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!

ps - still can't upload pics yet....

Pictures coming Soon

I hope to be posting pictures of Lexi's 4th birthday and Halloween soon. I am having printer errors so I can't read my photo card. But I promise I will get them up soon!!!

Have a very Happy Halloween and enjoy your weekend! It's a long one here with no school on Monday & Tuesday!

Maybe not the most graceful

but she loves it!!! And we love watching her! One good thing coming from my surgery is the fact that Todd and my mom have gotten to take Lexi to her dance class and watch her do her best! She may not be the smoothest dancer but BOY does she try to do everything and she LOVES it! I know Todd for one had a blast getting to see her!

Today mom even took her camera and captured this amazing picture of Lexi enjoying the chance to wear the big 'Cinderella' tutu. Wow how cute is that!!

She also got this fun pic of Lexi and Emmy dancing away. I am so SO happy she enjoys this so much because WE have all decided that watching her is the highlight of our week!

just a quick post

To say we are all still here and doing okay! I am recovering well from my surgery and just have to admit I am getting nothing done!! Which of course is the goal of recovering!!! We were crazy the 10 days between Disney and my surgery and then have just been figuring out our life with only one driver and only one parent that can do much of anything while the other hangs out on the chair just watching everyone!! Tough transition!

Can't believe my little one turns 4 years old in one week!!!!!!!!! Wow!!! Boy time has changed!

I promise to get posting soon as I start getting more things accomplished! Lots of love to you all!

The Happiest Place on Earth!!!

We were blessed enough to get to go again to Disney World with the kids and with Grandma! We had so much fun!!! The first thing the kids wanted to do was to take Grandma on It's A Small World. It was really so sweet. Here are a hog pog of pics from the week so you can see how much fun we all had!


We were once again down there during the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and this year the kids decided to dress up as Indiana Jones and Jasmine from Aladdin.






Okay - so totally notice Lexi's reaction to seeing Snow White! Lexi, Mommy & Grandma got to have lunch with the princesses in Cinderella's Castle and Lexi looked forward to this for months. Once there - this is what she did when she we saw the princesses!! BUT - after we had seen all of them she looked at me and said "I want to see them again mommy!!!"
