Girly Things

ok I have tried to do this several times and it hasn’t worked, so I will try again. I have “stolen” Wells fargo marketing matereial, for my children. JJ wanted to fit on this paper so bad…..HE IS WAY TOOOOO BIG!!! he weighs 87 pounds at 7 years old! Lanie barely fit, she wants to be a ballerina, so you see her artwork with my juvinal help.we traceed Diva in a retire’ and I collored her a tutu like ZOE in seseme street. The cute princess dress up clothes that nanna moosie and auntie bethie gave her keep her totally in princess royalty make believe….i cant get her out of it………..
I had oh I mean WE had so much fun dressing her up. okay she is my live babydoll, I love playing with her! We have so much fun dressing up and guess what. tonight she came out with a flashlight singing…..what I taught her “I’m the happiest girl…..in the whole USA…so shine on me sunshine walk with me world its a skippyidydooo da day….Im the happiest girl in the whole USA! oh so cute! She is her mommy’s DNA I remember singing into a hairbrush, I was the lead singer of ABBA I was I truly was……

What a Month! Starting out just with the retail nightmare and add a two year olds birthday to top it off! Whew am I glad we are done! Now we are onto a new year, I sure Have great wishes for 2006! Number one my Grandmother has her 80th birthday and all of Washington family anticipating us coming down for a huge celebration! This will be so awsome because we haven’t been down in almost 2 years and believe it or not Chris has never been down! I am so excited to show him where I grew up and to indroduce him to my family and friends.
And of course Chris and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last September and we are excited to do the accual “celebrating” somewhere else other than Alaska. We were Planning to go to Hawaii or Vegas, but with my new job were not able to leave, Now we hope to find a quiet gettaway this year…He has a real knack for finding secluded hidaways, so I am anciously waiting for my “romantic Castle” that he will find for us to share a quiet few days in. And we wont have to be away from the kids for long.
Of course I am everybodys new years resolution of losing weight and just living healthy, so far so good, I made my kids eat carots tonight! Aren’t you proud of me?! It will be a great year I am sure. I find that my kids are growing up way to fast, and I feel like I just want to slow time down so I can enjoy and be annoyed by them for longer, but there seems to be no way to do that. My son still is my baby, my girl, still is my big girl, I don’t seem to know when that will change. Please dont make me some character Debbie Renolds would play in a move and still be in my son’s life when he is married with Children, you all are witneses that I DONT WANT TO BE THAT! SO HELP ME GOD!
JJ has such unique fantasy personality, where you never know where he is until he tells you, he is either here or there and he will let you know. A serious writer someday? maybe, or just a mommas boy that is quirky where momma always makes excuses for him…..???? Makes you ponder huh…..

Love to all.

Her birthday party was so BIG! She had to have a “Ballerina birthday party” she now walks around on her tip toes and twirls with her arms in first posistion and says “I’m a rina mommy!” its so adorable.
When I say big I mean Uncle Reckie (as she calls him) spent 18 months building her a gorgeous hope chest and he presented her with it at her party. He did it with extinct wood and it has inlays and it is just beutiful (I want it).
here she is sitting on it.He did such a wonderful job she is a really lucky 2 year old.

Of course as to traditions which I love, Auntie Jen and Mairi made her birthday “rina” cake, which she truly enjoyed she grabed the ballet shoe right off the top!
Thank you girls, your the best. Thank you all for coming to share in her day and we missed all of you that couldn’t be there.

My love to all.
