This year, I was delighted to be back home in Louisiana so I could host a Mother's Day Brunch. I got the idea from pinterest last year and it finally came to pass. I got the printables from <a href="http://amandaparkerandfamily.blogspot.com/2012/04/mothers-day-freebie.html">Amanda's Parties to Go</a> My parents opened up their house to us and let me plan away. I thought it would be easier to have everyone at mom's house instead of everyone driving down to see us. My aunts were there, and my sister-in-law, and grandmother. We all had a fabulous time!</div>

Still playing catch up with the holidays...I actually have fast internet for a few days so I'm taking advantage of uploading pictures quickly. Theo was away with work this Easter so it was just me and the kids. I ended up volunteering to teach Sunday School since we couldn't spend Easter as a family anyway. Our church had a lunch and Easter egg hunt after the service which was a lot of fun. It has been quite a change going from a church of several THOUSAND people to one with 50 people tops :) But I am trusting God is using me there.</div>

Wow, I have been really far behind in the blog arena. I blame it partially on spilling hot coffee on my laptop back in February and not having one for a few weeks. When I finally did get a new one, I couldn't install my camera software on it to upload pictures....until today! So, I am playing catch-up now. I plan on blogging more regularly with Theo's upcoming "trip" as this will be a good way for him to see photos of the kids since he is very anti-facebook!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas this year was nice. We had a low key Christmas with just the five of us. We had celebrated Christmas with my family a few days prior but I haven't figured out where those pictures are yet...so these are from our little family on Christmas morning. I love seeing how excited the kids are. We are so blessed to be able to provide for our kids (even though it does seem a bit overboard!). We have lots of extended family who love our kids as well and love to do for them.</div>

Better late than never, right? Since I (at least for the moment) have started to blog again, I wanted to include a post about Carter's sixth birthday party.....even if it was almost 3 months ago! Again, I must say I was depending on pinterest for some cute birthday party ideas. As usual, pinterest did not disappoint. The pictures I took from the party don't quite capture how cute, yet simple it all was. But I wanted to share them neverthless.</div>

I had juice boxes set up to look like a tower, put cardstock on my cannisters to make them look like "buildings"and ordered a digital paper pack off of etsy for some added touches (and what I used to make the invites)</div>

I scored some super on sale superhero pens from Michaels earlier in the summer. I used those, along with super hero fruit snacks as party favors for the boys and since there were alot of girls at the party, I got some princess puzzles too. But the highlight of the party favors was my mom sewed 20 super hero capes, complete with frills and lace for the girls! What a great mom I have!!</div>

For food, I served the usual party food....corndogs, and other snacks I can't remember since it was three months ago :) I made chocolate cupcakes with homemade frosting and put red, white, blue sprinkles on top. I am not Martha Stewart when it comes to cupcake/cake decorating so these were so easy!</div>

Wow, I know it's been literally months since I've blogged but I thought I should at least blog about our Thanksgiving. It was low key but nice. My dad was able to come up from south Louisiana and spend Thanksgiving with us for the first time ever. The kids were so excited to spend the day with grandpa! We had invited some of our friends but they had a sick child and weren't able to make it. We cooked a feast, as usual! Theo's momma raised him right. That man sure knows how to cook a turkey :)</div>

I of course went a little overboard with all the pinterest idea. Keep in mind, we were expecting another family with kids to come...otherwise, I might not have gone to all the trouble. But it made me feel good to do some cute stuff for our kids.</div>

The funniest moment of the party was when Olivia opened her present from Aunt Laney. Aunt Laney did a great job with Livie's presents (CG giant puzzle and a memory game) but Olivia took the stuff out and exclaimed excitedly "It's bubble wrap!!" :) </div>

{Part One}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend, we celebrated Olivia's third birthday. Her actual birthday isn't until September 12th but this was the first year we wanted to have separate parties for her and Carter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyone who knows Olivia, knows she has an obsession, uh, I mean great love for all things Curious George. She has ever since she was a baby. So what better theme party to have than a CG one! Thank you pinterest for giving me all sorts of adorable party ideas!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course we had to go with a banana theme... serving banana pudding and banana chips :)</div>

