Combo Birthday with Family

Jaedin & Remi's birthdays are only 5 days apart and typically fall very close to Thanksgiving. We have had a combo birthday party with Eric's family each year and the girls really enjoy the opportunity to celebrate with their cousins! Happy Birthday to the Turner Girls!

Disney On Ice

Last year, Remingtin celebrated her 1st birthday on Thanksgiving Day. This year, her birthday fell on Black Friday. We decided a great way to celebrate her birthday would be to take the whole family to Disney on Ice in Topeka. We were lucky enough to order our tickets through a presale and got 2nd row seats! Perfect for the kiddos! They all loved the show...and I think it's safe to say that mom & dad had a great time too! After the ice show, we went to nana & papa's house for ice cream cake & presents. If you ask Remi about her birthday, she says it was her "Two Barney Birthday Party" and that Mickey, Nemo, and the princesses were all there.

Remi Mae turns 2!

Our little princess is 2! Wow...where has the time gone? I remember the day (Mother's Day 2007) I found out I was pregnant with Remi, just a couple weeks before our big move to Perry. I also remember the day (moving day) that Miss Jaedin told our family & friends that "mommy has a baby in her tummy". :-) Now, the littlest Turner is 2! Remingtin makes each of us laugh everyday with her adorable & silly personality. She truly completes our family!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Remingtin!!

No school = Play date!!!

We love "stay home" days!

Cousins - they would live together if we'd let them!


Remi decided her face & clothes needed some extra color.

Our A+ Student...

Here's some of Jaedin's recent school work. We couldn't be more proud of her!!!

This is her mid-quarter progress report...she got rewarded for this!

Here favorite part of Kdg is "snack". :-)

She does love job (centers) time.

She was very proud of this...she got to show the whole class!

She would do art all day long!

She takes great pride in her animated literacy drawings.

Zac Brown!

We headed to Independence, MO on a Thursday night to watch an amazing musician & band. There was a large group of us that got tickets together so that made it even more fun!

Happy Grandfriends Day 2009!!!

Nana & Papa were able to visit Jaedin & Paige's school for Grandfriends Day. Everyone started out in the gym where the Kindergartners and 1st graders sang a couple of songs and then the students took their grandfriends back to the classrooms to do an activity. Nana & Papa took turns and got to visit both Ms. Johnson (Jaedin's class) and Mrs. Besler's (Paige's class) classrooms. The girls were beyond excited to have them visit their school.

Goodbye Brunette Locks...

Jaedin has been begging to get her hair cut shorter for awhile now. Her daddy loves her long, brown hair and has always talked her out of it. After many promises, she finally won and got her hair cut! I really don't think it has been this short since she was a toddler. She loves it!
