Hello! Well this week I finally remembered to bring my camera for Jaxson's football game! This week he had a 6:30 game so by the end of the game they were playing under the lights. He has been having a lot of fun at football, but it does make for a long day for him now that he is at preschool all day. He was making comments at the end that he was really tired. The remaining three games are all at 5:30, so that should help. We have been practicing with him more this week, he has a tough time always understanding what to do. I have to remind myself that he is playing with 8 year olds so that obviously makes a difference.
SPIDERMAN!! On Saturday, daddy had to work so we decided to go to a community ed carnival with the Teddy Bear Band! They had two wonderful ladies doing face painting. Jaxson got a spiderman mask and Vada did sit for her to get two little hearts on her face.
Friday morning we had a local photographer take pictures of the kids. This experience reminded me of why I have been postponing/dreading this day for weeks! The first stress is figuring out what they are going to wear and then actually trying to get Vada to try the clothes on and then leave them on. The morning of the pictures was pretty much a disaster. Vada was being her typical difficult self, which I can handle, but within 10 minutes of having her cream sweater on she got into the lily pollen and had yellow pollen all over her sleeves. After she realized that she had gotten dirty with the pollen she turned around a spilled my coffee which then of course she insists on cleaning up. Now she has coffee and yellow pollen on her sleeves. Ahhh! I was able to clean her sweater well enough and really at that point I didn't have another choice.
We then arrived to our destination and Vada would not and I mean WOULD NOT let got of me. She did not want anything to do having her pictures taken. The photographer was so patient and understanding. She really was trying to get their pictures taken together, but I knew going into this that would not be happening. Vada sit still...ummm good luck:) I told her that Vada's are going to have to all be candid and probably by herself- if she will let go of me! After she snapped a bunch of Jaxson we were able to get some of Vada all within probably one minute- the longest we got her to focus. This went on for the entire shoot until the last 5 minutes when we all sat on the ground with her pretended that we were having a picnic. We should of known- mention food to Vada and their are endless smiles!
Of course we get home and I she is as happy as can be and I was able to take bunch of pictures of her.
Vada has started to play a little more independently, even if it is only for a max of five minutes. Her two favorite things are trains and babies. You may be wondering why she is naked- well after the photo shoot she did not want to have her clothes on and I pretty much just gave in.
She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES trains!
Grandma Vickie moved this week into her new town home!! In the move she decided that she didn't need the rocking horse that she had-so now Vada is the new owner and she is loving it!! She is not to good with sharing it yet, but we are working on it. She knows the word "mine."
Here is Vada playing with her babies. She loves pushing them around in the stroller, feeding them and putting them to bed. She is such a good little mommy to her babies and like any good mommy she always make sure that when she takes one somewhere that she has all five! Sometimes we can sneak a couple out, but now she is starting to notice! No playing favorites for her!
She even thinks that she needs to be in their bed with them! She just sits in there and talks to them.
I had my first experience at the Cheesecake Factory on Friday, and it did not disappoint! I had the peanut butter cup cheese cake--oo so good! I went out for dinner with Amy, Brook and Tiffany while Presten and the kids spent the evening at Jakes eating Pizza and watching football! It was really fun to have a couple hours of girl time and of course catch up with them!
Presten was at the game today-- what a game!! Plus, he was pretty excited because now he is in the Vikings program two times! Look for him on the first page!
Well I think that is all for now! Have a great week! The Bean's
