It has Eyes!!!

I made a chicken poppy seed casserole for dinner Friday night. Owen was being fussy and not wanting to eat. I told him he had to have 3 more bites and he could get down. He got sad and said he did not want to eat anymore of the little eyes. We all laughed so hard, I had to get the bottle of poppy seed and show him they were not eyes. He finally finished eating. The things kids imaginations will think of, I love it.

I have lost Andrew

So Emily has deceided she wanted to watch the boys 1 day a week for extra money. Well last week Andrew had Basketball camp in the morning and I had woke Emily up to have her watch Owen and explained Drew was gone to camp. I get a call 2 hrs later with her sobbing that she can't find Andrew. I explained to her that he was at basketball camp and could not stop laughing. She however did not think it was that funny. We could not stop laughing all day long about it. Lesson learned: Don't fall back to sleep when you are babysitting. =>

Owen turns 3

February was a fun month for us. With valentines Day, Owens Birthday and tons of my families birthday. We partied for a week long.


As Emily has gotten older she loves to blow up balloons and leave noted for birthdays. Owen was more excited about his balloons in the corner then his presents and Buzz balloons. He did not even ask to open his presents until later that night.
We then had a Birthday party with my family, It was Jens, Aybree, Lauren and also Russells b-day. Russ was not there because they had just moved to Alaska. It was a fun night and of course we got to play cards so that is always great.



We then had a party with the garmires on Sunday. We love being able to get together with family.

Valentines fun and snow

So I am WAY behind on our blog again. It has been a busy 2011 for us. I am hoping to get caught up today since I am off work since Owen is not feeling so hot. We had a fun Valentines again this year. We decorated treats and had our usual candle light dinner. This year Mike was stuck at work so we had it with out him. The kids were bummed that he wasn't there.







We were also lucky to get alot of snow in Febuary. The boys were so excited to play in the snow and build a snowman. Emily enjoyed taking the pictures and we did get her to pose for 1 picture.

YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Owen and I went to the mall and he was playing on the playground. He loves to play there and I hardly ever let him. Well he climbed up on the slide and starts yelling "you blithering idiots" and waiving his hands. He loves Peter Pan and has such a good imagination. I was so embarrassed at first but then I just had to laugh. Who cares what all the other folks think right?? He has such a good memory and repeats so much of what he hears.

We broke!!!!

Emily has been BEGGING with us for a year to get a cell phone. We kept telling her she was to young and we always heard "but my friends have one" We just kept putting her off. Well a few months ago she started giving her friends my cell number and I was getting TONS of text from all her friends. Wasn't bad at first but it got old quick. She also was going to more friends house and I am a very protective mom and hated that I couldn't check one her since some friends don't have home #s. She has been doing so great with it. I am so proud of her. She knows she has to have it off every night by 8 and it does not go to her room at night. So yes we are officially entering the teenage years quick!!!
