A sad day for us

It is with great sadness that I share a family loss. Matt's grandmother, Esther, aka G.G., passed away on March 4th. She is remembered by all of us as an active, talented, funny woman who will be sorely missed at all the Janowicz celebrations.  Goodbye, G.G., now you can be with your husband forever and ever.

December Joy

The month of December just flew by! Between soccer, basketball, Christmas shopping, and physical therapy, I was busier than a one armed wall paper hanger.
I am not complaining. I loved every moment of it all. Even the PT wasn't so bad. And the grandbabies are growing so fast. Ella is talking up a storm, cute as a button, running and keeping up with her brothers. Apparently everyone was very good in 2010 because they have a house full of new toys, including a trampoline (from us) to play on. Here is Ella in her new convertible, purse and all.

Happy Halloween!

Last days of Summer!

                                                   

Jaxson turned 7 on July 27th. Mario and Luigi (the famous Mario bros. of Nintendo fame) was the theme. We spent the day playing "pin the mustache on Mario, ate pizza, hit the pinata Uncle Mark made to look like Mario's coveralls, ate cake, and Jaxson was excited over every present. Uncle Josh came as a big Mario to surprise him. Way to go Josh!

School's out for Summer!

And they're off! Only 4 days off from school and our boys are feeling their oats. I gave Bridgett a rest yesterday and took Jayden, Jaxson, and Addison to McDonald's, where they could play on the slide and get their wiggles out. At least they are still young enough to be satisfied with a happy meal and time to run around in a safe area. Well, sorta safe, enough germs to kill a horse, but just make sure the hands get washed before eating any french fries.
I had Jayden over to spend the night. We worked on projects and he put this plane together on his own. Way to go, Jayden!

Awards for our Boys

Both our boys, Jayden and Jaxson received awards in their respective grades.The assembly was held on the last day of school. In kindergarten, Jaxson got one for being a Good Citizen. His teacher, Ms. Xylinga, said he would come up to her many times during the school year and tell her "I just love my school, and I love you!" She said it made her feel so good, but he also was telling all the other teachers the same thing. That's our boy, always cover your bases!
And Jayden received a Writing Award. He really loves to write short stories and uses lots of imagination. Go Jayden! I see him publishing a book someday.

May is going by fast

I looked at the calendar and lo and behold,Summer is just around the corner! There have been a bunch of memorable activities this month.
We went to Jaxson and Jayden's open house at Branch Elem. where Jayden was a wax museum replica of Houdini, a project for his 3rd grade class. (note the handcuffs)
We also got to see Jaxson do his song and dance in honor of Mexico.He is quite a dancer! Here's a sneak peak:
                                                                  It was a lot of fun, and I am oh, so, PROUD of them!
