Ethan is outa the will!!

descriptive hat day at school, Ethan's hat was creepy
The storybook parade, Ethan's book was Green Eggs and Ham

So, a few years ago when my sweet first born first started really talking I started getting him to say certain phrases before I give him something. The usual please and thank you, well I sooooo enjoyed this little moment that it turned into........Okay Ethan, who's the best mommy? from me of course.....then Ethan would chime in...You are mommy!! It was awesome!! So that worked so well that I really kept going with that one, Who's the prettiest mommy in the world? answer... you are mommy!!! All excited and cute. So today he really wanted a certain snack. Of course I begin my usual interrogation about how fab I am and he was smokin his way through the questions UNTIL I got to the prettiest mommy in the world. Yep, he almost lost his treat today for sure. He is all excited as he yelled Aunt Jessie is the prettiest mommy in the world!!!! What the.......did I just hear that right? LOL So I say, yes, she is pretty but who is giving you this fabulous treat my man? He looks confused. I say.....who's the prettiest mommy dang it. Being a perceptive little guy he immediately catches on to the whole mommy's the best game and of course receives his rewards. LOL He is really an amazing kiddo. Even if he does think aunt Jessie is the prettiest mommy in the world. He is reading fabulously and scored 100% on his reading test last week. He draws fabulous pix all day for me and now is labeling them too. GENIUS!! And so dang handsome!!




Ethan got to go to lunch in a Hummer limmo for a prize

Christmas 2008

I havent been in the mood for blogging lately but I think I'm back!! We'll see for how long, huh!! I'll try to go back before Christmas....Ok, so its near the beginning of Dec and we get a little knock at the door. I answer and no one is there. BUT, there are 2 bags with 6 boxes each of mac and cheese with a cute sign that says its from our secret friends. Well we get a little concerned because we're leaving for Okla on the last day of Ethan's school. If someones doing the 12 days for us, which is way sweet by the way, we'll miss about half of it. Somehow, our secret friends knew we were leaving and they doubled and tripled up on days for us. They were very creative and generous!! They totally knew our kids and what they liked. It was really fun. We got some cuddly blankets, oreo cakesters, toys, dvd's and more toys and fun stuff!! Anyway, that was way fun. We left our fave (central mkt) homemade marshmallows and some fancy hot choc for them one night for getting out in the cold to leave us a fun surprise. Gotta keep the gift givers warm!! ;)

Anyway, we left for Okla after Ethan got out of school on Friday before Christmas and had an absolute blast!! Props to Terina and Dave and boys of course for letting us reside at hotel Darcey!! Sorry about the bird by the way!! (hehehe, still not sure how that happened!!) We spent tons of time with aunt Jessie and company. The cousins were so much fun and Jessie and I of course had a slammin time as usual. I think Ed was there too. I'll check the pix, LOL j/k!! We all had a great time. If you're on facebook I have a whole photo album but I'll add a few here too. The pix on the header are from Christmas in Terina's fireplace.

The day we left we had made Zach wait til we were driving to take his first nap hoping that we would make it half or most of the way there by the time he was awake. Well, he slept, and he slept......and he slept. He would wake up and go right back down. It was strange but we thought it was maybe he was just really tired. He's never really been sick so that never entered our little heads. Well, by the time we got to Jessie and Chris's house he was fevering, of course. Its right before Christmas and we're out of town. Ahhhhhhhh!! Zach is totally a daddy's boy so when he's sick he only wants Ed. He was clinging to Ed like a spider monkey. As the night went on it was painfully obvious that he was more just a cold and being shy. Ed takes him the next morn to an emergency clinic(thank goodness for daddy!!) I slept in with the other kiddos! Zach had his first ear infection. It was so bad that the doc couldnt tell if his ear drum was perforated or not. He had so much gunk coming from his ear. Poor baby!! Anyway, $80 and no insurance later we got a fat bottle of the pink junk that heals anything and we were set. He was his cute self again almost right away!! Yeah for pink smelly meds!!

We had decided to do Christmas there but for Santa to also visit Texas too. So we got all the small fun stuff there and when we got back here Santa set up a huge bounce house in the living room for when the kiddos came in the living room it was like a mini jump for fun!! Ethan was the first to find it. He was so excited to get in and we had the balls that aunt Leona got for Zach inside. Aunt Leona rocks!! Overall we had a fantastic Christmas. Its awesome to have a long Christmas break with our fam!!

Here's a few pix....if you want to see more check out facebook. If you're not on facebook yet...sign up, dang it!! Facebook rocks!!

Puter's suck!!

