Jace and Grandpa go on a Fieldtrip

Jace's preschool class was learning the letter P, so for their fieldtrip they went to the Post Office and Smoky Mountain Pizza. At the Post Office, Jace got to buy a stamp and mail a letter to Grandma Ann that he had written in school.




Then, at the pizza place they got to make their own personal pizzas. Jace isn't a huge pizza fan, but he was excited about being able to put "lots of pineapple and pepperoni" on his pizza. Yummy!

Finally!

They have finally made a cereal that is good for me and that tastes good! I love cereal, but usually end up eating kinds like Capn Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Pebbles, etc. because I have an extreme sweet tooth and can't seem to find a "healthy" cereal that I like. Until now....



This stuff really does taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and (BONUS!) it's 100% of the vitamins I need for the day. Thank you Total!

Mandi's Tag

1) Pick the last picture in your last folder, or 2) pick a picture that seems like an average picture but has some fun story about who it was taken by, or maybe there is just a funny story behind it.

I am choosing to do the second option of this tag because I have recently deleted all of my folders to see if it would make my computer run faster. It didn't, oh well. Anyway, this picture is classic Paityn. She has got the funniest personality I have ever seen, she is always doing something goofy. She loves to look pretty, but she also loves to try out whatever she can find, especially if it belongs to Jace.
The story inside this picture is the bandaids on her thumbs. She has sucked her thumbs so much that they have cracked from the cold weather and she has "owies". We have been trying to break her from sucking her thumbs, but she is a very stubborn little girl (no idea where she got that from, ha ha) and we have not succeeded. I'm not really worried about it yet, but Tim thinks it is time for her to stop. If any one has any suggestions, please let me know.

Boys Day Out

Tim and Jace's favorite thing to do together is take their 4-wheelers out to "The Dusty Place" as Jace calls it and ride for a while and then cook smokies on a fire. Jace has had his 4-wheeler for almost a year now (I know, that means he started riding when he was 3 1/2. Scary, huh.). He is actually getting pretty good, although it still scares me to death every time they go. Sometimes it is hard to tell if he is having fun because he always has such a serious look on his face while he is riding. I think it is because he is concentrating so hard because as you can see from the pictures, it looks like he is having a pretty good time.

My Birthday/New Year's Eve

Some of you know that New Year's Eve is my birthday. This year my sister and her husband were here so we got a babysitter (Thank you so much Ann!) and went out for the night with them and our friends Brandon and Susan. We had dinner at P.F. Changs, I had never been there before. It was great, the food was good and it was so nice to have adult conversation without children crawling under the table or throwing things. After dinner, we went across the street and listened to a band and rang in the new year. It was the first time in years that I have gone out without the kids for my birthday. Thanks Mandi and Susan for planning everything and making my birthday a lot of fun!
