Hook Em Horns


Hook Em Horns!


The eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live long day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them,
At night, or early in the morn'.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
Till Gabriel blows his horn!

My body's broken, mommy!

Oh these are the moments I have been waiting for, the cute funny stuff that pops out of your kids mouth and you are rolling on the floor with laughter...
So Nat and I are getting her ready for bed the other night and we always have her go pee-pee one more time on the royal potty just as she is climbing into bed. This is always exciting for her since the minute she pees, it makes a song. Well, I turned it on just as she sat down and it sang the tune before she had gone pee. She got very confused and told me "Momma, potty broken, me no go pee". I told her it was okay, it would sing the song again when she did go pee. So Nat, concentrating with all her effort mind you, tried to go pee to no avail. She looks at me and she says" Uh oh mommy no pee pee coming out. Oh no, no pee pee coming out of me body, me body broken too". Somehow this is not so funny written down but I wish y'all could hear how serious and very concerned that she was!

Santa Claus


We went to go see Santa Claus at the mall last week, I know, I know. I am being a good mommy; pics at Sears and with Santa all in one week. Nat was a little shy but she sat on Santa's lap and told him her name was Natty, she was two, and in response to his question, "What do you want for Christmas?" She said a real big purple pony at momma' s house. Hmmm, this is what she told grandpa too! The kid is good. Don't know where we are going to find that but oh well!

Bad Mommy!





Well I FINALLY got professional pics of Natalie taken this weekend at sears... Nat had a wonderful time and was an angel as we were there for over 2 hours taking pics and selecting them on the computer... The lady at Sears said I was a bad mommy and shame on me for waiting 2 years. I decided at that point that I better not point out that these were her 2 year photos, 3 months late! Oh well, got some cute ones. Now I need to go wait in line to take pics with santa, won't that be fun!

Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!



Natalie and I got to decorate our very first Christmas tree! You may remember the lovely flood of 2006 that unfortunately sorta ruined our holidays last year... Natalie definitely made up for last year, she had a wonderful time and wads very proud of herself for putting all the hooks on the ornaments and putting them on the tree! She loved to "hide" the ornaments way in the back of the tree branches so I of course moved all of those after she went to bed! I won't mention how much "FUN" I had putting up the tree myself, it totally is not meant for someone that is 5'1 and my poor arms look like I got in a fight with a cat! Oh but yeah, I said I wouldn't mention it!

Happy Halloween! Well Nat practiced all day and learned that you have to say "Trick or Treat" after you knock on the door. But she picked Halloween night to be shy for the first time in her life! She would run up to the door, say please, get the candy and then as she was running away, "Bye Bye, Happy Halloween!". She was an adorable black kitty and I was the proudest mom out there. She is totally hoarse today from screaming at the top of her lungs, "Momma more kids coming" when she was handing out candy! Little thing is growing up so fast!

Let the fun begin...

Pre-Construction

Stage 2: new cabs with some old counters

We are in Stage 2, otherwise known as "Living life with new cabinets and the new countertops aren't ready for 3 weeks..." Ha! For those of you that have been there before, you can all probably sympathize. Totally not fun with a 2 year old who totally freaked out when she came home and had nowhere to wash her hands... She did have fun brushing her teeth in the bathtub though! Brett has been a very good boy ripping out all the old stuff, setting up stuff temporarily, and entertaining me through the many hours at Home Depot. New appliances come tomorrow. Totally excited about sitting here all day tomorrow for the 4 hour time frame from 2 different stores. I guess I shouldn't whine about getting new stuff but I will be happy when all this is over!
