Beatrix and the playdate...

Beatrix had a little playdate with her friend Triana the other day. They played on the swingset, went through every toy in the toybox, danced like party animals to Yo Gabba Gabba and gorged themselves on homemade strawberry ice cream (that I made!!) Of course I am a dummy and only got pictures of the ice cream...so enjoy, Beatrix sure had a blast!!

They were so excited, I think that must be what it feels like to be a Beatle!

Everybody is happy with ice cream...

Triana would only smile after I took the picture!!

But I finally got her!!

Bea, of course, is a cheese in any situation!

Until the ice cream is all gone. I guess I should call that a compliment to the greatness of my ice cream!

Pictures from June 2010

Jackson and his famous pictures he takes of himself...a future Ansel Adams




I swear this kid is happy 99% of the time



Another self portrait, he is either vain or a creative genius. I'm going with genius!




Pondering whether or not to use a potty seat...I say please oh please do it!!




Bea's favorite hangout, in the closet sitting in her laundry basket playing with shoes. She has a SERIOUS shoe addiction already...that's my girl!!

Upside down Jackson sees all...

What a weird perfect human being!

He loves to play possum...little does he know his mom is the MASTER of that. Just ask his Nona!!

Seriously, how can this not make you smile???

She is cutting two teeth, which is evident by her drool machine she has going on.

I have nothing to say about this one...it speaks for itself!

The love of my life♥♥♥

This is her new favorite thing to wear when she eats...

I was not kidding. Steak and Shake has destroyed our dinnertime decorum.

Beatrix is already a super girly girl and I looooove it!

She makes a PB&J look so appetizing

I love this one. It looks like they are sharing a joke only they know.

Beatrix loves her Nona soooo much that she now says Nona in a clear adorable little baby voice.

I love these guys...

You should see him when he is feeling goofy!



They are the official King and Queen of dancing on mom's just made bed



If she was anymore beautiful, you would go blind looking at her...


Why is my bed ALWAYS more fun and comfy than their own??

About to contemplate life's serious questions, or getting ready to pick her nose. I'm going with the boogers on this one!

Celebration of Jackson!!

Jackson is officially done with Kindergarten and ready for 1st grade in the fall...where does the time go??? He was picked as one of only 15 students in the ENTIRE school to get to ride the Hummers at the end of the year because a teacher caught him being "a kind and exceptional student" I always knew he was, it's just nice that others get to see it! So here are some pics of his ride in the Hummer and some pics from his Kindergarten graduation and a couple of his last soccer game of the season. Enjoy!!

Officially a graduate...diploma and all!

Jackson's award for reading, big surprise coming from someone who has my genes!!

Their song they did, Jack looks like he is auditioning for Jesus Christ Superstar in this one!

Jackson's biggest fan is Poppy

The whole team...GO SCORPIONS!!

Waving to the kids who are not as kind or exceptional as he is!!

Like a happy midget king
