Birth Announcement!

Welcome Corbin Alexander!

On December 30, 2010 at 2:27am, we got an early New Years gift! Corbin decided to arrive a few weeks early, but was a healthy 7lbs 8oz and 18.5 inches long! We are so blessed with this new addition to our family! He is such a sweetie!

First Day of Spring?

It's snowing in North Texas on the 1st day of Spring! What a wacky season we have had! I love this pic of our beautiful blooming tree and Hayden's snow covered car.

Milestones

We've had a few milestones at our house this week. On Wednesday, Hayden climbed out of his crib for the first time. Owen never did this at all, so it was a new experience here. We went ahead and converted his crib into a toddler bed. He LOVES it!! Has slept all night the past 2 nights :-) He is so very proud that he's now in a big boy bed! I forgot to get a picture of him and his new bed.....I will add that tomorrow...check back!

Today Owen had a milestone of his own, He lost his 1st tooth! He was home from school...yes, strep again. Don't get me started! Anyway, he and Hayden had just finished lunch. He came to ask me something and I noticed something was missing. I asked him where his tooth was. He got a puzzled look on his face, felt the hole in his mouth and said "What the Hell?" Bad mommy moment for me....I could not stop laughing! He knows not to say that, but it was a WTH kind of moment...lol! After the laughter finally died down, we went on a hunt for the tooth. I seriously thought he had eaten it. Nope he had thrown his plate in the sink and there it was stuck in the salsa on his plate. So, after a quick run to the ATM, the tooth fairy will be visiting our house tonight.

Oh Man....

where is that damn dish fairy when you need her?!!

Winter Wonderland in Texas!

7-9 inches of snow in North TX???? Yes...it's been snowing all day and it's still coming down! So pretty! Kids got out early today and will be off tomorrow. So exciting to have a real snow day!!!

This is What Happened.....

when we tried to get a Christmas picture of our boys! Luckily, noone was hurt in the process...lol!

Off to Kindergarten!

Owen is now an official kindergartner! We had a super smooth morning...no trouble at all! He was so excited to go! I was able to take him to his classroom. He walked right in, hung up his backpack, found his seat and started on an apple picture. There was only 1 other student there so I had a chance to chat with his teacher for a minute. That was nice! Then I gave Owen a hug and told him to have a great day. His response..."See ya". Didn't even bother to look up from his picture! The best part of the morning was that no tears were shed by either of us! WooHoo!






Owen wanted this picture taken in our driveway. He said "so the sunrise is behind me". He thought it was cool to be going to school shortly after sunrise...lol!

Karate Kid

Owen had his 1st belt test yesterday. He did great!! Scored an 8.5 out of 10 on his evaluation. So he now has a junior yellow belt and steps up to the next class level. We are so proud of him!

We've Been Hit

By Hurricane Hayden!!! Look out, there's no telling what he'll destroy next!

RIP

Michael Jackson was a huge part of my childhood. His concert was the 1st concert I saw. It was amazing! I was only 7 or 8, but I have many memories of that night. Off the Wall and Thriller will always be 2 of my favorite albums. Despite his creepiness and strange behavior the past few years, I think he had a big heart and will always be the best artist of all time! I am truly saddened by his death and I pray for his children and other family members. Rest in Peace MJ!
