KING JAKE

Today, Jake and the other kindergarteners went to school dressed as a king/queen/prince/princess for their Valentine Celebration. What fun, right? Not so for a kid who doesn't EXACTLY dress up very much. I promised him that I'd make it so that later we could use it as a superhero costume. So..here ya go. Doesn't his face say it all??

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Ally's big girl bed

Just finished re-painting my old bed for Ally's "big girl" bed..although I think I heard her call it a "good girl" bed. She's certainly been a good girl lately. She just started potty training and has done consistenly well. Although - I sure hope she comes out of this phase of wanting to show everyone her "big girl" panties...ha!

Snow Day!!!

Jake - "Friend of the Week" in Kindergarten

This week was Jake's turn to be "Friend of the Week" in his Kindergarten class. The week began with his "All About Me" poster, followed by bringing in some of his 'treasures' from home & getting to have the class mascot, Clifford, spend the night at our home. Doesn't he look proud?

I now have an ETSY shop!

Jakey's Monkey Party

You might be a little "bananas" after viewing all these monkey party pics - but we had a WILD time! If you don't know my Jakey - he begins planning the theme of his party each year the week FOLLOWING each birthday. So, the weem after he turned 5 last year, he announced he wanted a monkey party. He's done this since he was THREE! I'm glad to oblige and figure he must've come by this honestly ;-) So, we had monkey cupcakes, a monkey vine in the dining room, chocolate monkey suckers, and monkey party favors. Jake was so happy to have his family here: Nannie, Papa, Amy, Mason, Grammy, Pop, Kevin, Keresa, Savannah, Simone, & Brody. It was a house FULL, but it was great to be with family and celebrate the SIX years we've had with our Jakey Monkey. We Love You, Jakers!!

making his 6th birthday wish

Williams Wednesday - Our Monkey is almost SIX!

Happy Birthday, Jake! We're so thankful for your sweet giggles, playful personality, and loving nature. We are so blessed and we love you!

Birthday party and festivities this weekend. Did a little "monkey makeover" to Jake's room as an early Birthday treat. Just "un-babied" his room, removing all the nursery decor. Yes, he's almost six...it was about time!!