This past weekend, we spent our weekend in Shreveport. Long story short, I wanted to have a surprise dinner for Theo with some of his closest friends. It ended up not being a surprise after all but we still had an awesome time nonetheless. It was so good to see some friends I haven't seen in three years!! Best part is...we got to out to dinner without our kids! Love having family close by!</div>

We had a great time! I was so glad everyone got to come and celebrate Theo. We are so blessed to have these friends, even after all these years. We've all been all over the place and all have come back to Louisiana. Unfortunately, Theo's best friend and his wife and moving to California this week but we've spent more time with them the past six weeks than we have the past six years! How awesome is that!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Friday, the 10th, was Carter's first day of first grade! This is his official photo. But the reality of it is, he probably felt more like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VX2c89zedhHZhs0JtyUyPnYhPkM0030NM_J3p3q2Pu4mYNKQ_Tot8i0YMM1fAX7NQHTquW6ISdoWVFdiS3DxQObNE9iuZDv0KO3nj2ahBRCNXWrx4MYJVWjG2EzydJpQ50AGtCQxJfE/s1600/IMG_0144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VX2c89zedhHZhs0JtyUyPnYhPkM0030NM_J3p3q2Pu4mYNKQ_Tot8i0YMM1fAX7NQHTquW6ISdoWVFdiS3DxQObNE9iuZDv0KO3nj2ahBRCNXWrx4MYJVWjG2EzydJpQ50AGtCQxJfE/s320/IMG_0144.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, I think I felt that way too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was an interesting day. I didn't know quite what to do with myself....until I realized I still had Olivia and Isaiah home with me. Then I snapped myself back into reality. We ended up going to a work picnic for Theo. He's now the detachment commander down here so I guess that makes me the commander's wife. Lord knows I never thought I'd be one of those...but I digress. I missed having Carter around but will admit, it was nice just having two kids to chase around instead of three.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked him up at 3:10 (ok, confession, I thought school was out at 2:50 so let's just say I arrived very early for the carpool line!) He walked out and looked exhausted!! He told me in the car "Mom, I missed you a lot more than I did when I was in kindergarten. I love my teacher, but not as much as I love you) That sweet boy. After school, we went to Marble Slab for ice cream (and a jar of candy he knocked over all over the floor and we ended up having to buy. *sigh*) Carter was so excited about the ice cream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's done well his first week of school. I am pleasantly shocked to know his teacher leads them in a prayer before they eat lunch. And also, the local baptist church sent home a flyer for AWANAs. I love it!! Things certainly are different at this school. Some not good, some great. The snack policy is awesome and much less stringent than the we're-worried-we-might-get-sued-if-your-child-has-an-allergic-reaction school he attended last year :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then this morning, I was dropping him off, he leaned in the front seat, hugged me and started to cry. He was trying so hard to be a big boy as he's walking to his room but I could see him wiping the tears on his shirt. I don't know what was going on this morning. He says going to school seven hours a day is too long. And compared to the three hour school he had last year, I'm sure he's right. But he likes school, he's making friends, and fortunately really likes his teacher so I'm not sure what the tears were about this morning but it tore my heart up :( I'm praying he'll be his happy school-loving self when I go to pick him up. He has a sports physical today with our new pediatrician in preparing him to play soccer this fall. Can't wait!</div>

Last week was Theo's birthday. I think the kids were more excited than Theo was :) They just love celebrating anything! In lieu of my usual strawberry cake that three years running ended up a failure in the looks department (of course, I blamed it on the altitude), Theo wanted a cheesecake. That, I can do! I used a different recipe this time from my new Betty Crocker cookbook and it turned out delicious! See?</div>

We went out to dinner at Verona, which surprisingly, is a great Italian restaraunt here. They even had fried calamari (which I love) and even Isaiah ate it up. We call him the tank. That boy'll eat anything.</div>

