Swimming Lessons and St. Patrick's Day

March 14th: I was going to pick Addie up from Preschool and drop JoJo off....I look at the back of my van to see this guy! Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!


JoJo and Addie have been doing Swimming lesson this winter. They have really enjoyed it and have improved so much. JoJo has enjoyed just being in the water for awhile. He even blows bubbles and has tried to keep his head in the water. And Addie has been able to put her face in the water for a few seconds and try to swim. She has become brave and jumped in the water all by herself. She glows!





We went to see Captain Marvel in the theater with the kids. We absolutely loved it! Addie wants to be Captain Marvel A.K.A. Carol Danvers when she grows up.




We loved the part when the cat turns out to be a Flerkan...another alien. Looked just like our cat Parker.



We found some rocks and painted them to hide at the movie theater. The kids LOVED painting them. It's something that we have come across on our walks. So we wanted to add tot he joy for others.


St. Patricks Day! The luck of the Irish be with this lass and laddy! They were so excited about capturing a leprechaun. They have been learning about them in preschool. So we left our trap....and came back empty handed. But Liam the Leprechaun left us some gold, quarters, bubbles, treats, and rainbow pens. Yes, they are lucky! These are also some crafts they have done in preschool, so cute!






JoJo said to me "Addie can have my orange one (bubbles) because hers is broken. And I love her...." Melt my heart! They love eachother.



JoJo's first real drawing. I believe it's his hand and some rainbows. So cute.



Addie lost her second toother March 29th. She was so ecited to have her daddy see it (he missed the last one because he worked and then she lost it down the drain...) But I'm going to take the credit for pulling both teeth! They take weeks to come out.


March 22nd, I cute my hair. I am planning on donating it to children with hairloss. It was feeling thin and I needed the change.


 My little artists: Addie drew Rapunzel with her "long crazy hair"


And JoJo is starting to draw people. I refer to them as potato people because they just have a big head, and the stick arms and legs. I love when they start to draw things they see. I remember when Addie drew these potato people. Love my kiddos.


April 3rd: I woke up to this cute scene: "Mom! We're having a picnic!"





April 3rd Addie learned how to ride a big bike all by herself with no training wheels!! She has been on a balance bike since Christmas of 2017. We bought her a bike with training wheels to allow her to adjust to pedals. Then 2 days later we took them off and BAM! She got it, over the bumps and everything. She is amazing to me. And JoJo is still doing well on his balance bike. His confidence with it has grown a lot this year as he matures.





I had a bad day and was in a bad mood....bless these kiddos! I told them to give mommy a break....that she is tired and having a bad day. And they brought these to me. So sweet!

JoJo's 4th Birthday

This handsome sweet boy, JoJo Bean, turned 4 today! He is kind, a snuggler, well mannered, loves to tear things apart to see how they work, superhero loving, energetic boy. JoJo, we're so grateful to have you in our family! We sure love you. and he was very excited to celebrate this long awaited day. He chose to have a dinosaur theme, and wanted everything green (his favorite color).

Grandpa Gary, Grandma Sally, and Uncle Phil came to celebrate with us. We had his party on Sunday so that we could have those we love present. We had deviled eggs, homemade pico de gallo with chips, peanuts, and cake. Some of JoJo's favorite things.

Gifts that he received:
Grandma and Grandpa Hebdon: a Car's and Toy Story books and some money (he loves to read them before bedtime).
Grandma Sally and Uncle Phil: BumbleBee Transformer toy.
Grandpa Gary: Elastic Band Gun (He loves guns since Christmas).
Addie: Paw Patrol Toys
Mom and Dad: Car's tool shop bench and tools with a McQueen car, Mario PJ's, Pants, shirt and tie.

We took green dinosaur cupcakes to his primary class, he was very excited to share! And then Tuesday he was able to go to preschool and brought green dinosaur cupcakes for his class. On his birthday we decided to go to the movies to celebrate. And we went to see BumbleBee Transformer Movie. The kids loved it and enjoyed the transformers changing into cars and helicopters.




















These are JoJo's birthday cupcakes for his preschool.



I made these Dinosaur tails a few days after his birthday. I was planning on having them for his birthday but life got busy. Aren't they cute?





Happy Birthday my handsome boy!! We sure love you and are grateful you're in our lives!
