Peyton's Birthday

We took a few friends to Build a Bear this year and Peyton had a great time. Here he is with his best friend from school.

Isn't he handsome??? I can't believe he is 5.

Little sissy couldn't hang with the big kids.

Alli

It's been brought to my attention that I don't post many pictures of Alli. I don't mean to ignore my little angel but she sleeps a lot so it's hard to take pictures. But isn't she beautiful? Look at those eyes....I could drown in them. I took her to the eye doctor yesterday because she has a slightly wandering eye (thanks to Daddy) and they found she is slightly farsighted with astigmatism. We go back in a few months to check it out and see if she needs glasses.

SICK

Oh my gosh I am so sick. Not only do I have the flu I was fortunate enough to get strep on top of it. Not kidding. Poor Peyton was sick last week and his horrible cough has continued into this week. Emmy woke up this morning with her voice almost completely gone and a cough and now Alli is coughing as well. By God's grace my pediatrician called all 3 kids in some meds-Tamiflu for the older 2 and cough medicine for all of them.

You're probably wondering why I'm on the computer. Because my middle child has an obsession with Barney and I can't sit on my couch and watch another episode of Barney. So I'm half way leaning back in my office chair reading blogs. Oh yes, it's been plop your kid infront of a tv all week and pray they leave you alone. So far so good, except I had to get up 2 times to change the episode of Barney and 3times to get Emmy new snacks.

Back to the blogs, a girl in my photography group sent out a list of sites she frequents and she included this great blog check it out: http://thepioneerwoman.com

Peyton and his colorful imagination

What is this you ask? It's Peyton's scuba diver dress up. He is obsessed with dressing up and recently he has started creating his own costumes. If you ever see us out and about on the weekend you will probably see him in one of these get ups. We have decided not to fight it, plus we love that it shows his imagination.

Little Miss Temper

The funniest thing happened on Sunday-Emmy pitched a little temper tantrum. Now that's not unusual or funny most of the time but this time was classic. Duckie (infamous Deb, now known as Duck to Emmy) was in town for the day and we had been running errands and goofing around. We were all in the kitchen when Emmy decided she wanted something but for the life of me I could not figure it out. Totally fed up with me she screams goes to my room and slams the door. We're all standing there laughing ever so quietly so she doesn't hear when all of the sudden she swings the door open and heaves a laundry basket into the hallway followed by a loud slam of the door again. It was so dang funny I couldn't discipline her for it.

Happy Valentine's Day

Late- I know sorry. We've had a crazy week. With Peyton's birthday and Valentine's party at school it's been nuts. Not to mention Peyton got sick this week-some kind of lung thing and I think he might have passed it onto me. I'm not feeling horrible, but I don't have an appetite and my chest feels a little scratchy if that makes any sense.

Does it look like I jipped Peyton in this photo shoot? Well I did Emmy's first, you know before grumpyness set in. So I went to do Peytons (and yes he insisted on his outfit) I only got 3 pics before my battery went dead. Ofcourse, Mom of the year didn't get any of Alli so now I will have to back track and pretend I took them at the same time-all for the sake of scrapbooking.

Do you love the new template?

Boy I do. It took me so long to switch because I was scared to lose my widgets. But thankfully I didn't. I love the simplicity of this one. It doens't have all that blinding pink swirly things.
