to a photo shoot & secondly to get a good/decent pic of all four of us! But...I think it was pretty successful! As you can see K is quite the poser & S well...she posed, just wrong side up!






Here Goes Nothin!

I so enjoy reading all my friends blog postes, I decided to join in the fun too! Soo here we go!
