11 already!

Wow! Where has the time gone! You are 11 already Dylan. I so want you to slow down. 

I remember the day that you were born as if it was just yesterday. 11/5/99.

Mommy went into the hospital actually on 11/4/99 around 4 p.m. because I could not bare the pain of being pregnant anymore. So they agreed to induce me and try to get you out quickly. Well quickly did not work, I was in labor with you over 24 hours. Finally around 3:24 p.m. I finally had you. You had to be taken directly to the nursery because you were having trouble breathing. So here I am (picture above) feeding you in the nursery. 

I love you Dylan.

Then & Now

Advent Calendar

A New Tradition

 I love blogs and can say I am a blog reader stalker. I have my favorites and one of them is Alie Edwards. On November 5th she posted on her blog about Advent Action Cards   she created. 
I am always looking for new ideas traditions to do with my family. I just loved this idea. So for being my first time I believe I did a pretty good job. It could look better but next year's will be better. 
My mother-in-law cut the blocks of fabric for me, i then sewed them together and then put clear plastic over them. 

Here's a look at the blocks cut out. 

So I sewed the fabrics together and add red around the edges...

 Here i added some of the numbers.

So i sewed the plastic on and added the sides....
Do you like it?
It's cute right?

Day 1: Thank your teacher for being your teacher.

Here is our calendar hanging on the tree. Dylan is turning Day 2 over. 
Day2: Go pick out our family ornament. 




So this will be one of our traditions every year. I am excited about it. 
Thanks Alie for the great idea with the Advent Cards. 


Good night All.
Queen April 

Cherished Times

Look at my little ones so into their Daddy reading a book to them. 

I just love this picture. 

RECYCLE

Recycling

For about 2 or more years I have been collecting cans at work so that we could recycle. I have always just put a HEB bag and tied it to a drawer in the kitchen. I have been doing this for a long time. The bags get filled pretty quickly, since we have most of the refrigerator stocked up with sodas and water and I drink about 3 a day. (very true). Yesterday, Monday the 8th one of my co-workers came by and said, "have you seen your new recycling box?" I said, "Oh my! Is the bag full?" Well I went to the back and "ta da" there was this cute box that the housekeeper "Gabrielle" made for my cans. Check it out, now I do not have to be changing out these HEB bags all the time. 

  

Wasn't this nice of her? I love my box. So good-bye HEB bags and Hello to my new Recycle Box. 

Thank you Gabriella. 

 

 

Fire Station Field Trip

Hannah and her classmates went on a field trip to Fire Station 1 on October 28, 2010.

I take the pictures for both classes and I decided I am going to make each child a 5x7 picture that will be like this. I will just change the individual picture to theirs.

Isn't this adorable. I love it. 

I can't wait to see the teachers face when i give them these. 

Time Out

All because you did not want to share.....

 I get home and trying to relax and have a conversation with my hubby but of course we get loved bombarded with kids. Hannah who is 5 and Micah who is 4 just have this Love/Hate relationship right now. One minute they are loving each other and the next thing they want to ring each other's neck. I get home to Hannah fussing about how she always let's Micah in her room and let's him play with her things but he never wants to share....

Yes the word.

SHARE

So I busted Micah's bubble and called him over to where I was- took the toys away and asked him to sit there.... I could not help resist but to take a picture. He was so mad at me...But that is what happens when you don't listen to the WARDEN Mom. 

So next time just.........

LISTEN

A review of "Halloween"

Finally......

My kids having been waiting for this day to come so that they could dress up. I let my little ones wear their custome the 1st day we bought them and I had to tear them off of them. (not). I come to find out Hannah already had riped her dress....but she says, "it was already like that momma"....

yeah right Hannah...tell me another line because tht will not work. lol

Strawberry Shortcake (a.k.a) Hannah

Freddy Krueger (a.k.a) Dylan

Luigi (Wigi-as Micah says) (a.k.a) Micah

They were so stoked to get dressed.

So we had to go back to our house just so that the kids could stop

by Mr and Mrs. Webster's house. They were excited to see our kids. 

Mrs. Webster was ready with her camera just to take a their picture.

We love our neighbors especially my kids.

Micah is always so rough with Mr. Webster, he always wants to kick,

punch and fight him. I don't know why.  The kid comes out of

Mr. Webster when my kids are around.

Look at this cutie.....Yes....My nephew Devin is a Duckie....
Doesn't he look adorable.....

 I love Devin.....

 Dylan and Devin....
Devin was so fascinated with Dylan's face...he just wanted to touch it.

 Hannah and her friend Noah....

 Hannah- Lexi- Chloe

Madi-Lexi-Chloe

Michael Jackson and his Geek Friend.

We finished the night going to Auntie Linda's to see Haley and Reese.

My kids had a great night....As soon as we got home we bathed them and within seconds they were passed knocked out.

"Uncommon"

My Daughter is so "Uncommon"....she does not follow others but is herself. I came home today from work and this is how she was dressed. She dressed herself all by herself and she was so happy with her selection. As you see she had no problem POSING at all. I just love the way she is.....Just HANNAH!
