Happy Easter

to one and to all!

A beautiful Day for us - Christ has risen and wonderful family time!

Just some of the things that made this day so special:

* easter sweater and matching argyle socks for Logan (he picked it out)
* pink polka dots for Lexi
* Grandma and Poppy sharing the day with us - love them!
* yummy waffles and biscuits and gravy
* easter egg hunt in the muddy back yard
* coloring easter eggs - yes we were late but with the beach trip... this is what worked for us this year - thanks Grandma!
* Yummy Blackberry Cobbler from the Peach Park in Alabama!
* amazing Masters Tournament watching Kenny do an incredible job and even though he didn't quite pull it out - have the incredible class he always shows. Proud of him!

The lisping has now begun...

So guess what finally fell out today.....


Wow what a gap there is now! And no end in sight - only one of the adult teeth is barely even pressing on the skin so they are a long time coming! So this is the cute little (big) gap grin we will be treated with everyday! It was so funny today when shortly after he lost the tooth- he tried to say the word 'pennies' and the lisp has appeared. Cute!


A look back, for Valentine's day - I decided to make a full fondue meal for the family and our friend Karrie. This was the kids first time trying fondue. They were such good sports about trying new things especially when it took us 5 hours to complete our meal!! Logan's favorites were apples in the cheese, chicken in the bouillion and just eating the rice krispee treats. Lexi's favorites were the celery in the cheese, chicken in the bouillion and just eating the pound cake. No these silly children have STILL not completely decided to embrace the magic of chocolate! Who's are they anyway???

Mr. Hole in his face

FINALLY lost his 3rd tooth! Now this tooth has been loose for literally 4 months!! About time it finally came out! To add to it - it was so completely loose for the past 10 days that Logan has been twisting it and shoving it outside his lips - pretty nasty looking. His gums were so red from all of the playing he did with it but he just wouldn't yank the thing out (or let us near it). Finally Saturday night he spent the night with our friend Karrie and when Karrie was tickling him and saying she was going to yank it - she touched it with a kleenex and it came out! Complete accident (or so she tells us!) That thing was barely holding on by anything!

Now this is Logan's 3rd lost tooth but the first two were loose long enough also that the tooth behind had grown in so much that you really did not see a hole in his mouth when they came out. So this hole in his face is brand new to us!! I am actually having a hard time getting used to it. I look at this kid with the big 'ole gap and realize how much he is growing up!

Not ready yet....

Why I love Christmas...

* Santa Claus driving a Metro Bus around Northern Kentucky - made my day!
* Lexi 'reading' a book she got as a present. (It was about the birth of Jesus) - "You better not pout ... Baby jesus was born... he sees you when your sleeping... Mary was there...." Too cute!!!!
* Having cookies to eat!
* Seeing Lexi wander around in her new Princess Santa Hat
* How EVERY single item on Logan's Christmas list is Legos - even the $499 Star Wars Legos! Boy does he dream big!!
* How Lexi's Christmas list is random things she cut out of magazines and are things I know darn well she would never play with!!
* Knowing that my hubby will be home with us for a couple weeks straight!
* Sitting in 'my' chair next to our lit Christmas tree
* Friends and Families like you!!

Merry Christmas to you all!

I told them they better be good...

Guess who just came to our house!!




The kids were absolutely shocked but had a blast showing him what they wanted for Christmas! He even knew that Logan is a good reader and that he reads AR books and he knew that Lexi is really using her words well these days!! He also told him to be sure we leave him cookies... Chocolate Chip!!!!








So remember
He sees you when your sleeping
He knows when your awake
He knows if you've been bad or good




SO BE GOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!! (this last picture was from Breakfast with Santa yesterday)

My hubby doesn't think that I deserve to be a mom...

(yes he was kidding)

there are just some times when the kids do and say something that I really should not laugh at and encourage but darn it I just can't help it!!!!!!!!!!!

So at dinner today - the kids had spaghetti in a bowl and a salad in a bowl and everyone was eating and chatting. Lexi was eating a piece of bread that was crumbling all over herself since she was not eating over the table.

Daddy - 'Lexi eat over the plate so you don't get the crumbs all over you"
Lexi - (she looks around...) 'I don't have a plate'
Me - thankful I didn't have a drink in my mouth since I burst out laughing!!!
Daddy - (his favorite saying when I fail at restraint) 'you don't deserve to be a mom'

I love kids! Too funny!
