Mr. Harrison

Here are two new pictures of the boy. Since he can't climb up on the furniture yet he pulls the pillows down to lay on the floor. Here he is enjoying some Handy Manny. After his bath one day he snuck off to watch some TV before I could get him dressed. It was too cute not to get a picture of!

John has taught Harrison how to open peanuts and will sit outside with him eating nuts. It is fun to watch Harrison because whenever he gets it open and sees the nut he says "cool". It is kind of a little grunt sometimes but he is always excited to get the nut inside.

Claire end of the year program

Claire had a program of a couple songs for the end of the year. It ws really cute. Claire loved school, especially he two teachers, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Jennifer. Ms. jennifer lives down the street from us so she would take Calire to twice a week when she went. It was a huge help to me and made a special bond between Claire and Ms. Jennifer

John's Birthday

John had his big 35 on May 4th. My big gift to him was to go see Dave Matthews Band in concert in Houston on the 1st. It was a great concert and I enjoyed the time spent with John. My Brother in Law Ken so kindly met us in The woodlands and picked up the kids so we could enjoy a super date night! I can't thank him enough. Monday on John's actual day I made his favorite meal of ribs in a smoker and we had our good friends the Smith's over to share in the special day. Emily was her creative self and made a birthday banner for him. She thought it was funny to make the 3 really big like her was only 3 years old! It was a fun night and I love to do special things for the man I love!!!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

I am a slacker and didn't get pictures of Abby posted for her birthday. Our Abby turned 8 years old on April 23rd. Abby came into this world as a teeny ball of fire. She has kept me busy ever since. I have enjoyed watching her mature and grow in the last couple years. She will always be my hot and cold child but when she is hot she is very loving and works hard to serve others. She is very social and wants to be playing with other constantly. She has lots of friends and wants to include everyone. She is developing a good friendship with Claire. She enjoys girlscouts and being with her dad. i am so happy to have her in our family! Love you and Happy birthday Abby.

New favorites of Bubbie!

Here are some new shots of bubbie and the things he has been up to lately. He has learned to climb on the kitchen table but then calls out for help down. He likes to carry around FooFoo. The way he holds her makes me laugh so hard I can't stop him from holding her like that. She holds still for him so I guess she doesn't mind that much. The last picture is Harrison after the egg hunt at our spring family fling sitting and eating the whole contents of his eggs in one sitting. He was in heaven and sat there for a good twenty minutes.

Easter

My rechargable batteries for my camera are shot but I am trying to suck as much juice out of them as possible because I haven't had a chance to buy some more. Unfortuately my Easter pictures didn't turn out that great. The kids enjoyed their baskets. Harrison loved the truck book he got and ran right up to John to have him read it to him. He is very into trucks right now. Most of the pictures are blurry because I had to quickly turn on the camera and take the picture before it died completely on me and there wasn't enough juice to use the flash. This was after sitting overnight in the charger too!!! SORRY! Harrison was in candy heaven and went into a candy coma. The girls loved the treats from Grandma and Papa too! Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny forgot to leave our house....

Emily has been begging to use her birthday money to buy a bunny since February. I decided to kill two birds with one stone and told her if she keeps her room clean she can buy one. Saturday a man was selling bunnies at the Flea market for $5 each. Emily didn't want one of those because they were full size but Claire did so she used her money to buy FooFoo. Sunday we went to get Emily's dwarf bunnie. So we are now the proud owners of two bunnies. We will have to make a divider for them because FooFoo is a girl and Cookie is a boy!!! We aren't going to do more than two bunnies.