Isaiah turned 18 months old yesterday! Hard to believe it. These past 18 months have been challenging but so incredibly amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. A lot has happened and we are rolling with the punches. The most important milestones for us is that Isaiah after 18 LOOOOONNNNGGG months is finally sleeping through the night! This coincided with his also finally giving up the bottle and our lives are so much more rested now :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isaiah, at 18 months old, you:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-eat nonstop. If Cater or Olivia get up and leave their food on the table, you go over and start eating off their plates. There isn't a whole lot you won't eat. You eat a LOT of vegetables (when I cook them). You love squash, green beans, cooked carrots, salad sometimes. sometimes asparagus. You truly eat all the time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-weight about 24 pounds and have been in 18-24 month clothes for a few months now. You are solid like a linebacker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-still take one long nap in the afternoon usually. Of course, I'm most excited about not waking up in the middle of the night every night. I had no idea what a good night's sleep felt like until two weeks ago :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-are getting pretty fiesty (we assume you are taking after your older siblings). Sometimes you walk around with your hand ready to smack something. You walk around something to karate chop. You love saying "Hi-ya!" like the karate kid. It's so funny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-are talking all the time and have a ton of words you say. You said "book" this morning and learning new words almost daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-love playing peek-a-boo and the infamous "I'm not gonna give you kisses" game, which I will blog about at another time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
-are generally pretty happy unless you are hungry or tired. You do have your moments and you are getting easily frustrated when you can't figure something out but overall, you are an easy baby and are so loving. You love giving kisses, hugs and "sweet eyes".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-have almost all of your teeth now. I'll be glad when this stage is over with :)</div>

-are getting into EVERYTHING. You have seriously stepped up your game since moving. You find markers and draw all over the walls (thank the Lord for Mr. Clean magic erasers) You put the t.v. remote in the toilet. You climb on all the furniture and it's not common for me to walk in the kitchen and find you standing in the middle of the table. Oh, the joys of parenthood....</div>

Isaiah, you are the joy of our lives. You are such a sweet little guy and we love you more and more each day. Happy 18 month old birthday Baby I!!</div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694377401460903037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869483824851605923.post-29724568158320383212012-07-31T07:28:00.004-07:002012-07-31T07:28:45.256-07:00Playin Catch upWow, what a whirlwind of a summer this has been! The biggest news as you all know is that we've moved. It was a crazy time, things haven't gone quite as we had planned, but we are hear, we are all healthy (except for one broken foot) and we are getting settled. We are all so happy to be back in Louisiana (okay, maybe not so much Theo but the kids and I are thrilled!) and back closer to family. It has made all the difference in the world!<br />
<br />
It was hard to say goodbye to our friends but they are moving too so either way, we would have had to say goodbye. But we sure miss them!!<br />

My parents were so helpful in getting this move done. My mom came up and helped me with the kids, and we drove two of our three cars down to Louisiana. It was a stressful time...with worrying about the fires threatening our town, to Theo being TDY, it was not an easy time. But thankfully, we have a great family who is always willing to help.<br />
<br />
Once we got to Louisiana, my dad came up and helped Theo with the receiving of our household goods. The kids and I stayed up at moms so I could keep the little "helpers" out of the movers way. Theo couldn't have done it all without my dad's help! While Theo spent 4th of July watching our stuff being unloaded, we had out 4th celebration the weekend prior and hung out at Aunt Vickie's house and had a great family time together! It was soooo good to see my brother, sister-in-law and neices and nephew.<br />

I wanted to make Carter's last day of kindergarten extra special. The weather changed most of my plans but we still managed to make Carter feel like the luckiest former kindergartener in the world :) I went to Dollar Tree and got him several summer inspired toys and put them in his crate he got for Christmas. I also made him a banner that said "Good bye Kindergarten! Hello First Grade!!" and put a picuture of his first and last day on kindergarten on it. He of course was more excited about the toys :) We also had a water balloon fight and let him eat lunch at McDonalds.<br />

School is officially out! But I wanted to post about some things I made for Carter's teacher for teacher appreciation week. After talking to my mom, my resident teacher expert, I opted to do cute little things Monday through Thursday and then a nicer gift for Friday. I forgot to take a picture everyday but the two I did were these: I baked cookies and made a tag that said "I'm one smart cookie because of you"</div>

