Evin's 1st Halloween Party at School

Oh and was she excited!! She got to dress up in her "Blue Fairy Like Tink" costume and pose for some pictures before school. I can't wait to hear her reaction to it after school. This is the first year that she is getting dressing up and understanding what is going on. This age is so much fun!!

Before Pictures we have to play with Jaxin's new Birthday Toys!

Waving that magic wand!!

Posing with Daddy

The kids have been having fun lately. Drinking smoothies (yep, they both love to drink them from a straw), eating play food, wearing cute clothes, and watching the iPad.

Evin loving on her smoothie

Jaxin eating apples - He started smiling when he saw the camera, so I had to take a pic

YAY!! Play food and Uncle Michael's hand me down overalls (still super cute!!)

These peas are yummy Mommy!

And Just for good measure, Jaxin watching "TV" on the iPad. He thought it was so cool to sit there and watch! And he also has more of Uncle Michael's hand me down overalls on!

Our 2+ week update

So we have been busy and I have been lazy on the photo uploads, so FINALLY am going to make an update post. Lots has gone on since the kids are FINALLY better! First we had friends in town! Went to the splash park, pool and regular park. Then we had lots of play time. Had to help Daddy hang curtains, went to a birthday party for a 5 year old and all Evin's friends were there. Played at the park with a kite!! And even started to get some birthday presents for Jax's birthday. Evie and Jax have been super busy and having fun.
