February Birthday's

Once again, Trace & Trevor turn another year older...on the same day!  We've always thought it was cool that Trace & Trevor share the same birthday.  We've always celebrated their birthday's together and we did it again this year.  In addition, we always do something special for Daddy and Trevor's parents do something special for him.  But, it's great that we can all celebrate them together as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FAVORITE BOYS!

 Trevor ~ Trace

 We celebrated with lots of balloons this year!

 Trevor wasted no time tearing into his gifts!

 A dump truck pillow for his new room!

 Daddy open magnets with our pictures on them!

 Lots of "Courage" things from his mom!

New church outfit from Grammy & Grandpa Baker.

Between us & Grandma & Grandpa Kendig, Trevor got everything he needed to decorate his new room!

He was excited!!  He got to choose the color and theme of his room...he did a great job!

Aubri sitting in for Daddy & Trevor for a picture with the cake!  She helped place the candles.

La la la.....Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Daddy & Trevor, Happy Birthday to you!!

The other special event during the birthday celebration, was Aubri's very 1st bubble!!

She's been trying to blow bubbles with her gum for weeks, even months and today was the day she got it!

Trevor looks handsome in his new outfit!

His new room all finished!

School

We (actually, my mother-in-law, aka. Grandma) found a fabulous new school for Aubri to attend.  Everything about it looked great so I decided to take the plunge and go visit.  I thought it would be a quick 15 minute or so visit, but it ended up being the entire 2 hour class time!  Aubri was having so much fun she didn't want to leave.  That warmed my heart.  The visit and tour was great, Aubri had a blast, and it was done...she will attend there!

Starting in February through the end of the school year, she will go every Friday morning from 9:35-11:35 in the 2's & 3's Playtime classroom.  In addition, she has a spot in their Preschool program next fall and will attend 3 mornings.

It's been exciting and she really enjoys going.  I think it's excellent for her to have that interaction with other little kiddos, have an organized and structured "school" playtime experience, have an environment where she is learning and taking direction from other leaders, and simply having some time on her "own" away from all of us who love her dearly!

First Day:

 She's ready for her 1st day!

 A forced "cheese" makes her look frightened.

 Not to worry, she was really happy!  In fact, she gave very quick hugs & kisses good bye and headed right in, making herself at home with the rice table, play dough station, and snow coloring table.

 Her very own cubby!  Her picture is there now.

 Her lead teacher, Miss Jenny!  She's getting a sticker.

 Time for shoes.  She took them off to put on some "whoo whoo" shoes for dress up.

She had an awesome first day and loves to go every Friday!!

School Picture Day

 She had school pictures and as always, did an outstanding job!  Here, she practices her smile.

What a goose!

Oh, by the way, her new school is called Plymouth Nursery School.

Oh, so far behind.

Once again, I am so far behind in the bloggin world.  It's been a month since I blogged last.  Holy cow. What is wrong with me besides the fact that I work full time, take care of an amazing yet super busy little girl, keep up the house work, take naps, and enjoy life with my family. What can I say, lately blogging just hasn't been a high priority.  Ever since we moved it's just been crazy busy getting settled so that's my excuse this time...and I'm stickin with it.

I have a lot of odds & ends pictures and then some that I'll post separately.  These are all from February.

Here we go...

 Brushing teeth!

 What you can't see is that they blink and they are brushing in the dark!

 Little Princess

 Fun with bubbles!

 She's such a goof ball!

 Snuggle time with Daddy!

She's the sweetest!

A Day Spent Outdoors With Grandma & Grandpa Kendig

 They made a snowman!

 Just hangin out in the backyard!

 She loves the snow!  It was a beautiful winter day in Iowa.

Opening a package from Grammy full of clothes!!

There's a start...I've got 3 more single posts to do to be up to speed PLUS Valentine's Day; so, make it 4!