Carter lost his first "official" tooth several days ago. It had been loose for a while and then as he was biting trying to get the top off of something, it flew out. It was funny because Theo was home for lunch and said "Carter be careful, you're going to make your tooth fall out" and as soon as he said that, Carter spit and there was his tooth! He was excited and traumatized at the same time. He wasn't prepared for it to bleed. He was saying "Mom, put it back in!! I want my tooth back!" But once the bleeding stopped, he was so excited. We literally tried to call almost everyone he knows and even wanted to go door to door down our street telling everyone :)</div>

The tooth fairy stayed up late that night trying to make it special for Carter. His tooth was so small that we had to put it in a ziplock bag. We later found a little tooth plastic container (I guess he got from the dentist when he lost his actual first tooth at 15 months old). We'll definitely have to use that next time!</div>

That night, Carter came into our room around 2 a.m. saying the tooth fairy hadn't come yet. In actuality, the tooth fairy was stumbling around in the dark and accidentally left the money inside the pillowcase instead of under the pillow :) Next time, she'll know better. But when he woke up, he was excited to find his surprises.</div>

I do have to make a comment about this photo. The space part was Carter's absolute favorite part. He didn't want to take that astronaut costume off. And who knew astronauts had capri pants? :)</div>

Friday, Olivia had her follow-up appointment at Children's in Denver. She receieve a clean bill of health, praise the Lord! So we decided to make a little weekend getaway out of it. We had a good time but it was challenging staying in a hotel with three kids. Let's just say, I might have brough Benadryl.....I will neither confirm nor deny that though. If only Isaiah could have had some....but I digress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday, we got to the hotel late on account of Denver traffic, so we ordered take-out and then (attempted) to get everyone to bed. This is the chaos that is otherwise known as our hotel room. You should have seen the stuff we brough for one overnight trip. One hasn't traveled until they have traveled with kids!!</div>

Saturday, Olivia and Isaiah were up bright and early (i.e. 6:30) so we all got our suits on and headed to the indoor pool. We had a blast! This was the first time since last summer that the kids have gotten to go swimming. They were waiting by the door for us!<br />

We swam for over an hour, got ready, and then had our left over dinner for lunch. We had originally planned on going to the Denver museum of science and nature and then the aquarium but only made it to the first place. We spend three hours there and the kids were ready to drive home:) Good thing about this museum is that is was free for active duty so this turned out to be a very inexpensive little trip!</div>

The first stop was the a play area for younger kids. They had all kinds of activities. Carter had the most fun building with the blocks, surprise, surprise! He also loved the globe and Livie loved the piano and dancing around.<br />

We aren't big gift givers anymore really so when he asked me what I wanted, I told him to feel special. Well, he certainly did. He even helped Carter make me paper flowers with pipe cleaner stems. Carter was so proud of himself! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel especially sentimental this mother's day although I can't say why for sure. But when I was talking to Carter this morning, I just had tears pouring down my face because I'm so thankful I get to be a mom. It is not easy. Most of the time it's very challenging but the rewards of motherhood are priceless and immeasureable. I can not imagine my life without my children. I'm incredibly blessed with the life we have and feel undeserving most times of the love that is poured out onto me from my husband and kids.</div>

I have a special place in my heart for each one of our children. They are all alike in so many ways yet so different. They have such strong little personalities and I love to watch them grow daily. I hope I can be the best mother for them I can possibly be. They deserve it. I am amazed by how much these little people love me. But then when I think about how much I love my own mom, it's not so surprising. That is what motherhood is. Having the child you created love you wholeheartedly and unconditionally and being able to return that love back to them. Wow, what an awesome privilege. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful every single day for my children. I want them to always know how much they mean to me, how much they have enriched my life, how I understand God's love more because of them. My hearts greatest desire is for them to have their own personal relationship with God, for them to seek him with all of their hearts, for them to know him in a real and personal way. I pray that I can model what that looks like to them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so blessed to have my own mom in my life. I would fall apart if it weren't from her. She often talks me back from the ledge of motherhood insanity and her ever-present listening ear makes my life so much easier. She loves in a phenomenal way. She loves my kids in a phenomenal way and I know they are aware of that. I love that we are so close and I can share anything with her. She helps me to be a better woman, wife, mother, friend. She's always in my corner but doesn't mind playing the devils advocate too. I am lucky to have been born her daughter. I love you mom!</div>

