If you are in Jail you are in Love

J told me the what being in love is. He told me that when you tie someone up and put them in Jail you are in love. All I have to say is, only out of the mouth of babes!

Day out with Mommy & Daddy

Half way in between birthdays Mommy and Daddy get to take each child out by themselves and have a special day together. Today was H's day. We went out to eat at Red Robin and then we went to Build a Bear. She picked out this doll to build instead of a bear. But it turned out cute and is so Hannah. She named it Ballerina Girl. She had so much fun having Mommy & Daddy all to herself and we enjoyed being with her too. What a fun day!

It's Official

We finally named our Cat. It's name is Mr. Cat. How original, isn't it? But those of you who know us that is just how we do things around here.

Cute as a Button!

Doesn't she look adorable!

Next time your husband suggests you get away, Question it!

So I didn't have a very good week this last week so Brad arranged with my parents to take me to their house overnight for me to get "Me Time". It was great! The next day before I came home I talked to Brad on the phone and he said he was out and about and that I would find out why. I thought maybe flowers or something like that. When I got home what did I come home to...A CAT!!!! I can't believe that he would get such a thing without the two of us agreeing on it. I really appreciate him for letting me have a break and appreciate all that he does for me and for our family. I am very lucky to have him as my husband, he is wonderful! I guess I will get used to the cat.

Where do kids get ideas?

H came up to me the other day asked me "Mommy, Can I go potty on the heater vent?" WHAT IN THE WORLD?? I told her no and she may never ever do it. I asked her if she already did, she told me no, but I still wonder if she did. But I haven't smelt anything odd or stinky smelling, so hopefully she hasn't.

A Hole, Compared to a Half Blanket

H came downstairs and said she had her hole blanket. Grandma McPheters has made each one of the kids gorgious afghans, which they all love. H calls it her hole blanket because it has holes in it. I think she might have to make K another, he has attached himself to it, so who knows what it's going to look like soon. The other two never were really attached to anything imparticular. So who knows what happened with him. Thanks Grandma McPheters!

I think Daddy is having more fun

It looks like Daddy is having more fun with J's race track, he got for his birthday, than J.

This time it worked

When I put H's hair in curlers I never know how it is going to turn out in the morning when I try and work with it and make it cuter. This time it worked, I think her hair turned out so cute this time. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's cuter in person.

Pout Pout Stick Your Little Lip Out!

A couple of days ago J was pouting with his bottom lip out and I told him that if he kept his lip out a bird was going to come and poop on it. He stopped and looked all around. I asked him what he was doing. He said "Where's the poop!" It was so hilarious!!!

Fun with Grammy & Gramps

J had so much fun going to the movie with Grammy & Gramps. He told us all about it. Thank you for that. We love you both!

Happy Birthday!

J got to go to the Humanitarian Bowl Game with Daddy, on his birthday. He was so excited and had tons of fun. He came home and told me all about it.

Merry Christmas

We all had a wonderful Christmas. We were at Grammy and Gramps in the afternoon and evening. It's great to spend holidays with the ones you love.

Let it Snow!

This year has been great for the kids to play in the snow and they love it.

Couldn't Be More Thrilled

At least they are not crying.

When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go!

When H got up this morning she needed to go to the bathroom, I guess really bad, she got ready and sat down and started to go, but she forgot one detail…to put the toilet lid up! She looked at me with a look on her face like, "What just happened!" So needless to say she got a bath this morning instead of tonight That reminds me a certain cousin, and you know who you are.

Thanksgiving Thanks

We had fun playing guitar!

We had fun just being together!

We had fun playing cowboy & cowgirl on a tiger, instead of a horse!

We ate lots!

We were very greatful that our McPheters family was able to come visit us and spend Thanksgiving with us. We had lots of fun! The kids had different people to play with besides Mommy and Daddy. Everyone was excited to see everyone else. We were sad to see them leave but hopefully we get to see them again soon.

Before

So here is a picture of before her hair was cut. Looking at the pictures it might be hard to see a difference, but cut probably 3-4 inches off.

I Finally Got the Courage

I finally got brave enough to actually cut H's hair. It's cute on her though and I am glad that her hair kept some curl to it. When I was cutting her bangs she said that she wanted me to cut the rest of her hair and have short hair. So I did!

What a Wonderful Husband

Yesterday my dear husband stayed home with all three kids so that I could go grocery shopping. While I was gone he read books and played with them and had them sitting down eating lunch when I got home. Then a little bit later after he had ventured off to the working world, after I had put the groceries away, got the kids down for nap and rests, got chicken prepared and in the stove to cook (and somewhere in there I had some lunch), I went to start the laundry and discovered that he had sorted and started the laundry. What a wonderful husband I have! I love him! I am so blessed!
