The Party

Saturday was an eventful day. Emily decided to take two friends rollar skating and the movies for her birthday. We went rollar skating from 1-3 at the local rink then drove about 45 minutes south to Lufkin to the big movie theater to see Hotel for dogs. The girls loved it and had a really good time. John kept Claire and Harrison at home so it was a fun "Big girls" day for us all. That night Emily wasn't hungry for dinner after all the movie popcorn so we had pizza at home and opened gifts and had cake. Emily's favorite gift was her digital camera and she is constantly using it. good thing I got rechargable batteries and a 2 GB SD card. She like to video everything!!

Our Little Artist

The other day Claire wanted to play artist. She wanted an easel to do her work on but we don't have one. She finally settled on on of my work chairs then stood there holding the paint pallet telling me "This is how a real artist does it". I may have to consider an easel for her birthday because she really like this and it kept her busy. The only down side is I have pink paint on my Aeron chair now!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY

Can you believe it has been 10 years since our oldest was born?

Neither can I but today she turns 10. We have a fun day planned for her and two friends to go rollar skating and then to see the movie Hotel for Dogs. She is becoming quite a young lady and can be a big helper to me with Harrison. She is very creative which is exciting and frustating because she isn't very neat about cleaning up after one of her creations. We are working on that. She has a kind spirit and worries about others feelings. She has a goofy sense of humor that is fun. We love her very much and can't imagine our family without her.

Silly boy!

You can't put on a broken headband. Harrison broke on of my headbands then kept trying to put it on his head and coudn't quite understand why it woudn't stay. He sure looks cute trying!

Can you believe on January 23rd....

It is in the 70's, my flowers are blooming and Harrison is ready to go on a picnic!!! The weather flucuates a ton here. One day you want to wear flip flops and be outside. The next day you are putting layers of sweaters on and it is below 40 degrees at night. I like the warm days but the big temperature swings makes everyone sick. (Do you recognize Harrison's bakset?)

Another take down!

Harrison got Claire pinned the other night like he did Abby. He has a thing for sitting on their head. It makes me laugh but Claire couldn't take 25 almost 26 lbs to her head for very long. I like how he is watching TV like it is no big deal but Claire is starting to scream. He is a true brother!!!

Harrison in Heaven

Harrison found Abby's huge lollipop from christmas the other night and thought he hit the jackpot!!! The sucker was as big as his head and he had a hard time holding it up. He worked hard to nibble on it and get it really juicy. It all came to an end when he dropped it on the tile and it broke into pieces. Abby was okay with that because it was easier for her to eat in pieces too.
