"Cookie House"

Li'll Miss TONGUE!!!!
The greatest thing ever is listening to Anya's squeals and giggles of absolute delight!!!!!

*Ethan came running out of the bathroom after a "potty break." I asked him if he washed his hands, and he enthusiastically exclaimed "you wanna 'mell my hands, Mama?" Soo.. I did and responded, "MMMmmm, smells like watermelon. I may want to eat them." He responded, "MAMA, you can't eat soap. It's not good for you brain!!!!"




Well.. we have been taking in the holidays! We love it! I've always loved Christmas music and strolling the mall during this season. I know. It is annoying to most, but that what is great about having kids!!! You have someone to enjoy all of those annoying things at which everyone else rolls their eyes!

T'is the Season!

Well, this picture was very random. We decided to walk the mall and take in the holiday Spririt on Black Friday (with a smidge of crazy in us). We looked down on the Santa pavillion, and Ethan exclaimed in absolute awe, "SANTA! I want to TALK to him." I noticed that the line was TWO PEOPLE long. I looked at Jesse, and we quickly booked it downstairs. We also decided that since Anya was in a good mood, and we KNOW out of experience that there will be no Anya Santa pictures next year, we decided to shell out a few bucks for the pictures. For such a random opportunity, they turned out well. "Oh well" that the kids weren't dressed more seasonally!

I just took the kiddos to the doc. Ethan's 3 year and Anya's 4 month. Where they are both above average in size, neither are giants anymore. Other than that news, all is well with them! :)

Anya has discovered her toes, and she LOVES them! She is so smiley, and she loves sticking out her tongue these days. I've got a few Anya tongue pics that I'll post soon.

Ethan is quite a joy these days, for the exception of the occasional monster outburst. He turns into a monster and roars when he gets angry about something. I'm not sure if this is good that he channels things or bad... We just take it as it comes.

I hope everyone is doing well. Let us know how YOU are doing.

No, we won't be going to MEmphis for the holidays. Tai Tai and Boppy are coming here.

Party On!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, ETHAN!!!!!



As you can see, we all celebrated Ethan's 3rd Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's with his buddies as well as Mia and G-daddy! It was GREAT! Fun times were had by all, and Ethan REALLY ate up the "Birthday Star" status!
