Random Photos

I have some random photos from the month of January that I never got listed. Soon it will be Feb. I can't believe it.

Here are the kids watching the TCU game. Stitch has a dream of going to TCU. (Texas Christian University) Having a snack after school.
Painting with her new Magic Wonder Paint set. Thanks Uncle Fillmore and family.

I love to sneak in their rooms and capture a picture of them sleeping.

Doing her Math...

I know I am her mommy but I think she is the most beautiful little girlShe is such a good mommy to her Baby Hannah. Thanks Grammy for the diaper bag, and all the stuff to go with it. I feel like I have another kid =)

Precious sleeper

Finally A bed!!!!

Poor Stitch has been without a bed for about a year now. It's a long crazy story, he had a bed and it broke, so he slept on his sisters bed. Then we got him a cool bed that was a bunk with a desk underneath it and it was a full on the top. Well he hated it, as it was a super tall bed and he was at the ceiling and no matter where we put the bed, he had to fight his ceiling fan to get down. So we sold that bed. Then we bought him a twin mattress. He slept on that for almost a year on the floor. I know poor guy. He hand Dad made this bed together. They went to the steel store, picked it all out and welded, sanded, and painted the bed. We still need to find something to go on each post, but that is still in discussion as to what we are doing. Basketballs, football helmets, we are not sure.

Anyway here is his new BED!!!!!!!

Eye Injury

Some of you may have already heard about Minnie's encounter with our kitty. Peanut is a very good kitty and she usually tolerates a lot. I did not see what happened, but I don't fully blame the cat. Her eye looked so much worse the day of the injury. With her crying it looked as if she was bleeding everywhere, her tears and blood mixed together causing her to freak out more. It was actually just a cut on the eyelid. I finally got her calmed down and she ended up falling asleep. The funny thing was as soon as she fell asleep, Peanut cuddled up with her as to say she was sorry. The white stuff on her eye is neosporin. I didn't want her eye to get infected, as I am sure our kitty does not have the cleanest paws. She uses a litter box. GROSS!!!
It looks so much better now, just a slight cut. It seems silly now but I kept thanking God it was not her actual eye. :)

Botanic Gardens

Yesterday we went to the Botanic Gardens. It was a gorgeous day out. Low 70's. We brought a picnic lunch and met our friend Bambi along with her Mommy and Granny, and her Great Granny. The kids loved going on walks, sitting by the water, and playing with the ball. It was a very relaxing day. I captured some really cute pics. :)

Bambi and Minnie.....too sweet They loved to watch the fountain
All ready to go home

How do you do this?

I love these back side shots of them, just too cute. Minnie Loves Bambi so much, this is her other cousin according to her. :)

Computer Research

Stitch uses the computer almost every day with Home School. I just love all the research he can do from the comfort of our home. Here he is doing research on Martin Luther King Jr. He has a list of people he wants to learn about. I love it!!!!!

Artist

We have an artist in the family. Minnie loves to sit at the table and doing anything artistic. Her favorite is painting pictures.

Movie night

The other night the kids and I did a movie night. They love when we do this. I generally don't sit still long enough through a kid movie, and if I do, I am usually folding laundry, etc. The kids love it when I actually sit and watch it. We do Netflix and when the movies "Night at the Museum 2" came, we all watched it. We popped popcorn, and snuggled up on the couch.

Dishes and laundry will be there tomorrow but the memories I make with my kids are the present. :)

Minnie waiting for the movie, she was so excited!!!! Stitch putting in the movie, making sure we are all set. :)

Cowgirl Minnie

Minnie loves to play dress-up. She is usually in some form of a princess dress, and shoes. On an average day she changes clothes about 15 times. She got into Stitch's chest where I keep all his baby, lil boy stuff that I just can't part with. Here she is trying out his cowboy gear, she even had on a pair of his old boots. The gun is hers I promise Stitch did not have a pink gun. :)

Thumb Sucker

If any of you have had a thumb sucker then you know how difficult it is to stop the thumb sucking!!! There are pros and cons to having a thumb sucker. It never got lost, I never had to spend money on getting a new one, I always had it, never worried about another kid taking it. etc......the bad thing, well I can't get rid of it.

A friend of mine posted about praying for grace to get you through and know when the time was right. I had never thought of praying for thumb sucking. I can say that we still suck our thumb, but only when we are tired. She goes all day without her thumb, this is a huge step.

This was proudly all Minnie's doing, I decided she would let go when she was ready. I would worry when she was in college. Hey it would keep the boys away right?

Birthday Party at Build A Bear Workshop

Our baby on her special day!!!!! She picked out the Valentine dog and named him Hugs

This was the first time ever that Minnie Mouse had her very own Birthday Party with friends. We have done dinners before with family. Her birthday is so close to Christmas that we usually just do something small. This year since it was the big "5" we decided to do a party for her. She chose Build A Bear Workshop, her favorite place. It was so much fun, there were 7 little girls, all too cute!!!! I really didn't get enough pictures. I had wanted to take more but I was having too much helping all the girls pick out their bears or dogs or bunnies. :)

Thank you to all our friends who made her day so special.
