Bye-Bye Mickey Mouse, See ya next time!

All good things must come to an end and we bid farewell to Mickey's house in March.

Until next time, Mr. Mouse.

Spring in Florida -- Where you wear jackets one day and go swimming the next!

Lost: 2 Teeth

If found, please keep and put cash under my pillow! So after wiggling and pulling for months with much determination but very little progress, Logan announced that something was pushing on his tongue. Lo and behold, he had two teeth poking through behind his baby teeth! Of course, this little dental emergency could only occur on a weekend. After two days of fretting over it and goggling the consequences of permanent teeth poking through prematurely, we were able to be seen at our dentist's office and have the baby teeth removed. Logan hardly blinked an eye (probably because he was so excited about the impending Tooth Fairy visit). Ok, this is gross, but I couldn't leave it out. Check out the roots on those things! They weren't going anywhere any time soon!!!

hairy faces & Keegan logic

KEEGAN: You shaving your legs, mom?
ME: Yes.
KEEGAN: And your face too?
ME: No, not my face.
KEEGAN: Why not?
ME: Because I'm a girl and only boys shave their faces.
KEEGAN: Nuh-Uh! Papa shaves HIS face.
ME: Right. Papa is a boy.
KEEGAN: No he's not. He's a Papa.

it's my happy mouth

Keegan: Mommy, I a good boy. My got a happy mouth on my hand!

Say! I like green eggs and ham!

I do! I like them. Sam-I-Am. And I would eat them in a boat! And I would eat them with a goat!

And I will eat them in the rain, and in the dark, and on a train!

And in a car. And in a tree.

They are so good, so good, you see!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SUESS!

candy and parties and treats galore

Valentine's Day 2011 Be mine ~ Gavin and his girlfriend, Chloe.

Keegan and his girlfriend, Kentley. She generally likes to show her affection by hitting and scratching him.

Social Butterflies

No pictures of Logan's party. His class didn't have one. Bah Humbug.

Wordless Wednesday: February Disney Trip #2

Blogger update

So, it looks like Blogger lost 5 of my posts that I had made around the time of the crash. I'm still pretty bummed about that, but I have submitted a form to let them know about the issue and that's about all I can do at this point. Though I will say that I have really lost faith in them as a blogging host. Also, the customer service has been HORRIBLE. I don't know what I would do if something happened to this blog before I had a chance to print it. In any case, I'm going to skip those 5 posts for now and continue on with the hopes that they will be restored in the next week or so. If they aren't, then I guess I'll have to go back and repost. Enjoy.

Blogger Disruption

On May 11-12, Blogger experienced a massive little disruption. Unfortunately, this was the exact time in which I spent several hours updating my blog and catching you up on our fabulous little life and my adorable little children. Those posts initially posted as normal, but have since disappeared and are no longer saved in my account. I'm trying to wait out the storm and see if they're able to fix it before taking the time to post again, so please be patient. It could be worse, I've seen several people post that they created a blog from scratch on that very day and their entire blog has disappeared. In any case, I'm hopeful that they'll be able to fix it. This has served as a wakeup call since I use this blog as my family scrapbook (who has time for the real thing these days?) and have never attempted to back it up. I'm working on backing it up in its entirety as well as finding a way to print it into an album for my family to have to keep -- probably something I should have done long ago. Can you believe I have been posting for three years now?

Be Mine

My three handsome men ready for a day of Valentine's, candy, and kisses too!

Wordless Wednesday -- February Disney Trip #1

Just a little help from my brothers

Brothers are good at reading stories and keeping me company while I try to use the potty!
I did it!

So it's only fair that they get to have a popsicle too!

Playing catch up

I'm catching up slowly, but surely. Have you noticed, all you faithful reader(s) out there (Hi, mom!)? I've been trying to do 1 post per day, which will hopefully get me all caught up by the time school is out. So anticipate up-to-date play-by-plays of our summer adventures. 1 month and counting!!!!! We can't wait!

Praise for Summer

Our weekend...

GAVIN: I'm just loving God, Mama!!! 'Cause I love Him for making summer. And we get to do fun stuff. And I love YOU for taking us to do fun stuff like go swimming!

Dragon's Den Forms Tournament 2011

January 29, 2011

Green belts preparing to open up a can of......Our faithful cheering squad!

Excellent forms!

Tie-breaking match

And LOGAN takes the GOLD!

More of the cheering squad...hours and hours later. Gavin is giving me a massage and Keegan is driving his cars around on the mat.

Gold and Silver medalists about to be rewarded for their hard work with a couple of pizza from Decent Pizza. Yum!

Mama's boy...well, one of them anyway.

2011!

~Happy 2011~
This was the only decent picture I could get of them.

They'd rather tickle each other than photograph nicely.

Our new year got off to a bit of a rough start. Jay hobbled around on crutches due to a TaeKwonDo mishap. I STILL continue to tell him that he's not a spring chicken anymore. Nor is he a black belt. So he shouldn't act like either. Logan took the fall from his bike . And shortly after we arrived at Nana's for New Year's Day dinner, people were dropping like flies with an awful stomach bug affliction. May the following 364 days of 2011 be better than Day 1.
