Waking up to a fun Valentine surprise!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

This morning the kids were so excited that it was Valentine's Day and KG was just positive they were having a party at Wee-School just for her. :) When the kids got up they had balloons and a little surprise waiting for them at the breakfast table. My mom used to do that for us, so I thought I would carry on the tradition. We ate cinnamon rolls and then headed off to Wee-School. On the way out the door, T told KG he liked her dress. She informed him that it was not a dress it was her Balentimes Day Outfit. :) They had a great time at school and got enough sugar to last us the rest of the year.

Motorcycle Mania

Vroom! Vroom!
Karla and KG on the motorcycle.
CT getting ready to ride.
"Wook ate me Mommy, Wook at me!"
CT and KG jumping. It was so hard to get her to say in the middle. Luckily no one fell off.

Yesterday the weather was so pretty that we could not stay inside any longer. Plus it was hotter in the house than it was outside, and who turns on the AC in February? Well, I did but it stunk so bad that I turned it off. :) ha! So we opened some windows. We went over to the neighbor's house to see how many dangerous toys we could play on. The kids were taking turns jumping on the trampoline, while Karla was giving rides on the motorcycle. KG LOVED the motorcycle. She kept saying, "Faster, Faster, Faster." CT had a good time on it too. Today is back to winter weather and rain. It was fun while it lasted.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

CT and KG pumped about playing in the snow!
KG not quite sure about all of this.

CT figuring out how to make a snowball.
Coming after mommy with the snowballs.
KG thinks its lots of fun to throw snow at mommy. ;)
CT excited he found something he can throw at people and not get into trouble.
Our Snowman. This snow was GREAT snow for snowball fights and making a snowman.

It started snowing this morning and it's still snowing here. It is so pretty! The kids were super excited to get out and play in it. As we were walking out the door CT proclaims, "This is the best time I've ever had in my life. I've never did this before." OK we will work on the grammar later. They had a blast figuring out how to make snowballs and throwing them at each other. KG got mad when she got hit with one. She would say, "Don't frow dat at me." She didn't have a problem throwing them at me and CT though. :) CT was none to happy that we had to come in, but they were getting cold and it was time for a nap. I hope it sticks around for awhile.

Big Bow Head!!!

Big Bows!!

Here is KG eating her "eye" cream and sporting her new bows. We got them in the mail the other day and she was so excited! Thanks Ribbon Rockstar. These bows are darling and VERY well made. You too can order your own at www.ribbonrockstar.com We may have to get some more colors for the spring and summer. We will wear them as long as she lets me. :)

We HEART Light'meen" McQueen

CT playing with his cars, while KG and her ornery self irritates him by taking his cars. :) She would also tell you that in this picture, "My haya (hair) is messy."

This is how CT spends a lot of his time these days. He can play for hours with all his Light"meen" McQueens. These are his favorite cars. We often spend time looking for a certain one that he has misplaced. I also don't understand how it is that Lightning is always the one to go missing. He always has them accounted for. It amazes me how he gets so lost in play and making them talk to one another. He says some funny things. The other day he was pretending he was taking them through a drive thru. This is what he said, "Um yes, I need a Diet Dr. Pepper, and two waters for the kids please." I wonder where he has heard that from? :) Well, we are off to race for the Piston Cup. Here's hoping Light"meen" wins again. :)

Here it is in all it's glory. "THE PISTON CUP". AKA the blender from KG's "titchen".

Little Song Birds.....

CT and KG were in the singing mood today. I was singing while I was peeling KG's orange and she told me to stop. (If you heard me you would tell me to stop too.:) ha! ) Anyway then she would sing it and then tell me, "That's how you sing it." Well, Ok then. So for your listening ears.........

Houston we have a problem!!

This past Sunday night T took the kids to church while I stayed home to get some things caught. Now before y'all start calling me a heathern for missing church. I do not go on Sunday nights for a reason. We have what we call SAG (student accountability groups) that we meet with on Sunday nights during church. My group can not meet on Sunday's so we meet on Monday nights. Ok now that I have explained myself. Back to the kids going to church. CT and KG just happened to be in the same class this night. KG went up to her teacher and infomed her that her momma was going to have a baby. (oh really) Meanwhile CT heard what she was saying and interrupted by telling the teacher, "No she's not! My Mom and Dad are still working on it!"

To clear up the air NO we are not pregnant and NO we are not "technically" working on it. :) We are in the process of adopting a baby girl from China. We have been explaining things to the kids while we go through the process. We are still a LONG way out. We start our homestudy this Thursday. We probably will not have a baby in hand for another 2 plus years. While this seems like a very long time, we are very excited, and know that the Lord will teach us many things through this journey. So "technically" yes we are going to have a baby. It's just going to take some time. I will keep you posted.
