Happy Birthday to my precious girl!!
She was half asleep this morning when we sang Happy Birthday...

She wanted her hair straightened, so the Chi worked its magic...

What a sweetie!

cleaning the castle.

Adelyn wanted to tidy up her castle furniture...this is where I found her after changing Blake's diaper in the other room...


clean and sparkly...now if I could just get her to be that concerned with the real house...

On another note, Aubrey had a field trip today...brought home a brown paper bag to use for packing her lunch...she was very upset about the size of the bag and whether or not her lunch would fit...her exact quote, "ughhhh, SMALLEST lunch of MY LIFE!"...maybe we should work on portion control??

last thing...what do you use to clean the fingerprints off a stainless steel fridge?

quote of the day

Tonight was the first night I let Blake sit in the bathtub with the girls.
Addy: Mommy, why does Blake have that kind of vagina?

spring has sprung!

HOWDY!

Y'all have a fantastic Friday! I'm celebrating Texas at my school, and boy am I glad to be back in Texas!!

the kind of thing that melts my heart

hellloooo out there....

My mom is kinda sucking at this blogging thing, so I thought I would give her a hand. A lot has happened around here since her last post. First, we moved out of our rental and into our new house. It's enormous compared to the last couple of places we've lived! My sister, Adelyn, keeps asking where rooms are. She is a handful, mommy says. Right before we moved out of our rental, she poured a packet of red kool-aid on the carpet in the master closet. That cost us a lot of money to fix! AND, as if she didn't get into enough trouble over there, she has ALREADY gotten pink chapstick all over our carpet in the new house. I think I'm gonna like her. She is going to teach me lots of tricks. Aubrey is not quite as exciting as Adelyn. She gets blue stars almost everyday in school, and I think that's pretty good because Mommy always tells her she is doing such a great job. Both of my sisters have newly painted pink rooms, blech! Mine is tan, so I'm cool with that. Mommy has been very busy trying to get stuff together for the house, and she says I am an excellent shopping companion. I never complain or offer an opinion...whatever that means. In other news, Daddy had a bad car accident in Mommy's Tahoe. We haven't heard yet if the car is totaled, but Mommy said it looked pretty bad. I'm so glad my Daddy wasn't hurt because we couldn't survive without him!! We've been borrowing Mimi's explorer this week since she is on yet another cruise. We're a little cramped and Adelyn is annoyed that there isn't a DVD player, but we're making the most out of it. It's better than the rental car sitting in the driveway. Mommy is wondering how in the world we'll all fit in an Impala....I guess we'll see as soon as Mimi returns. It's crazy around here, but I love it. I do get ignored on occasion, but Mommy makes up for it with lots of kisses and hugs. She says I am a perfect baby, and I'm not gonna lie...I am. I sleep all night, I only cry when someone has forgotten to feed me, and I am about the most easy going little guy I know. I am already 5 months old!! At my four month check, I was 75th percentile in height (phew...I was getting a little worried there) and 50th in weight...probably going to be tall and skinny like Daddy. Well, I think I'll let someone know it's time to eat again! XOXOXOX, Blake
