Showering like a BIG girl! We have been looking forward to this for a long time!



Milo "laying down"

who's a big boy?

Smashing green beans

I just need to get the hint...he doesn't like green beans.

Lazy Sundays

Can you believe that some days we just sit around watching TV?

Saturday morning

Letting Mommy and Daddy get some more Zzzz's.

Music Class 10/6

The kids missed Music Class the other day because we were in Kentucky. So we went to a different location for a "special" music class. They kids had a gerat time and afterwards the teacher let us play with some of the instruments we sing about all the time. And of course there was dancing. Enjoy the videos!

Pink Day

More PJ day

If she is not with her BFF Amelia, then you will always find Millie with her best bud Bailey. This is Bailey striking a pose for the camera. Millie asked me on the way home, if after she grew out of all of her pajamas, could she please get some jammies with Dora on them? I am sure Santa was listening.



Are these girls tall? Or is Millie short? These are some of her pajama buddies who refused to stand still for a photo.






And over in Milo's classroom it was PJ snack time.









I brought all the nighttime books I could find into the classes so the kids could read them. Here my kids are reading some bedtime literature on the way home from school.

Pajama Day at school!

Daddy's Birthday

Shopping for Daddy's Birthday gift at Lowes



This was the gift to Mat from the kids, a Sobakawa Cloud Pillow!

singing time

Making up her own lyrics.


This cracks me up every time. Whenever this song comes on Millie immediately pretends she is asleep. It.is.hilarious and makes me laugh each and every time.

Dancing to some Diego


She is very proud that she can now pump her legs to make the swing go!


Swinging like a monkey

eating my carrots

finally, one veggie that the both eat!


Many times we wake up in the morning and find this...


Making applesauce

Heading to Kentucky

We went to my beautiful cousin Jennie's wedding this weekend. A 4.5 hour trip with just me and the kids (Mat went to Florida for the Gator game). These are iPhone shots of the weekend.

So we started out with a quick bath because Milo had a "little" accident in his crib.


So after getting started 2 hours late, we were on the road. We lasted about 1.5 hours of the trip talking and singing songs till Mommy needed a break. I asked if they wanted a DVD and they very eagerly agreed.

DVD Coma


DVD Coma


A happy Mommy who is listening to MY music which is a rarity these days.


I wasn't sure how I was going to get Millie to the potty while Milo was sleeping. Wrangling two kids in a fast food bathroom sounded like a nightmare. So I came up with this solution. Portable potty! I was going to do it on the side of the road but with semi truck whizzing by, I was scared to even open my door. So, this was our compromise. Worked perfectly all the way up and all the way back.




Burning off some steam




We finally made it and in good time!


Millie was singing "we in Kentucky, we in Kentucky". I think she thought Kentucky was a store. We checked into the hotel and road the kids "time machine"



We waiting for Mom, Dad, Courtney and Chloe by checking out the hotel.




Milo trashed our room by taking every tissue out of the box.


My parents and C & C finally arrived and we went to dinner. We finished dinner with some tasty treats.








We burned off that sugar with a little night swimming. Millie looooooooooooooved the hot tub and didn't want to get out.


After the kids went to bed, Kari and I pretended we were in jr. high and I did her hair. She's pretty.

Apple Pics round 1

I have lots to share but I just had to post these first.

I know Milo is not looking and that is a bummer. But I think it's cute anyway.



I knew as soon as I took this picture, how great it was going to be. And it didn't dissapoint. This boy melts.my.heart.



Oh yes. Had to get one of these shots.



Mat and Millie were picking apples and I said, "Milo, can you sit right here?". He was playing with his Apple water bottle. He was talking...and then...all of a sudden...he looked at me...and gave me this face. He might be perfection.



Don't worry there are only about 200 other good ones. More posts to come.

Red River Valley

Who doesn't love a little Red River?



And just cause she is so cute, here it is again! And if you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true



PS: "Do not hasten to bid me adieu" might be the cutest words ever to come from a 3 year old!

"Mickey"

To say that we have been much more lax with the TV watching of Milo than we were with Millie, would be an understatement. As seen here. He regularly now grabs the remote and says "Mickey".

Field trip

One of our friendly neighbors donated a computer to Millie's classroom!!! They have been without and Mrs. Laura has lots of lessons that teach the kids skills on the computer. We were happy to have this addition to the classroom. Millie's class also went on a field trip to the Dekalb Farmers Market. Millie missed the last field trip because she was on vacation. Her first time on the bus and it seems like she liked it!



And then we sang...


And sang some more...
