Snow in February.....in TEXAS!!!????

We got so much snow! We made a big snowman and a few little ones too! The first winter I didn't go get winter stuff for the kids. Last year they used it once so I thought why bother! This year would have been a good year to have it! Next year for sure I will be more prepared. I should have known better.....it is TEXAS after all! You never know what your going to get!



Kacey wanted me to kiss the snowman!

They enjoyed the snowball fights until they got hit!

Kacey built this huge snow hill and climbed right up on it!






Kolache before snow! They love to help with anything and everything! Kolache's are their favs!






Trent is always with a truck or car!

CHEESE!

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas! It was so fun to hang out as a family and the kids loved the extra time with Daddy! Of coarse we got to many presents and they got sick of it and I had to dump the stockings and get excited about it for them to even look at it. Next year we are limiting the presents for sure! They would have just been fine with Santa's unwrapped presents....Trent got a train table and Kacey a doll house.

The snow was a special bonus. Trent wanted to play until his hands couldn't take it anymore. I didn't get hats and gloves this year....because I always do and we never end up using them. Could have used them this year. It stopped Kacey from playing in it but not Trent. He screamed when we made him come in.




Kacey got some really cool play-doh stuff. A hamburger maker and oven and lots of cool gadgets from MawMaw and Aunt LaLa.

They were tired at this point and enjoyed a good story from PawPaw.

Kacey got a microphone from Aunt Nette that she loves.

Trent got so much car stuff he is in heaven!!!!!

My mom got all the grandkids toothbrushes.....electric ones and my kiddos love them. They had them in there mouths all night. Kacey has just recently tried cleaning the bathroom counter with it.........yuck!

They do still fight but have been having some sweet moments lately!

Happy Birthday Trent!!!!!

My baby is 2!!!! I can't believe it.....he is sooooo big. I love my little boy. He loves cars and dinosaurs ohhh and fighting with his big sister!!! He chases us around the house roaring and he loves to cuddle. I love to hear him say "hold me", "I'm sleeping", "luv you", "no...sissy" and many other things. His favorite foods are hot dogs and meatballs. He asks for hotdogs morning, afternoon and night.....but he will eat pretty much anything we fix him. We had a small birthday with family at our house.

Aunt DD made a dump truck cake as Trent requested and he loved it...there was a matching balloon too!

We got him a John Deere tractor with the help of MawMaw and PawPaw(thank you for getting the battery and taking care of that) he was slow in getting the hang of it but just the other day he rode it all the way to the park!

On another note:

I am enjoying my few weeks off from school to spend with the family! I finished this semester with an 87 and am very happy with that! I have a few weeks off and am loving it! 1 semester down 3 to go. Thank you to all that have helped me through this semester!

October Fun!

This month has gone so fast. Kacey is growing up! She is 100% potty trained now.....it only took about a month or more of trying. She has had 3 accidents but I am pretty sure she's got it now. Since Trent's one poop in the potty he has had no interest in it.

Trent is talking so much and I am getting a little baby crazy but school is just to much right now to have another. I baby him so much but he is resisting. Now he tells me "I TOLD GYOU" all the time whether he is right or wrong. It's funny.


We went to the pumpkin patch on a cold and muddy day and on top of that my camera battery ran out so I only have a few pictures. I was so upset I couldn't get good pic's this year. They had fun...the hay ride was the big hit and we had to wait along time in line because the tractor kept getting stuck in the mud.

Halloween was a blast. Kacey was a pink superwoman and Trent was superman. She wore hers a lot and loved it but Trent on the other hand cried every time I put it on. We trick or treated in our neighborhood with the Lewis family and they really got Trent and Kacey into it. They did get a little scared with the people pretending to be dummies and moving when they got closer so Trent stayed in the wagon and Kacey had to be held after that! I can't believe how much candy they got.

Update Finally!!!!

August 11th: Happy Birthday Kacey!!!! I can' t believe she is 3. On the day of her birthday we went to Chuck E Cheese with all of her cousins and had a great time.

That weekend we had a family swim party. She had a ton of fun and got way to many toys.

I started nursing school and it is very hard and time consuming. I miss my kiddos but am lucky to have such great family and friends that are supporting and helping me. It is so hard leaving them. Kacey doesn't seem to care so much but my little guy is so hard to leave. He cries and it just pulls on the heart strings.

The tests are so hard and after every test I just lay in bed and turn on Dora. I am just so drained. After my second test in the middle of Sept. I was laying in bed and Trent ran in and said "Mommy poop!" I looked over the bed and he had taken his diaper and pants off. Wow...he must have really wanted me out of bed cause I jumped up. I was ready for the worst. I looked every where and he just kept saying "Poop...Poop....Poop!" then he pointed and he had pooped in Kacey's little potty. I was amazed...to say the least. He was only 18months.....so I was happy to go buy him cute little undies and enjoy the thought of him being potty trained before Kacey.....but of course that would be to good to be true....he hasn't sat in the potty since.



Kacey is now getting the whole potty training thing and does well but it's hard when I don't spend everyday with her. I am going broke bribing her... Today she sat on the pot 3 times till she squeezed a poop to get a toy every time. "Toy for poop and treat for pee!", She tells Trent all the time.

Oh I also celebrated my 30th Birthday at Thunderbird with family and friends it was so much fun!

Just yesterday Mark was diagnosed with Swine flu so it has been a hard long weekend. He is doing good and is quarantined in the back bedroom. He can't go to work til Wed per Dr orders. Craziness.

I think I've covered it and I need to post more often. Time is going so fast I am going to forget so I need to post.
