really?

does anyone know who this young lady is?

because she is surely not my child.. way to beautiful for sure.

jordan had an event to attend tonight and is oh so very lucky enough to have a mom with a {small} obsession when it comes to photography...

so, i give you just a couple of my jordan...

maybe i should lock the door and surely throw away the key...

okay, gotta go do that right now..

wait, she is still at the dance, must wait until she gets home to never let her out of the house again, ever! :)

offically done with school

yesterday was josie's last day of preschool....

it was a fun day spent with all of her classmates at a classmate's house.

there were toys, fun, horses, snacks, songs, stories and lots of good memories made.

hard to believe that my "baby" will officially be in kindergarten next year...

next thing you know, she'll be leaving the house.

you think i'm joking.. but you blink and they've grown up right before you very eyes.

i'm so thankful to her teacher's at Bethlehem Lutheran preschool- miss tess and miss veronica for a wonderful year.

so, it's officially summer for the joey and you can bet that she will be reminding her still going to school sisters that she gets to sleep in for the next 8 days...

updates....

happy tuesday!
just a couple of our semi completed house.
we worked on our yard this past saturday finishing the flowerbeds and i must admit i love it!
we are planning on finishing up the paint this coming weekend {fingers crossed for nice weather}
and then all we will have left will be:
finishing touches like,
shutters
detail trim above the windows and door
top hat cap redo on pillars
you know really, this list could go on and on so i will spare you the agony.
so, thanks for stopping by and see ya soon!

happy birthday my love~

a mere 5 years ago today this amazing redhead came into our lives and we haven't been the same since!

for today is my joey's birthday....

oh how i love her.

i could go on and on about this one.

so if you don't mind, i will {for just a second}

let me see....

she can add and subtract {in her head and without her fingers}
write anything and everything under the sun
sound out words and write them down
send email
send text
do amazing hair do's
run the direct tv remote
entertain herself for hours on end
make a pretty awesome pb & j sandwich
loves her sisters like no other
loves her mom and dad more
love to play with chuck and trixie
loves home more than anywhere else on earth
she is:
shy
super smart
bossy
redheaded
5 going on 15
so ready for kindergarten
ready for school to end and start
loves her life

as a mother who loves her children dearly, i could go on and on, but hey, you don't have that much free time on your hands.

so thanks for giving me a second or two of your time...

until then, josie says "rock on"!

justin and jacob

justin above her bed

jacob at the foot of her bed

trying it out...

ahh.. heaven!


first of all- i'm sorry i've been such a bad blogger lately. do i even still have any followers?

hello, is this thing on? anyone out there?

okay, back to the business at hand-

i would like you to meet josie's men.....justin and jacob!

so, is it bad that my almost 5 year old buys herself a justin bieber poster at the store and asks me to hang it on the ceiling?

let's not even mention the flag flying on the wall that says "women who behave, rarely make history"!

ha ha ha ha

we are such bad parents!

nah, we just have kids who know what they like,

and it happens to be two really cute boys.

can't say i blame her on the one. {justin}

i've been known to listen to his cd's in the car.. even when i am alone.

i'm a big girl i can admit it :)!

don't look too close to joey's room as it is about to go thru an overhaul in the next week or so...

i'll keep ya posted.

just imagine poka dots, hearts and butterflies-

and jacob and justin, of course!
