Tyler and Basketball

Look at that form! He has a natural ability for basketball and loves every minute of it. He is so serious on the court and during his game. After his game yesterday he said, "I hated having that one guy guard me. He kept rubbing his but on my stomach and singing 'You're going to miss it. You're going to miss it.' It was so gross." I had a good laugh. I told Tyler he should have yelled at the guy to get his big fat butt off of him. He just laughed too.

Reality TV Junkie Family

So we watch almost all the reality tv shows out there and love them all. But, you know we are real reality tv junkies when your 5 year old who is in pre-school says:

Mom, you know that fat kid on my basketball team? The one who has a tummy stick out. He really needs to go on The Biggest Loser.

Oh my...

Jessica's haircut

So I was prepping Jessica all day that she got to sit on a big chair, wear a cape, and get her hair cut. She was so excited until.... the time came to actually do it. She was screaming, squirmming, wouldn't sit on the chair, etc. She did not want to sit with a cape on. My neighbor is a hair stylist and Jessica's best friends mom. So she even knew the lady that was cutting her hair.

Well, Amy (the haircutter) was trying to calm Jessica down and said, "Do you want me to turn you into Belle." Jessica so excitedly responded, "yea!!!!!" Amy said, "well sit down and I'll cut your hair to be as beautiful as Belle." Jessica climbed up in the chair, sat still, and didn't make a peep the entire hair cut. After the haircut was done, Jessica said, "mom, I'm Belle." All day long she continued to tell me she was Belle. Boy, how they fantasize about the Disney princesses at this age. She loves them.

Tyler's school assignment

So Tyler brought home a paper yesterday that he wrote at school. It goes like this...

"If I worked at an animal shelter i would hate it hate it hate it because I hate having pets. I don't like talking care of them and I don't like buying food for them."

I just had a good laugh because I can't stand animals. They scare me and they stink. I've never taught my kids not to like them,but apparently they don't like them. It must be genetic. I had a good laugh over it.

2 addictions

So our family has 2 favorite games right now and we just can't get enough of them, BUT.... here's the problem.

Jeff wins this game every time we play


I win this game every time we play


So... what game should we play kids??? Good thing the boys like playing games and are just good sports with their competitive parents.

Valentines Day

This...

Boy that Valentine Man brings so many smiles!

Conversation with Jessica

Jessica is constantly dressing up. She puts tiaras on, high heels on, necklaces on, and whatever she can find to dress up with. Well yesterday she put a really cute pink hat on that had a strap for under her chin. She came over to me and said:

Jessica: Mom, I a "dow boat"
Mom: You're a tow boat??
Jessica: No, I'm a dow bow.
Mom: You're a bow??
Jessica: NOOOOOO, I'm a dow bowl.
Mom: You're a dow bowl???
Jessica: NOOOOOO, I'm a dowabowl (pheonicatically spelling here)
Mom: OOHH, you're adorable.
Jessica: Yeeaaaaa, I'm adorable.

Man, you would think by my 4th child I could interpret some of this stuff. Thank goodness I finally got it. And she was ADORABLE!!!
