Say Cheese :)

Our giving tree

I have been extremely terrible at keeping up with my blog this month. i am not really sure why. I love this time of year, but at the same time, I find myself a little sad. Just a small reminder that Mike is no longer here with us to share the Holidays with.

Please excuse the yucky floor in the background, we are in a floor process....

Minnie playing with her crazy hair doll........ The only time the cats get this close to her.

I have to take every chance I can to get a photo of him, he always dodges me

Baptism

There really are no words to express the JOY in my heart. The kids were baptised today at church. The best feeling ever. One of the best days of my life. I want to thank our wonderful friends for being there with us. Without them we would have never been blessed with our amazing church. God is Great, and i am so Thankful for all my blessings~!!!!!

this month

I have been really terrible this month with my updating. I really am not even sure why. I had bronchitis at the beginning of the month, and I still have the cough even after antibiotics. I guess I will blame the cough. I did manage to capture some pictures of the kids, but nothing super exciting. I try to get them at least 3 times a week, I know too many pictures, but you never know I may feel someday that I didn't take enough.

Our highlights this month have been.......HHMM

For the first time ever we had a family photo taken:)

Can you believe it Minnie is almost 5 and we have never had a professional family photo done. We did do that. I went to the midnight showing of New Moon. I am one of those crazy fans. read all 4 books in one week. Loved them. I am addicted to books. That must be where Stitch gets it.

Minnie and Hercules...She loved that a kitty was on her shirt too.

One day they were being silly hanging upside down on the couch

Sitting on our bed doing her schoolwork.

Daddy let her have this sucker, her puppy dog face works on him. I don't even know where she got this. I took the picture so I can show her that she wasn't always deprived.

Grinning form ear to ear

He says this is the comfiest shirt he owns.

we had Hot Chocolate as a treat the other night, we even had whip cream :) it was Yummy!!!!

Yummy!!!!

Doing his school work on the computer.

Last Sunday after Church. Aren't they cute?

Next Month

I can't believe that my baby girl will be 5 next month. She has grown up way too fast. Seems like just yesterday she was my teenie little girl. Love you Minnie!!!

Half Way

Stitch recently told me that he is half way to 11. I argued with him, and said you just turned 10. Yeah Mom in April. Oh My Goodness where has the time gone. I was not ready for him to hit double digits. Every day he is growing up. Already 5 foot 2, 96 pounds, and he eats sooooo much. :) Seems just like yesterday he was my little guy. He is in his last year of wearing boy sizes :( We will be in Men's soon, I am really not ready for that. He has turned into such a handsome amazing young man, and I have been told he will break some hearts. I am setting a new rule No Dating till he is 25. :)

Love you Stitch Just some random photos taken of him throughout the week.

Girl Weekend

This past weekend Minnie and I had a much needed Girl Weekend. :) We had originally planned on going to San Marcos for the weekend with Grammy, Aunt Belle, and Boo. There were a few things that came up, so we decided to stay local. We went up to Grammy's House instead. We went to the outlets near her house. We watched girl movies, played games and did lots of shopping. Boo and Minnie had a great time prancing around the house in Grammy's high heels. They were fun to watch. :)

Grammy got both the girls an adorable outfit at Gymboree, we can't wait to wear them. :) We did a fashion show, and I forgot to get pictures. Both Minnie and Boo are skinny little things, and we have to exchange the pants for a smaller size. I am just hoping the 4t will fit Minnie, there is no way a 3t, will be long enough in the legs. (Yes she is 5 next month, and wears a 4t.) She is just tall and skinny.
