I'm a little excited to see Jimmy's response in the morning...

He has his first fourth grade Book Report due in the morning.

He read the second Percy Jackson book,

'The Sea of Monsters'

He really enjoyed the book and loves the series. They have to do a different type of report each month on different themed books. The themes have been decided by his teacher for the year already and this month was the students choice. He decided for this months report he would do the book in a bag. I told him that I would help with his work this year but that he had to do the work and ask me for the help when he needed it. So he has done the work and put all the things together. He asked me if I could print out a couple of pictures for him and that is all he needed. So that is what I did... and then a little special surprise for him... 

I had seen a great tutorial about printing pictures onto paper snack bags. So I went on the hunt and found it again, here, and then printed this surprise for him. :)

When he gets up in the morning I'm going to have him cut out his pictures and then place them in his bag in his backpack, and when he pulls the bag out.... there it will be already replaced with his items in it. :) 

Here are some pictures with how it turned out!!

Good Luck BABE!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

JIMMY FINALLY LOST HIS TWO FRONT TEETH!!

sorry for the not cleaned out... we started out with it being but it took a few times to get a good picture...

Jimmy has done a lot of growing up lately!!

He is so excited that this happened!! He is one of the last ones in his class to have lost their front teeth.

He proudly went to school YESTERDAY (yes a new post lol)

and showed anyone that he could :)

This is Gabbi at Jimmy's Birthday Party
On the 17th, yes I’m behind again uugghh, Jimmy had his first girl birthday party with his best friend. She had a cooking party (she loves Rachael Ray she's got GREAT taste). Jimmy knew that there were other boys invited but he was the only one that showed up and he was ok with that :) Before we got there he told me, “don’t worry Aunt Tammy if the kids don’t want to do what Gabbi wants to do she won’t have to worry because I’ll stay with her and do whatever she wants to do so she won’t be by herself”. He has the MOST TENDER HEART. I think that he was worried that the other kids might not want to cook or something. He also picked out her gift himself, cooking show Barbie. Well they made pizzas, cupcakes, and a drink (if I remember it right). They got a chef apron, hat, and balloon for party favors. As you can see Jimmy loved his balloon! He said that “they had so much fun!” but was upset that I was on time; they had just begun to play. I’m really happy that he has made such good friends!

Jimmy wanted a long weekend Birthday like Chris got this year, and since both had their Birthdays on Sunday that is just what happened. It started on Saturday with his Friend’s party, our Family party on Sunday evening, and Monday was his Class party. He kept Auntie busy.

He wanted a “Space” party, and thanks to Jenny we had these really cool Shuttle Space Ship, and she gave the greatest ideas for party favors too. “THANKS JENNY!!”

The Kids had a blast!!
Friend's Party

Family Party

It was a great Birthday and a Fun weekend!!!

Ok so I'm 10 days late on the post... I'm working on getting caught up on my posts (almost there)! Jimmy counted down most of the summer, he was so excited for school to start. We started at the door, the ever Tammy's calling card (the photo in the car before the special event), waiting for Principal Carter to open the doors, hanging up his back pack on his special hook, sitting at his spot that he picked out on Thursday at the Open House (there was a special box with supplies just for him waiting), sitting next to his "best friend" and listening to Principal Carter's announcement welcoming everyone back to school, to ....really Aunt Tammy... you can go NOW!

Now Chris... He was just as excited for Jimmy... He LOVES his big bother!! so I had to post his picture "following in his bather's footsteps" :)

Chris's ever favorite posse right now...He's quite proud of his "back side". He was on the stage in the gym/lunchroom as I was taking care of lunches for Jimmy.
