My Little Super Hero

It's official, I no longer have any toddlers. My boy is a big boy now. He is THREE! He fell in love with Buzz Light Year just before Christmas but I had already planned him a Superman party. Ugh....he did this to me last year. He was so into Curious George, but just before his 2nd Birthday he fell in love with Nemo. Hummm....next year.....I think the "theme" party has got to go! Despite the cold weather and the rain, we were able to pull off his party indoors but man was everyone sandwiched in. I need a bigger house! Haha......not really, that would mean more to clean!!!

Christmas Morning

Yea....Santa brought the kids exactly what they wanted for Christmas. Then, we made a quick drive to Cleveland and had lunch with my family at a restaurant in Cleveland, and then turned around and came right back home. Whew...what a crazy drive. Not too sure if we will repeat that scenario in the future. We sure do miss Grandma!

Zion Church Play and Christmas Eve

I think these pictures are listed in reverse order of occurrance. The kiddo's were in a church play at Zion and Katie, Rylee and the Parish Family came to watch them. After the play we went to our house for a little Christmas gathering on Christmas Eve. I found a "Family Feud" game on-line that we played for a little while and we found the green pickle in the Christmas tree. We are trying a few new traditions to see which ones stick for the years to come. Ha This is a picture of Jessica and (her now) Ex-boyfriend Dillon.

Are we opening up presents before it's your turn?



I just dearly love this picture. Doesn't she look happy!!!

Mommy was proud of you Jase! You did a good job being a sheep!



Camel on wheels!

Mommy's Work Christmas Party

I can truly say that I work for the best department on campus! Well....at least I think I do! I know I have the best boss! There is a picture of him in here somewhere! Anyway....we had our Christmas party at the Briarcrest Country Club and it included childcare. Whoop....now we are talking. LOL it's just fun to be able to bring them with you and they are there with you, just downstairs at arms reach. I really like it! Anyway....here are a few pictures and we got extremely lucky this year and got Dada home 5 days earlier than what we originally thought. Which reminds me.....he played a dirty trick on me and told me that he got "let go" which left me to thinking he got laid off. I was practically in tears before I picked him up at he airport when he told me that they just had too many people scheduled and needed bed space, so they let some of the people go home early, WITH PAY. So.....whew... Thank you LORD for sending Dada home early!

Zip Line

Oh boy....Daddy came up with this really cool idea about putting up a zip line in our yard for Jase's Birthday party, so that all the kids can fly like Superman. The KIDS love it. It almost made me want to try it out....but NOT REALLY!

Rylee turns 3

Rylee had her birthday party at McDonald's on Rock Prairie. What a great deal. The party package included a movie, the party room, cake, goodie bags and the meal for each child along with access to the play area. I think Teresa said, it was about $7.00 a child. The kids loved it and had a blast! Wow.....now, why do I work so hard to do these "other" parties for my children? Hummm....I must be just crazy! No comment...please!!!

Cassandra's Dec./Christmas Dance Recital

Awe....brother is so proud of his dancing sister. She did a great job performing at the George Bush Presidential Library. Thanks, Aunt Missy, Jessica, Dillon, and Jason for coming to watch me. Wow.....the library put some money into this event.....they were giving away delicious cookies and punch and as many crafts that you were willing to do....all FREE of charge. I really like that word....FREE ;-)