And of course, there is my husband. Without him, I wouldn't have these wonderful, fiesty, strong-willed children. I am honored I get to share my life with him, completely, unashamedly. We are a team. He makes motherhood bearable on the days it's hard because I know that no one else knows what I am going through like he does. We share the burdens, joys, pains, blissful moments of parenthood together. I couldn't do it without him. He is my rock, my best friend, my heart and soul. </div>

Happy Mother's Day!</div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694377401460903037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869483824851605923.post-50936770894466876522012-05-10T10:28:00.000-07:002012-05-10T10:32:24.190-07:0015 months!May 2nd, Isaiah turned 15 months old! It has been a wonderfully amazing 15 months and Theo and I are amazed at our youngest little guy every day. We honestly can't imagine not having him as part of our family. He just adds such joy and contentment in our lives.<br />
<br />
The biggest news is.....Isaiah is going to be a BIG..........walker!!! No, most definitely NOT a big brother but I can't resist pulling everyone's leg :). Isaiah started taking some steps on April 29th (Nana's birthday!) and by his 15 month birthday, he was walking everywhere. He is so funny to watch and he works on mastering his balance. He's so determined though. He falls down a lot and gets right back up. He is virtually walking all the time now but will still occassionally crawl. Now if we could only do away with bottles, he'd be a really big boy!<br />

He's wearing 24 month size tops, 18 month pants, size 4 shoe, size four diaper. He eats ANYTHING! He's saying momma, dadda (much more than momma), bubba, bye, ball, yeah. He talks all the time now. I thought he would be the most laid back of the three but that still remains to be seen. He will definitely make his opinion known, especially to his sister. He is into everything these days. I can't turn my back for a second. He opens all the cabinets, drawers, loves the dig around in the fridge and pantry. But he's the cutest thing ever!!! He wins peoples hearts wherever we go. He's certainly won ours! We love you big boy and can't wait to watch you grow up even more!!</div>

Wow, it's really been a month since I've been able to blog anything. Well, today is our 8 year wedding anniversary! Quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself. I am so incredibly blessed to have Theo as my husband. He is a wonderful man, amazing husband, and great father. He gets me like no one else does and I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else! I love you babe!! Here's to 62 more years :)<br />
<br />
So, what have we been up to? Well, we are trying to enjoy our last few weeks here in Colorado before heading back to Louisiana. Theo and I were able to squeeze in several dates while his parents were here for a month. One of them was to go bowling on base. We had THE best time. We laughed, we played around, we celebrated. It was amazing and a much needed break from the hectic everyday life of parents :)</div>

We were even able to sneak away for an overnight date downtown. We met our friends Amy and Jeff for dinner at a brewing company we had been wanting to try.<br />

Theo had gotten us a room at the Antlers Hilton and it did not disappoint! Theo really outdid himself. I am so proud of all the effort and planning he put into our first overnight date in almost two years. <br />
<br />
That Saturday, Theo, Pop Pops and Carter went to their first Sky Sox game of the year. I think the older fellas had a good time but I think the youngest one was a little too whiny :)<br />

Other than that, we have been trying to get out of the house, try new places to eat, spend lots of time outside, and try to keep from going crazy with this big move! But we couldn't be more excited about it and we are thrilled to be moving closer to home (at least home for me!)</div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694377401460903037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869483824851605923.post-23121038577615896422012-04-10T19:58:00.000-07:002012-04-10T19:58:33.575-07:00Egg Hunt<div style="text-align: center;">When we got home from church Sunday, I noticed there were no kids at the park across the street from our house. So I took advantage of that and had Theo go hide the eggs and let the kids find them. It was so fun to watch them. Olivia didn't know quite what to make of it and mainly found one or two eggs and ate the candy out of them.

Olivia got lots of little Dora and princess stuff (including a lip gloss watch in which she proceeded to rub the gloss all over her lips and body yesterday), and rainbow goldfish. Isaiah didn't get a whole lot. He got one little toy, yogurt melts and a book.
