School days and fun with cousins

Last Thursday, Jake had his first day of mommy and me preschool. It is a once week program where you attend with them. I was a little nervous because we have never really taken a structured class before and I didn't know how he would react. He LOVED it! He learned how to say school, play with play dough, he made a craft, met some new friends and "sat" for story time and songs. After each song he said,"YAY!" I loved it too. The teachers were so sweet and I like being in a school again. The other moms were really nice and I think it will be great for both of us! I also included some pictures and funny video of Jake with Jack.

This is Jack and Jake's new thing. Jack pushes the button for Jake and then
they dance to the music. When Jack stops we hear," more... more!"

Jake loves to roll. We were at a party recently and Jake had a hot dog roll. Someone walked by and said," do you have a roll?" Jake immediately got into position and began rolling. So funny.

3 Years with My Hubbs!!!

This past week marked our third wedding anniversary. I know 3 years big whoop... it is to me. I feel so lucky to be married to Jon. I believe he is the man God made for me in sooo many ways. We have accomplished a lot these past three years and really grown as a couple. He has been there for me through thick and thin. He even puts up with my soda addiction... hehe. I can't imagine my life without him and I am thankful each day for all he does for me and our little family. Jon is an honest, dependable, hard working, strong and secretly sweet man. I look forward to many more years with my cute hubbs.

On Saturday we celebrated our anniversary by taking a trip to AC. Along with some of Jon's co-workers and thanks to Don, we had a private show with the band Yesterday. They are a Beatles cover band and nothing short of amazing. Jon is not a music lover like me, but he likes the Beatles. We had such a great time singing together. Yes, Jon sings... when he is super happy and comfortable. It was so fun sitting next to him and singing some of my all time favorite songs. After the show, we headed home for dinner with some of the bestest, Jess and Mike. We also had a baby free night thanks to Uncle Rick and Aunt Janet! I love how they are always mad when we pick him up! He is so loved.


Does anyone else find this speed limit funny?

Fall already??

The weather this week has been my absolute favorite. However, I will miss summer for all the fun times it brings. This has been the fastest summer of my life. I guess I am getting old! Here are a few things I will miss...
- Being in the pool
- Going to the beach
- Copius amounts of scrabble and Bradley's chicken cheesesteaks
- The occasion ice cream stop
- Wearing skirts and comfy cover ups
- Watching Jon and Jake cut the lawn together
- Bubbles and sidewalk chalk (big hits over here)
- eating outside in the screened in porch
- BBQ's
- and we will definitely miss being outside 24/7.

A few things I am VERY much looking forward to:
- Wearing jeans
- Wearing uggs and my ugly but comfy clogs
- Picking apples and decorating pumpkins
- Apple crisp
- Chili nights and soup
- Decorating for fall
- Going to school with Jake once a week
- The leaves changing
- Wearing a sweatshirt and taking chilly walks in the morning

I sometimes say that I would love to live somewhere that is 75 degrees permanently. The truth is, I would really miss the seasons changing. I love it!
