Things are finally starting to settle down around here. We have been super busy this month. Last weekend, we took a trip to Roseville to go shopping. We had so much fun. Jaron and Jenna got some really cute new clothes for fall and winter. We found them cute outfits at Pumpkin Patch Kids and another store called Peek...aren't you curious. They are both pretty pricey for kids clothes but we found some good deals. Jacob and I found our new obsession. It is called Teavana . They sell all things tea related. We bought some delicious red tea and a chai tea. We can't wait to try more flavors. Sunday, we went to Ikea. We found some pretty good deals there, too.

Jenna has been back in dance class for the last few weeks. Parents are not allowed to sit in the dance studio. So it will be hard for me to get pictures and videos. Luckily, last Thursday, I was able to get some ok video. She is doing a great job and really getting serious about her dancing. She like to come home and practice.

Jaron's Birthday

Jaron's 6th birthday was on Monday. I worked in his classroom all day. We took cookies in and the kids sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Jacob came in at the end of the school day, to be there, too. We came home and started his special birthday dinner. He chose to have bbq'd hamburgers. We also made baked beans and summer salad. While the beans were cooking, my parents came over to babysit Jaron and Jenna while we went to Jaron's parent-teacher conference. It went really well. Jaron is doing an amazing job in school. He started reading chapter books this week and is totally enjoying them! Jacob and I got home and we had dinner. It was delicious!
After dinner, he opened his presents. Jacob and I got him some GIJoe toys. My parents, Nana and Papa, got him a lot of different Lego sets. They are the Space Police sets and a couple of the Bionicle ones. We are going to be putting Lego's together for months!


After presents, Nana and Papa had to go home. We did ice cream sundaes for dessert. We were all pretty wiped out after that and we had an early bed time. Jaron had a great day. I still can't believe he is 6 years old. Oh my goodness!

Jaron's 6th Birthday Party

Last night we had Jaron's 6th Birthday party at G-Force Gymnastics. It was a lot of fun. The kids got to jump on trampoline's, play in a big foam pit, and play on all the other gymnastic equipment. We ordered a gigantic pizza from Luigi's. It was pretty good. We also had a delicious cake.

On our way to the party, Jaron's top tooth finally came out. He was working really hard to get it out. He looks so cute missing that top tooth.

When we got home, Jacob and Jaron started playing with the new toys and putting them together. That is how we are spending today, too.

Tomorrow is Jaron's actual Birthday. I am going to work in his class all day and take in cookies. Then, Nana and Papa are going to come down and watch the kids while Jacob and I go to Jaron's parent teacher conference. When we get back home, I am going to bbq hamburgers, at Jaron's request. For dessert, we are going to have ice cream sundaes.
