Big Girl Talk!

Since Sydnee learned to talk she has always said Da Woe for thank you and we have never corrected it because I love it so much... In fact it got the whole family saying it and it becomes a habit when we go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings me my meal I say Da woe! My friend Abbey has told me repeatedly... Not every one knows what Da Woe means. I forget. Last Night I told Sydnee to tell her daddy thank you for dinner and I about cried when the words THANK YOU were spoken. I told Drew that she is growing up! But Sydnee is not dumb and she knows that we love Da woe so she will throw it in with a smile!

Luv a Luv a Luv a You!

When I was a little girl my dad would always say to me I luv a luv a luv a you Clicker Dawn! It was our saying and even as I was growing up I never got tired of the saying. In fact it always brightened my day when he would sneak in a little luv a luv a luv a you Clicker Dawn before I would go somewhere or to bed.
I waited for the day when I could share the same connection that my dad and I had with my own little girl... I finally got it! Sydnee has been a talking machine and sometimes you wonder if she is going to shut up....even just for a minute. But it never tires when I am frustrated with her or trying to do something when she smiles and says "luv a luv a luv a you MOMMY!"
You can't stay mad at that!!! Especially when she adds in... "I wanna kiss you mommy"

I could never have imagined the joys of motherhood until I became a mother myself, I am so content and happy... we have a wonderful little family!

Cousin FUN!

During the Superbowl Sydnee and Jace really where nowhere to be seen. They were off playing by themselves... They surprised us with there own little business..." Making ice cream and Sydnee Oats" What wonderful imaginations kids have!

CROUP!

We took Sydnee to the doctor last night to an after hours visit. She has croup...Its going around bad! I didn't know much about croup until last night but she is on a steroid and Tylenol for her fevers. She is doing OK she just gets these little coughing spells and has a hard time catching her breath after. Sydnee was so sick she was having mommy wait on her hand and foot. She got breakfast in bed, and enjoyed her new movie Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa.

Kaeson's new Do!

Kaeson has got some super blond hair and he doesn't have much of it. But he had a huge mo hawk and it was time for me to part with the little bit of hair he did have...

Bumping up and Down in my Lil Red Wagon!

Sydnee has this old Barney movie that we bought her...compliments to the DI. This movie is like when Barney first became a hit when I was little, the Barney in it is a super dark purple and the acting is really bad, but that doesn't matter to Syd she loves it! They have a lot of songs on it that she has now picked up and sings all the time... One being "Bumping Up and Down In My Little Red Wagon" Here she is dragging her little brother into her play time and singing the entire time!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!?

Superbowl XXXVIII Cardinals vs. Steelers!

Well I lost a six pack of sprite to my dad but it was fun anyway! We went to my parents and had hogies and lots of treats!

Drew's New Do!

Drew wanted to see how long he could grow his hair.... It was pretty long but then he couldn't take it any more. He refuses to let me make an appointment for his hair....so I braved it and cut his hair. I say braved it because my husband is a little picky about how he likes his hair cut and previous times... he has ended up doing it himself or being bald!

I have to admit I did pretty good this time because I only had to fix two things! Yea me!
