Birthday, Pizza, Fun, Walks, and Flooring - OH MY!

We have been busy having some Summer Fun. Last week Isabella turned 3. I just can't wrap my hands around our children being 3 and 5. Where does the time go? We put together and quick party for her, as we have been so busy, the planning just didn't happen. However, it turned out great. We met some of our friends during the week at a local pizza joint and the kids got to make their own pizza's while the moms got to enjoy a nice lunch. It was a lot of fun. Dad surprised us and showed up during his lunch hour to enjoy some pizza right along with us. You will notice the corsage pinned to her shirt.....dad brought that with him to surprise Isabella. She was so cute. You could not wipe that smile off her face. She new it was a special day and loved all the attention. After the party we went home for naps and while I was putting her down, she kept saying, 'mama, they all came to my party'.


THIS IS THE BEFORE:


HERE IS THE AFTER:


We have also been busy with our local annual Walk for Hope. It's a fun walk that is done each year, this year marking the 10th...and the walk helps raise money for International Orphanages. In the 10 years that this has been happening, our little community has raised over $100,000.00. This years theme was the Olympics and Isabella started the walk off carrying the touch.




Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This one is a secret. This is what we do while Jacob is at school. We play dress up. But we can't let him know how much fun we have or he will want to join us. Jacob started Kindergarten Summer School. He goes all day long and his favorite part is eating lunch at school. Each night we have to look at the calendar and see what his options are for the next day, then we talk about it all night long.


Last, but certainly not least.....by the days end we will have basement floors. Hip, hip, hooray!
