Pirate Party!

( I think if you click on this you can see it bigger!)

Micah's party was so much fun! We decided to do a pirate party because he loves going on treasure hunts. It worked out perfect because they had a ton of Pirate Party stuff at the dollar store... when the kids showed up we turned them into pirates with bandanas and eye patches! They all got swords that I had made out of water noodles, we played pin the treasure on the map, we went on a treasure hunt, and played sink the ship (the kids split into teams... drew pirate ships with chalk on the cement... and then we used black water balloons to "sink" the other teams ship!) it would have been really fun if the balloons actually popped... but they just bounced off the cement... so the kids stomped on them and it turned out to be pretty entertaining! :) We also painted pirate ships that I cut out of scrap wood! It was alot of fun... When we were done with the pirate stuff we played in the water! Micah came home and said, Thanks mom, that was the best party I have ever had!

My Baby is 5 YEARS OLD!

Where did time go? I swear it was yesterday that I was in the hospital awaiting our sweet little boys arrival, and now he is turning 5! I cannot believe how fast time flys!! I started making a slide show of his first 5 years last week and I cannot believe how much fun we have had with Micah in these past five years. He completely changed our lives and made us a family. I cannot imagine life without him.

I hear this song like everyday and it still brings tears to my eyes:
"you're gonna miss this,
you're gonna want this back,
you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast!"

Well if it was possible to rewind time I would... I miss the days of Micah being a little baby, tottling around the house, sucking on his pacifier (mimi). I miss taking naps with him on the coach... I remember when I thought he would never be big enough to feed himself or do anything without my help... and slowly he has become more independent than I want him to be. I still try to get him dressed... I still want to hold him like he is a baby... and it is then that I realize how fast time goes. (yes I am crying!) So I figure I am going to look back at his 5 year old pictures and wish I could go back to these days ... so for now I am trying to enjoy every second I have with my kids because I swear I am going to wake up tomorrow and he will be leaving on his mission.... ( and I already miss him!)

Our Little cone head ... poor baby!

Thank goodness it went away in a few hours... I didn't know if I could make him wear a beanie in the 100 degree weather.

First Birthday Party!

TWO!

and Three...Oh boy he's FOUR!

and Now 5!!!(thanks Tennille for the family Pix!)

Micah, dad and I are so proud of the boy you have become! You are a wonderful big brother and a good example to your friends. I am proud to be your mom! We love you!

Hyde Update

Micah got done with preschool a few weeks ago! These are his cute teachers! Ms. Julie and Grandma Smith. He is in love with his teachers, he begged on the last day of school to sign him up for Summer School so I did!.... He only goes two weeks in June and two weeks in July so it will be nice to keep him busy!
This is the cute little sign I made for his teachers thank you gift! I thought it turned out cute!

So the other day Micah was sitting... we were watching tv... and the next thing I knew I heard this snipping sound... I look over and he was just cutting his hair... I don't think he knew what he was doing... but he was rubbing his head with the scissors and next thing he knew he had a "step cut!

The funniest thing was when I tried to take a picture he yelled: You are not taking a picture of me... CAUSE ALL YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS PUT IT ON YOUR BLOG AND EVERYONE WILL JUST MAKE FUN OF ME!... Kids are so funny!We signed Micah up for Safety Town. I think he has social anxiety issues. He was so nervous everyday when I dropped him off.. I watched the other kids hop out of their cars and run in... not Micah... I had to walk him in... stay for about 20 min till he gave me the ok! This picture was taken at Safety Town graduation... He was suppose to go on the stage... but refused! He looks like he is being tortured... I don't know what to do with him?

Here is my project I have been working on! The kids playroom! I finally made the frames and got the pix printed. I just love them! .... I have been wanting to do this forever so I am happy with how it turned out! :)
