The Children's Museum

Today we spent the morning at the Children's Museum. We love the Jolly Days slide and the new Barbie exhibit. And we found a new game that we had to try. It was called Chairs. I loved it because I beat Baron at the stacking game! Maybe next time Baron. Gigi and Addi took a turn at the Barbie Catwalk.

Happy New Year - 2010

Well here we are again starting a new year. I am so thankful for the precious people in my life.

John and I had a nice dinner and then we got to go home and babysit for Addi and Gigi. Andrea and Baron went out for dinner. We had so much fun dancing and playing and baking cookies. Gigi was happy to make noise to celebrate and didn't even know she was a little early. When Andrea and BAron got home we hung out for a little bit and then rang in the new year together.

Gigi's first movie - The Princess and the Frog

I took Gigi to see her first movie - The Princess and the Frog. She was really in to it. She wanted to sit in her own seat and have "potcorn" (better know to us as popcorn). She was very interested in the movie until a little past half way and then nap time took over. She woke at the end to see her turn back in to a Princess. I love taking the babies to movies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2009

We had another great Christmas. But how could we not with such a great family. We had a nice get together Christmas Eve with our family and the unveiling of John's skaters a new addition to his exterior illumination. Then Christmas morning G-ma came over for breakfast and Missy treated with her breakfast casserole. Then we began the night with gifts and broke for dinner and then on with more gifts. Then to end the night we had a version of John and Deniece's favorite things (sorry Oprah we borrowed your idea). It was a fun time but I want to say how thankful I am to have such an amazing family. I am so blessed.

Happy Anniversay Andrea and Baron

Andrea and Baron went out to dinner tonight for their 6th anniversary. And we got to babysit for Addi and Gigi. As always we watched lots of Wiggles and Doodlebops. But I found some really great girly toys at a garage sale. A Barbie Dream House and a stroller and high chair. Gigi was having lots of fun with those. Then as the night went on we did lots of laying down and wrestling. Happy Anniversay Andrea and Baren and thanks for letting us watch the kiddies!

The circus and a little fun outside

Missy and Molly came to visit this weekend and we all went to the circus. The kids loved it. They especially liked the popcorn. Then Missy and I babysit for the three babies and had a fun evening. We ate pizza, made cookies and played outside. Mimi needs more outdoor play things. But we made do by sharing the swing, slide and the flowers.

Labor Day Weekend - Not much going on

Well we had big plans for the weekend but the rain changed that for Sunday. We had plans to go to the Canal and have a picnic and rent a Surrey. But Addi was not feeling well and the rain stopped the picnic at the Canal. So Andrea and Baron and the kids came over for lunch and stayed for a little while. I gave Addi and Gigi some surprises I had bought for them to play with when they are at my house. Addi got a big Wiggles coloring book that he seemed to like. Gigi got a Barbie and a car. She decided to give them a rest in the strainer. I got out a new Barbie comforter that I bought and Gigi really liked laying on it. On Saturday night, I went over to Andrea and Baron's and we went out to dinner. The kids were so funny. We ate at On The Border and had a small accident with some salsa. But the funny story about it was worth the mess. Gotta love those special times.
