The Favorite

We were opening our advent ribbon presents tonight and after Luke unwrapped a Matchbox Car, he exclaimed, "I always knew Grandpa loved me best!" Ha! Does Grandpa even have a clue about what Grandma put on the advent ribbons!?! :)

Funny Faces

We couldn't stop snickering at the faces Sariah can make in my bathroom mirror. :)

Helena Can't Wait to Get Glasses

We know that Helena needs glasses, but all the opthamologists she has seen have told us to wait until she's a little older. She is always stealing our glasses and sunglasses and putting them on. The other day, she was playing with Mr. Potato Head in the boys' room and this is how she came out. :)

ThE HaUnTeD HoUsE

Helena and Sariah just could not wait to put the house together. They tried to do it on their own. I don't know why Emily's math book had to be the foundation.

We waited for DAYS...these guys never dried! I think this Saran Wrap effect is much spookier! :)

Moments before DESTRUCTION!!!

I think Luke's eyes are bigger than his stomach!

Huge Hands

Luke got some Buzz Lightyear gloves for his birthday. Helena has really enjoyed playing with them. :) One lights up and makes laser noises and the other make Karate chop noises when you move your hand up and down. It's pretty funny watching her walk around with them.

Birthday Boy

My littlest man turned 6 Saturday! :) We had a fun fireman birthday party. I will post more pictures soon, I guess I've been slacking for too long...I need to make MANY more posts. Sorry, Mom! :(

Day 5

The tower is fully functional!!! :)

Day 4

No comment.

Day 3

The swing set is almost done. We had to quit early Friday night due to cold and sprinkles. We woke up to little snow flurries! I spent most of the day up in Roswell searching for baseball uniform accessories. We might finish it by the end of the weekend...maybe! :)

Day Two

Some people are more patient than others.

Day One

Terry took the week off from work so we could all enjoy Spring Break together. So far we have started putting together the swingset, cleaned the whole house, mowed the lawn, put together a BBQ, raked pine needles and pine cones, unpacked boxes and played baseball. The swingset is taking a LONG time to put together. Maybe we should have bought the cheaper one. :)

Little Mommy Helena

My baby is turning into a little mama. This morning she was pushing her little doll all over the place. Too cute!

Emily's First Formal Dance

Oh, how exciting! :) Emily was dead set on NOT going to the Valentine's Day Dance at her school. Two boys had asked her, but she said, "No" and "No way!" Then when a few of her friends started talking about their dresses, she decided maybe she should go. I think it was all just a ploy to get a new outfit! :) Anyway, she conned her friend here into going along with her. They were shocked at how inappropriate their classmates acted at the dance. There was forbidden dancing and lots of making out, while the chaperones seemed ambivalent toward it all. I guess I need to send Terry as a chaperone next time! If there is a next time...these two said they prefer church dances. I think the worst part is Emily asked two guys to dance with her and they said, "No" and "No way!" They probably couldn't dance anyway! :)

Happy Birthday, Sariah! :)

She's a big five year old now! Sariah had yet another "Princess Party." Friends from school and church came over to play dress-up, run around and eat the pretty purple chocolate chip cupcakes I made. Fun was had by all! :) Latest Sariahism...Sariah to me (while I was riding the exercise bike): "Mommy, don't go too fast or you'll melt!" Do you like her new princess peepers? She picked out some Hannah Montana glasses as her first choice and when the optometrist started to put them on her, she said, "Woah!!! Let's look at these adult size glasses over here..." These were the cutest adult glasses. They are tortoise shell over pink. :)

Helena's Favorite Pastimes

Helena loves to follow the vacuum cleaner. She gets very excited and tries to keep up with it. :) She also loves the cupboard full of plastic containers, what kid doesn't!?! :) Why do we spend money on toys?

Another Lukism

Luke to Travis: What are you going to be when you grow up, a baseball player, a basketball player, a football player or a soccer ball player? :)
