Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful Mom and Mother-in-law. I am truly blessed to have such amazing women in my life to help me be the best mother I can be. Thank you for all you do and all you have taught me! I love you both!

Ready to celebrate his birthday with his kindergarten class.

He really wanted to help hand out the cupcakes.

Peek-a-boo Jordan!

The 'Crystal Sweeper'! I got this at an after Christmas sale and have been waiting to give it to him ever since.

Kevin and his friend Kellen. We had a party with the whole family and I told him he could pick one friend to come over and he picked Kellen. They met in preschool and now go to different schools.

oh man, a wod of cash from Auntie Chelle and Uncle Dan!

'Mata Nui' Bionicle, so excited!

It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years since we had our first baby. Our first boy. Six years since I left my 'paying' job. Had three boys in the last 6 years. What fun it has been and what a blessing Kevin is to our lives. I cannot image life without him.

Below is a video of Kevin's class singing him happy birthday :)

Here is a video of my little niece Talea. It was taken on my recent visit to Montana to see my sister Heather for her 30th birthday. She just loves those ruby red shoes and I just LOVED that adorable skirt!!

Here We Are

It's been awhile. I know. So sorry to those of you wonderful people out there that read my blog. Instead of giving excuses, I will just get into what we have been up too...in random order.
As you can see little Jordy is still as cute as ever. He is 17 months now and still wears size 12 month pants, size 4 shoes and size 3 diapers (that wont mean much to you who don't have little ones I know). He is so happy and fun and good! He is so smart and understands everything we say, but does not say many words of his own. He smiles all the time and is just so handsome...if I do say so myself :) Every time I leave him in the childcare at the gym they tell me how cute he is, and how everyone who comes in there says the same thing. She said one day a women with a 6 month old actually said "I'll just leave this one and take that one!" ("that one" meaning MY baby).

Kevin will be turning 6 next week! (April 28th) He is really into Bionicles and Legos right now. We started a blog for him to show off some of his designs. You can see it HERE. I find that my oldest is the hardest to deal with these days. I thought it got easier the older they get! I really need to re-read my Love and Logic book. He has been doing great in school. Just today his teacher told me how great he is doing in math (he is in Kindergarten). They were reading a story which had a girl with 10 quarters. She asked the class if anyone knew how much 10 quarters was? It took Kevin only a few seconds and he knew the answer. He then proceeded to draw out on the white board how he came to his answer. She was very impressed. I was so proud :)

Kevin and Ashton started playing indoor soccer again. They have played on and off since Kevin was 18 months. Im all about the indoor sports these days. Neither Kevin or I like being out in the cold and chasing after Jordan is easier too. They are in different classes at the same time which makes it easy.

Ashton will be turning 4 in June. He just recently learned to ride his bike without training wheels! He is so proud of himself, and us of him!

Do you see the look on his face? We were all there cheering him on and he was loving it!

As usual, Jordan wanted to do as his brother were doing :)

We are lucky to have a photographer in the family (Michelle Goree) who just happen to get a new camera recently. She was nice enough to try it out on our family which meant we got some cute new family pictures taken! (these were taken at our home)



As for Jeremy and I, we will be celebrating our 10 yr. anniversary this June! He recently got home from a three week job in Arizona. After a couple slow months things have started to get busy for him again. I am always busy with the kids and the house. Two drop-offs and two-pick ups from school a day. Moms Club on Tuesdays, Jordan and I had been doing Gymboree on Thursdays and soccer on Saturday. I have been going to the gym a lot trying to get in shape. Its hard to squeeze it in sometimes, but I've been trying to make it a priority so that I can get some results. I update my day to day happenings on Facebook, which I think makes me a little slower to blog. If your on Facebook you can find me at 'Jennifer Muma Baker'.

Here's a few more of the boys for you...

St. Patty's Day Parade

Today was the annual St. Patricks Day parade in our neighborhood. Well technically it was in the 'Hough' neighborhood. Just north of that is the 'Carter Park' neighborhood (where Jeremy's parents live) then ours, the 'Lincoln' neighborhood. These neighborhoods only encompass about 20+ blocks. This was the first parade the boys have ever seen, let alone walked in! I know! Kevin is almost 6 and never seen a parade! What kind of mother am I? :)

The stars aligned this year. The weather was PERFECT and Jordan was older, so I decided to go for it. The preschool always has a spot in the parade so we walked with them. Ashton's teacher was nice enough to tie-die shirts for the whole class (including one for Kevin & Jordan). Jordan was in awe for the longest time and then had a great time riding in the wagon with no complaints (I brought the Ergo baby carrier just in case). Kevin, having never seen a parade before was a little nervous when we got to our spot, right behind the middle school marching band and people everywhere. He wasn't sure what was going to happen. After we got started and realized that I was right there with them he did fine. He made sure to tell Ashton "Make sure wherever you are, you can see Mom." Ashton was great also. He's a social butterfly and loved that he was able to walk with Anya (his cute little girl friend from school) He tells me he "loves her." He is definitely a ladies man. I know: its cute now, just wait until he gets older :)

Not sure if you can tell, but of course I found a tiara for the occasion!

Ashton and Anya.

They held hands about 3/4 of the parade. The cutest!

Kevin marched behind the lovebirds playing his tambourine to the beat of the marching band.

Even Jordan played a little music. He had so much fun in the wagon.
