Oh... Oh... Those Sleepless Nights...

Since the girls didn't have school I decided to let Kylee come over and have a sleepover. I can't say much sleeping actually happened, but I think they had fun. All four of us tried to sleep on my queen size bed and let's just say it wasn't very successful. Apparently Lexi kicked Jaden, and he said: "Mommy, Lexi kicked me in my legpit." I started laughing it was so funny. I took a picture of his "legpit" so all of you can learn about this new part of your body, also known as the back of the knee. =)

Lexi & Jaden Christmas

The kids had a great Christmas this year. Alexis got a Nintendo DS that she has been asking for for about 2 years, so she was very happy. Jaden got Spike the dinosaur and was very happy. He said, "This is so much money, I didn't think you would get this for me." He is just the sweetest little boy. He melts me.

Christmas Scarves

More Christmas fun. My mom made everyone awesome hats & scarves. I put them all on for one picture-lots of scarves!! I think the picture of Spencer is great. He looks like a Russian.

Christmas Day- my family.

I am posting some fun Christmas pictures of my family. We had a good time this Christmas. I hope everyone else did too!

Christmas Eve 2

Not enough room for pictures on the first post.

Christmas Eve.

I am posting some pictures from Christmas Eve. We saw Joseph & Val and Rasheedah came up from Texas too. We also went to a Christmas Eve party out in Magna with my mom's side of the family. That was fun too.

The tooth is out!

Lexi came to work with me today since she is out of school for Christmas break. We tied her tooth to a string and did the old door trick. It didn't come out, but it loosened it a lot. I pulled it out with my fingers and now she has a whole new smile!

This is how we do it....

Christmas parties anyway. We went to a morning Christmas party at my grandma's house on Saturday and I swear all the kids were on a sugar high, it was crazy! It was great to get together with family and see everyone I don't get to see very often.

By the end, the kids were wiped out and ready for a nap. It was a good time though.

Tooth Watch...

Alexis has this tooth that is growing in behind another one. I was hoping the baby tooth in front would fall out in front, so she wouldn't have to have the dentist pull it. Anyway, it is finally loose and almost ready to come out.

Last night, the funniest thing happened. Lexi was laying her head on my lap and I was gently wiggling the tooth to see if we could get it to come out. Jaden was sitting right next to me watching it all. Suddenly he grabs his checks together in this great "oh no" expression, and says "Mommy, don't pull Lexi's tooth, she will looks like a DUFUS!" It was the funniest thing I had heard. I just started laughing. I told him it was normal for little teeth to come out and big teeth to come in.

Now he is anxiously awaiting his teeth falling out. It was just so funny. I have never used the word dufus and have no idea where he learned it, but his timing was just hilarious.

Austin Powers...

I think Jaden is so funny in this picture. He is doing the Austin Powers thing, I don't even like that movie but I think it's funny. Alexis looks like she lost her arm or something but I just think this is such a classic picture. This is also an old picture, but too good to resist.

An Oldie, but Goodie.

This picture was from 2 summers ago when we went up in the mountains with my mom's side of the family. I love that I have this awesome picture of my kids and their great-grandpa. I also added a funny one of my grandparents. They make me smile.

Walk Like an Egyptian....

Alexis is so funny. She loves to put on a show for anyone who will listen. She puts the meaning in "Drama Queen". This was taken while she was helping me at one of my dad's houses he built.

"I promise, I will not pee in your bed."

Somehow, I still wake up to a puddle. =) Jaden always trys to talk me into letting him sleep with me. He usually gets to because I get tired of walking him back to his room. I really think he is an insomniac. He does not go to sleep. No matter what I do, he could stay up all night. But, he sleeps really well when he's with me, so I guess that is why I cave. Or maybe that is just what I tell myself to avoid looking like a pushover. =)

Some fun times...

I thought I'd just post some fun pictures for the heck of it. I especially love the one of Kylee, it's so funny!

Mickey Dee's

I love it. Jaden is hilarious. He has this fascination with McDonalds. If he had things his way, he would eat there all 3 meals. He always begs for a happy meal, and being the Scrooge McDuck that I am, I usually say no, I just don't feel like spending 4 bucks each kid every time through the dreaded drive up.

The other day we went to the McDonald's drive in and he was begging for a happy meal, the usual response of no was uttered, and he said to me: "But mom, you go to work all of the days, and you make all of the money, so where is your money!?!" It was great. It seriously cracked me up. He is such a cute little boy if I do say so myself.

Raffi-tastic

So, it would appear I am in the blogging mood today. Do you guy's remember this song? I LOVE IT!

Christmas time is coming soon... Actually, much too soon!

Usually I am totally done Christmas shopping by now. I mean done. Not this year. I have only bought 2 things, it is really quite pathetic. I don't much like crowds and I was hoping to avoid them, but with Christmas being so close, I think that will not be happening. And to make matters worse, I am not too creative this year. I have no idea what to buy- no game plan whatsoever. Uggh! So I will take a deep breath, and join in the crazy shopping with the crowds! =)

You Belong in 1995

With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

What Year Do You Belong In?
