Last Little Bits of March...

Connor loves the ice cream truck at the Grable's.  Someone needs to tell her it's for dolls....


We love cracking eggs.  Or holding eggs.


Sometimes, you just wake up and need to exercise!  No time to get out of your pajamas!



And we still snuggle and watch movies...

Birth-DAY.

Number 7.


For at least the second time...I had parent-teacher conferences on his birthday.  Whomp, whomp.  :( SO.....a little monkey bread before school with candles for breakfast!



7 things to love about Jace:

1. His red hair and brown eyes.

2. He is an awesome brother.  Whether she calls him Jace, Jacer, or Jacey, he knows how to push Connor's buttons AND love her to pieces.

3. His love for all things farming.  The animals, the equipment, the fields, the crops, the LOGISTICS.

4. His hugs, his kisses, and his snuggles.

5. His energy.  Always ready to go, ready to do something.  Let's farm! Let's do the sandbox!  Let's plant the garden!  Let's go fishing!

6. His love for baseball.  Maybe because it's his first sport, but he loves the Royals, he loves playing catch, and would be out there all night in the summer.

7. Him.  There is no one else like him!


On his birthday he got THE BEST birthday present, and it wasn't something that we gave it, but rather something that was taken away.....


He was working on this loose tooth for days.  It was really bothering him that it wouldn't come out...so finally him and Jed were in the shop and he told Jed to "get it over with".  Out comes a pair of pliers and Jed pulls the tooth.  Woohoo!!! 


That night he put it in his tooth fairy box--a thoughtful gift from the Tharmans a long time ago--and the next morning there were 7 dollar coins inside!  We are guessing the toothfairy left that much since it happened on his 7th birthday.  So much excitement!
