I made a TUTU!!!!

I made this the night before Reese's birthday. It only took me an hour to do, and I was very happy with myself when I finished. I put it on her bear when I was done, so she would see it first thing when she awakes. She saw it and came out of her room, yelling at me that she got a TUTU! I am so glad that she liked something that I made for her!
And, she is absolutely darling in it when she is showing me her twirly dance!
I {love} her to pieces..........

Brody.

He did this to himself, I swear!
He always gets lured into playing dolls with Reese

He loves Reese's bike, poor guy has mostly girl stuff to play with!

He was literally picking a fight with Tinkerbell pinata,

Look at his face, he was huffing at her!

And, he is already trying to pick up on the girls! lol

Brody is getting soo big soo fast! He is very loving and listens surprisingly well! He has been attempting to jump off the couch, isn't he too little for that? Following Reese around is what he loves to do, and take whatever she has! These two are such fun kiddos!

Happy Birthday Reesie!

Reese turned 3! She had such a wonderful party with a few of her friends. She wanted a Tinkerbell theme, so I tried my best! I got really into it, I know that sounds sad huh! But, I made these really fun wings for the girls and swords for the boys. They decorated them with all sorts of fun stuff! We had a huge pinata, that all the kids loved. Jake had to carve a stick and make a club to open it! It was that much of a heavy duty pinata, it was hilarious! It was nice to have a little party with her friends. Reese has developed such a sweet personality. She is SO kind to her friends and notices different behaviors. She still loves her blankie, and wants to cuddle with it always! She wants to talk about Jesus at the breakfast table...I should learn from her! Now that she is 3, all she talks about is going to class {pre-school} and tells me that I can't teach her! Jake and I are really lucky parents to be blessed with her life and we love her very much! She gives us soo many fun adventures and says the darnedest things! I can't believe she is already 3, it's going by way too fast!


My sweet friend got Reese this apron for her birthday. Her mother is a crafty person and made it for Reese. It is the cutest thing ever! Reese is in the kitchen with me soo much more now and is always wanting to help, but first "my apron mom"! I love it soo much, I asked her to make me a matching one!!!!

A little Late Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve day at Sea World. It was a great day, the weather was beautiful! We thought of going to the beach like last year, but we wanted to use our free pass to the park. The day was great, the kids had a blast. There is a Seasame Street play park and that is where the kids spent alot of time. We saw the Polar Express in 3D, thank goodness it was only about 10 minutes because we were barely lasting. Reese loved the penguine exhibit; thinking it was "Happy Feet" movie. Jake got to ride the Atlantis, and as you can tell on his face, it was a THRILL! Brody enjoyed his time most in the sand pit, the kid is always playing with something dirty! Jake and I ended our night at 11pm, yes we are party poopers. Mostly me, I was really tired after a long day! Overall, we brought in the new year with new expectations of ourselves and are looking forward to "2010"!
