Party Pictures

If you'd like to see pictures of the party click HERE.

I want to thank Kathy Tenney for kindly giving of her time to take all the pictures.

We will also post pictures of Thursday, November 11 when we deliver the presents to the hospital.

A Preview

Jane's party was today and it was a HUGE success. I will write details and post pictures later but I wanted to post this.

All the loot Jane collected for the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital:

All the loot Jane ended up with for herself:

All of her friends wrote her nice cards and she was a happy little girl.

To see all those toys and presents (that Tobe and Aly were drooling over) and then to come in the other room and see a smiling little Janey Bug reading all her cards was priceless. She is a special little girl. I am lucky to be her mom:)

Silly Bands

When I was a kid it was jelly bracelets, scrunches, charm necklaces, and don't forget garbage pail kids. Today.....it's "Silly Bands".

You know your daughter is growing up when she requests (more like demands) the latest fad. "You have to buy me silly bands mom!! Everyone has them."

I remember being a kid and "just having" to keep up with all the cool stuff in school. So I fulfilled Jane's request. What is a silly band you ask? Well ask no more:

Here's the DINO pack

The HOLIDAY pack

The PRINCESS pack

And these are the ones she TRADED for!!!

She's getting too big!!!

So tell me? Are your kids cool enough to have Silly Bands??

Jane Started Kindergarten!!!!

We have both been looking forward to this day for a long time and Jane couldn't be happier. She loves school. It is nice for her to have something to call her own and that makes her feel proud. She is so dang smart and we are so dang proud of her.

This is the second day of school but I thought she looked so cute.

Here's to a great first year of school. We are so happy that it is finally here:)

Following in Mommy's Footsteps

For the last 2 months Jane wakes up and immediately gets into her leotard and tights.  She wants to "be a ballerina" so bad.  So I finally signed her up for ballet class.  I couldn't be more thrilled that she wants to be a dancer. 

 

I thought she would get bored because ballet, in my opinion, was always boring.  She loved it.  And she looked beautiful.

She's A Big Girl Now

My little Janey Bug turns 5 today. She was born on a rainy Thursday afternoon, November 13th. You might recall her birthday last year, this year she got a camera. Hopefully that should keep everyone safe. We are going to Disney On Ice with Jane's best friend, Emma. Jane can't wait to order her own dessert at the restaurant.

Here Are A Few of Jane's Favorite Things

*Color-pink

*Food-pancake faces

*Toy-high school musical barbies

*Princess-jasmine

*Movie-tinker bell

*Friend-emma and mommy

*Thing To Do-take pictures, play with my friends

Happy Birthday Little Princess!!!

Jane's First Day of School

  

Today was Jane's first day of school.  She is going back to the same preschool she attended last year with Miss Hollie.  The 2 friends she went with last year have moved on to Kindergarten so Jane doesn't know anyone this year.  She had butterflies in her tummy all morning.  When we got there she began to cry.  Normally I would have gritted my teeth and said, "You get in there right now!!"  But she has been so sweet this last week (with no accidents since Thursday:) that it actually broke my heart to leave her there.  I'm sure she'll be fine.

But then I got in my car and soaked in the reality of this:

Dropping Jane off (you can tell she's nervous:()

Just you and me girl, Yipee!!
