Look, SNOW on our Mountain

This is what our mountain looked like the other day after it snowed. We even ended up with a skiff on the ground at our house. It was very pretty especially with the red autamn leaves below the snow. Ellie begged us to take them up to the top of the mountain so her and her brother could make a snowman. We assured her that in a month or so she could make several on our front lawn. She is hoping that she will be able to make a snowman and dress him up for halloween. (that may be too much snow a little to soon for my liking.) :)

Hello, Hello, can you hear me?

Big smile for mommy while talking to McQueen.

Hollering to sissy, (PHONES for you) it's Queen.

Jake loves talking on his Lightning McQueen phone. He will say over and over again (hello, hello, can you here me? KACHOW.... He is a lover of anything to do with CARS. (my only hope is that he outgrows this love before the stores outgrow their love). :}

BEST BUDDIES

Best of Buddies, Best of Friends. These two are most content when in each others company. They may annoy each other once in a while, but for the most part they are happiest together. How happy I am that they get along so well. :)

It was Raining, now it's SNOWING...

When we went to bed last night it was raining quite hard and the kids were a little bumbed cause that meant no bike ride this morning. But, when we woke up this morning to find that it was snowing, both frowns turned into big huge smiles. Jake was all for heading out in the cold and trying to catch snow flakes on his tongue. And, he wasn't about to let a little wet snow stop him from playing on his trike.

~Jake Going To School~

These first two pictures of Jake are of his very first day of school which just happened to be the day after he turned 3. I think he was pretty excited about going on the bus, me on the other hand, I was a very teary eyed momma. I look at these pictures and am amazed that he looks so much older just six months later. It is so amazing yet really quite sad how fast kids grow up. I often catch myself wishing that both kids could stay the age they are today.



These next two pictures are of Jake this year in school. He looks like such a big boy even though he is still only 3.






Jake absolutely loves school. He loves the bus ride to school where they sing songs. He loves being at school and learning, playing with his friends, and especially snack time. :) He loves talking about the things he learnedat school, from shapes to numbers, to songs. I am very glad he enjoys school as much as he does, because it would make it very difficult if he cried everytime he had to get on the bus and go to school.

Ellie is to, to funny...

K, I am up cause my boy is up so I thought I would tell a funny real quick. Ellie was doing something a bit knotty, and I watched her do it. Well I then came into where her and Jake were playing and asked her if she had done what I had watched her do. She assured me she had not, and I said (remember young lady I have eyes on the back of my head, and I can see everything you and your brother do). Well a little while later I was sitting in the rocker rockin' Jake and she came over and started to rub the back of my head, and then pulled my head forward and made this rather annoyed grumbling sound and then said MOM, you do not have eyes on the back of your head... I said ya I do, and she said WELL, I can't feel them anywhere... I told her, well I put them to bed cause they were tired, and she said OOHHHH, and then left it at that... :)

Ellies turn for Pictures

Hi all, today after school Ellie asked me if I would take some pictures of her to put on this page like I did for Jake a while back. Of course I said yes, since I jump at the chance to take pictures of the kids. I thought they turned out pretty cute, Ellie on the other hand thinks she needs to join a beauty contest, (she is sure she would win) :) She has already decided on the picture she wants to have hanging on the wall. (It's the close up one of her, this one is her very favorite).

My plan is to start puting picutes on more often of the kids, (even if they have dirty faces). :)
