Paige & Hailey Start 1st Grade July 24, 2009

Filed under: Family, Milestones — julescruise @ 10:20 am

It’s hard to believe that Paige and Hailey are in 1st grade! They started last week. Their school district is on trimesters, so they go back to school earlier but get more breaks throughout the year. Riley came out to wait for the bus too!

We’re Having … June 5, 2009

Filed under: Family, News — julescruise @ 10:18 am

TWO MORE BOYS!!!! Yippee! So excited! I knew A was a boy after the last ultrasound. The tech didn’t say he was, but I could see :) Yesterday when they confirmed it, I was not surprised, but very happy Jack would have a brother. Then when they said B was a boy too I just started laughing! So, Al and Norma have 10 grandsons and my side has the Brady Bunch! We’ll post ultrasound pics this weekend. We also have new Jack pics that Gerry took with our new Canon camera, and they are so good! We’ll post them too!

 

Jack’s Going to be a Big Brother! May 12, 2009

I am a bit belated on posting this on the blog, but for those of you who don’t know … Jack is going to be a big brother this fall! And the bigger news … IT’S TWINS! I am due in November but it will be October when I have the babies. I will be 14 weeks this Friday, which means on to my second trimester! We find out the sexes in about 3 weeks, so stay tuned!

When grandma was here last month, we went to Monkey Jungle again! We were joined by the Davey family: mommy Lynda, Sam and Sara. Dad Tim was on his way home from a business trip. Sara is a month older than Jack. We had a great time!

1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish! March 5, 2009

Paige and Hailey had Dr. Seuss day at school recently. They are wearing the blue shirts because the kids all wear the same shirt once a week and are color-coded according to grade. They look so cute!

I know, I’ve gotten a bit behind! No excuses :)

Riley turned one on Valentine’s Day! I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by! I wish we could have been there to celebrate.

Riley turned one yesterday! A Valentine’s baby! We couldn’t be there to celebrate, but we were there in spirit. When I get pics of her on her birthday, I will post them! I can’t believe she’s one! The year flew by so quickly.

Jack’s Party in St. Louis January 16, 2009

Filed under: Family, Milestones, Photos — julescruise @ 1:56 pm

This past weekend we flew to St. Louis to celebrate Jack’s, Paige’s and Hailey’s birthdays. We had a party for Jack at the Transportation Museum. They have a room called Creation Station, and it was amazing! We could not have asked for a better party, and all of the kids loved it. It’s a large room with a lot of stations like dress up, cars, puzzles, kitchens, Thomas trains and tracks, etc. And there is a huge pirate ship that the kids can climb on and in. Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo of it!
