Jason's Preschool Adventures...

Jason is LOVING preschool and learning so much.  It has only been two weeks but everyday he is coming home remembering everything he is learning about in class.  It is so fun watching him grow!  Luckily, there is a window that I can watch class through (which I love to do) and he is always so enthralled in what they are doing.  I am so glad that he is enjoying it so much!!

This week is "All About Me Week" and they drew pictures of themselves yesterday.  He decided to draw hair all around the head, I am not sure why, but he also did black hair instead of yellow so it would be like his daddy's.  Little does he know that daddy actually has yellow hair just like him! 
He has also started writing letters in the last week.  How did so much change so fast?  He can write almost his name- he has a little trouble with the J still.  So far, he has mastered A, D, E, F, I, L, almost N (they end up backwards most of the time), O, P, Q, S and T. 





*Crafts*

My cousin wanted to see the crafts I have been getting into lately... so, here they are.  My friend, Tanya, took me to Wood Connection one day and I have been addicted since... If you haven't been there you should definitely check it out. 

September --- Welcome Fall!

We had such a great summer filled with lots of fun times with family and friends.  While I am kind of sad to see it go, I am getting very excited for Fall and all of the holidays and other things that are coming up. 

September has brought a lot of new and exciting things for us.  Jason started preschool and is loving it.  He is always so excited to go and is learning lots of new things.  It is sad to think how big he is getting, but it is so much fun at the same time.  The stuff he says everyday not only surprises me, but makes me laugh.  Being his mom has been one of the greatest blessing of my life and I am thankful for him each and everyday!

We are also going to be having a new BABY!  (As I am sure all of you know).  This was a really big deal for us.  We were going to only have Jason, but after some very long discussions we decided to give it a go at having another one and now we are 12 weeks pregnant.  This pregnancy has been very different in the since we have known since about 3 1/2 weeks (and with Jason we didn't know until about 16ish weeks).  I have been *extremely* anxious, and driving Nick- and I'm sure everyone else that has to listen to me- carzy, and I will be so happy when I go to my 14 week appointment and hear everything is going right and be over this trimester.  I think "it" is a boy, but Nick is convinced "it" is a girl.  One of us will be right at least, and we only have to wait a few more weeks to find out.  I just am excited to not have to say "it" or baby anymore.  Jason is also finally warming up to the idea of having a little brother or sister.  Although he calls "it" Baby Brother, he says he wants it to be a girl. 

I have also been getting into making wood crafts with some friends and it is a new love of mine!  It is so relaxing (when we aren't stressing about it turning out just right) and I love having a creative outlet.  I am trying to patiently wait until October to put up all the fun Halloween stuff we made, and so I can start making some Christmas things.

Trying this whole blogging thing out...

After hearing a few of my friends talking about their blogs the other night I thought I would try this out. 

With Facebook and its status updates, it seems like we are constantly involved in most of the things going on in people's lives as it is, but I guess this gives the option to go into a little more detail about life's happenings.
