Proud Mother Moment

Haylee decided last August she wanted to be in dance.  We were a little skeptical about it at first being she was starting at a later age than the other dancers.  She was bound and determined to push herself and be a dancer.  & she sure proved Mom & Dad wrong.  She did an AWESOME job at her recital.  I am so proud of her.  I was a little hesitant right before her recital, she comes to me and says "Mom I think I may puke all over the stage."  Luckily, there was no puking or fainting. 

 Haylee in her ballet outfit-looking like a princess.

With her dance teacher.

 Had to share this picture, it was a long day for the little ballerina, she was tuckered out!!

 

I am so proud of my little girl, I teared up on her last performance, she looked so cute and little performing on stage in front of everyone.  That's My Girl-LOVE YA!!!

A Child's Prayer

I love to hear my children pray.  God listens to everyone's prayer even the little ones' prayers.

  Haylee's prayer tonight 

"Dear Heavenly Father, I am so thankful for all the happy things in my life, I pray that my brother Shae gets better so he can play with me, I pray that his fever will go away.  I love you God. Amen."  She is so sweet, love her Big prayer for her brother.  You know that they love each other when the other one is down and not feeling so Hot and they pray for them to be better!! Hope everyone is staying healthy and enjoying the beautiful spring weather!!! & praying my little man will be well soon to enjoy it himself :) 

Love, Jess

This is one of my favorite pictures of Shae, I don't take pictures of my kids when they are sick, I'd rather them see pictures of themselves when they are the most happiest!  Get feeling better Shae!

Card made by Haylee to Me

My little girl is always making cards 

and notes to everyone in the house

Well, everyone but her brother :( Poor Shae.  

She made Bob & I both cards today.

She brought mine into my room while I was

watching my statistics lectures,(which was dreadful).

Here is what the card said that brightened my day:

Me & my mom go shoping that is the Best part.

I lik go shoping at the mall.

I love going with my mom.

I love my mom she is the Best

Mom in the world.

My mom is realy good at school.

the end. 

Love Haylee

Well Haylee, I think I am the one that

has the Best girl in the world!!! She

is just the sweetest little girl I know. 

My Kids know How to Party

Today was just beautiful outside.  We had a great day spending time with the kids outside.  Bob grilled some chicken and the kids decided to dance on the back porch to the radio.  My kids are so much fun, I can't imagine not having them in our lives.  Love capturing moments like these to laugh about later!! 

Friday Night

So Bob has 1 rule in the house.  NO Dog in our bed.  He is pretty adamant about it too.  Its Friday night and Haylee stayed the night at a friend's house.  I finished up writing my paper so Bob & I are watching tv on the couch and where is my son?!?  I go to see what he is doing and find him cuddled up in our bed with Rex.  I am just laughing my butt off, cause I know how mad his dad would be to find Rex in our bed.  So here is a once in a life time picture of Rex in our bed.

Look at those Faces, how can you say "No" to that!!

Kids say the Darnest Things

Silly Things My Kids Have Said!!

So after hearing some funny remarks my silly kids said today, I decided I should start writing some of them down, so years later I can look back and Smile!!  Wish I would've started this a long time ago, but HEY better Now than Never Right!!

We had some Good Friends pop in to Visit today !! Their oldest daughter Sienna (11) and Haylee (8) were in a deep conversation about their parents.  Sienna states to Haylee, "If there was a game show that had a game about parents being sarcastic my parents would Totally WIn!!"  Haylee starts laughing and looks over at me and smiles "Well, my mom would never win that game she NEVER exercises!!"  We laughed so hard my daughter thinks being "sarcastic" means you exercise.  Plus she had to let everyone know that I NEVER exercise, Thanks for putting that out there Haylee!!

Then my clever little boy Shae.
Bob was getting up off the floor from helping Shae build his Halo cars and says "Boy I'm getting Too old for this!"  Shae looks at his dad and says "No Dad, you are getting AWESOME!!"  Ahhh, he is my sweet baby boy :)
Shae is really into dancing right now, so I had to share his latest Break Out Dance!! Last Friday it was really cold so we put on the kids 80's music and had a Dance OUt!!!
