Jacob Singing to Mommy

My little man...he never ceases to amaze me! He can be inconsiderate to his little brother and sister sometimes, but yet he can be the most sweet and loving little man ever! I love how he just walks up to me and tells me how much he loves me and how I am the bestest mommy in the whole world. He tells me how pretty and gorgeous I am. He tells me how I'm his special girl. He tells me how he's a mama's boy. The list could go on and on. Tonight he walks up to me while I am ironing and he tells me that he made up a special song just for his "only" mommy. Once he sang the song to me, I knew that I just had to record it. So, I asked him to sing it again and again. I think he enjoyed singing it to me as much as I enjoyed hearing it! He is singing how he loves me so much...more than the whole world. What a cute and sweet little boy I have...I am truly blessed!

Taylor started cheerleading a few weeks ago and is having so much fun with it. They are called the Firecrackers. She was able to do this with her friend Jenna which makes it even more fun. Here are a few pictures of their first game and only 2 practices. I thought they did very good for the very little that they practiced. There is a little video at the end, but it is really hard to see. Who knows what my wonderful hubby/camera man was doing to make it so dark.

my little cheerleader!

Taylor, Jenna and Emily (Jenna's sister) all so happy!

Some More Misc. Pictures

Here are a few more misc pictures that I took in January. Thought I would share them with you all.

Jacob giving his bunny a ride...he's so dang cute with that smile!

All my kids have gone through a phase where they played with pads and tampons. So Hayden couldn't be any different. Scott and I laughed so hard. He even has one stuck on the bottom of his foot and he is trying to eat a tampons. I sure have a silly little boy!

Hayden not looking very happy.

Such a cute little boy...even when he does look unhappy.

Jacob is "fixing" my table so we can give it to Granny K when she comes

and still working on it

almost done.

Hayden so happy because his sister put a lizard on his shirt.

He loved having the lizard on his shirt...we laughed so hard! he would walk a little and then stop and look down at the lizard and smile really big. He did that for several minutes. Once the lizard started moving to his neck, I made Taylor take it off of him. I wasn't about to touch that thing!

Our Time in Houston with Family

Melissa, Justin and Ian came to Houston and we went to go spend some time with them. We had so much fun spending some time with Ian. Sunday the kids and I went to "Flipping Out" which is a place the kids absolutely love. It is a huge room full of large inflatable jumps. The kids played, played and played some more. It was so cute to hear Ian scream for Taylor and Jacob to come and play with him. Once we were done there Melissa and Justin met us at Chuck E. Cheeses. It was a wonderful day that went by so fast. Here are a few pictures of the day.

Jacob sliding down and having fun.

Taylor and Ian sliding down too.

Taylor and Ian...what cutie pies.

Trying to take a picture of them all together

and trying again...they just wouldn't stay still! They just wanted to run and play.

Some Misc. Pictures to Share!

Here are a few misc. pictures I thought I would share with everyone!

Grandma trying to make Hayden be quiet for a little bit by giving him some sprite. Ha! Ha!
My wonderful 83 y/o grandma giving piggy back rides to Jacob...on hard floors at that!

Didn't last too long though...until grandma tubbles over! LOL!!

Grandma and I right before I took her to the airport!

Taylor and her teacher Mrs. Kulaga...whom she absolutely loves!!!

The kids each caught a lizard and we thought this was wierd so I posted it!

Hayden digging and playing kitchen in Jacob's closet!

It was one of those times where your child is so quiet you better go check on them. This is what I found. Totally innocent playing and not getting into something he shouldn't. There is a first time for everything. Ha! Ha! Just kidding!!

Taylor with her hula hoop showing off!

Texting (pertending folks...she doesn't actually have a real phone) and hula hooping....she didn't think I could do it! She was right!!

Scott taking the kids for a ride in the bike trailer.

Our Silly Little Boys!

I could sit and watch our two boys play together all day long. It is so wonderful to see how they are really starting to play so rough and yet sweet together. Jacob finally has a boy to play with around here! His best little buddy is a girl and then of coarse his sister Taylor. Jacob loves to tie things together and drag his brother or his bunnie on all sorts of things. I love this stage where they can play together!! It used to always be Taylor playing with Hayden and trying to entertain him, so it is so sweet to see Jacob and Hayden playing. I think Jacob likes being the big brother for a change!

Grandma helping Jacob give his brother a piggy back ride!

Jacob pulling Hayden around using a rope and his little motorized toy.

Having some more fun!

and more....

Hayden driving Jacob around!

until Jacob takes over!

Christmas Day

We had a very nice Christmas! It was so relaxing and enjoyable. The kids were sooo excited waking up and seeing their presents from santa. Santa even left a little piece of his red coat in our chimney screen (Scott and I couldn't stop laughing about that). Grandma and I made the yummy Christmas meal...go us!! Usually if we are with Scott's family it is my mother in law and Scott or my sister in law that cooks, so this was a big deal for me. When we are with my family, it is my sister that cooks. Well, I did good with a lot of Grandma's help. Here are just a few of my tons and tons of pictures.

Nana and Hayden...early in the morning.
