Rebecca's First Preschool Project

Wednesday night I decided I really needed some structure this year for Rebecca, now that she is reaching the preschool years. I bought a really amazing curriculum that I had looked at a couple years ago at the homeschool convention. Flowering Baby year 4-5 combines fun projects, lots of books from the library, writing practice, beginning math skills, and its SO MUCH FUN! We spent quite a while at the library Thursday gathering our books from the September book list as well as the books for our two theme studies for this month. Our themes are dinosaurs and farm animals. Rebecca has the farm stuff down pat, but the dinos are going to be an adventure for all of us. We hope to make it back to the Creation Museum this month so she can see some lifesize replicas. Tonight though, we began with building a diorama (sort of) of a farm, complete with homemade barn ans silo. Rebecca had a blast with her new paints and little animals. I'm so excited, and look forward to all the cool things we're going to learn together this year!!!

Ha'bee' Birthday Becca!

This year we decided to go with a simple bee theme for Rebecca's 4th. Everything was black and yellow and bees! Rebecca loves the 'Bee Movie' so that was one of her gifts from daddy and mommy. Grandma Maryann didn't know what we were planning, so it was really cool when Rebecca opened her gifts and found a black and white checked dress with yellow butterflies! The train ride was lots of fun and so much easier than driving Levi so far. Levi is NOT a fan of his carseat!

Rebecca's Birthday Week

Rebecca Lynn 4 years old on August 11, 2011

Happy Birthday, Sunshine!

Captured!

Levi has been giving us little grins and big smiles for a couple weeks, but only now have we finally captured it for a picture.....even at the studio this weekend we couldn't coax a smile for the camera. He is always very happy after breakfast though, so this morning I was ready! Also you'll find a pic of Rebecca curled up in what used to be her crib ( Levi's now). We had a fun day Thursday swimming with some friends and she decided to crash in Levi's crib for a two hour nap. Its hard to believe she used to be so tiny and this week she'll be my big four year old girl!!!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Its just too funny, this morning!

Couldn't be happier, my belly is full and mom is making goofy faces!

Unlikely napping spot for my big girl!

Mom just cracks me up!!

All that laughing wore him out....time for some thumb.
