Just another day at the office...

I love my husband!  This is Jon doing something for work, he was all decked out in his gear and I think he looks awesome!  He has gotten to do a lot of cool things with his job and he does really well with all of it. Im proud of him and just wanted to show off how tough he looks!

Sweet Moments

                My two oldest kids are very different.  Ella loves everything purple and sparkly, Noah loves everything superhero and cars.  Makella is super emotional and wants to talk all day long, Noah is pretty even and half the time he tunes everyone out so he can play with his cars.  They are opposite in almost every way and they also share a room, so most days are filled with all kinds of fights and arguments.  “Mom, Noah is ignoring me and that makes me feel bad!” says Ella.  “Mom, Ella took my cars *insert wailing*, says noah.  Those are just the little fights, it goes on and on and back and forth. THEN, every once in awhile, my kids show me that just maybe there is hope for them yet.

             Makella came up to us and said that she wanted to throw a surprise party for Noah.   I told her it wasn’t his birthday and she said, “that’s ok, It will be an I love you party, so he knows that I love him.”  How could anyone say no to that?  So we got what we needed and she put it all together. I even let her make the cake.   Noah doesn’t like frosting, so she decided to only frost half the cake so that he could have some (my health nut two year old still didn’t eat any of it). While he was in the bath, She decorated his chair with his favorite colors and wrapped his favorite candy and a little car up so he could open them.   Then we both hid and jumped out and yelled surprise when he came out.   He really was so excited about it and I can tell that Makella felt really happy about it as well. I am so proud of her for doing such a nice thing for her brother to know that she loves him.  I hope that they can keep that kind of thing going as they grow up.

                            All the decorations and the cake and presents

She did all the wrapping herself and had Jon draw the blue bow on it because she couldnt find one.

In her hiding spot waiting for him to come out.

     Seriously the sweetest moment every! She told him why we were having a party and gave him a big hug. So cute!

Hugs for everyone!!

He had that cute little grin on the whole time. I cant think of a better way of spending an evening
