Who doesn't need a snack while napping?

Last week my sister-in-law Danielle and I went to the Children's museum with the kids. (Had a blast by the way) Anyways, on the way home Cameron was so tired and I didn't want him to fall asleep yet. So I gave him a cracker to keep him awake. Well it didn't work. It was so cute watching him eat while napping. At the very end we turned a corner and it woke him up, and he puts his hand out for more. This kid LOVES to eat. He would sit all through church if we had enough food to last. What a cutie.

Best Hubby Ever!

Ryan was able to work an extra shift last night, Brooklynn woke up about 2am coughing and we got to sleep about 5am. I was really tired this morning and acctually had no idea what the date was only that it was Friday. I noticed that Ryan was kind of late coming home and normally I call him to make sure he is ok. But I suddenly got a text saying that he was almost home. So I didn't call. Ryan came through the door with some beautiful flowers and a sweet card. I had no idea what he was giving them to me for. Except that Ryan doesn't like to give flowers for Valentines, Anniversary or Mother's Day. He feels that he would rather give them to me for no reason, rather than just because he is "suppose" to. (Except I love that every Mother's day he buys me flowers for the yard.) Anyways... I opened the card and started crying. Today is the 10 year anniversary of our first date.


Oh my gosh. Ryan is so sweet and I usually remember this and I can't believe I forgot. (Let's just blame the fact that I had surgery last week and really haven't left the house and so dates were all messed up. Plus I had a long night with Brooklynn) But I just wanted to say how I am so happy and thankful for the past 10 years I have spent with him. Although neither of us wanted to be on the blind date we were set up on last minute, but it turned out great. (It wasn't that we didn't want to go really, but Ryan didn't want to date a High School Girl and I had other plans that night.) I am sure glad we both went. Ryan is a great husband and wonderful father. And I love him more and more every day. Thanks Honey! I love you so much. Eternity is going to Rock with you!

Smart little girl!

Last time I taught preschool I was going to teach on the letter N. I thought to have a little review and talk about Names and Numbers. So I had the kids practice spelling their names writing them. We also practiced numbers. We did different games and activities about Names and Numbers.


Brooklynn got really excited and can now spell out loud Brooke, Cat, Mom, Cam and sometimes Dog and Dad (She mixes those two up.) She can write on paper Mom and Cat.


I am so proud of her and how good she is doing. I hope that she continues to love to learn and like school. We do have to work on numbers though. She has no interest in them. Way to go Berkie!

It's Groundhog's Day!

Monday night Brooklynn had a Groundhogs Muffin Tin Monday. She had a hotdog at the ground hog. Baked Beans at the ground. A cracker was a flower hoping Spring would come and Marshmellows for the snow. Everything else was just dinner. Sorry I am not that creative this time.


Brooklynn enjoyed her food and was a silly girl as usual.


We got Cameron his own Muffin Tin and he joined in the fun. This boy LOVES to eat.

Goofy Kids.

Today when Cameron was asleep and Brooklynn was having Quiet time in her room I was watching that movie Fame. Brooklynn heard the music and came out and started dancing. It was so funny I recorded it.


Cameron started doing this Grouchy Face and it is so cute. Too bad he doesn't look at the camera for it. He also started giving the sweetest hugs. Although he wasn't very cooperative, but he is still cute.

The Aquarium

Still playing catch up. A few weeks ago we went to the Aquarium with my friend. The kids had a lot of fun. Brooklynn really enjoyed it and was pointing out different fish. She said she really liked "the tiny Jelly Fish, the little Sea Horses and that's all." Cameron was amazed with everything and wanted to get out and touch everything.



I really liked the Jelly Fish also. It is kinda dark, but still pretty cool .



This picture ended up blurry, but I still thought it almost added movement. Jelly fish are amazing.



This fish was awesome and it reminded me of the fish in Finding Nemo. We had a fun time and especially for Cameron's sake we will be going back again soon.
