My New Hair!

Stinky Surprise!

This morning Lliam told me he was stinky and that he wanted to go potty on the toilet. he's not potty trained yet, but i figured I can clean his bum and then sit him on the toilet and try it out. Once we got into the bathroom, i realized his diaper was clean...so i put him on the toilet and he POOPED! Maybe potty training will be easy with this one too! One can only hope!

The Graduate!

I'm sure you all know by now that Jed has graduated, but I wanted to post some fun pictures of the much welcomed event!

Reid and Lliam willingly sported the school's mascot on their cheeks. They didn't touch them at all and they stayed on all weekend! Finally Saturday night I made Jed clean them off (I was giving a lesson in Reid's Sunbeam class on coming to church looking clean and being reverent...rubbing alcohol works miracles!)


The Happy Family!

The Proud Parents!

The Study Group!

Congratulations Babe!
We're so proud of you!

The Transformation!

Jed is shadowing tomorrow and needed to look professional, plus we need to take a picture of him to send to all of the dental schools we are applying to...so it was time for the beard to come off!!! If you continue along, we will take you through the transformation!



THE BEARD!
THE GOATEE PLUS MUSTACHE!
THE HANDLEBARS!
WHAT?! YOU WANTED TO SEE THAT AGAIN!? ENJOY!
THE FINAL CUT (plus haircut!)
I made him take a happy picture too!
He really likes the beard but i'm not too fond of it. However, I do like the goatee without the mustache, so he'll be growing that out (hopefully by the time we need to take the pictures for the schools). He also threatens to grow it all back and then shave it when he gets his first interview! What do you think he should do? Leave your answer on the comments or on the poll to the right!

Bragging Rights and Rattle Snake

I again have bragging rights because I know Jed wouldn't do this himself...but he got another 4.0 this semester! AND according to a reliable source he was the ONLY ONE in his Medical Microbiology class (there were 7 students and he was the only one without prior experience in microbiology) to get an A! Way to go babe!

Also, our landlord found a baby rattlesnake in the yard and Jed killed it...now it's in our fridge (finally done withering around) and waiting to be eaten...by Jed (I'm not touching that thing!)

Preschool Name Poll

I've put together some names for my preschool and just wanted to throw them out and see which one is your favorite. I've moved words around so there are some that are similar. Feel free to check as many as you want and also suggest any others.

Jed's Graduating!!!

Jed graduates today! We are so excited...now comes the hard part...getting into dental school...wish us luck!

I'm In Trouble!

(Notice what his shirt says!)
I thought I smelled Permanent ink! This is what I found. Luckily he only drew on 2 covers of DVDs and himself! Babywipes work wonderfully! It took most of it off!
(Don't forget my previous post, I'd still like some suggestions.
Even if they are just good words to use!)

I Need Help!

Some of you may know that my dream is to have a preschool of my own. I'm actually hoping to be able to do it when we move to wherever we will be moving to (where ever will accept Jed for dental school). Right now I am doing a 'little' preschool with Lliam and Nolan and will do more with Reid and possibly Sara during the summer. I want to start a blog that explains everything I do and the progress they are making.
I'm starting this blog for 2 reasons; 1 is to give other people ideas of what they can do to work with their kids, especially since I'm working with a wide range of ages (2-6). Also, to give my future parents something to check-out so they know what work I do and how much I love it.

However, before I start my blog I want to come up with a name for my Preschool. Something I don't have to change when I move. I absolutely LOVE the name 'The Learning Tree', however after googling it, I came across other companies with that same name. And the Learning Treehouse is definitely out because there is a preschool in the louiville area with it. So i wanted some suggestions from you! What name do you like for a preschool? (And no Jed, I'm not naming it Boogers and ABC's)

Thanks for you help!

Easter!

So, I know I'm a couple weeks off but i finally am able to post about Easter! Unfortunately I didn't get a pix of the boys in their Easter clothes, but I took plenty of others.



We didn't dye eggs until that day because I wanted Jed to be a part of it. Lliam and Reid loved dipping the eggs in the dye.


Jed had a good excuse to pull out his heat gun. He melted the plastic wrap to the eggs.


Then we played the 'Crack Game' (what Reid calls it!)


Our Yummy dinner!

And then we went on an Easter Egg hunt with the Larsen's! Each child had a different color to find and each child was able to find 12 eggs! That way they all got the same amount!

OK! is all we can say!

Lliam's new thing is to put ANYTHING on top of his head and say, 'I SANTA!'

Reid's new thing is to be like Steve Austin (6 million dollar man...don't know it...google it). He'll tell me he's Steve, pushes 'buttons' on his arm and takes off!

i love these boys!

Quick Trip

We spontaneously decided to head on down to St. George last weekend. Jed needed a little break before his finals started (even though he was studying whenever we weren't busy). We stayed at Celeste's house and the kids played as hard as they could for as long as they could, it was great seeing them again!
(Thanx for letting us crash at your place!)
We were able to visit with my grandma and had so much fun! It was so good to see her again.

Reid and Grandma having a light saber war!

The main reason was to see the Colton's and attend the reception for Amy Colton. Congratulations Guys!
