JR's teacher, Ms. Francione sent out a BUNCH of pictures from his classroom that have been captured over the past 4 months. What better place to share them?

On Friday, Alex had her 4 year check up. She did GREAT and cooperated without any hesitation.
Getting her blood pressure taken.
We knew she was due for some vaccinations. If not this year--all of them NEXT year before she starts Kindergarten. I had been mentally preparing myself for a few months now to get them all knocked out, but I felt super unsettled about it. So, Jeff and I discussed it and we decided we would do two vaccinations during this visit, and two next year after she turns 5. Well. Dr. Reich didn't think that would be a good idea--and recommended we do an all or nothing deal. Jeff was on board--so we decided to knock all FOUR out this visit. We were able to prep her after the doctor left the room. She didn't really understand until the nurse came back in with a tray full of needles and we attempted to pull down her pants. Then she FREAKED. And she SCREAMED. And the first two went in super fast, and then the nurse had to stop and prep the next two and I completely panicked. It was too late to quit--the nurse explained to me. So Jeff and I held our completely hysterical screaming and crying baby while she took FOREVER to get the next two shots ready. I was not a happy camper and was pretty shaken up the rest of the night. So not cool, man. We promised Alex she could pick out a little something at Target and pick where she wanted to eat dinner.
Clearly...she got over it pretty fast!
Mickey D's, of course!
Luckily she hasn't had any reactions...yet. So we are happy they are all done with but man oh man was that something I would NOT want to do again.
On Saturday the weather was beautiful! So we got out for a bit and tested out the metal detector from Santa.
Guess what was buried in the sand box? Score!
And the detector drew in some lady-friends. LOL
Saturday evening I got to meet Karissa, Carissa, and Amber for drinks and dinner in Old Colorado City. We went to this awesome little Italian place and I was in love! I can't way to go back.
Jeff took the kids to Jameson's Birthday party at Jumpin Jacks. They had a blast.
These two...
Happy Birthday Jameson!
I took Moses for a run on Sunday and he sure was happy when we returned home. He is sitting on my lap giving me lots of kisses. You are welcome, Mosey!
Running errands during half-time while the Broncos game was on. Too much weekend for Alex. Guess who is going to Super Bowl 50??? Go Broncos!!!
We had a fun time watching that very intense game. Phew!
This week the kids have dentist appointments! And nothing planned for this weekend...which is totally weird!
