Our Life

Well since June we have been busy! We are now full swing int to the school year! That means new activities for Phoebe and different schedule for us to follow. Our new schedule is Monday gymnastics and time with daddy . Tuesday is dance. Yes Phoebe is taking another year of dance and is loving it! We did change studios and this seems to be the best for both of us. Smaller class for Phoebe and during her class they now have a work out class for moms! YEAH! LOVE THAT!! Wednesday and Friday are now the new school days. She is loving it! Will post new school pictures soon! Thursday is out special play date day with her best boyfriend Skylar. If we didn't have that set they both would be so upset! They miss each other and ask about each other all the time! It too cute! Saturday is time at home and some times play dates with other friends we don't get to see during the week. Oh and Chris is still working at Simuflight and graduated this summer with his MBA. We are so proud of him! I started my own business making and selling hair flowers, and bows. I also can can custom makes any kinds on invitation or cards that you might need by digital design. You can find my business on Facebook. Its Doodle Design and Bows.

Oh almost forgot! My Phoebe is going to be in her first pageant coming up in December. She is doing natural pageants and so excited! Had her first practice and she was very good at it! I think that is it for not. I will get the pictures posted us here soon. We are busy but we like it that way!

Young and in LOVE

Yes Phoebe has a littl boy friend and they are pretty adorable together! We try to play with them atlease once a week. They ask for each other. Its so cute! Mr S has a huge cruch on her as you can see. Phoebe tells me that S is her favorite boyfriend. So glad that she has special friends to play with and that his mom is a great friend of mine to!

Birthday at school

Today was Phoebe's Birthday party at school. So likewise I came and brought my camera. She was so excited to share with specila day with her friends. They all seemed to enjoy the cupcakes like you can see.

Phoebe's 3rd Birthday

Phoebe had a great birthday party! 8 of her closest friends where able to come. We all had a very fun time. Her Grandma Cheryl was able to come for the big event. It was very exciting. Phoebe told me that it was her best party yet and asked when she gets another one.

It's been awhile!

OK so I haven't blogged in awhile! I am so sorry to those that are trying to catch up in our lives. Thing have been kinda busy. Phoebe is doing very well in school. She goes twice a week. Mondays she now takes dance. Its a combo class, tap ballet and some tumbling. She LOVES it!! Has her 1st recital this coming May. She is going to be adorable! Gymnastics is going well to. She is about to move up to the next level in two weeks! I am so proud of her! Phoebe is becoming quite the independent little girl. She is potty trained when it comes to pee pee but she still wont poo poo in the potty. She will go and put on a pull up herself to do that. I hope to break her of this during the summer.
As you can see we have a pretty active little girl! Its a busy life but we have a lot of fun! I get my free time when she is at school and if she naps at home. We are getting ready for Spring Break. Hoping for a fun and busy time cleaning up the house. I will post pictures when I get the chance. That's it for now!

Preschool Orientation

Phoebe had her Preschool Orientation Thursday Aug 27Th. She was so excited to go to her new school! She absolutely loves it there. Just had the chance to get the pictures up. It was a fun filled day. We started off in her class room where she was able to explore and play with some of the kids in her class. Chris and I talked to her Teach Ms Kelli about what she will be doing in school this year. Every month they change to a different shape, number and color and Bible story. Phoebe is also working on going to the potty.

She is getting better. Not there yet.

I was playing with a different technique with my program. I think it turned out pretty neat!

After being in her room they had some bounce houses set us outside. Phoebe had a BLAST! There were a ton of kinds but it didn't seem to bother her!

Family Photo Shoot

This past week we went and had family pictures taken so celebrate Phoebe going to preschool. She did so good! We all had fun! I know they aren't the best quality but I just had to share them.

This was one of my favorites of hers! So excited about the slide!

Road Trip Stage 1

Ok So I am a little late at getting these out. Better late then never!

We started out our road trip to Ohio at 4AM! Phoebe was a trouper! She slept really well in hte car and did not wake up untill it was time to get breakfast! It was GREAT!! It was awesome to see the sun set! Something we dont see everyday.

Just Phoebe!

Our little Phoebe is a talking storm! She comes up with things to say all the time! Its so cute to listen to her and try to understand what she is talking about. Lately with in the past couple of weeks she has developed some new phrases that I just had to share!

1. WAIT A MINUTE(or some times second)!
2. I DID IT MYSELF!
3. OOPSY DAISY!
4. IM OTAY(ok)!
5. MOMMY GOT YOU!
6. PHOEBE DO IT!
7. MY TURN MY TURN!

She has also grown more and more in dependant. She dresses her self, puts in the DVD by herself. though I try to catch her before she does so we don't end up with all the DVD with scratches on them. Phoebe is such a blessing to us. She is so smart and getting smarter everyday! I am so proud of her! She will be starting Preschool September 1st.

My little fairy

I made this fairy costume for Phoebe. After watching Dorthy have on a fairy costume she had to wear her to.

Dorthy the Dinosaur Hat

When we went to the Wiggly Play Land Event for July 4th, I won a hat for Phoebe to paint. Well we finally painted it. I got her some sponge paint brushes to make it easier for her and more fun. She had a great time. Phoebe ended up making this her Dorthy the Dinosaur Hat. I guess with all the spots of green and yellow it does kind of look like her. She is very proud of her hat! Too cute!!

Getting Ready for Preschool

On July 10th we took Phoebe to Gymboree to pick out her backpack and lunch box for Preschool. She was so excited! It was too cute! I told her to get the one that she wanted and she said, "This one mommy Panda Bear!" I couldn't resist! Fits her perfectly! After we went to Gymboree we took her to McDonald's for lunch and of course we had to take both in with us. Phoebe asked to to open up her lunch box and she put her chicken nuggets inside so she could eat out of it. She was super proud of herself. She was more than willing to pose for these pictures at home. I ended up having to hide her backpack and lunch box in my room so they would stay nice for her first day of school. She asked me the next day mommy where is panda backpack and my lunch box? I told her they went night night. Now she hasn't even mentioned it. She will be surprised once again when school starts. I am going to try to find somewhere that can monogram her name on both.

Summer water fun

We finally pulled out Phoebe's splash pool that she got last year for her birthday. She had so much fun! We played in the water while daddy was finishing mowing the other half of the lawn. I think she liked her pool even better this year. Phoebe loves getting wet any way that she can. Such a water baby!
