Follow the leader....

Aidan had his leader day at school on Friday!! When it is your day to bring snack for class it is considered your leader day, Friday was Aidan's and he just had to bring oreo cakesters for everyone!! MESSY!!!! Imagine 19, 3 & 4 year olds eating 2 cakesters a piece.....I kept apologizing to the teacher cause there was little cake crumbs all over the floor!!

Anyway, I got to stay and see how Aidan acts in class. He really is such a good listener, I asked if it was because I was there and she said no he is good all the time, so that made me feel good!! And trust me there are some not so good listeners in his class!!

During class Aidan got to hold the flag for the pledge of allegiance, pick the songs they sang, lead the line to the bathroom, pick numbers out of the number bag when they counted, add the new day to the calender and pass out snack!! He was a busy guy!! It is so cute hearing 3 & 4 year olds say the pledge and sing Jesus loves me!! Before they start class they have playtime for about 25 minutes, this is the time they can get into anything they want, Aidan decided to play dress-up with the girls, haha, and this is what he wore.....

It was also his turn to do the 5 senses bucket...each day the teacher picks 3 students to give a bucket to and they have to bring it home and pick something that they can feel, see, hear, taste, or smell, to take back to school the next time. Aidan chose something you could hear...cymbals, definitely something that makes alot of noise!!!! I also got to meet Aidan's little girlfriend...she is so cute!! He talks about her all the time and she is the first person he looks for when he walks into the classroom!!

I had a lot of fun watching Aidan interact with his classmates, and left with the biggest headache ever, after listening to 3&4 years scream and play for 3 hours I guess that is expected! HAHA

St. Patrick's Day!!

What a fun day!! We love St. Patrick's Day....maybe cause Jared's Irish or maybe cause we like to drink....HAHAHA!!!

Well we started the day off with the Belleville St. Patrick's day parade! It was such a wonderful day for a parade!! Jared is joing the Shriner's and the Ainad Highlander's marching band along with his brother, Joss and now his dad...it's a family affair! Anyway, Jared and Joss marched in the parade...Jared's first time marching, he didn't do too bad!! I went with my brother Justin, Aidan & Kaylee, and Lampard, Justin's dog!! Jordan was sick, poor guy!! He was really bummed he had to miss the parade, I think it was mainly getting candy from the parade, but I still felt bad for him!! We all met up with Jared's parents, Joss & Sarah, and the rest of the band! After the parade, we went bar hopping.....woohoo, that's always fun! The guys went around to a couple of place and played there tunes for all the St. Patrick's day goers!!

Next was our St. Patrick's Day party/Game Night.....which might just have to be an annual thing now!!! We had a blast!!! There were 6 or 7 couples that came over for a night of fun!! We had everyone come in there green attire and bring a green side dish. There was so much yummy food! We even had a prize for the person that wore the most green!! The games were a blast....Pictionary & the Newlywed Game.....Hilarious!!!! We got everyone to participate, even Derrick!! HAHAHA Thanks everyone for such a great time & great pics!! We will definitely have to do this again soon!!

Married with 2 kids...and a Big Red Truck!!!

I haven't updated this in a while, Jordan of course had something very intelligent to say while we were driving a couple of weeks ago.....

We are driving down the road and Jordan says to me...Mom when I grow up I am going to drive, I am gonna buy me a Big Red Truck to drive, but not red like uncle Jossy's truck...bright red he says. I was like that will be so cool Jordan, he continues on to tell me yes and I am going to live far, far away from you and dad :( that made me sad, but I am smarter than that so I asked him do you think grandma & grandpa live far away....he said yea they live really far away in Glen Carbon...a 20 minute drive from us now, so in my head I am thinking not too far away buddy!! Well that's not it he continues to say....and I am going to be married like you and daddy and me & my wife are gonna have 2 kids and there names are gonna be Jordan & Jordan!!! HAHAHAHA! So Funny!

I couldn't resist writing this one!!

Trying something new!!

I have always been into taking pictures, but here recently I am getting into editing them. It's alot of fun to do different things to pictures. My favorite is to do black & white, don't know why just is. When spring comes and the flowers start blooming I want to start taking pictures of different flowers & possibly display some in the house!! Here are a couple of the kids I have done!!
