Best Dream!

I was laying under a blanket all snuggled up with Jenna on the sofa. I was watching Fox news and she was sleeping. She pops her eyes open and says:

Jenna: "Mom, I was just having a better dream than you."

Mom: "Really?"

Jenna: "I was on a playground and there was a lot of ________ (not sure what she said). There was 10 of them...no, there was like 100 of them."

Mom: "Like on the playground at Sandy Pines?"

Jenna: "No, there were so many of them." (I still don't don't what "them" was.)

Mom: "How fun!"

Jenna: "Well, I have to get back to it now..." as she rolls over and falls asleep again (immediately.)

I just had to laugh. I wish I could "get back to it now" when I wake up from a good dream. When I even wake up a little my "mind" takes over as I start thinking of the 100 things I need to do that day. Oh, the carefree life of a child. I'm so glad it's that way for them!! I'm also so glad for Jenna. That little girl makes me smile A LOT! She is at such a fun age and she loves to share her feelings. On that note, feel free to ask me about the "thought" she shared with me last week. Remind me that it was when I was getting a pair of socks out of a basket. Let's just say that is the most information about it that I will post on the blog or facebook...and for those that already heard about it, you know why that's all I'm saying...:-) She makes me smile.

So much for the warm weather

Well, so much for the excitement of warm weather. The kids were out enjoying their scooters when Jessi came in crying with an injury. She has a high pain tolerance, so this was unusual. She couldn't hold her hand up, so we headed to the med center. A couple of hours and a couple of x-rays later....they said she has a "Fractured Elbow." Good, I thought... it's not broken. Until they explained that "a fracture is the medical term for a broken bone." :-) They put her in a splint and wrapped it up for now. We have another appointment on Friday morning where they will probably put it in a cast. Although she probably won't be playing softball and soccer like we planned this spring, at least it's not during the summer to keep her from the beach!

Ready for spring!

With the warmer weather today, it's making me wish Spring was already here! I decided it was time to get a summer-y looking picture back up! Scott just called and asked if we could grill something tonight. Sounds good, doesn't it?

January was busy with Elite Softball, Abbi had her ears pierced (she was so excited!), a trip to a hotel with a water park (thanks mom & dad K for the fun Christmas gift!), I had a fun weekend away with some friends to work on our albums, and Michael's birthday (he didn't ask about a video, so I didn't post one...). I suppose if the next couple of months are just as busy, spring will actually be here before I know it! (And so will soccer and softball...yikes!)

Happy Birthday Abbi...10 Already!!

Happy Birthday to our sweet 10 year old!!! Can that be right? They are not kidding when they say that kids grow up FAST! Seems like it was just yesterday..... We love you, honey!

Where did she learn that??

Jenna received a gift of "dress up stuff" from Grandpa & Grandma T. She loved it! She wore it the entire time we were at their house. I asked her to pose for me, and without any prompting...she came up with this (hips and all!). We had a good laugh.

A Merry Christmas

Like everyone else, I'm sure, we had a very busy but great Christmas! We headed down to Illinois to celebrate with Mom and Dad K. (and uncle Danny) and then came home again to celebrate with Mom and Dad T. and family. We also had our normal Christmastime flu. Thankfully, it has only hit one...so far. For those of you who didn't get our Christmas card...don't feel bad. They got about as far as the thought in my head that I needed to do Christmas cards. Hope you all had a great Christmas! (These were taken down in IL)

Happy Birthday Allison Hope

Happy Birthday to our sweet six year old! Allison is our girl who is always full of smiles and has a GREAT deep-belly laugh. She loves to clean (I'm a lucky mommy!) and help me around the house. We love you sweetheart!

(Yes, I know there have been a lot of videos lately...guess we're lucky enough to be extra busy with a lot of birthday's this time of year...we still have one more to go. :-) Even though each birthday is special, you know you can't do a video for one unless you do one for all!)
