Matching Bumps

Couldn't resist! I love my beautiful sister-in-law & niece!!!

Love/Hate Relationship

So... I know it's been a very long time since I've done this but life is always busy.  I have been enjoying every minute and trying to enjoy my children as time FLIES by.  Trying to not let them grow up before I realize it.  I don't think I can prevent the "growing up" part too well! 

Case in point: READ ON!

~You see, Ty has a friend that moved to town 2 years ago and even goes to church with us.  Colbi and Ty have always had a love/hate relationship.  They sit together for half of the church service, they spend time together at school until Colbi says not this week.  (When asked if this hurts his feelings, he says, "No, she just talk to me next week!"  This year Colbi and her mom even got to go to LTC.  We had adjoining rooms.  Needless to say, Colbi and Ty were practically joined at the hip!

At Ojeda's, this is how the conversation went:

Colbi: Ty, we're going to share.

Ty: OK

Colbi: Want do you want?

Ty: Whatever you want.

Colbi: Enchiladas

Ty: OK, beef enchiladas

Colbi: No, TY, cheese

Ty: ummm, but I don't like cheese enchiladas

Colbi: but I do

Billy: You can both order what you want and get your own plates.

Colbi and Ty: No! We have to share.

~Poor, confused waiter arrives~

Colbi: Ty, you're suppose to order for us.

Ty: We would like enchiladas. 2 cheese, 2beef with beans and rice on the side.

Poor, confused waiter: OK, you would like 2 cheese with rice and beans, and you would like 2 beef with rice and beans.

Colbi and TY:NO!!!!

Ty repeats the order; waiter repeats what he said the first time with a very bewildered look on his poor face.

Colbi and Ty: NO!!!!

Billy finally interrupts and explains that they want to share on the same plate. 4 enchiladas, one side of rice and beans.
Poor, confused waiter finally gets it right and the kids beam!
Food comes out, kids smile, asks poor, confused waiter, "Can we please get an extra plate?"  Needless to say, he got a really BIG tip!

~So back to today.... Ty comes home and tells Billy that today was the first time in a long time that he has gotten to talk to Colbi without her girl friends hanging around teasing them about.... wait for it... "dating"!  (What in the world?! Why do they think about things like this already?) So Billy asked what they talked about.  As soon as I got home from work, Billy tells Ty to tell me about his conversation with Colbi at school.  I ask what they talked about and he laughs and says, "Well, Mom, we talked about what our wedding will be like if we ever have one."  My HEART STOPS HERE but of course I play it off and casually question and listen as he tells me that Colbi has it all planned out.  Hot pink is the color and it will be held at the Abilene Country Club.  I told him that I was glad Clay and Christie would be footing the bill and it couldn't happen til after they graduate college with Masters.  Billy added, "or til you both turn 25, whichever comes later!"  Ty says he knows and that they talked about that too.  The wisdom of 8yr olds! 
~Scary, huh?

December 2009

Tyler "sang" in the school Christmas play. I say "sang" because... you see the little girl next to him? Her name is Emily Boyd and as Ty sat there, not singing, until she would reach over and pop him and say SING! She definitely rules the roost in that class with those boys! We celebrated Kailee's and Tyler's birthday with their friends at school. Donna made them both cupcake cakes. Kailee's was, of course, a horse on a field of green.
Ty's was John Deere themed

We attempted to make a gingerbread house! FUN! FUN! FUN!

Funny thing about "Bubba" the Snowman... about 30 mins after going inside, we noticed that Daisy kept getting very close to Bubba and then would run away. Of course, curiosity got the best of us and we had to go look at what she was doing. This is what we found:

Apparently, Daisy really loves suckers and licorice!

She thought she was going to be in trouble! Funny how they know what they are not suppose to be doing!

Dozyr, of course, had to come over and show me that he was not the one who ate Bubba's face.

WARNING: October and November pic post

WARNING: Lots of pics below! Oct and Nov were 2 fully packed months!

Pumpkin carving

This is what Ty did after he got tired of cleaning! He watched TV while Daddy carved for him!

Kailee drew out her design herself!

Walk like an Egyptian!

Downtown Treats!

Soccer... Go Wolves!

Kailee played goalie and defender. She took a few hard hits and still kept coming back for more. She's one tough kid!

Veterans Day

Kailee wrote the veterans she knew on her star. Look on the bottom of this page to watch her sing the National Anthem.

A friend gave me a Friendship bread starter. We make it for several weeks until I ran out of people to give it too. I finally quit when I had FOUR cakes to make and since I don't normally cook.... well you can imagine!

Ty LOVES chicken noodle soup so we have many cans on hand at all times. This is how he likes to finish... with his straw!

The Pre-K and Kinder classes had a Thanksgiving feast together. The girls were pilgrims and the boys were indians. Here's Ty giving his best "Indian" yell.

Putting up the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving

Fluffing branches!

It's become a tradition for the kids to put on the star every year so instead of taking turns, we just put it onb twice!!! Soon they will be too big for Billy to lift! :(
