Blessings and Beyond: April 2015
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Today Jake had a half day of school! The weather has been so pretty, so we made plans for an after school picnic at the park! We went to one of our favorite parks that just so happens to be right down the road from us! We enjoyed a picnic lunch under one of the shelters and then walked down to the water to feed the fish and turtles! The park also has some great walking trails, so we took some time and enjoyed those next! Emery LOVED being outside! Thursday, April 16, 2015. Monday,...

Blessings and Beyond: A Day at the Gardens & A Splash in the Pool
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-day-at-gardens-splash-in-pool.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. A Day at the Gardens and A Splash in the Pool. There have been a few last minute activities that I wanted to squeeze in before Jake gets out of school. These activities are geared towards preschoolers, so I wanted to make sure that we could take advantage of them. I just recently found out about a little preschool program hosted by Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. The preschool program was FANTASTIC! The kids heard stories, made a craft, sang some songs, and toured the gardens! Im su...

Blessings and Beyond: Celebrate Being Three!
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015/05/celebrate-being-three.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. This boy LOVED celebrating his third birthday! He was so excited that it was his special day! Last Thursday was his actual birthday and he told me that he wanted to eat at Chick fil a for supper AND he wanted to eat it INSIDE:). We met Matt for an early supper and everyone ate, played, and devoured some birthday brownies! Even this girl enjoyed some fries (and some sweet potatoes)! Then on Sunday we did a double celebration! Everyone gathered at our house for pizza, chips, jello.

Blessings and Beyond: Ready, Set...Field Day!
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015/05/ready-setfield-day.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. Ready, Set.Field Day! One of the best things about the end of school is FIELD DAY! The elementary kids at Jake's school all got together for a very hot, but very fun morning of games, water, and some good competition! It took Jake a few rounds to get into all of the fun (that's how my Jake rolls), but as soon as he did, there was no stopping him:)! He had the best time rotating stations with all of his buddies and playing all of the games! The little ones and I got to go too!

http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015/05/parkers-three-year-check-up.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Parker's Three Year Check Up. Yesterday I took Parker to the doctor for his three year old well check! He looked great and is growing big and strong! Parker weighed 35.6 lbs. and was 39.5" tall! Dr B asked us some questions and then took a good look at my growing boy! You are wearing size 4t or 5t clothes. Your shoes are a size 8. You are such a HAPPY boy and are usually FULL of smiles! You like to wake up early each morning and are always eager to get dressed and start your day.

Blessings and Beyond: February 2015
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow! It was bound to happen to me sometime. Today my Parker decided to give himself a haircut. Ugh! He was a bit quiet for a few minutes, so I went looking for him. I just KNEW he was into something! I heard the buzz of the clippers going in our bathroom and I got a HUGE lump in my throat. Sure enough, I walked in to see him standing in a pile of RED HAIR! I was in SHOCK! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I did a little of both! Our next batch of w...

Blessings and Beyond: March 2015
http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Another weekend has come and gone! We always LOVE our weekends:). This coming week is a bit exciting because in just a few days, Jake starts his spring break! We have no big plans, but plenty of simple fun to keep us busy. Friday was kind of rainy and cold, so the kids pretty much stayed in their jammies all day! Because of the rain, t-ball got cancelled all weekend. My inlaws had asked if they could take Jake and Sis to see the Harlem Globetrotters for some indoor FUN! She is get...

http://blessingsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015/05/emery-caroline-is-8-months.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Emery Caroline is 8 Months! Today my Emery Caroline is 8 months old! This past month brought lots of exciting things. The biggest news is that she is on the move! She's been kind of scooting for a while, but this past weekend, she finally figured out how to crawl! She can also pull up to a standing position using my couch or coffee table! Sometimes she gets upset because I think she kind of gets stuck then! She doesn't quite know how to get down yet! She ALWAYS sleeps with her arms...
