Britten, Taden, Breck and Sarah had so much fun jumping around today! I wish I had one of these in my backyard at all times!
I love this shot of Sarah in mid air!
Ian even had fun in the little baby section!
Not quite sure about crawling through this thing yet! Maybe next time!
One night we were sitting at the dinner table and Sarah started singing "reproduction, where does the pollen go" when I decided Grease 2 and Mama Mia are probably not the best musicals for my kids to watch. Of course I skip the not so kid friendly parts still... So we finally bought High School Musical which my kids had never seen! They love it, Sarah especially and she says her favorite girl is Sharpae. She also calls it "hysical musical"!! So now we just need to see part 2 and 3!
So, I just watched this on my friends blog and thought it was hilarious!! It is Sesame Streets "Preschool Musical"! I don't know how to upload a YouTube video to my blog so click on the link to watch it! It is pretty funny!!

While I was in bed for over 36 hours with the stomach flu... here are a few things I was thankful for...
My hubby!! He stepped into my shoes and took care of the kids all day and me!! Thanks for the Gatorade and toast!! I think he has a new appreciation for all I do and is wanting to help out a little more!! See there are benefits to having the stomach flu!
My sweet kids!! Britten and Sarah were so concerned that I was sick and both said prayers for me that I would feel better and not throw up anymore!! It was very sweet!
A good book!! In between sleeping and ... I read Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. I just love her name and I love her books! It was a good one.
I was also thankful for Gatorade! I think I drank so much because I was so dehydrated!!
So, today I feel like I am back in the land of the living!! I am still taking it easy but there is much to be done after mom takes a day off.
I'm also totally thankful for my health! Being sick makes you realize how lucky you are to be healthy most of the time!
Also!! on a side note. I noticed in my last post the camera I posted is the D300 when I did an image search I was looking for the D90! That is the camera I got. It still is pretty fancy but not as fancy as the D300!!
Jeff also got me photoshop and I am ready to get learning!! Erin and I are taking a photography class starting Jan. 27th and Lindsay gave me my first lesson in photoshop! I think I may have a new addiction since I kicked the diet coke one!REASON #1: I love going HOME to the house I grew up in! My parents have been in the same house since I was two years old! There is nothing like going home!
REASON #3: I love MEXICAN FOOD!! My favorite would have to be Lupe Tortilla's! I think we usually go the day I arrive and I always go at least 2 or 3 times total! There is nothing like good Mexican Food! YUMMY!
Kim Parker and Stacy Kirkham!! My college Roomie Natalie came too!!
Stacy singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was so funny because they sang so loud in the restaurant and so off key! We were cracking up!
I also went to lunch with my girlfriend's Kristy, Natalie, Lyndol and Judy (Kristy's mom)! Kristy and I have known each other since 5th grade! We used to do gymnastics in the front yard and all sorts of crazy things together! Lyndol, Kristy and I all went to high school together! Those were the days! Lyndol is living in Paris right now and is a very talented artist/photographer/musician... nanny! She does it all!
We will enjoy our memories until we go HOME again!! Thanks MOM, DAD, NANA and PJ for making our visit such a great one!!
Meet "Mr. and Mrs. Dishwashy"! Britten and Sarah spent over an hour the other day washing the dishes! They had so much fun and I told them they were hired! They then proceeded to clean my whole kitchen floor on their hands and knees with wet rags. It was so cute to watch them play together and wash the dishes! I did not tell them I put them in the dishwasher while they were not looking!
This is seriously some of my daily entertainment! I love to watch my kids dance! Check out Britten's mad moves!
This was the inspiration!! Nana and Papa got Sarah this darling hair salon chair with a doll to go with it! Along with the chair comes a comb, brush, rollers and little plastic pretend scissors.
Here is the doll! She is adorable and comes with clothes to change! We opened her up and Sarah said, "Mom I can cut her hair with real scissors because she is my doll!" I then told her no she can't cut the dolls hair with real scissors and can only use the play ones! After we opened the rest of the presents I had a feeling to pick up all the scissors lying around from cutting into the toys. Note: Sarah's cute hair I think it has just grown out from when I had to cut the comb out that Britten got stuck. When dinner time rolled around I was looking for Sarah and found her in the play room with hair all over the place. She had found more scissors at Nana's kids craft desk! Watch the video to see her new do! I called it the Rosie O'Donnell cut which she sported for a few days until I could get her into get a real cut! 
We spent the holidays in Houston this year and have had such a nice and much needed vacation! Christmas Eve was great - my brother Bill and his wife Nicole came over with their kids!
Britten, Caroline and Sarah eating a sugar cookie!
Bill and Grandma Jess!
Christmas pj's! We started this tradition years ago and I love it! Ian went to bed so early so i was not able to get a pic of all the kids together! 
Nicole gave me this cute cupcake stand and Sarah was very excited to put it together and leave some treats for Santa and his elves! She set it up all by herself!
Britten was so excited to get Big Daddy from Santa!
My little Lego man!
Sarah with her stocking goods!
I love this picture of Sarah in her new dress ups! 
Here is Ian Christmas day over at Nana and Papa John's house! He got lot's of presents from his Nana and Papa! We had a yummy dinner with Jeff's parents and a fun filled Christmas night!
Sarah had a dance showcase tonight at her studio. It definitely was the highlight of my busy week! She did such a good job and it was comical to watch! I thought she would get stage fright in front of all the parents but she didn't! I was such a proud mommy tonight!
