Just checking in

I just thought I would check in, but I really have nothing exciting to report. So, if this is the most boring post ever, don't say I didn't warn you. :)

1. I'm so excited that LOST is back on!! Jacob and I love this show! They were so nice and gave us three episodes to watch to start this season! It's going to be crazy, I'm excited!

2. Sarah had her 16 month check up. (is that terrible that I put TV news ahead of our precious daughter! It's not like that I promise!) Everything went fine with that. It's always nice to hear that they are right on track with their development. She's still a woman of few words, but has been adding to her vocabulary more lately. She's so funny. She loves to do whatever Adam does & she is a little show off when people think she's funny!

3. Adam has been sick this week. Well, Sarah has too. They have the cold stuff that is going around. No fun!

4. The weather has been beautiful the last few days! We had fun meeting up with our playgroup friends for an outside lunch at Central Market. The only bad thing was Sarah had a little run-in with a baby bully. I had to break out my mean mommy voice. After the fact, it was kinda funny. (don't laugh Jara! just kidding!)

5. This won't be exciting to anyone except me, but I finally got my planner. Seriously, for someone who might be slightly on the type-A side of life, 23 days into a new year without a planner is not easy! I was so excited when it arrived today.

So, there you go, our somewhat boring little week!! Hope yours was good!

Happy Birthday Baylee!

A few cute new pics


Just in case you were wondering

According to Adam:
1. Blind people can see germs.
2. Batman made the Grand Canyon using his weapons.
3. God is bigger than hotels. And gas stations.

Just in case you were wondering.

Funny boy again

Week one of 09- so far, so good on the resolutions. I've been working out, did one scrapbook page (baby steps) and I've been driving Jacob's car this week, so I haven't had to worry about keeping my car clean. :) (that's not why I've had his car!)

I have to tell you a few funny things Adam said:

1. He saw my robe laying on the bed, then a few minutes later I went to hang it up. When I got back he said, "hey what'd you do with that"...pausing for a minute to think of the word..."you know, that pink...shower coat." :) I don't know why but I thought that was the funniest thing to call it, a shower coat.

2. I was tucking him in & saying prayers with him. I started to say "I pray Adam will grow up to be a boy who loves God" but he inturrpted me halfway through. So it actually went more like "I pray that Adam will grow up to be __________" As I paused briefly to collect my thoughts, Adam jumped in and said.......

"Peter Pan"

I'm not kidding. That boy just cracks me up! I hope you all had a nice week too!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Since I haven't taken a single picture in 09, here's one from last year. Isn't it amazing how much they grow & change in a year!
I hope this is a wonderful year for all of you! We are spending the day taking down Christmas decorations, getting things organized (you know I love doing that!), and making some resolutions. I go all out with a list of goals I'd like to work on for the year. I know, I'm a dork. In addition to the usual lose weight & eat healthy, I'm also planning to keep my car clean, learn to sew, and get my scrapbooks caught up! What are your resolutions this year?

Happy New Year!

Baton Rouge Trip

The kids & I took an after Christmas trip to Baton Rouge to visit my family there. It was my first time to travel alone with both kids & my first time to fly with kids! It was a bit hectic, but what was I expecting! Really, once we got all checked in, it went pretty smoothly. We had a nice time visiting with everyone once we got there. I didn't get very many pictures this time but here are a few.

Adam & Sarah's first plane ride:

Adam & Savannah catching up:
Mamaw reading with the boys:
Swing time with Papaw. He & Adam had a lengthy discussion about pirates.
A really fun Christmas display that I used to go to when I was a kid! Lots of scenes like this:

Christmas Pictures

Here are some pictures from Christmas. The first few are from Mom & Dad's house. Mom made cookies for the kids to decorate. Don't you love their beautiful tree?! The rest are from our house on Christmas eve & Christmas day!
