Natalie's "Favorite" Week....

This past week was a very special week for our Natalie,

here are a couple snapshots of the "Stars" week....

 

Monday: Bring pictures of you & your family!

 

Tuesday: Bring your favorite stuffed animal!

 

 

Wednesday: Bring your favorite book to read to the class!

 

Thursday: Wear PJ Day!

 

 

*Special treat...Frannie had "STAR" balloons delivered to her whole class.

I was told they ALL loved them!*

Friday: Bring a special snack to share with the class...nothing like mini cupcakes, juice boxes & fruit roll-ups as a "MORNING" snack! 

 

 

What the "Star of the Week's" picture board looked like at school!

 

(Did you like it that the "stars" little sister got in a couple of the pictures....

only when she wanted too and I had to be quick, she is fast!

 

 

 

 

Weekend in Prairie....

This past weekend we ALL ventured to Prairie for some fun at Grandpa & Frannie's "other" house.  Saturday was a hang out/do whatever day, we actually headed out Friday after work and the Sents & Brouwer crew joined us on Saturday so when they arrived all the "cousins" wanted to do was PLAY!  We tried to go bowling in the afternoon but that didn't work so we hung out played, had some yummy chili and then Grandpa & Frannie watched ALL the kids while the BIG kids (Moms & Dads) went to a movie at the theatre.  This is the picture I received so it looks like they were all having fun together.

Sunday, Chris the chef made us all breakfast and the kids enjoyed a quick game of "Twister" before we packed up and headed home....

oh to be that flexible again! 

Another fun weekend we had...all together in one nice big house!

Star of the Week!

Guess who has a "special" week at daycare this week....

Yep this "special" girl.

Stay tuned to see what fun her week has in store for her!

January's Weather...

We are LOVING this January weather the last couple of days....

It's so fun to be breaking out some of the toys again!

Pool Party.....

Saturday night Natalie was invited to Hayden's Birthday Party at the UNI Wellness Center.  Hayden is a girl in Natalie's daycare class and I just realized I never got a picture of Natalie and the birthday girl, that was dumb.....but if it counts Hayden is the girl in the last post who was wearing matching Frozen pj's on Friday to daycare for the PJ/Teddy Bear Day/Parade.

 

Here are just a few snapshots of Natalie at the birthday party...

 

 

Ready to head out the door for the party!

 

Look at these 1 silly kids, Jameson - a boy in Natalie's class!

Poor Addi Girl had to sit and watch Natalie have fun!

 

Natalie was so brave and went down this slide

many times with Hayden's family members...Happy 4th Birthday Hayden!

 

 

Teddy Bear Parade/PJ Party

Today was "Teddy Bear Parade and PJ Party" and boy was it a fun day for these girls.....they were so excited they were both up at 5:00 am this morning!