I'm not sure exactly why when I try to do something on the computer without Amy that its a total disaster but I have now been trying to change the background template for 30 minutes. It still defaults to Christmas so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe by next Christmas I'll have it figured out.;)

tap, tap, tap.....is anyone there?!

Okay, I just havent been in the mood to blog lately. Life has been busy and I have had no desire to blog. We have tons of pix from Okla that I will try to do soon. We didnt die here in this house and no one noticed we just havent felt bloggy.

Twilight......

Ok, I guess everyone has seen the movie that wants to by now. I have seen it twice and would go again probably. I loved it. I know it was different than the book on some parts but I still quite enjoyed the journey. Edward Cullen is HOT!!! I'm just sayin.... I thought he did a fab job playin my fave vampire. Oh, and he was HOT, HOT, HOT!!!! I loved all the actors except for the chick that played Rosalee. I thought they coulda picked better on her for sure. She was not what I had pictured. Anyway, that being said. I loved the movie!! Yes, I will own it. And I am stoked that they are making the next book into a movie. Although my personal opinion is that they should combine New Moon and Eclipse with a huge amount of book/movie time devoted to Eclipse. Eclipse was my fave book of the series. New Moon was my least fave but if we gotta do it to get to Eclipse then we gotta do what we gotta do!! I have some more pix of the crazy movie midnight experience from Amy I just gotta figure out how to post them from my email. The fact that I can find and post pix out of our pix is a pure miracle. Anyway, Amy and I went to Mi Chula's my new favorite place to eat. Its so awesome. We took a pix there but I did some weird thing with my hand so I look like I'm deformed. Not sure what was up with that. Then we went to the theater for a loooooooonnnnnggggg sit~n~wait. We were sandwiched between some die hard Twilighters and some chicks that had not even heard of the books until about a month ago. SACRILEGE!!! They prob thought we were nuts!! They were all really cute though. The group in front of us were way into it. They had video of the kid that played Edward from the Galleria mall when he came. They were cute and giddy. The group behind us was fun too, one of the chicks leaned over to me and said " we shoulda brought a flask" LOL I am such a party animal!! As time got closer to theater entry the crowd got restless. It was fun to be with all the nutty kids and feel young again with all the teeny boppers. When they finally let us in all the people in front of us were jumping and running in screaming so we of course had to join in. The theater worker was cracking up at us. Once inside and seated the countdown began. About every 3 minutes another update on time was announced by someone. Along with a time update a girl would also announce that she wanted to have Edward's baby. I kept my mouth shut that I already have 3 of Edward's babies. I left out all neener neener neener's. ;) All in all it was a fabulous chick night. You can go back to my last post to click on Amy's blog to see pix if I dont figure out how to edit and add pix. I really gotta learn more about this whole picture deal. Anyway, I have said all this to say......if you didnt like the movie, keep it to your dang self. LOL I would recommend reading the book first. Sometimes the movie sux and the book is better but in this case for me I loved both in their own way. And........EDWARD CULLEN IS HOT!!!!!

Oh, I forgot. You know how we made shirts. Ok, ok Amy made my shirt and hers......hey, I stood there and wiped the sweat and was cute and sassy as usual. That takes serious effort!! So anyway, Amy has a fabulous shirt!! It said Team Edward in very fancy bling bling letters. The problem was/is she is very well endowed. LOL So her shirt looked like it said Team DWAR!!!!! LOL Bwahahahahahaha!! Amy is so fun!! We had the best time flashin our bling bling chesty shirts around for Edward!!

GNO!!!!

Ok, so I know that this is early but I am so fricken stoked I can barely sit down to type this. Amy and I read the Twilight series together, well she finished way before me but was there for me to call 24/7 about all the fun stuff. Anyway, so she and I made plans to be with the crazy fans of Twilight at midnight(yeah I know that makes us one of them). So Amy came over to help me make a shirt for the show. Well.....to make it for me. (the ironing challenged!!!) Which, by the way, she did a fabulous job and if you want to see it click here. Yes those really are my uhhhuuummmm on her blog. But isnt the shirt so dang cute!! Ames takes care of me!! We are going to Mi Chula's then going across the street to the Harkins for the loooonnnnnggggg wait. I may get intro'd to monster drink tonight. I havent stayed up this late in forfrickenever!! Well unless a kiddo or 3 tag teamed me. Which by the way happened last night and I am too excited getting ready to even try for a nap. Anyway, I just wanted to let ya know if ya wanna see my chest on da web, check it...yo!!!! Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I feel like I'm 17 again!! This is not the last time you will hear about the movie from me I'm sure!!
