Three Little Kids

So, I'm behind in my blog posting. It's been a busy month! Here are a few random photos of the kids over the past month.

Dillon doing his first preschool homework assignment :)

He was very proud and he got them all right! 

 Lily was doing her homework too.

 The kids climbing all over Daddy!

 Pickle left asleep one afernoon on the Elmo chair. Doesn't this look uncomfortable?

 Lacy Lyn is a diva. She's always wearing necklaces, tiaras and anything shiny she can find. She's very girly.

 And since he has two sisters, Dillon likes to dress up and wear jewelry too!

 Not so happy with Mommy!

 Lily dressed up as a princess to go to her friend Carly's birthday party. Lacy was dressed up to go with me to Heather's bridal shower.

 Lily and Luke coloring at a bonfire we had last weekend.

 All dressed up in the pretty boas and tiaras they got from Heather's shower.

 Earlier this month we had our first parent/teacher conference for Lily. We received a great report. Lily is such a great helper and a natural leader. Her teacher loves her. Lily's doing great in all subjects, especially math. She is great at problem solving. Her goal for this year is to work on improving her handwriting. While we were waiting to speak to Miss Stair, we saw this piece of work Lily had made :)

These two photos are from today. This morning, the kids were snuggling together while watching Sponge Bob.

 

We went over to Nana and Papa's today to celebrate Papa's birthday. Lily and Lacy were twins. We had a pizza party, went in the hot tub (felt amazing) and had cake/ice cream. It was a good day.

 Time to go do baths and get ready for another week!

My little baton twirler!

This year we put Lily in a baton class instead of tap/ballet/jazz. She seems to really like it - except for the occasional bump on the head. I am a proud mama since I was a majorette too! I hope she stays with it. She's in a class with a few of her former dance mates and her teacher, Miss Shannon, is awesome! Here are a few photos and videos from the last 2 weeks.

Lydia and Lily practicing passing it to each other.

Dillon's First Day of Preschool

On Sept. 4, Dillon had his first day of preschool! I took him that day to help make the transition easier. Here are some photos and videos from his first class.

His tote bag.

Hanging up his tote by his name

First they had free play time. Dillon loved playing with the train table. He has one in the basement that he never plays with but he would've played with this one all day if I would've let him!

Sitting by his name on his carpet square.

Dillon's turn to find the animal on the page during circle time.

Dillon putting his ingredients in the snack bowl and helping to mix it.

Lining up to go to the bathroom. I think he was acting shy and that's why his head was down.

Snack time!

Dillon was a good boy in the hallway during the bathroom break so he got a special sticker :)

Hugging his teacher, Miss Kurtz, good-bye.

Jet Skiing on Lake Erie

On Saturday, we headed up to Headlands Beach State Park for the day to go swimming and jet skiing. We had a blast. The weather was perfect and the water felt so good.

 The kids had fun collecting rocks and playing in the big sandbox!

 All ready to go out on the boat!
