Look What I Found In My Drive!

I came home Tuesday to find this 2009 Yukon in my driveway. At first I thought it was the wrong driveway then I thought who is at my house? Brylie had question after question about why this car was at our house. So she unbuckled herself and ran as fast as she could to see if Daddy was inside. She wanted to see if it was our new car. Lawson and I followed close behind her b/c we too wanted to know more. I was trying very hard not to go there and get excited about maybe it being ours. But I must say it was too hard. I look at Matt and asked, "who car is in the driveway." He just laughed and said, "Happy Anniversary". Then he laughed again and said,"No, not really my four wheel drive is out in my truck and so that is my rent car." Brylie's face dropped and she told him she really like the new car and wanted to take it for a ride. The whole ride she kept telling us reasons why she liked the new car and how we needed to keep it. The funny thing was the next day she didn't forget about the rent car. She woke up and asked if Daddy was at work then asked if we got to keep the rent car today to drive. She was really wanting to take it to dance class to show off. Now I love my car and have not wanted an new car but I must say this new ride has given me some car envy.

How about my Cowboys!

Each year I go and have the kids pictures taken in their Halloween Costumes but this year I could not bring myself to that fun. LOL Matt and I took the kids to the park to take pictures. The pictures are a far cry from the professionals ones but they are cute. Since poor little Lawson was born I have always had the kids do some kind of theme, so why should this year be any different, right? I did do something a little more big BOY because he is getting older. He absolutely loves the helmet which so surprised me. Thanks again Sarah D. for allowing me to borrow his outfit. I searched and searched to find one in his size but could not find anything small enough. I can't wait till Halloween so I can post more great pictures.

Fall Fun

Today we took the kids to the little pumpkin patch in town for pictures. They did great but neither of them really wanted to be photographed. You can read that in some of the pictures in Bry's face. Also here are some pictures of a few weeks ago when we went to Fort Worth's bioticial gardens with some of our friends. That was a hot but fun day. We need to do something like that again girls. Ok I could not get the slide show to work right so here are the pics.

Everyday funnies

1. Last Friday I kept Brittney's kids, they are almost exactly the same age as mine. We both have girls six days apart and then boys 4 months apart. I agreed to keep them while Britt cleaned out her house because they just moved. I had all the kids playing, sharing and getting along. That can be very hard at times especially with our sassy girls. I put the kids outside so I could cook lunch. I had the windows open so I could see and hear them. I could see the girls playing but could only hear the boys laughing. First warning sign. I went outside to find the boys marching with their shoes and socks on in the dog's water bowls. I took off the wet cloths and took them in to eat lunch. I had the two boys at opposite ends of the table and the girls at the bar eating their lunch. Everyone was eating great I left the room to go into the living room only a few feet away. I then could hear laughter from the boys again and the girls screaming. I walked back into the room to find the boys squeezing their juice boxes out across the table and having juice box wars. They were so wet and sticky from all the fun. Man, from that moment on I knew I could not take my eyes off those little guys or they would fed off each other and I would have another big mess to clean up.

2. Today Matt took the kids to the movie while I had Bunco. They passed by a restaurant that had closed down. She told her daddy that they had to close because they ran out of money. But it was ok because the government was going to bail them out. I just died laughing when he told me this. Man, where did she hear this? Then I decide to ask her where she might of heard this. She told me she is just smart not only that she is smarter than a fifth grader. I must say we are now vowing to not turn on our T.V. anymore she is sponge.

What a Soiree

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Like "Fancy Nancy", Brylie loves, loves. loves. a soiree.(that french for party) If you have a little girl and have not read any of the "Fancy Nancy" books, run do not walk, to the nearest bookstore to pick it up. It is a Hoot!

She is Brylie's favorite character right now so this years birthday was Fancy Nancy. She was bombarded with everything fancy for her birthday...from books to outfits, nail polish, make-up,necklace,games,puzzles, and trinkets she wears in her hair. Brylie can proudly say she now owns all the "Fancy Nancy" books. We also have the boa, tutu, slippers, and her dog Frenchy.

This birthday was so must fun. I rented tables and dress up trunks. The girls loved it! Sorry, boys but I hope you had fun playing in the sand box.

Grandparents are GRAND!

My parents came down this week to spend the week with Miss Brylie and all us... since they would not be able to come for her party. They made her feel oh, so special this week. I am so glad they got to spend good quality time with the kids. The kids just ate it up and are still a little rotten after they left.

My parent got to do a lot with us this week. We went to the park ,they watched Brylie in dance class, went to Chuck E Cheese, shopped, ate out a lot at Brylie's faves, and had a Fancy Nancy party at school for Brylie.

It just so happened Brylie was learning letter "Bb" this week. So I told my mother and being the kindergarten teacher she is created this great school party plan. She and Brylie dressed up and read the book "Fancy Nancy- Bonjour Butterfly" and made butterflies with blow pops bodies and then had b-day cupcakes. We are still talking about that great day. Cute but sad I let Bry look at the pictures before I posted them and she just laughed and said, " We look fancy, my GawGaw and me." Then she said she could not look at them any more or she might cry because she is missing her GawGaw so much! Oh, the drama around here.

I also wanted to thank my grandmother because she is so GRAND! My Grambie made her oh, so good meatloaf just for me. I loved it! I just wished I could have shared it with you long with a good visit. Thanks again for thanking of me. I love you and miss you! I guess I am sad too and miss my Grambie. Maybe I might know where Miss Bry gets her drama from?

Life and Times of My Two Year Old!

Well, let the stories begin. Tuesday was the second day of Little Hearts School and I already have a story to tell, on my sweet little boy. It was the classes 1st day of Bible class with Mrs. Danielle. The kids always love her and can't wait to go to her class because she is so much fun. The class was sitting in a little circle on their bottoms. Well, except Lawson and a few of his friends. (Yes, Brittany if you are reading this, your little guy was one of them.) They would not sit up instead the boys involved all laid down on their backs. Mrs. Danielle got on to these guys but they would not sit up. She gave them the teacher look and the stern voice and even the pinch on the foot, meaning please sit up. Non of the boys would sit up. She started the bible story in hopes that they would join in and sit up but instead my little class clown started snoring and pretending to be a sleep. The other boys thought that was funny. So now instead of having one snorer she has four snoring boys. I just laughed when I heard this story. I guess boys will be boys? I am going to write this one down in the baby book but if anything else happens again like this my little guy will be in trouble. I should hope and pray this is not the start of life as the class clown.

Now on a positive note Lawson has been in underwear all week long and has stayed dry. He has even took a few naps in big boy underwear because I just forgot to change him. He is doing great in his big boy bed. He takes great naps and goes to bed awesome. Not every night but at least two or three nights a week he like to get up at about 3:30 or 4:00. He comes in our room and gets in our faces and says,"Hi Mommy". We march him back to bed and tell him it is night time. He will look at us with his sad face and say, "No, Mommy". I hope he will get tried of this very soon.
