My big kids - September 2013

 

I can't get over how big my kids are getting!  Matthew 7 and Isabel 5.

2nd grade and Kindergarten!

Isabel turns 5 on 5/05/13

My darling girl Izzie turns 5 on 5/5!
(Can you tell she wasn't very happy to take her pictures!)  She is such a sweet girl!  Loves to draw and doodle and write in her journal.  She is a messy little thing in her room, but will clean up when asked.  She loves being a big sister and helps her mommy.  As well as loves her big brother and looks up to him.  She loves her daddy and will draw and write him love notes to take to work.  She loves to wear dresses, jewelry, shoes and to look at mommy's make-up!  She is still very shy, but when you get her talking she will tell you all sorts of things!  I wish I had a magic wand to stop her from growing up, she is the perfect 5 year old!  I love you, my Isabel Grace!

Her birthday cake - she was able to draw on it and make it her own.

She wanted a rainbow cake!  Ta-da! Mommy is magic!

My school goers plus one cute baby.

Matthew, my sweet 1st grader. "Hey Matt, are you excited for school?" What do you think?!

 

"Are you going to miss your mommy, while you are at school?"  "I will miss you too buddy!"

My girl turns 4!  Can't believe it!

Happy Birthday my Izzie!
I do love how she has my eyes.  Oh I wish time would slow down.  These are the best days of my life.

Large but in charge!

Valentine's day - showing mommy the love!



35 weeks - 3 weeks to go, since being induced on the 15th of March! (I only wore the heels for the picture! Ha!)

So a quick update of the Jaggi household:

John leaves for Florida (Disney World) for 5 days - while his very pregnant wife deals with all the household. We don't have anything ready, and I mean NOTHING ready for our sweet #3 baby. So this weekend I am hoping to pull out all my baby stuff, do tons of laundry and clean. We will see how much this tired body of mine will let me do. As for names, our poor baby is nameless. We can't decide or like each others ideas. If we let the kids name her, she would be Princess (Izzie's) or Elliott (Matthew's). They crack me up!

Matthew has just finished up his Spanish classes (don't know how much he learned, but hey it was fun) and will start soccer on Thursdays. He is very excited for this, as I am to get all his wiggles out. He is doing well in school and the last few weeks he has been bring home 100% on all his spelling tests. Yes, spelling tests in kindergarten.

Isabel has been in high demand for birthday parties, almost one every week lately, but loving it. She is such a sweet little thing, always my big helper because she knows the baby takes everything out of me. She is excited to be a big sister!

5 months now....."Damn......this is good."

I have been the worst blogger lately. Well, I do have a good excuse. This pregnancy has been so hard! I have been sicker than ever, but now at 20 weeks I am feeling more like myself, no more meds and no more puking! That was the longest 5 months of my life. I really didn't do anything, I laid on the couch, didn't cook and made myself pick up the house and took my kids to school. So nothing to brag about, so no blogging.

So we are having a sweet baby girl, no name yet but we talk about it a lot. Matthew says, Bella or Elliot. Izzie says to name her Princess. I like Lily, and John doesn't. But still thinking and we have plenty of time-March (middle).

I do have a funny story about Matthew -

The other day I cooked dinner, nothing exciting, probably leftovers. But we were all sitting at the table eating and Matthew picked up his food, took a bite:

Matthew: "Damn." "Damn, this is good."

John and I looked at each other and said,

"Excuse me? What did you say?"

Matthew-again: "Damn, this is good."

That is what we thought we heard and John says, very nicely. "We don't say that word Matthew."

Matthew: "ok"

John (jokes) blames me for his swearing - HA! I laugh! Right!

Izzie's first day of preschool!

When did time fly by! It still feels like I should be snuggling with this sweet baby, but now she is going to school! We have been talking up school this past week or so, just a little worried she would cry and not want to go, ha! I was wrong, she had no trouble and was excited to go. Oh, I do love this little person!

Summer Pictures

Here are some random pictures from my camera/phone. Sometimes that is all we get is random! Enjoy!

Parents and the Wild Burros

My parents came to visit this past week. I dragged them around town, Matthew's basketball class to story time, to shopping, to making my dad plant my tomato plants, to fixing Izzie's desk, to resting. It was so nice to have them. And I miss them already.

Grandma with Izzie

Feeding the wild burro - crazy! We have never done this before. (PS they like raisins)

We went to Cactus Joe's and they had a week old goat and 10 baby kittens. Matthew LOVED them!

Yep that is the raisins talking! Come here little burro!

Aww the baby kittens! So cute and so many!

My parents!
