The Connor in the Hat

When I picked Connor up from school today he came out with this adorable hat!  I asked him if he had fun today and he said "Yes mom, you don't always have to ask that!"  Well obviously not because he always tells me had fun!  He has learned so much and has gained so much independence.  I love preschool!!!

The Tooth Fairy visits again

Last night Macie lost tooth #3!! She has been working on it for about a week and she was so excited when her daddy helped her pull it out!! She was excited this morning when the tooth fairy had left her a gold coin!

3 Months Old....

I cannot believe how time flies! Mckenna is 3 months old today! She has been such a joy to our family. She has brought such a sweet spirit and so much love into our home. She loves to be read to and talked to. She smiles and coos like crazy. She is very very drooly. She has been sleeping anywhere from 6 to 10 hours at night! She is a great baby and has the sweetest little personality. I love you my sweet little Mckenna!!!

~This and That~

Macie has become a fantastic reader! She is so so smart. She can practically pick up any book and read it with no problems. If she comes to a word she doesn't know she sounds it out and 95% of the time she figures it out on her own! I am so proud of her. She loves to read and Mckenna loves to hear her read. When Macie reads to Mckenna she listens and then soon starts to coo and smile. She loves being read to! Looks like I have another book lover on my hands!!

My little Connor has such a great imagination. I was feeding the baby when he came in with a stack of cups. He started setting them up and then got a little rubber ball and rolled it at the cups. I asked what he was doing and he said bowling mom! These cups are my pins. He played this for quite a while the other morning. He is so good to play things on his own and is always doing something exciting whether it be the lone ranger, Green Bay football, or hunting. He is always busy!!

Last but not least my sweet little Mckenna. She is such a good baby. She really isn't a big cryer or very fussy at all. She has been doing the greatest thing for a couple weeks now. She has been sleeping 6, 7, even 8 hours at night!!! I LOVE it! Of course I wake up every few hours to check on her because I am a nervous mommy! But the downside is she hasn't been taking great naps during the day. She is a cat napper. But I am loving the all night thing. She wakes up super happy with her big gummy smile! She is such a sweet baby!

So all in all I am just bragging about my kids! I am the luckiest mommy in the world to 3 beautiful, smart, sweet, fun kids!

Lets make a dough man!!!

Today I decided to make some bread. The most important thing I learned about baking bread came from my grandma Bond....always save dough to make a dough man! I remember doing this as a little girl at her house and I loved it! Macie and Connor enjoy it too! This is them getting ready to go in the oven.

And here is the finished baked product! Yummy!!!

My Lone Ranger

Connor is obsessed with the old Lone Ranger tv show. He watches the show (in black and white). When the Lone Ranger gets on his horse, Connor gets on his horse. When the Lone Ranger shoots his gun, Connor shoots his gun! It is so cute and he loves to play this several times a day!

And so it begins.....

Dressing up the innocent little baby.....! Macie wanted to play fairy princesses with Mckenna and this is what I was called in to see! It is pretty dang adorable! Connor then decided to dress up as Buzz Lightyear. My 3 cute kiddos playing dressups together.....it doesn't get better than this!!
