Jadee is attending pre-school again this year with Mrs. Fowler. She loved going last year and I'm sure she'll love it again this year. One of her favorite things is the bag that Mrs. Fowler gives the kids to decorate and then bring each day to carry their things. Jadee's is red this year and we decorated it in a lady-bug theme. I will take a picture tomorrow and add to this post. I am so grateful to our generous Auntie Heather, who pays the pre-school scholarship so that the kids can go to Mrs. Fowler's pre-school. Thanks, Auntie! We love you!

It's Great to be 8!
The last three weeks have been a whirlwind of fun, excitement and milestones for Jeron. Here is a little photo journal of the highlights...
An 8th birthday "late-over" with lots of friends and fun.
Jeron's baptism with three of his friends from church (Alina, Jacob & Kylah).
Lots of friends and family come to support Jeron at his baptism.

The first day of school at a new school.
Jeron's first night as a Cub Scout.

Sampson...or, Davis
Sampson...
Davis, let's cut your hair.
NO!
Davis, you need a haircut.
NO!
Davis, can Mommy cut your hair?
NO!
Yesterday, the haircut stars aligned...finally. Davis was in a GREAT mood after his nap and wanted to watch McQueen. I took advantage of the situation and told him he could watch McQueen while I cut his hair. He did such a great job sitting still and letting me cut, I was amazed. The last two haircuts have been absolute nightmares, complete with screaming and snotting and throwing down. That would be why I haven't pushed the haircut issue this summer. I just couldn't add one more battle to my plate already so full. Imagine my delight when Davis sat up tall on the table, let me use the clippers, and only squirmed and giggled a little bit. After about fifteen minutes, he did start asking me, "Duh? Duh?" That is Davis for, "Done?" There was a lot of hair to cut...and it took a while. I think the outcome is quite handsome...if I do say so myself!
Davis...
The bump on his chin is from a fight with the playground at Jeron's school.
I had to include McQueen in the background...some may say that my children watch too much TV...many days, I would agree...but today, it was well worth it!
The by-product...is that a monster?!
