mom and me dance

So here is my dancing boy!!!! Yes him and I went out on the town last week for a mother son dance and he was awesome. He danced and danced and danced. He danced to the superman song!!!! He was so cute and such a gentlemen. He ate all of his dinner and loved his dessert. He especially loved that we got our picture taken professionally!!! I had a great time with him and am planning on doing this more often. We talked and were silly and had lots of fun. Thanks bubba for such a fun date!

Cousins

All of the girls from El Paso were here this weekend for a great cousin time!!!! Jaycie had a sleepover Friday which Jaxson always loves because they don't get to spend much time together now that they are big Kindergartner's. Then we met up with my dad and 5 of my nieces on Saturday at a Safety Fair in Peoria. My dad is truly a saint, he had no worries and walked around and enjoyed the weather and time with his grandchildren he is a fantastic Papa!!! All of the kids got a free bike helmet, and went on a bunch of bouncy houses. The older girls and Jaxson also got a fake cast on their wrist which they pretended it was broken. We had a picnic on the grass and played with a bunch of beach balls. Jaxson and his dad entered a contest with radio Disney and won!!!! He was the grand prize and got a cool buzz light year toy with a emergency pack. He was ecstatic!!!! It was a great day and then the older girls came for a sleepover. We went to church the next day and they loved seeing their old friends. Of course there was lots of tears when Jaxson and Kennedi said goodbye. I get all choked up too, the cousin bond is so important. I was a crybaby every time my cousins would have to go back to Colorado too. They are great friends and I am grateful for that !!!! Nothing like a long day to tire them out!!! I love me a sleeping child!

Snow day

Yes snow in Phoenix is rare but if your child goes to this preschool and raises $2300 they get a patch of snow. Mya did like it, but there was one naughty boy that kept throwing it in her face. He actually threw some at me too, but most of it went down my shirt, gross because it was dirty grassy snow. Well these are the memories and she did have a great time, however I love the warm weather and living in snow would not set well with me.

So you think you can dance????

So this girl is getting her shake on in ballet and tap class. Well not yet I guess but she loves to tap and be pretty in her outfit. She has had 2 classes now and loves it. She is there with 2 of her friends, but parents aren't allowed to stay so I am sad I don't get to see more of her moves, hopefully they let us stay for a bit next week I am going to ask if we can watch the last 10 min or so we will see what they say and maybe I can get some action shots! Keep it up my little ballerina!

5 months

It has gone by way too fast and my newest baby is so big. It was her birthday and I sang and took pictures, however still no professional ones(bad mom I know). Well she is over 14 pounds and as happy and squealy as possible. She loves to have me in the room and likes to be close to my heart always. Translated that means HELD!!!! What have I done, I know but I just can't help to look at those sad blue eyes and know that she won't want me to do this forever. I do love ever time she falls asleep in my arms and smells so sweet. I love the way she nuzzles in my neck and pulls my hair with drool all over the place. She truly is a love of my life and I can't imagine it any other way. She lights up my morning with her huge small mouth smile!!!! We love her lots, little Whitney

Homework!!

Yes this is definitely not my favorite topic, but now with a big kindergartner I have had to assist a bit. Well the other night he was asked to write all of his "it" words that he can find while reading his books.
Hit, sit, lit, were a couple and then there was
t_ _, and another naughty one with an sh. He came up to his dad and asked for his blessing on his homework, he graciously said those weren't correct, and asked me what kind of book was he reading????? Jaxson had no idea they were inapproriate, I guess someday we will have to elaborate it was a good laugh for us though!!!

He is home!!!!!

Here is my FAVORITE nephew!!!!! He is a little mad and doesn't want his picture taken, but we still will. He finally came home and is lovin every minute along with all of us and his sweet family. He has met new cousins, (Emersyn). Notice he is giving her the "who cares look". He is so cute and changing every time I see him. Mya wants to see baby Lucas everyday, and she asks whenever we talk to aunt Molly. We sure are so excited he is home and can't wait to have many of play dates with the kids!!!!
