Thanksgiving

Well, we have just celebrated Thanksgiving. It is this time of the year that I am thankful for my family. I love the excitement my children have when they see their cousins and grandparents. I love the relationship they have with their older cousins. I love that they get to spend time with their aunt and uncle who live in Florida. I am just so thankful for the close knit family and the relationships my children have built with their cousins.

5 years old

Yesterday, my little guy turned 5. I cannot believe he is that old. I seems like just yesterday he was sitting up and learning to crawl and walk. Next year, he will head off to kindergarten.

For his birthday, he wanted to go to Logan's. He loves when they say Ye-Haw. When we left, Wes wanted to know if anyone else needed to go anywhere. Ayden said that since he was the birthday boy, he wanted to go to Target and get a slushy. When we got home, he got a phone call from Mickey Mouse. He was so excited that Mickey knew it was his birthday.

Ayden was glad it was his birthday, now he is anxiously waiting for his birthday party.

Potty Time :)

I know I shouldn't get too excited but Briana is fascinated with the potty. We have put her on it so she can get used to it. She loves to wear her panties and mine. On Sunday, we put her on it and she peed. She was so happy. She had to bring everyone in to see her pee. Today when she woke up she was dry. I put her on the potty and again she peed. She brought everyone in and showed them and clapped every time she showed it to someone. We will see how things progress.

I see where I rate

I was not home when Bri went to bed last night. This morning, I left before she was awake. I called home to tell my MIL why the cop was sitting on our road (apparently we have some people going through the yard at Sycamore Hills). Bri woke up so Becky put her on the phone. I said, "Hi, Bri, how are you doing?" She responds with, "feed me." Food comes before me. Oh well, at least she eats :)

Girls

We asked Ayden about Sunday School. He said it was good. We asked if his friend was last week was there. He said, "Yeah, but she needed alone time today. Then she came around and sat by me." Wes just looked at him and said, "Girls, what are you going to do?"

Christmas Season

Ayden has been asking about the lights that we see around our house. I have told him it is too early for Christmas lights. We can put them up but we can't turn them on until after we go to Luke's house. He has been fine with that. He has even yelled at houses for having their lights on. He says they are busted. Today, as we traveled home from Target, he wanted to know why lights weren't on. I told him it is too light outside. He started yelling from the backseat, "Hey everybody, it isn't too early now, start turning on your lights." He just cracks me up.

Happy Birthday, AYDEN

Happy 4th Birthday to Ayden. Today, I woke him up singing Happy Birthday. I asked him how old he was when I put him in the car. He said he was 3. I told him it was his birthday today. He still said 3, "Mommy, at my Candyland party I will be 4." When we got to grandma's house, she wished him a happy birthday. She asked him how old he was. He said, "I am 4 today and I will still be 4 at my Candyland party." At least he got the point. When I asked him where he wanted to go eat for his dinner he said Texas Roadhouse. I told him I thought he didn't like the food. He said, "Mom, I like the cinnamon butter." That works for me.
